DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
2368-16 is a low noise, low power, high speed
16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC.
Operating from a 2.5V supply, the LTC2368-16 has a 0V
to V
REF
pseudo-differential unipolar input range with V
REF
ranging from 2.5V to 5.1V. The LTC2368-16 consumes
only 13.5mW and achieves ±0.75LSB INL maximum, no
missing codes at 16 bits with 94.7dB SNR.
The LTC2368-16 has a high speed SPI-compatible serial
interface that supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V logic
while also featuring a daisy-chain mode. The fast 2Msps
throughput with no cycle latency makes the LTC2368-16
ideally suited for a wide variety of high speed applications.
An internal oscillator sets the conversion time, easing exter-
nal timing considerations. The LTC2368-16 automatically
powers down between conversions, leading to reduced
power dissipation that scales with the sampling rate.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may effect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All voltage values are with respect to ground.
Note 3:
When these pin voltages are taken below ground or above REF or
OV
DD
, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle
input currents up to 100mA below ground or above REF or OV
DD
without
latch-up.

Note 5:
Recommended operating conditions.
Note 6:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 7:
Zero-scale error is the offset voltage measured from 0.5LSB
when the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 0000 and
0000 0000 0000 0001. Full-scale error is the deviation of the last code
transition from ideal and includes the effect of offset error.
Note 8:
All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale 5V input with a
5V reference voltage.
Note 9:
f
SMPL
= 1MHz, I
REF
varies proportionately with sample rate.
