Product details
Overview
LTC2389ILX-18#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 18-bit, 2.5Msps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with pin-configurable analog input ranges (±4.096V fully differential, 0–4.096V pseudo-differential unipolar, ±2.048V pseudo-differential bipolar), internal 4.096V reference (±20ppm/°C max), and 99.8dB SNR (fully differential). It operates from a single 5V supply and targets high-speed, wide-dynamic-range data acquisition in industrial process control and medical imaging systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2389ILX-18#PBF datasheet, LTC2389ILX-18#PBF pinout, LTC2389ILX-18#PBF application, or LTC2389ILX-18#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no-missing-codes at 18 bits, ±3LSB INL (max), −116dB THD (fully differential), parallel/serial interface flexibility, and operation across −40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The LTC2389ILX-18#PBF implements a true SAR architecture with no pipeline delay or cycle latency, enabling deterministic timing for real-time control loops. Its internal oscillator eliminates external clock dependency for conversion timing, while MODE0/MODE1 pins configure output bus width (18-/16-/8-bit parallel or serial) and OB/2C+PD/FD pins jointly select input range and data format (offset binary or two's complement).
It integrates a precision internal reference buffer and supports 1.8V–5V I/O voltage (OVDD), allowing direct interfacing with modern low-voltage FPGAs and microcontrollers. The 48-pin LQFP package includes dedicated ground planes and VDD bypassing provisions to maintain 99.8dB SNR performance at 2.5Msps throughput.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit - guarantees no missing codes and full utilization of dynamic range in high-fidelity signal capture. |
| Sampling Rate | 2.5Msps - enables real-time digitization of signals up to ~1.25MHz Nyquist bandwidth without undersampling. |
| SNR (Fully Diff.) | 99.8dB typical at fIN = 2kHz - delivers >16.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) for precision measurement applications. |
| INL (Max) | ±3LSB - ensures monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity critical for closed-loop feedback and calibration. |
| Reference | Internal 4.096V ±20ppm/°C - eliminates external reference component count and drift sensitivity in compact designs. |
| Power Dissipation | 162.5mW at 2.5Msps - balances high-speed performance with thermal manageability in dense PCB layouts. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead 7mm × 7mm plastic LQFP (LX), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad (Pin 49) soldered to ground plane for thermal and noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,17,20,35,41,44,48 + Exposed Pad 49) | Ground Reference | Multiple low-inductance ground connections required to minimize digital switching noise coupling into analog path. |
| VDD (Pins 2,3,19,40,45,46,47) | Analog Core Supply | 4.75V–5.25V supply; each pin requires local 0.1µF + 10µF ceramic decoupling to sustain 99.8dB SNR. |
| IN+, IN− (Pins 42,43) | Differential Analog Input | Accepts ±4.096V, 0–4.096V, or ±2.048V ranges based on OB/2C and PD/FD states; CMRR ≥70dB. |
| REFOUT, REFIN, REFSENSE (Pins 47,46,39) | Reference Interface | REFOUT provides buffered 4.096V reference; REFIN accepts internal or external reference; REFSENSE enables Kelvin sensing. |
| CNVST (Pin 38) | Conversion Start | Edge-triggered sampling command; tCNVSTL ≥20ns low time ensures reliable acquisition initiation. |
| BUSY (Pin 37) | Conversion Status | Active-high open-drain output indicating conversion in progress; tBUSYLH ≤13ns enables tight timing synchronization. |
| MODE0/MODE1 (Pins 4,5) | Interface Configuration | Selects 18-bit/16-bit/8-bit parallel or serial output mode; unused data lines go Hi-Z to reduce bus contention. |
| OB/2C & PD/FD (Pins 6,30) | Input Range & Format Control | Jointly configure analog input range and output coding (offset binary or two's complement) without external logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Zero-cycle latency enables immediate use of conversion result in time-critical control algorithms. |
| Pin-configurable input range | Single device replaces multiple ADC variants-eliminates BOM proliferation for multi-signal-chain systems. |
| Internal reference buffer | Drives external circuitry (e.g., driver op-amps) without gain/phase error; avoids need for discrete buffer IC. |
| Nap/sleep power-down modes | Reduces current to ≤250µA during idle periods-critical for battery-backed or energy-constrained DAQ modules. |
| 1.8V–5V I/O compatibility | Direct interface with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V logic families-no level shifters required in mixed-voltage systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, high-resolution SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7986BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 2.5Msps, but uses external reference only; no internal REFOUT/REFIN; 48-lead LFCSP package. | Requires external 4.096V reference and buffer; less suitable for space-constrained or reference-integration-sensitive designs. | Choose when reference flexibility or lower thermal resistance (θJA = 26°C/W) outweighs integration benefits. |
| ADS8860IPWR | 16-bit, 1Msps, internal reference (2.5V), SPI-only interface, 16-pin WQFN; lower resolution and speed. | Insufficient for 18-bit fidelity or 2.5Msps throughput; limited to mid-speed portable instrumentation. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, lower-performance applications where 16-bit resolution and 1Msps suffice. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LTC2389ILX-18#PBF?
The LTC2389ILX-18#PBF is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, as confirmed by its "I" grade designation and Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This extends beyond commercial-grade variants (0°C to 70°C) and supports deployment in industrial enclosures and outdoor instrumentation without forced cooling.
Does the LTC2389ILX-18#PBF require an external reference?
No-the LTC2389ILX-18#PBF includes a precision internal 4.096V reference with ±20ppm/°C max temperature coefficient and integrated reference buffer. External reference is optional via the REFIN pin, but not required for full specification compliance.
How does the MODE0/MODE1 configuration affect the LTC2389ILX-18#PBF's output interface?
MODE0/MODE1 selects between four interface modes: 00 = 18-bit parallel, 01 = 16-bit parallel, 10 = 8-bit parallel with address inputs, and 11 = serial (SPI-compatible). Unused data pins enter Hi-Z state, preventing bus contention in multiplexed or shared-data-bus architectures.
What is the significance of the OB/2C and PD/FD pins on the LTC2389ILX-18#PBF?
OB/2C and PD/FD jointly configure both analog input range (±4.096V, 0–4.096V, or ±2.048V) and output data format (offset binary or two's complement). This dual-role control eliminates external logic or software mapping, simplifying firmware and reducing PCB routing complexity.
Can the LTC2389ILX-18#PBF operate with a 1.8V I/O supply?
Yes-the LTC2389ILX-18#PBF supports OVDD from 1.71V to 5.25V, enabling direct connection to 1.8V FPGA I/O banks or microcontroller GPIOs without level translation. Digital timing parameters (e.g., tSCK, tDSI) remain valid across this full OVDD range.
