Product details
Overview
LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF from Analog Devices is a 32-bit oversampling successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated configurable digital filter, operating from a single 2.5V supply and delivering ±0.5ppm INL, 145dB dynamic range at 61sps, and dual-output capability (32-bit filtered + 22-bit no-latency composite). It serves precision DC-coupled measurement systems in seismic instrumentation and high-accuracy energy exploration front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF datasheet, LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF pinout, LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF application, or LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 32-bit no-missing-codes operation, pin-strappable down-sampling factors (256–16384), wide 0V to VREF common-mode input range, and simultaneous low-noise filtered and real-time differential+common-mode outputs.
Technical Context
The LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF implements a 32-bit SAR core with charge redistribution DAC, followed by a programmable decimating lowpass digital filter that reduces quantization noise via oversampling and down-sampling. Its dual-output architecture delivers one 32-bit 2's complement code (SDOA) after digital filtering and one 22-bit composite code (14-bit differential + 8-bit common mode, SDOB) with zero-cycle latency per conversion.
Filter configuration is set by SEL0/SEL1 pins, enabling four discrete down-sampling factors (256, 1024, 4096, 16384), directly determining output data rate (3.9ksps to 61sps) and dynamic range (131dB to 145dB). Synchronization across multiple devices is supported via the SYNC pin, and analog input common-mode rejection exceeds 128dB at 200Hz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 32-bit filtered output; 14-bit differential + 8-bit common mode no-latency output - enables ultra-high DC precision while preserving real-time signal integrity. |
| Dynamic Range | 145dB at 61sps (DF=16384) - supports sub-nanovolt-level signal resolution in low-bandwidth geophysical sensing. |
| INL Error | ±0.5ppm typical - ensures <1 LSB error over full scale with 5V reference (LSB = 2.3nV), critical for metrology-grade calibration. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | 0V to VREF (2.5V–5.1V) - eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with bipolar or unipolar sensor outputs. |

| Digital Interface | SPI-compatible serial I/O (1.8V–5V OVDD) with dual independent clock/data paths (SCKA/SDOA and SCKB/SDOB) - allows concurrent readout of filtered and real-time data without bus contention. |
| Package | 24-lead 7mm × 4mm DFN with exposed pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 40°C/W) and stable ground reference for high-SNR analog performance. |
Pinout & Package
24-lead plastic DFN (7mm × 4mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 25 = GND), RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. Pin 25 must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RDLA (1) | Filtered Output Read Enable | Active-low control for SDOA; enables 32-bit filtered data output only when asserted - prevents bus contention in multi-device SPI daisy chains. |
| RDLB (2) | No-Latency Output Read Enable | Active-low control for SDOB; enables 22-bit composite output independently of RDLA - supports asynchronous real-time monitoring alongside precision post-processing. |
| VDD (3) | Analog Core Supply | 2.375V–2.625V regulated 2.5V rail; requires 10µF ceramic bypass to GND - powers SAR core and internal reference buffer with low-noise headroom. |
| IN+ / IN– (5,6) | Differential Analog Inputs | Accept ±VREF full-scale differential swing with 0V–VREF common-mode range; input capacitance = 45pF (sample mode) - simplifies anti-aliasing design for arbitrary input signal classes. |
| REF (8–10) | Reference Voltage Input | 2.5V–5.1V external reference; requires 47µF X7R ceramic decoupling - sets LSB size (e.g., 2.3nV @ 5V) and defines full-scale range for both output modes. |
| SEL0 / SEL1 (11,12) | Down-Sampling Factor Select | Binary-coded pins selecting DF = 256, 1024, 4096, or 16384 - directly configures trade-off between output rate (3.9ksps–61sps) and dynamic range (131dB–145dB). |
| MCLK (13) | Master Clock Input | Rising-edge-triggered conversion start; minimum pulse width = 20ns - initiates acquisition phase and synchronizes internal timing for deterministic latency. |
| SYNC (14) | Multi-Device Synchronization | Edge-triggered global filter reset - aligns phase of digital filters across multiple LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF units for coherent array measurements. |
| DRL (15) | Filtered Data Ready Indicator | Active-low pulse signaling valid 32-bit code in SDOA register - enables precise timing of filtered data capture without polling or fixed delays. |
| SDOA / SCKA (17,18) | Filtered Output Serial Interface | MSB-first 2's complement data stream synchronized to SCKA rising edges - supports up to 100MHz SCKA for fast readout of high-resolution results. |
| SDOB / SCKB (20,19) | No-Latency Output Serial Interface | MSB-first 22-bit composite code (14+8) synchronized to SCKB rising edges - delivers real-time differential and common-mode values at full 1Msps sample rate. |
| BUSY (21) | Conversion Status Flag | High during conversion (578–652ns), low otherwise - provides hardware handshaking for interrupt-driven firmware or FPGA state machines. |
| OVDD (22) | Digital I/O Supply | 1.71V–5.25V logic supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds and powers all digital pins - allows direct interface to 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V host controllers without level shifters. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF?
The LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF is specified for operation from 0°C to 70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics sections of the official datasheet, with all min/typ/max parameters explicitly denoted for full-range operation using the "l" symbol.
Does the LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF support true bipolar input signals?
Yes, the LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF supports true bipolar inputs through its fully differential architecture: the IN+/IN– pins accept a differential voltage range of –VREF to +VREF while maintaining a common-mode range of 0V to VREF. This allows direct connection of bipolar sensor outputs (e.g., ±2.5V) without external level-shifting circuitry.
How does the digital filter in the LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF affect anti-aliasing requirements?
The LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF's configurable digital lowpass filter relaxes analog anti-aliasing requirements by providing sharp roll-off beyond the effective Nyquist frequency defined by the selected down-sampling factor. For example, at DF=16384 (61sps output), the digital filter attenuates out-of-band noise above ~30Hz, allowing simpler RC filters instead of high-order active designs.
Can the LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF provide both filtered and unfiltered outputs simultaneously?
Yes - the LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF delivers two independent outputs: a 32-bit digitally filtered low-noise code on SDOA and a 22-bit no-latency composite code (14-bit differential + 8-bit common mode) on SDOB. Both outputs are updated every conversion cycle (1Msps), enabling real-time monitoring and high-precision post-processing from the same sampling event.
What is the significance of the exposed thermal pad (Pin 25) on the LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF package?
The exposed pad (Pin 25) is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane. It provides critical thermal dissipation (θJA = 40°C/W) and a low-inductance ground return path for the analog core, directly contributing to the LTC2508CDKD-32#PBF's 145dB dynamic range and ±0.5ppm INL performance by minimizing ground bounce and thermal gradients.
