Product details
Overview
LTC2392CUK-16#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 500ksps successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with ±4.096V fully differential input range, ±2LSB INL (max), and 94dB SNR (typ) at 20kHz - designed for high-dynamic-range data acquisition in medical imaging and industrial process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2392CUK-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2392CUK-16#PBF pinout, LTC2392CUK-16#PBF application, or LTC2392CUK-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no missing codes at 16 bits, internal 4.096V reference with ±20ppm/°C tempco, dual parallel/serial interface support, and 48-lead 7mm × 7mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC2392CUK-16#PBF implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with internal oscillator-based timing, eliminating external clock dependency. It operates from a single 5V analog supply (AVP = 4.75V to 5.25V) and supports 1.8V–5V I/O voltage (OVP), enabling direct interfacing with modern low-voltage logic.
Its fully differential analog front-end accepts ±VREF input (±4.096V), with common-mode range centered at VREF/2 (2.048V), and features integrated reference buffer, REFSENSE for external reference Kelvin sensing, and dedicated CNVST-triggered sample-and-hold with 685ns acquisition time and 1300ns conversion time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - guarantees full 65,536-level quantization with no missing codes across temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 250kHz Nyquist bandwidth without pipeline latency. |
| SNR | 94dB (typ) at fIN = 20kHz - delivers ≤1.25µVrms noise floor referenced to ±4.096V FSR, critical for precision instrumentation. |
| INL | ±2LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and <0.003% full-scale linearity error for calibration-sensitive applications. |
| Reference | Internal 4.096V ±0.5% initial accuracy, ±20ppm/°C max tempco - eliminates need for external reference in cost-constrained designs. |
| Power Dissipation | 110mW at 500ksps - achieves 220µW per sample efficiency, with nap/sleep modes reducing current to 250µA/22µA. |
| Digital Interface | Configurable parallel (16-bit D[15:0]) or serial (SDOUT/SDIN/SCLK) - supports FPGA or microcontroller integration with BYTESWAP/OB/2C format control. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead 7mm × 7mm plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 49 = GND), rated for 0°C to 70°C operation (C-grade).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,5,7,20,35,41,44,48,49) | Ground reference | All GND pins and exposed pad must connect to solid ground plane for noise immunity and thermal dissipation. |
| 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 to GND. |
| IN+, IN– (Pins 43,42) | Differential analog inputs | Accept ±4.096V differential signal; input impedance ~85kΩ with 45pF capacitance in sample mode. |
| CNVST (Pin 34) | Conversion start trigger | Falling-edge initiated; starts acquisition and conversion independently of CS/RD timing. |
| BUSY (Pin 29) | Conversion status indicator | Active-high pulse indicates conversion in progress; falling edge signals data-ready for read. |
| REFOUT / REFIN (Pins 37,38) | Reference output/input | Internal 4.096V reference enabled by shorting REFOUT to REFIN; REFSENSE left open. |
| SER/PAR (Pin 4) | Interface mode select | Logic low = parallel output on D[15:0]; logic high = serial output on SDOUT with SCLK synchronization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Zero-cycle latency in both parallel and serial modes - enables deterministic real-time control loop response. |
| Internal conversion clock | Oscillator-based timing removes external clock source requirement and simplifies PCB layout. |
| Dual reference support | Seamless switch between internal 4.096V reference and external references (e.g., LT1790-4.096) via REFIN/REFSENSE routing. |
| Flexible data formatting | OB/2C pin selects offset binary or two's complement; BYTESWAP reorders MSB/LSB byte order for processor alignment. |
| Low-power operation | Nap mode reduces supply current to 250µA; sleep mode cuts it to 22µA - extends battery life in portable DAQ systems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7626BCPZ-RL7 | 16-bit, 10Msps SAR ADC with 2.5V internal reference; requires external VREF for ±4.096V range; higher power (45mW @ 10Msps vs 110mW @ 500ksps). | Targeted at ultra-high-speed applications (>1Msps); lacks integrated ±4.096V reference buffer and differential input common-mode control. | Select when throughput >1Msps is mandatory and system can accommodate external reference scaling and higher power. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2392CUK-16#PBF?
The LTC2392CUK-16#PBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (C-grade). This is confirmed by the "CUK" suffix in the part number and the Order Information table, which lists LTC2392CUK-16#PBF under the 0°C to 70°C temperature range column with 48-lead QFN packaging.
Does the LTC2392CUK-16#PBF require an external clock source?
No, the LTC2392CUK-16#PBF does not require an external clock source. It contains an internal oscillator that sets the conversion time, as explicitly stated in the datasheet: "An internal oscillator sets the conversion time, easing external timing considerations." This eliminates timing jitter from external sources and simplifies system design.
Can the LTC2392CUK-16#PBF operate with a 3.3V I/O supply?
Yes, the LTC2392CUK-16#PBF supports 1.8V to 5V I/O voltage (OVP), so it can operate with a 3.3V digital interface supply. The datasheet specifies OVP range as 1.71V to 5.25V, and VIH/VIL thresholds scale accordingly - e.g., VIH = 0.8 × OVP = 2.64V min at 3.3V, ensuring compatibility with standard 3.3V CMOS logic.
How is the internal reference configured on the LTC2392CUK-16#PBF?
To enable the internal reference on the LTC2392CUK-16#PBF, tie REFOUT (Pin 37) directly to REFIN (Pin 38). REFSENSE (Pin 39) must be left floating. This configuration connects the internal 4.096V reference to the reference buffer input, and the datasheet confirms this is the only required connection for internal reference operation.
What is the purpose of the BYTESWAP pin on the LTC2392CUK-16#PBF?
The BYTESWAP pin (Pin 8) on the LTC2392CUK-16#PBF controls byte ordering of the 16-bit parallel output. When low, D15–D0 appear on Pins 28–9 (MSB-first); when high, upper and lower bytes are swapped - D7–D0 output on Pins 28–21 and D15–D8 on Pins 16–9 - facilitating alignment with little-endian or big-endian processor data buses without software reordering.
