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 ±V
REF
fully differential input range with V
REF
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 • V
REF
and full-scale code from V
REF
to 0.9 • V
REF
. 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.

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

input currents up to 100mA below ground or above REF or OV
