Product details
Overview
LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF 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, making it suitable for high-dynamic-range data acquisition in medical imaging and industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF pinout, LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF application, or LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, zero-cycle-latency parallel/serial interface, internal oscillator timing, 125°C-rated QFN package, and low 95mW power at full throughput.
Technical Context
The LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a precision internal 4.096V reference (±20ppm/°C max tempco) and fully differential input stage optimized for ±VREF signal swing. Its conversion core uses a 16-bit CDAC and differential comparator to achieve ±2LSB INL and 94dB SNR at fIN = 20kHz.
It supports dual interface modes: parallel (16-bit D[15:0] bus with CS/RD/BUSY control) and serial (SDIN/SDOUT/SCLK with MSB-first timing), both with no pipeline delay. The internal oscillator eliminates external clock dependency, and dedicated CNVST, PD, RESET, and BYTESWAP pins enable precise timing control and data format flexibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - guarantees full 65,536-level quantization without missing codes across temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 250ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 125kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR | 94dB (typ) at fIN = 20kHz - delivers >15.6 effective bits for high-fidelity signal reconstruction. |
| INL | ±2LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity in precision measurement systems. |
| Input Range | ±4.096V differential - matches standard 16-bit full-scale reference, simplifying sensor interface design. |
| Power Dissipation | 95mW at 250ksps - enables high-speed operation in thermally constrained embedded systems. |
| Reference | Integrated 4.096V (±0.5% initial accuracy, ±20ppm/°C max) - eliminates external reference component count and layout complexity. |
Pinout & Package
48-lead 7mm × 7mm plastic QFN package (UK grade, 0°C to 70°C operating range) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 49, GND). All GND pins (1, 5, 7, 20, 35, 41, 44, 48, 49) must connect to a solid ground plane for optimal noise performance and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+, IN– (Pins 43, 42) | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±4.096V differential signal; require matched drive impedance for CMRR >70dB. |
| CNVST (Pin 34) | Conversion start trigger | Falling edge initiates sample-and-hold hold mode and starts conversion; asynchronous to CS/RD. |
| BUSY (Pin 29) | Conversion status indicator | High during conversion; falling edge signals valid data ready for read access. |
| CS, RD (Pins 31, 30) | Parallel interface enable | Both low enable 16-bit D[15:0] output bus; support byte-swapped or native MSB-first ordering. |
| SER/PAR (Pin 4) | Interface mode select | Low = parallel mode (D0–D15 active); high = serial mode (SDIN/SDOUT/SCLK active). |
| REFOUT, REFIN (Pins 37, 38) | Internal reference I/O | Tied together for internal reference use; REFIN accepts external 2.5V–4.096V reference if higher accuracy required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No cycle latency | Immediate data availability after BUSY falls - eliminates pipeline delay for deterministic real-time control loops. |
| Flexible digital interface | Selectable parallel (16-bit bus) or serial (3-wire SPI-compatible) output - reduces PCB routing complexity or saves MCU GPIOs. |
| Configurable data format | OB/2C pin selects offset binary or two's complement; BYTESWAP pin swaps upper/lower bytes - simplifies firmware alignment handling. |
| Low-power operation | 95mW active, 125μW nap mode, 25μA sleep mode - extends battery life in portable instrumentation without sacrificing speed. |
| Robust analog input | ±0.05V absolute input range beyond supplies, 45pF sample-mode capacitance, 7psRMS aperture jitter - enables direct connection to precision op-amp drivers. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF?
The LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (C-grade). Its junction temperature can reach 125°C, enabling reliable use in thermally demanding industrial enclosures. This differs from the I-grade (–40°C to 85°C) and H-grade (–40°C to 125°C) variants, which share identical electrical specifications but wider thermal qualification.
Does the LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF includes an internal oscillator that sets the 250ksps conversion timing, eliminating the need for an external clock. In serial mode, only the SCLK signal (driven by the host) is required for data readout; in parallel mode, no external clock is needed beyond CNVST triggering and BUSY-synchronized RD pulses.
How does the internal reference of the LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF compare to external references?
The LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF internal reference provides 4.096V ±0.5% initial accuracy and ±20ppm/°C max tempco. For applications requiring tighter tolerance, an external reference like the LT1790-4.096 (0.05% initial, ±10ppm/°C) can be connected to REFIN, with REFOUT tied to ground and REFSENSE connected to the external reference's ground.
Can the LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes - the LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF supports 1.8V to 5V I/O voltage (OVP pin), allowing direct connection to 3.3V logic without level shifters. When OVP = 3.3V, VIH = 2.64V min and VOL = 0.2V max ensure robust noise margins. Digital supply DVP remains at 5V, isolating analog and digital power domains.
What is the significance of the "#TRPBF" suffix in LTC2391CUK-16#TRPBF?
The "#TRPBF" suffix indicates a lead-free, tape-and-reel packaged version: "TR" = tape-and-reel, "PBF" = Pb-free (RoHS-compliant). The "UK" denotes the 48-lead 7mm × 7mm QFN package. This variant is optimized for automated SMT assembly and meets environmental compliance requirements for commercial-grade applications.
