Product details
Overview
LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 15 Msps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with serial LVDS interface, ±4.096 V differential input range, 95.7 dB SNR at 1 MHz, and internal 2.048 V reference. It operates from 5 V and dual 2.5 V supplies and is used in high-speed imaging, instrumentation, and control-loop data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF pinout, LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF application, or LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no missing codes at 18 bits, ±3 LSB INL max over –40°C to +85°C, LVDS one- or two-lane output mode configurability, and 125 mW power dissipation at full throughput.
Technical Context
The LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF implements a true SAR architecture with no pipeline latency-conversion completes in 63 ns after CNV↑, enabling deterministic timing for closed-loop control. Its fully differential input stage supports Nyquist sampling up to 7.5 MHz with 200 MHz –3 dB input bandwidth and 75 dB CMRR at 1 MHz.
Internal precision circuitry includes a 2.048 V reference with ±20 ppm/°C max drift and a 2× gain reference buffer delivering 4.096 V (±6 mV), both usable with external overdrive. The LVDS interface supports configurable one-lane (18-bit serial) or two-lane (9-bit parallel per lane) output modes, synchronized by DCO echo clock.

Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead (5 mm × 5 mm) plastic QFN (UH package) with exposed pad (Pin 33) soldered to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 4, 10, 21, 26, 29) | Ground reference | Multiple dedicated ground pins minimize impedance and reduce noise coupling into analog/digital domains |
| IN+, IN– (Pins 2, 3) | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±4.096 V differential signal; require 180° phase alignment and 2.048 V common-mode voltage |
| REFGND (Pins 5, 6) | Reference ground return | Must be shorted together and connected directly to exposed pad and reference bypass capacitors |
| REFBUF (Pins 7, 8) | Buffered reference output | Provides 4.096 V (2× internal reference); bypassed with 10 µF ceramic capacitor to REFGND |
| REFIN (Pin 9) | Internal reference output / external reference input | Outputs 2.048 V; accepts external reference if higher accuracy required; tied to GND to disable internal buffer |
| VDD (Pins 11, 12) | 5 V analog supply | 4.75 V to 5.25 V range; bypassed with 0.1 µF + 10 µF ceramics to GND |
| PD (Pin 13) | Power-down enable | Active-low digital input (OVDD-referenced); reduces total current to 10 µW when asserted |
| CLK+/CLK– (Pins 23, 24) | LVDS clock input | Differential clock input (175–650 mV VID); defines sampling instant and serial data rate |
| DA+/DA–, DB+/DB– (Pins 15–18) | LVDS data outputs | One-lane mode uses DA only; two-lane mode outputs MSB/LSB halves simultaneously on DA/DB |
| DCO+/DCO– (Pins 19, 20) | Data clock output | Echo of CLK; used to latch LVDS data reliably at receiver end |
| CNV+/CNV– (Pins 27, 28) | Conversion start trigger | Differential LVDS input; rising edge initiates sample-and-hold hold phase and conversion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline latency | Zero-cycle delay enables real-time feedback in servo and control-loop applications |
| Configurable LVDS interface | Selectable one- or two-lane output mode reduces PCB trace count or doubles data rate without changing clock frequency |
| Integrated reference system | On-chip 2.048 V reference + 2× buffer eliminates need for external precision reference in most applications |
| High CMRR & low distortion | 75 dB CMRR at 1 MHz and –101 dB THD at 1 MHz support clean digitization of small signals in noisy environments |
| Robust analog input structure | ESD-protected inputs with 18 pF sampling capacitance and 28 Ω switch resistance enable stable acquisition with low-impedance drive |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8881IDRCT | 18-bit, 10 Msps, SPI interface, external reference required, 3.3 V supply only | Lacks LVDS interface and integrated reference; lower throughput limits control-loop bandwidth | Choose when SPI compatibility, lower power (65 mW), or 3.3 V-only systems outweigh need for LVDS and internal reference |
| AD7641ASTZ | 18-bit, 2 Msps, parallel CMOS interface, ±5 V supplies, no internal reference | Slower throughput and wider supply range suit legacy industrial PLCs but not high-speed imaging | Prefer for cost-sensitive, lower-speed applications where parallel bus simplifies FPGA interfacing and external references are already deployed |
Compared with ADS8881IDRCT and AD7641ASTZ, the LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF delivers 5× higher throughput than AD7641ASTZ and integrates both reference and LVDS interface-reducing BOM count and layout complexity-while maintaining 18-bit integrity and –40°C to +85°C operation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF?
The LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "I" grade in the part number. This range is validated across all electrical specifications including INL, SNR, and reference stability, making it suitable for deployment in harsh environmental conditions without derating.
Does the LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF require an external reference?
No-the LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF includes a factory-trimmed 2.048 V internal reference with ±0.25% initial accuracy and ±20 ppm/°C max drift, plus a 2× gain buffer delivering 4.096 V. An external reference may be applied to REFIN only if higher absolute accuracy or lower drift is required; otherwise, the internal reference is fully functional and production-validated.
How does the LVDS interface of the LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF support system-level timing integrity?
The LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF provides a dedicated DCO+ / DCO– echo clock synchronized to the data outputs (DA/DB), eliminating skew-induced setup/hold violations at the receiver. Combined with guaranteed tSKEW (–200 ps to +200 ps), this ensures robust data capture even at 15 Msps without complex PCB length matching-critical for high-reliability test and medical systems.
Can the LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF operate with a single-ended CNV signal?
Yes-the LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF supports single-ended CNV operation: tie CNV– to GND and drive CNV+ with a 2.5 V CMOS signal meeting VIH ≥ 1.7 V and VIL ≤ 0.6 V. This simplifies timing generation in systems lacking differential clock resources, while preserving full 15 Msps throughput and specification compliance.
What is the power consumption of the LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF in active and power-down modes?
In active 15 Msps operation, the LTC2387IUH-18#TRPBF draws 35 mA from VDD (5 V), 31.4 mA from VDDL (2.5 V), and 8.8 mA from OVDD (2.5 V), totaling 125 mW. In power-down mode (PD = low), total current drops to 10 μW-achieved by disabling all analog and digital circuitry including the LVDS drivers-enabling ultra-low-power standby in battery-operated instruments.
