Product details
Overview
LTC2391CLX-16#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with ±4.096V fully differential input range, ±2LSB INL (max), 94dB SNR (typ), and integrated 4.096V reference. It operates from a single 5V supply and supports 1.8V–5V I/O, enabling high-dynamic-range data acquisition in medical imaging and industrial process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2391CLX-16#PBF pinout, LTC2391CLX-16#PBF application, or LTC2391CLX-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, no pipeline delay, dual parallel/serial interface support, internal conversion clock, and 0°C to 70°C temperature grade in 48-lead LQFP package.
Technical Context
The LTC2391CLX-16#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with differential sampling switch network and precision comparator. Its internal 4.096V reference features ±20ppm/°C max tempco and 0.5% initial accuracy, and the ADC core achieves 93.5dB SINAD and 104dB SFDR at 20kHz input frequency.
It supports two digital interface modes: 16-bit parallel output (D0–D15) with CS/RD/BUSY handshaking, and serial output via SDOUT/SCLK with MSB-first timing. Conversion is initiated by CNVST falling edge, with 2500ns typical conversion time and no cycle latency in either mode.

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead 7mm × 7mm plastic LQFP (LX package), operating temperature range 0°C to 70°C, exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 5, 7, 20, 35, 41, 44, 48, Exposed Pad 49) | Analog/Digital Ground Reference | All GND pins must connect to solid ground plane; exposed pad is mandatory ground connection for thermal and noise performance |
| AVP (Pins 2, 40, 45, 46, 47) | Analog Power Supply | 4.75V–5.25V supply for analog core; requires local 0.1μF + 10μF ceramic bypassing |
| DVP (Pins 3, 19) | Digital Core Power Supply | 4.75V–5.25V supply for SAR logic and control; separate from AVP for noise isolation |
| IN+, IN– (Pins 42, 43) | Differential Analog Inputs | Accept ±4.096V differential signal; input impedance modeled as 50Ω series + 40pF during acquisition |
| REFOUT, REFIN, REFSENSE (Pins 37, 38, 39) | Reference Interface | Internal 4.096V reference enabled by tying REFOUT to REFIN; REFSENSE left open for internal use |
| CNVST (Pin 34) | Conversion Start Trigger | Falling-edge sensitive; initiates sample-and-hold hold phase and conversion sequence independently of CS |
| BUSY (Pin 29) | Conversion Status Indicator | Active-high pulse indicates conversion in progress; falling edge signals data-ready for read access |
| CS, RD (Pins 31, 30) | Parallel Interface Control | Low-low combination enables 16-bit parallel output bus; RD strobes data valid timing |
| SER/PAR, OB/2C, BYTESWAP (Pins 4, 6, 8) | Interface Configuration | Selects serial vs parallel mode, offset binary vs two's complement output, and byte ordering for 16-bit data |
| D0–D15 (Pins 9–16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25–28) | Digital Output Data Bus | 16-bit parallel outputs (D0 LSB to D15 MSB); in serial mode, D9/SDIN and D10/SDOUT become bidirectional data lines |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1MSPS, SPI-only interface, 1.8V supply, no internal reference | Higher speed but lacks parallel interface and integrated reference; requires external 4.096V reference and level-shifting for 5V systems | Preferred when system demands >250ksps and uses SPI-native processors; not drop-in due to supply and interface mismatch |
| AD7606BSTZ | 16-bit, 200ksps, 8-channel simultaneous sampling, ±10V input range, internal reference | Multi-channel architecture with oversampling capability; larger 64-lead LQFP package and higher 145mW power | Selected for multi-sensor synchronous acquisition where channel count outweighs single-channel speed; pinout and timing incompatible |
Compared with ADS8860IDRCT and AD7606BSTZ, the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF uniquely balances 250ksps throughput, dual parallel/serial interface, integrated 4.096V reference, and 48-lead LQFP footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, single-channel, high-fidelity DAQ designs requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF?
The LTC2391CLX-16#PBF achieves a guaranteed 250ksps (kilo-samples per second) throughput rate across its full 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. This rate is supported in both parallel and serial interface modes with no cycle latency, meaning each CNVST trigger produces one complete 16-bit conversion result within 2500ns, enabling deterministic real-time sampling for time-critical applications.
Does the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF includes a precision internal 4.096V reference with ±0.5% initial accuracy and ±20ppm/°C max temperature coefficient. To use it, simply tie REFOUT to REFIN and leave REFSENSE unconnected. An external reference may be used for higher accuracy, but it is not required for standard operation of the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF.
What package type and lead finish does the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF use?
The LTC2391CLX-16#PBF is supplied in a 48-lead 7mm × 7mm plastic LQFP (LX package) with lead-free (Pb-free) finish, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The exposed pad (Pin 49) must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and optimal electrical performance.
How does the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF handle power management during idle periods?
The LTC2391CLX-16#PBF provides two low-power states: Nap mode (25μA typical supply current) and Sleep mode (19μA typical). These are activated via the PD (Power-Down) pin. In both modes, the internal reference remains active, allowing fast wake-up (<1μs) without reference stabilization delay-critical for burst-mode acquisition in the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF.
Can the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF interface directly with a 3.3V FPGA or microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC2391CLX-16#PBF supports 1.8V to 5V I/O voltage levels via the OVP (Output Voltage Power) supply pin. When OVP is set to 3.3V, all digital outputs (D0–D15, BUSY, RD, etc.) operate at 3.3V logic levels, and inputs (CS, RD, CNVST, etc.) accept 3.3V-compatible thresholds-enabling direct, level-matched connection to 3.3V FPGAs without external translators.
