LTC2376-20
20-Bit, 250ksps, Low Power
SAR ADC with 0.5ppm INL
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®2376-20 is a low noise, low power, high speed
20-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. Op-
erating from a 2.5V supply, the LTC2376-20 has a ±VREF
fully differential input range with VREF ranging from 2.5V
to 5.1V. The LTC2376-20 consumes only 5.3mW and
achieves ±2ppm INL maximum, no missing codes at 20
bits with 104dB SNR.
The LTC2376-20 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 250ksps
throughput with no cycle latency makes the LTC2376-20
ideally suited for a wide variety of high speed applications.
An internal oscillator sets the conversion time, easing exter-
nal timing considerations. The LTC2376-20 automatically
powers down between conversions, leading to reduced
power dissipation that scales with the sampling rate.
The LTC2376-20 features a unique digital gain compres-
sion (DGC) function, which eliminates the driver amplifier’s
negative supply while preserving the full resolution of the
ADC. When enabled, the ADC performs a digital scaling
function that maps zero-scale code from 0V to 0.1 • VREF
and full-scale code from VREF to 0.9 • VREF. For a typical
reference voltage of 5V, the full-scale input range is now
0.5V to 4.5V, which provides adequate headroom for
powering the driving amplifier from a single 5.5V supply.
