Product details
Overview
LTC2391IUK-16#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired 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, supports 1.8V–5V I/O, and delivers no missing codes at 16 bits - ideal for high-dynamic-range data acquisition in industrial instrumentation and medical imaging.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2391IUK-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2391IUK-16#PBF pinout, LTC2391IUK-16#PBF application, or LTC2391IUK-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C, dual parallel/serial interface support, internal oscillator timing, nap/sleep power-down modes, and ±20ppm/°C reference tempco.
Technical Context
The LTC2391IUK-16#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with a precision internal 4.096V reference buffer and differential comparator. Its conversion cycle comprises acquisition (1485ns) followed by 2500ns successive approximation, achieving zero-cycle latency in both serial and parallel modes.
It features dual-domain power supplies: AVP/DVP (4.75–5.25V) for analog/digital core, and OVP (1.8–5V) for I/O interface. The device uses an internal oscillator for timing control, eliminating external clock dependency, and supports offset binary or two's complement output via OB/2C pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - guarantees full 65536-code dynamic range without missing codes. |
| Sampling Rate | 250ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 125kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR | 94dB (typ) at fIN = 20kHz - ensures ≤0.002% RMS noise contribution relative to full-scale signal. |
| INL | ±2LSB (max) - limits integral nonlinearity error to ±0.003% of full scale, critical for precision measurement linearity. |
| Differential Input Range | ±4.096V - supports direct connection to high-voltage sensor outputs or transformer-coupled signals. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±0.5% initial, ±20ppm/°C max - maintains <±0.17% total drift over –40°C to +85°C operating range. |
| Power Dissipation | 95mW at 250ksps - enables thermally constrained designs without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead 7mm × 7mm plastic QFN (exposed pad grounded). All GND pins (1, 5, 7, 20, 35, 41, 44, 48, exposed pad 49) must connect to solid ground plane; AVP (2, 40, 45, 46, 47) and DVP (3, 19) require local 0.1μF + 10μF bypassing; OVP (18) requires 4.7μF ceramic close to pin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (1,5,7,20,35,41,44,48,49) | Ground reference | Multiple low-inductance return paths required; exposed pad (49) must be soldered for thermal and electrical performance. |
| AVP (2,40,45,46,47) | Analog power supply | 4.75–5.25V supply for analog core; decoupling essential to preserve SNR and THD. |
| DVP (3,19) | Digital core power | 4.75–5.25V supply for SAR logic and internal timing; separate from OVP for noise isolation. |
| SER/PAR (4) | Interface mode select | High = serial (SDIN/SDOUT/SCLK); low = 16-bit parallel bus - determines active I/O configuration. |
| OB/2C (6) | Output format control | High = offset binary; low = two's complement - defines MSB polarity for bipolar signal representation. |
| BYTESWAP (8) | Byte ordering control | Low = D15–D0 on pins 28–9; high = upper/lower byte swap - enables compatibility with big-endian processors. |
| IN+, IN– (43,42) | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±4.096V differential swing; common-mode range centered at VREF/2 (2.048V); require matched drive impedance. |
| REFOUT, REFIN (37,38) | Internal reference I/O | Tie together for internal reference use; REFOUT → ground and REFIN → external ref when using LT1790-4.096. |
| CNVST (34) | Conversion start trigger | Falling edge initiates acquisition-to-hold transition and starts conversion - asynchronous to CS/RD. |
| BUSY (29) | Conversion status indicator | High during conversion; falling edge signals data-ready - usable as synchronous read strobe. |
| CS, RD (31,30) | Parallel/serial bus enable | Both low enables output drivers; RD pulse latches parallel data or clocks serial shift register. |
| D0–D15 (9–16,21,22,23,24,25–28) | Data I/O | 16-bit parallel outputs (D0 LSB to D15 MSB) or serial bitstream (MSB-first on SDOUT, pin 23). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Zero-cycle latency enables deterministic real-time control loops without output buffering or FIFO management. |
| Internal oscillator | Eliminates need for external clock source or timing circuitry - simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count. |
| Nap/sleep power-down | Reduces current to 25μA (nap) or 19μA (sleep) - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and intermittent-sampling systems. |
| 1.8V–5V I/O voltage | Enables direct interfacing with modern low-voltage FPGAs, microcontrollers, and ASICs without level-shifting components. |
| Guaranteed 125°C operation | Validated performance up to +125°C ambient - suitable for under-hood automotive or high-temperature industrial environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1MSPS, SPI-only interface, 1.8V supply only, 92.5dB SNR (typ), no internal reference | Higher speed but lacks parallel interface and integrated reference - requires external reference and level-shifting for 5V systems | Select when maximum throughput >250ksps is required and system uses SPI-native controllers. |
| AD7606C-16BSTZ | 16-bit, 1MSPS, 8-channel simultaneous sampling, ±10V input range, internal reference, parallel/SPI | Multi-channel synchronized acquisition vs. single-channel high-SNR focus - larger package (64-LQFP), higher power (120mW) | Select when multi-sensor time-aligned capture is needed, not ultra-low noise per channel. |
Compared with ADS8860IDRCT and AD7606C-16BSTZ, the LTC2391IUK-16#PBF uniquely balances 250ksps throughput, 94dB SNR, integrated 4.096V reference, and dual parallel/serial interface in a compact 7mm × 7mm QFN - making it optimal for space-constrained, single-channel precision acquisition where timing determinism and reference stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2391IUK-16#PBF?
The LTC2391IUK-16#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This grade is explicitly designated by the "I" suffix in the part number and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The device maintains full specification compliance-including ±2LSB INL, 94dB SNR, and 250ksps throughput-across this entire range.
Does the LTC2391IUK-16#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2391IUK-16#PBF does not require an external clock source. It contains an internal oscillator that sets the conversion time (2500ns), enabling fully self-timed operation. External timing signals are unnecessary for basic functionality, though SCLK may be used in serial mode for data readout synchronization.
Can the LTC2391IUK-16#PBF operate with a 3.3V I/O supply?
Yes, the LTC2391IUK-16#PBF supports 1.8V to 5V I/O voltage via the OVP pin (Pin 18). When OVP = 3.3V, all digital outputs (D0–D15, BUSY, RD, etc.) swing between 0V and 3.3V, and digital inputs (CNVST, CS, SER/PAR, etc.) recognize 0.8 × 3.3V = 2.64V as VIH minimum. This allows direct interfacing with 3.3V FPGAs and microcontrollers without level shifters.
How is the internal reference configured on the LTC2391IUK-16#PBF?
To use the internal reference on the LTC2391IUK-16#PBF, connect REFOUT (Pin 37) directly to REFIN (Pin 38), and leave REFSENSE (Pin 39) unconnected (floating). This configures the internal 4.096V reference buffer as the conversion reference. A ≥1μF capacitor should be placed from this node to ground to suppress reference noise and improve SNR performance.
What is the significance of the "#PBF" suffix in LTC2391IUK-16#PBF?
"#PBF" indicates lead-free (Pb-free) finish and RoHS-compliant packaging. It denotes that the LTC2391IUK-16#PBF uses environmentally compliant surface finishes on its 48-lead QFN package and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) requirements. This suffix is standard for Analog Devices' commercial and industrial temperature grade parts shipped in tape-and-reel format.
