Product details
Overview
LTC2389ILX-16#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 2.5Msps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with pin-configurable analog input ranges (±4.096V fully differential, 0V–4.096V pseudo-differential unipolar, ±2.048V pseudo-differential bipolar), internal 4.096V reference (±20ppm/°C max), and 96.0dB SNR (fully differential). It operates from a single 5V supply, delivers no missing codes at 16 bits, and targets high-speed data acquisition in industrial process control and medical imaging systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2389ILX-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2389ILX-16#PBF pinout, LTC2389ILX-16#PBF application, or LTC2389ILX-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation to 85°C, ±1LSB INL (max), no pipeline delay, parallel/serial interface flexibility, and internal reference buffer enabling direct sensor interfacing without external level-shifting circuitry.
Technical Context
The LTC2389ILX-16#PBF implements a true SAR architecture with internal oscillator-based timing, eliminating external clock synchronization requirements. Its conversion time is fixed at 245–310ns, with zero cycle latency in parallel modes and no pipeline delay-enabling deterministic real-time sampling for closed-loop control.
Pin configuration via MODE0, OB/2C, and PD/FD selects between three analog input ranges and output data formats (offset binary/two's complement), while A0/A1 configure parallel bus segmentation. The device supports 1.8V–5V I/O voltages via separate OVDD rail, decoupling digital interface voltage from core VDD.

Pinout & Package
48-pin 7mm × 7mm plastic LQFP package (LX) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 49 = GND). Pin count and layout match industry-standard footprint for drop-in compatibility with other 48-lead LQFP ADCs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,17,20,35,41,44,48) | Ground reference | Multiple dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR in high-speed conversion. |
| VDD (Pins 2,3,19,40,45,46,47) | Core analog/digital supply | 7 independent 5V supply pins require local 0.1µF + 10µF ceramic decoupling per pin group. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-configurable input range | Single hardware configuration supports ±4.096V, 0–4.096V, or ±2.048V inputs-eliminates redesign when signal chain topology changes. |
| No pipeline latency | Zero-cycle-latency parallel interface enables immediate readout after BUSY deassertion-critical for deterministic control loops. |
| Internal reference buffer | Integrated buffer drives external RC filters directly-removes need for discrete op-amp buffering in anti-aliasing networks. |
| Nap/sleep power-down | Reduces current to ≤250µA during idle periods-extends battery life in portable instrumentation and reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts. |
| Parallel + serial interface | MODE0 pin selects between 16-bit parallel bus (D0–D15) or SPI-compatible serial interface (SDI/SDO/SCK)-maximizes host MCU flexibility. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7960BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 5Msps, external reference only, no pin-configurable input range, requires 2.5V supply for core logic. | Higher resolution but lacks integrated reference and flexible input range-requires additional reference buffer and level-shifting circuitry. | Select when 18-bit resolution and 5Msps throughput outweigh added design complexity and cost of external support components. |
| ADS8860IPWR | 16-bit, 1Msps, internal reference (±10ppm/°C), SPI-only interface, 3V supply only, no parallel mode. | Lower speed and single-interface constraint limit use in real-time control; tighter tempco improves reference stability but lower throughput restricts bandwidth. | Select for lower-power, lower-cost applications where 1Msps is sufficient and SPI interface aligns with host processor architecture. |
Compared with AD7960BCPZ-RL7 and ADS8860IPWR, the LTC2389ILX-16#PBF uniquely combines 2.5Msps speed, pin-selectable input ranges, integrated reference with buffer, and dual parallel/serial interfaces-making it optimal for industrial DAQ systems requiring field-deployable flexibility without sacrificing precision or timing determinism.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2389ILX-16#PBF?
The LTC2389ILX-16#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. This grade is confirmed by the "I" suffix in the part number and validated across all electrical specifications in the datasheet's "l"-denoted parameters.
Does the LTC2389ILX-16#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2389ILX-16#PBF includes a precision internal 4.096V reference with ±0.5% initial accuracy and ±20ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient. External reference use is optional and supported via the REFIN pin, but the internal reference is fully functional and buffered for direct connection to anti-aliasing filters.
How does the pin configuration affect analog input range on the LTC2389ILX-16#PBF?
The LTC2389ILX-16#PBF uses OB/2C and PD/FD pins to select among three analog input ranges: fully differential (±4.096V), pseudo-differential unipolar (0V–4.096V), and pseudo-differential bipolar (±2.048V). These settings also determine output coding format (offset binary or two's complement), as defined in Table 2 of the datasheet.
What interface options does the LTC2389ILX-16#PBF support?
The LTC2389ILX-16#PBF supports both parallel and serial interfaces via the MODE0 pin. In MODE0 = 0, it provides a 16-bit parallel output (D0–D15); in MODE0 = 1, it operates as an SPI-compatible serial device with SDI, SDO, and SCK pins. Both modes share the same CNVST and BUSY timing behavior.
Is the LTC2389ILX-16#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC2389 family?
Yes-the LTC2389ILX-16#PBF shares identical 48-pin LQFP pinout with other LTC2389-16 variants (e.g., LTC2389CLX-16#PBF, LTC2389HLX-16#PBF) and maintains pin compatibility with 18-bit versions (e.g., LTC2389-18) for MODE0, OB/2C, PD/FD, and data bus pins, enabling scalable design reuse across resolution grades.
