LTC2381-16 16-Bit, 250ksps, Low Power SAR ADC with Serial Interface FEATURESDESCRIPTION n 250ksps Throughput Rate The LTC®2381-16 is a low noise, low power, high speed n ±2LSB INL (Max) 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. n Guaranteed 16-Bit No Missing Codes Operating from a 2.5V supply, the LTC2381-16 has a n Low Power: 3.25mW at 250ksps, 13µW at 1ksps ±2.5V fully differential input range. The LTC2381-16 n 92dB SNR (Typ) at fIN = 20kHz consumes only 3.25mW and achieves ±2LSB INL max, n Extended Acquisition Time of 3.25µs Allows Use of no missing codes at 16-bits and 92dB SNR. Lower Power Drivers The LTC2381-16 has a high speed SPI-compatible serial n Guaranteed Operation to 125°C interface that supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V logic n 2.5V Supply while also featuring a daisy-chain mode. The fast 250ksps n Fully Differential Input Range ±2.5V throughput with no cycle latency makes the LTC2381-16 n External 2.5V Reference Input ideally suited for a wide variety of high speed applica tions. n No Pipeline Delay, No Cycle Latency An internal oscillator sets the conversion time, easing exter- n 1.8V to 5V I/O Voltages nal timing considerations. The LTC2381-16 automatically n SPI-Compatible Serial I/O with Daisy-Chain Mode powers down between conversions, lead ing to reduced n Internal Conversion Clock power dissipation that scales with the sampling rate. n 16-Pin MSOP and 4mm × 3mm DFN Packages The LTC2381-16 features a proprietary sampling archi- APPLICATIONS tecture that enables the ADC to begin acquiring the next n sample during the current conversion. The resulting Medical Imaging n extended acquisition time of 3.25µs allows the use of High Speed Data Acquisition n extremely low power ADC drivers.
