The LTC®2372-16 is a low noise, high speed, 8-channel
16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. Operating from a single 5V supply, the LTC2372-16 has a highly
configurable, low crosstalk 8-channel input multiplexer,
supporting fully differential, pseudo-differential unipolar
and pseudo-differential bipolar analog input ranges. The
LTC2372-16 achieves ±1LSB INL (maximum) in all input
ranges, no missing codes at 16-bits and 96dB (fully
differential)/93.5dB (pseudo-differential) SNR (typical).
nn
The LTC2372-16 has an onboard low drift (20ppm/°C
max) 2.048V temperature-compensated reference and
a single-shot capable reference buffer. The LTC2372-16
also has a high speed SPI-compatible serial interface that
supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V logic through which a
sequencer with a depth of 16 may be programmed. An
internal oscillator sets the conversion time, easing external
timing considerations. The LTC2372-16 dissipates only
27mW and automatically naps between conversions,
leading to reduced power dissipation that scales with the
sampling rate. A sleep mode is also provided to reduce
the power consumption of the LTC2372-16 to 300μW for
further power savings during inactive periods.

input currents up to 100mA below ground or above VDD or OVDD without
latchup.
Note 4: VDD = 5V, OVDD = 2.5V, fSMPL = 500kHz, REFIN = 2.048V unless
otherwise noted.
Note 5: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 6: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 7: 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 8: Fully differential zero-scale error is the offset voltage measured
from –0.5LSB when the output code flickers between 0111 1111 1111 1111
and 1000 0000 0000 0000 in straight binary format and 0000 0000 0000
0000 and 1111 1111 1111 1111 in two’s complement format. Unipolar
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. Bipolar zero-scale error is the offset voltage measured from
–0.5LSB when the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 0000 and
1111 1111 1111 1111. Fully differential full-scale error is the worst-case
deviation of the first and last code transitions from ideal and includes
the effect of offset error. Unipolar full-scale error is the deviation of the
last code transition from the ideal and includes the effect of offset error.
Bipolar full-scale error is the worst-case deviation of the first and last code
transitions from ideal and includes the effect of offset error.
Note 9: When REFBUF is overdriven, the internal reference buffer must be
turned off by setting REFIN=0V.
Note 10: All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale ±VREFBUF (fully
differential), 0V to VREFBUF (pseudo-differential unipolar), or ±VREFBUF/2
(pseudo-differential bipolar) input.
Note 11: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.
Note 12: fSMPL = 500kHz, IREFBUF varies proportionally with sample rate.
Note 13: Parameter tested and guaranteed at OVDD = 1.71V, OVDD = 2.5V
and OVDD = 5.25V.
Note 14: tSCK of 10ns maximum allows a shift clock frequency up to
100MHz for rising edge capture.

Pin Functions
CH0 to CH7 (Pins 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 31 and 32): Analog
Inputs. CH0 to CH7 can be configured as single-ended
inputs relative to COM, or as pairs of differential input
channels. See the Analog Input Multiplexer section.
Unused analog inputs should be tied to a DC voltage within
the analog input voltage range of (GND – 0.3V) to (VDD +
0.3V) as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings.
MUXOUT+, MUXOUT– (Pin 3, Pin 6): Analog Output Pins
of MUX.
ADCIN+, ADCIN– (Pin 4, Pin 5): Analog Input Pins of
ADC Core.
GND (Pins 11, 14, 15, 17, 23, 26, 27 and Exposed Pad
Pin 33): Ground.
REFBUF (Pin 12): Reference Buffer Output. An onboard
buffer nominally outputs 4.096V to this pin. This pin is
referred to GND and should be decoupled closely to the
pin with a 47μF ceramic capacitor. The internal buffer
driving this pin may be disabled by grounding its input
at REFIN. Once the buffer is disabled, an external reference may overdrive this pin in the range of 2.5V to 5V.
A resistive load greater than 500k can be placed on the
reference buffer output.
REFIN (Pin 13): Reference Output/Reference Buffer Input. An onboard bandgap reference nominally outputs
2.048V at this pin. Bypass this pin with a 0.1μF ceramic
capacitor to GND to limit the reference output noise. If
more accuracy is desired, this pin may be overdriven by
an external reference in the range of 1.25V to 2.4V.
CNV (Pin 16): Convert Input. A rising edge on this input
powers up the part and initiates a new conversion. Logic
levels are determined by OVDD.
RDL (Pin 18): Read Low Input. When RDL is low, the serial
data I/O bus is enabled. When RDL is high, the serial data
I/O bus becomes Hi-Z. RDL also gates the external shift
clock. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
BUSY (Pin 19): BUSY Indicator. Goes high at the start of
a new conversion and returns low when the conversion
has finished. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
SDI (Pin 20): Serial Data Input. Data provided on this pin
in synchrony with SCK can be used to program the MUX
channel configuration, converter input range and digital
gain compression setting via the sequencer. Input data on
SDI is latched on rising edges of SCK when the serial data
I/O bus is enabled. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
SCK (Pin 21): Serial Data Clock Input. When the serial
data I/O bus is enabled, the conversion result followed
by configuration information is shifted out at SDO on
the rising edges of this clock MSB first. Serial input data
is latched on the rising edges of this clock at SDI. Logic
levels are determined by OVDD.
SDO (Pin 22): Serial Data Output. The conversion result
followed by configuration information is output on this
pin on each rising edge of SCK MSB first when the serial
data I/O bus is enabled. The output data format is determined by the converter operating mode. Logic levels
are determined by OVDD.
RESET (Pin 24): Reset Input. When this pin is brought high,
the LTC2372-16 is reset. If this occurs during a conversion, the conversion is halted and the data bus becomes
Hi-Z. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
OVDD (Pin 25): I/O Interface Digital Power. The range of
OVDD is 1.71V to 5.25V. This supply is nominally set to
the same supply as the host interface (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V,
or 5V). Bypass OVDD to GND with a 0.1μF capacitor.
VDDLBYP (Pin 28): 2.5V Supply Bypass Pin. The voltage on
this pin is generated via an onboard regulator off of VDD.
This pin must be bypassed with a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor
to GND. Applying an external voltage to this pin can cause
damage to the IC or improper operation.
VDD (Pin 29): 5V Power Supply. The range of VDD is 4.75V
to 5.25V. Bypass VDD to GND with a 10µF ceramic capacitor.
COM (Pin 30): Common Input. This is the reference point
for all single-ended inputs. It must be free of noise and
connected to GND for unipolar conversions and REFBUF/2
for bipolar conversions. If unused, this input should be
tied to a DC voltage within the analog input voltage range
of (GND – 0.3V) to (VDD + 0.3V) as specified in Absolute
Maximum Ratings.

TRANSFER FUNCTION
The LTC2372-16 is a low noise, high speed, highly configurable 8-channel 16-bit successive approximation
register (SAR) ADC. The LTC2372-16 features a low
crosstalk 8-channel input multiplexer (MUX) and a high
performance 16-bit accurate ADC core that can be configured to accept fully-differential, pseudo-differential
unipolar and pseudo-differential bipolar input signals. The
input range of the ADC core can be set independently of
the MUX input channel configuration. The outputs of the
MUX and inputs of the ADC core are pinned out, allowing
flexibility in how the MUX is connected to the ADC core.
The MUX may be wired directly to the ADC core or signal
conditioning circuitry may be inserted between the MUX
and ADC core, depending on the application. The LTC237216 also has a selectable digital gain compression (DGC)
feature. The LTC2372-16 has a programmable sequencer
that can be programmed with configuration words
ranging from a depth of one up to a maximum depth of
16 configuration words.
The LTC2372-16 digitizes the full-scale voltage of 2 ×
REFBUF in fully differential mode and REFBUF in pseudodifferential mode into 216 levels. With REFBUF = 4.096V,
the resulting LSB sizes in fully differential and pseudodifferential modes are 125μV and 62.5μV, respectively.
The binary format of the conversion result depends on the
converter input range as described in Table 6. The ideal
two’s complement transfer function is shown in Figure 2,
while the ideal straight binary transfer function is shown in
Figure 3. The ideal straight binary transfer function can be
obtained from the two’s complement transfer function by
inverting the most significant bit (MSB) of each output code.
The LTC2372-16 has an onboard low drift reference and
a single-shot capable reference buffer. The LTC2372-16
also has a high speed SPI-compatible serial interface that
supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V logic. The LTC2372-16
automatically naps between conversions, leading to
reduced power dissipation that scales with the sampling
rate. A sleep mode is also provided for further power
savings during inactive periods.

The LTC2372-16 operates in two phases. During the acquisition phase when MUXOUT+/– is wired to ADCIN+/–,
the charge redistribution capacitor D/A converter (CDAC)
is connected through the MUX to the selected MUX
analog input pins. A rising edge on the CNV pin initiates
a conversion. During the conversion phase, the 16-bit
CDAC is sequenced through a successive approximation
algorithm, effectively comparing the sampled input with
binary-weighted fractions of the reference voltage (e.g.
VREFBUF/2, VREFBUF/4 … VREFBUF/65536) using a differential comparator. At the end of conversion, the CDAC
output approximates the sampled analog input. The ADC
control logic then prepares the 16-bit digital output code
for serial transfer.

ANALOG INPUTS
The LTC2372-16 can be configured to accept one of
three voltage ranges: fully differential (±4.096V), pseudodifferential unipolar (0V to 4.096V), and pseudo-differential
bipolar (±2.048V). In all three ranges, the ADC samples and
digitizes the voltage difference between the two ADC core
analog input pins (ADCIN+ − ADCIN−), and any unwanted
signal that is common to both inputs is reduced by the
common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of the ADC. The
MUX outputs the voltages of the selected MUX analog input
channels to MUXOUT+/–, according to the MUX configuration. MUXOUT+/– may be wired directly to ADCIN+/– or
connected through a buffer. Refer to the Configuring the
LTC2372-16 section for details on how to select the analog
input range and MUX channel configuration.
Independent of the selected range or channel configuration,
the MUX analog inputs can be modeled by the equivalent
circuit shown in Figure 4. CHx and CHy are distinct input
pins selected from the CH0 to CH7 MUX analog inputs,
depending on the MUX configuration. Each pin has ESD
protection diodes. The ADC core analog inputs, ADCIN+/–,
each see a sampling network consisting of approximately
50pF (CIN) from the sampling CDAC in series with 40Ω
(RON) from the on-resistance of the sampling switch.
The MUX is modeled by a 40Ω resistor representing the
MUX switch on-resistance (RSW) and a capacitance to
VDD
During acquisition, each active MUX analog input sees a
cascade of two first order lowpass filters formed by RSW,
CPAR and the ADC sampling network when MUXOUT+/– is
wired directly to ADCIN+/–. If a buffer is inserted between
MUXOUT+/– and ADCIN+/–, then each active MUX analog
input only sees a first order lowpass filter formed by RSW
and CPAR that is loaded with the input impedance of the
buffer.
Both CIN and CPAR draw current spikes while being charged
during acquisition. If MUXOUT+/– is wired directly to
ADCIN+/–, the current spikes from the charging of both
capacitors are drawn from the active MUX analog inputs.
A buffer inserted between MUXOUT+/– and ADCIN+/– will
absorb the current spike from CIN, leaving the current spike
from CPAR to be drawn from the active MUX analog inputs.
During conversion and sleep, the MUX analog inputs and
ADC core analog inputs draw only a small leakage current.

Fully Differential Input Range
INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS
The fully differential input range provides the widest
input signal swing, configuring the ADC to digitize the
differential analog input voltage to the ADC core (ADCIN+ −
ADCIN−) provided through the selected MUX analog inputs
over a span of ±VREFBUF. In this range, the ADCIN+ and
ADCIN− pins should be driven 180 degrees out-of-phase
with respect to each other, centered around a common
mode voltage (ADCIN+ + ADCIN−)/2 that is restricted to
(VREFBUF/2 ± 0.1V). Both the ADCIN+ and ADCIN− pins are
allowed to swing from (GND − 0.1V) to (VREFBUF + 0.1V).
Unwanted signals common to both inputs are reduced
by the CMRR of the ADC. The output data format may be
selected as straight binary or two’s complement.
Whether MUXOUT+/− is wired directly to ADCIN+/− or
through a buffer with high input impedance, the MUX
analog inputs of the LTC2372-16 are high impedance. In
either case, a low impedance source can directly drive the
MUX analog inputs without gain error. A high impedance
source should be buffered in both cases to minimize settling time during acquisition and to optimize ADC linearity.
Pseudo-Differential Unipolar Input Range
In the pseudo-differential unipolar input range, the ADC
digitizes the differential analog input voltage to the ADC
core (ADCIN+ − ADCIN−) provided through the selected
MUX analog inputs over a span of (0V to VREFBUF). In this
range, a single-ended unipolar input signal, driven on the
ADCIN+ pin, is measured with respect to the signal ground
reference level, driven on the ADCIN− pin. The ADCIN+
pin is allowed to swing from (GND − 0.1V) to (VREFBUF +
0.1V), while the ADCIN− pin is restricted to (GND ± 0.1V).
Unwanted signals common to both inputs are reduced by
the CMRR of the ADC. The output data format is straight
binary.
Pseudo-Differential Bipolar Input Range
In the pseudo-differential bipolar input range, the ADC
digitizes the differential analog input voltage to the ADC
core (ADCIN+ − ADCIN−) provided through the selected
MUX analog inputs over a span of (±VREFBUF/2). In this
range, a single-ended bipolar input signal, driven on the
ADCIN+ pin, is measured with respect to the signal midscale reference level, driven on the ADCIN− pin. The ADCIN+
pin is allowed to swing from (GND − 0.1V) to (VREFBUF
+ 0.1V), while the ADCIN− pin is restricted to (VREFBUF/2
± 0.1V). Unwanted signals common to both inputs are
reduced by the CMRR of the ADC. The output data format
is two’s complement.
For best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used
to drive the MUX analog inputs of the LTC2372-16 with
MUXOUT+/− wired directly to ADCIN+/−. The amplifier
provides low output impedance, which produces fast
settling of the analog signal during the acquisition phase.
It also provides isolation between the signal source and
the current spikes drawn by the MUX analog inputs when
entering acquisition.
Noise and Distortion
The noise and distortion of the buffer amplifiers and signal
sources must be considered since they add to the ADC
noise and distortion. Noisy input signals should be filtered
prior to the inputs of the buffers driving the MUX analog
inputs with an appropriate filter to minimize noise. The
simple 1-pole RC lowpass filter (LPF1) shown in Figure 5
is sufficient for many applications.
Buffer amplifiers with low noise density must be selected
to minimize SNR degradation. Coupling filter networks
(LPF2) should be placed between the buffer outputs and
MUX analog inputs to both minimize the noise contribution of the buffers and reduce disturbances reflected into
the buffer from MUX analog input sampling transients.
If a buffer amplifier is used between MUXOUT+/− and
ADCIN+/−, a coupling filter network (LPF3) should be
placed between the buffer output and ADC core analog
inputs to both minimize the noise contribution of the buffer and reduce disturbances reflected into the buffer from
the ADC core analog input sampling transients. Long RC
time constants at the MUX or ADC core analog inputs will
slow down the settling of those inputs. Therefore, LPF2
and LPF3 typically require wider bandwidths than LPF1.

The MUX and ADC core analog inputs may be modeled
as a switched capacitor load on the drive circuit. A drive
circuit may rely partially on attenuating switched-capacitor
current spikes with small filter capacitors CFILT placed
directly at the ADC inputs and partially on the driver amplifier
having sufficient bandwidth to recover from the residual
disturbance. Amplifiers optimized for DC performance may
not have sufficient bandwidth to fully recover at the ADC’s
maximum conversion rate, which can produce nonlinearity
and other errors. Coupling filter circuits may be classified
in three broad categories:

High quality capacitors and resistors should be used in the
RC filters since these components can add distortion. NPO
and silver mica type dielectric capacitors have excellent
linearity. Carbon surface mount resistors can generate
distortion from self heating and from damage that may
occur during soldering. Metal film surface mount resistors
are much less susceptible to both problems.
Input Currents
One of the biggest challenges in coupling an amplifier to
the LTC2372-16 is in dealing with current spikes drawn
by the MUX and ADC core analog inputs at the start of
each acquisition phase. LPF2 and LPF3 are examples of
Fully Settled: This case is characterized by filter time
constants and an overall settling time that are considerably shorter than the sample period. When acquisition
begins, the coupling filter is disturbed. For a typical first
order RC filter, the disturbance will look like an initial step
with an exponential decay. The amplifier will have its own
response to the disturbance, which may include ringing. If
the input settles completely (to within the accuracy of the
LTC2372-16), the disturbance will not contribute any error.

Partially Settled: In this case, the beginning of acquisition
causes a disturbance of the coupling filter, which then
begins to settle out towards the nominal input voltage.
However, acquisition ends (and the conversion begins)
before the input settles to its final value. This generally
produces a gain error, but as long as the settling is linear,
no distortion is produced. The coupling filter’s response
is affected by the amplifier’s output impedance and other
parameters. A linear settling response to fast switchedcapacitor current spikes can NOT always be assumed for
precision, low bandwidth amplifiers. The coupling filter
serves to attenuate the current spikes’ high frequency
energy before it reaches the amplifier.
Fully Averaged: Consider the case where MUXOUT+/– is
directly wired to ADCIN+/–. If the coupling filter’s capacitors (CFILT) at the MUX analog inputs are much larger than
the sum of the ADC’s sample capacitors (50pF) and the
MUX’s output summing node capacitances (20pF), then the
sampling glitch is greatly attenuated. The driving amplifier
effectively only sees the average sampling current, which
is quite small. At 500ksps, the equivalent input resistance
is approximately 28k (as shown in Figure 6), a benign
resistive load for most precision amplifiers. However,
resistive voltage division will occur between the coupling
filter’s DC resistance and MUX’s equivalent (switchedcapacitor) input resistance, thus producing a gain error.

The first form of crosstalk is often referred to as static
crosstalk. In static crosstalk, a signal applied to an OFF
channel, VINTERFERER, couples capacitively into the input
signal path, thus corrupting the input signal of the ON
channel, VSIGNAL. Figure 7 shows an RC model of two MUX
input channels and the associated parasitic capacitances.
Capacitive coupling from an OFF channel into the input
signal path can occur through CSW of an OFF switch to
the MUXOUT+/– output pins or through CPIN to an adjacent input pin or the MUXOUT+/– output pins. Coupling
through CPIN to the MUXOUT+/– pins is the dominant
coupling mechanism that limits the crosstalk to –107dB
with a 100kHz input signal applied to an OFF CH3 or CH4.
These pins sit adjacent to the MUXOUT+ and MUXOUT–
pins, respectively.
The second form of crosstalk is referred to as adjacent
channel crosstalk, which has to do with memory from the
input of one channel affecting the sampled value of another
channel. In this case, CPAR at the output summing nodes
of the MUX, MUXOUT+/–, can act as memory storage
elements if not dealt with properly. The potential crosstalk mechanism here is through charge sharing. CPAR is
charged approximately to the voltage of each channel that
is sampled. If that charge is not cleared when switching
from one channel to the next, then charge sharing between
the charge on the filter capacitor (CFILT) of one channel
will occur with the charge from another channel stored on
CPAR. The unwanted charge from CPAR can take a long time
to settle out depending on the input filter bandwidth. CPAR
is discharged through a low impedance switch to ground
every conversion cycle or when a first new configuration
is programmed to mitigate this effect.

Applications Information
Driving the MUX Analog Inputs
The LTC2372-16 can be programmed to accept fully
differential or pseudo-differential input signals. In most
applications, it is recommended that the LTC2372-16 be
driven using the LT6237 ADC driver configured as two
unity-gain buffers regardless of the input range, as shown
in Figure 8a. The LT6237 combines fast settling and good
DC linearity with a 1.1nV/√Hz input-referred noise den4.096V
sity, enabling it to achieve the full ADC data sheet SNR
and THD specifications for all input ranges, as shown in
the FFT plots in Figures 8b, 8c and 8d. The RC filter time
constant is chosen to allow for sufficient transient settling
of the LTC2372-16 MUX analog inputs during acquisition.
With a maximum supply current of 7.8mA, the LT6237
is a perfect complement to the low power LTC2372-16.

A single-ended input signal may be converted to a fully
differential signal prior to driving the MUX analog inputs
of the LTC2372-16 to take advantage of the higher SNR
of the LTC2372-16 in the fully differential input range.
The LT6350 ADC driver shown in Figure 9a can be used
to convert a 0V to 4.096V input signal to a fully differential
±4.096V output signal. The RC time constant is larger in
this case to limit the high frequency noise contribution
of the LT6350. This topology provides a 2.5dB increase
in SNR over single-ended operation and achieves the full
data sheet SNR performance of the fully differential input
range of 96dB as shown in the FFT plot in Figure 9b. The
maximum supply current of 10.4mA makes the LT6350 a
good companion to the low power LTC2372-16.

Using Digital Gain Compression for Single Supply
Operation
The LTC2372-16 offers a digital gain compression (DGC)
feature which defines the full-scale input swing to be between 10% and 90% of the ±VREFBUF analog input range.
This feature allows the ADC driver to be powered off of a
single positive supply since each input swings between
0.41V and 3.69V with VREFBUF = 4.096V as in Figure 11a.
Needing only a positive supply and ground to power the

237216 F11a
ADC driver results in additional power savings for the
entire system versus conventional systems that have a
negative supply for the ADC driver.
With DGC enabled, the LTC2372-16 can be driven by the
low power LTC6362 differential driver which is powered
from a single 5V supply. Figure 11b shows how to configure
the LTC6362 to accept a ±3.28V true bipolar single-ended
input signal and level shift the signal to the reduced input
range of the LTC2372-16 when digital gain compression
is enabled. Using the LT6236 to buffer the resistor divider
that creates VCM, the entire signal chain solution can be
powered from a single 5V supply, minimizing power
consumption and reducing complexity. The reduced input
signal swing of this single 5V supply solution limits the
achievable SNR to 94dB, as shown in the FFT of Figure 11c.
To enable DGC, set SEL=1 in the configuration word.

The LTC2372-16 has an on-chip, low noise, low drift
(20ppm/°C), temperature compensated bandgap reference that is factory trimmed to 2.048V. It is internally
connected to a reference buffer as shown in Figure 12a
and is available at REFIN (Pin 13). REFIN should be bypassed to GND with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to minimize
noise. The reference buffer gains the REFIN voltage by 2
to 4.096V at REFBUF (Pin 12). Bypass REFBUF to GND
with at least 47μF ceramic capacitor (X7R, 10V, 1210 size)
to compensate the reference buffer and minimize noise.

There are three ways of providing the ADC reference. The
first is to use both the internal reference and reference
buffer. The second is to externally overdrive the internal
reference and use the internal reference buffer. The third
is to disable the internal reference buffer and overdrive
the REFBUF pin from an external source. The following

the LTC2372-16 when overdriving the internal reference.
The LTC6655-2.048 offers 0.025% (max) initial accuracy
and 2ppm/°C (max) temperature coefficient for high precision applications. The LTC6655-2.048 is fully specified
over the H-grade temperature range and complements
the extended temperature range of the LTC2372-16 up to
125°C. Bypassing the LTC6655-2.048 with a 2.7μF to 100μF
ceramic capacitor close to the REFIN pin is recommended.
External Reference Unbuffered
The internal reference buffer can also be overdriven from
2.5V to 5V with an external reference at REFBUF as shown
in Figure 12c. To do so, REFIN must be grounded to disable
the reference buffer. A 13k resistor loads the REFBUF pin
when the reference buffer is disabled. To maximize the input
signal swing and corresponding SNR, the LTC6655-5 is
recommended when overdriving REFBUF. The LTC6655-5
offers the same small size, accuracy, drift and extended
temperature range as the LTC6655-2.048. By using a 5V
reference, an SNR of 97dB can be achieved. Bypassing
the LTC6655-5 with a 47μF ceramic capacitor (X5R, 0805

Internal Reference Buffer Transient Response
For optimum transient performance, the internal reference
buffer should be used. The internal reference buffer uses a
proprietary design that results in an output voltage change
at REFBUF of less than 1LSB when responding to a sudden
burst of conversions. This makes the internal reference
buffer of the LTC2372-16 truly single-shot capable since
the first sample taken after idling will yield the same result as a sample taken after the transient response of the
internal reference buffer has settled. Figures 14a, 14b,
and 14c show the transient responses of the LTC2372-16
with the internal reference buffer and with the internal
reference buffer overdriven by the LTC6655-5, both with
a bypass capacitance of 47μF in fully differential, pseudodifferential unipolar, and pseudo-differential bipolar input
ranges, respectively.

external reference must provide all of this charge with a
DC current equivalent to IREFBUF = QCONV/tCYC. Thus, the
DC current draw of REFBUF depends on the sampling rate
and output code. In applications where a burst of samples
is taken after idling for long periods, as shown in Figure 13,
IREFBUF quickly goes from approximately 380µA to a maximum of 1mA for REFBUF = 5V at 500ksps. This step in DC
current draw triggers a transient response in the external
reference that must be considered since any deviation in
the voltage at REFBUF will affect the accuracy of the output
code. If an external reference is used to overdrive REFBUF,
the fast settling LTC6655-5 reference is recommended.

The REFBUF pin of the LTC2372-16 draws a charge (QCONV)
from the external bypass capacitor during each conversion
cycle. If the internal reference buffer is overdriven, the
Fast fourier transform (FFT) techniques are used to test
the ADC’s frequency response, distortion and noise at the
rated throughput. By applying a low distortion sine wave
and analyzing the digital output using an FFT algorithm,
the ADC’s spectral content can be examined for frequencies outside the fundamental. The LTC2372-16 provides
guaranteed tested limits for both AC distortion and noise
measurements.

power supply (VDD), and the digital input/output interface
power supply (OVDD). The flexible OVDD supply allows
the LTC2372-16 to communicate with any digital logic
operating between 1.8V and 5V, including 2.5V and 3.3V
systems.
extends the acquisition time to 1.460µs, easing settling
requirements and allowing the use of extremely low power
ADC drivers. (Refer to Timing Diagrams)
Internal Conversion Clock
The LTC2372-16 has an internal clock that is trimmed to
achieve a maximum conversion time of 1.5µs.
Power Supply Sequencing
Auto Nap Mode
The LTC2372-16 does not have any specific power supply
sequencing requirements. Care should be taken to adhere
to the maximum voltage relationships described in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section. The LTC2372-16
has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that will reset the
LTC2372-16 at initial power-up or whenever the power
supply voltage drops below 2V. Once the supply voltage
re-enters the nominal supply voltage range, the POR will
reinitialize the ADC. No conversions should be initiated
until 100ms after a POR event to ensure the reinitialization
period has ended. Any conversions initiated before this
time will produce invalid results.
The LTC2372-16 automatically enters nap mode after a
conversion has been completed and completely powers
up once a new conversion is initiated on the rising edge of
CNV. During nap mode, only the ADC core powers down
and all other circuits remain active. During nap, data from
the last conversion can be clocked out. The auto nap mode
feature will reduce the power dissipation of the LTC2372-16
as the sampling frequency is reduced. Since full power is
consumed only during a conversion, the ADC core of the
LTC2372-16 remains powered down for a larger fraction of
the conversion cycle (tCYC) at lower sample rates, thereby
reducing the average power dissipation which scales with
the sampling rate as shown in Figure 16.

CNV Timing
4
The LTC2372-16 conversion is controlled by CNV. A rising edge on CNV will start a conversion and power up
the LTC2372-16. Once a conversion has been initiated,
it cannot be restarted until the conversion is complete.
For optimum performance, CNV should be driven by a
clean low jitter signal. Converter status is indicated by the
BUSY output which remains high while the conversion is
in progress. To ensure that no errors occur in the digitized
results, any additional transitions on CNV should occur
within 40ns from the start of the conversion or after the
conversion has been completed. Once the conversion
has completed, the LTC2372-16 powers down. It is not
necessary to clock out all of the data and configuration
bits before starting a new conversion.
Acquisition
A proprietary sampling architecture allows the LTC2372-16
to begin acquiring the input signal for the next conversion 527ns after the start of the current conversion. This

Sleep Mode
The auto nap mode feature provides limited power savings
since only the ADC core powers down. To obtain greater
power savings, the LTC2372-16 provides a sleep mode.
During sleep mode, the entire part is powered down
except for a small standby current resulting in a power
dissipation of 300μW. To enter sleep mode, toggle CNV

twice with no intervening rising edge on SCK. The part
will enter sleep mode on the falling edge of BUSY from
the last conversion initiated. Once in sleep mode, a rising
edge on SCK will wake the part up. Upon emerging from
sleep mode, wait tWAKE ms before initiating a conversion
to allow the reference and reference buffer to wake-up
and charge the bypass capacitors at REFIN and REFBUF.
(Refer to the Timing Diagrams section for more detailed
timing information about sleep mode.)
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The LTC2372-16 has a serial digital interface. The flexible
OVDD supply allows the LTC2372-16 to communicate with
any digital logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including
2.5V and 3.3V systems.
The serial data I/O bus is enabled when RDL is low. Serial
output data is clocked out on the SDO pin and serial input
configuration data is clocked in at the SDI pin when an
external clock is applied to the SCK pin if the serial data
I/O bus is enabled. Serial output data transitions on rising
edges of SCK and serial input data is latched on rising edges
of SCK. D15 remains valid till the first rising edge of SCK.
After the 16 bits of the conversion result are shifted out, a
start-of-sequence (SOS) bit followed by the 7-bit control
word corresponding to the conversion result is shifted out.
SDO will remain low after 24 SCK rising edges have been
issued. Clocking out the data and configuration information after the conversion will yield the best performance.
Table 5 lists the minimum shift clock frequency needed to
achieve 500ksps throughput when shifting out a different
number of bits.
Table 5. Minimum Shift Clock Frequency vs Number of Bits for
500ksps
Configuring the LTC2372-16
The various modes of operation of the LTC2372-16 are
programmed by seven bits of an 8-bit control word, C[7:0].
The control word is shifted in at SDI on the rising edges
of SCK, MSB first. The control word is defined as follows:

The MSB of the control word, C[7], is used during the
programming of the sequencer and does not control
the operating mode or configuration of the MUX or ADC
(see Programming the Sequencer section). Referring to
Table 6, bits A[3:0] (C[6:3]) control the analog input MUX
channel configuration. Bits R[1:0] (C[2:1]) control the
input range configuration of the ADC and the SEL (C[0])
bit enables/disables the digital gain compression feature
(see Using Digital Gain Compression for Single Supply
Operation section).

Sequencer
The LTC2372-16 features a sequencer that can store up
to 16 7-bit control words in internal memory. The 7-bit
control word is defined in the Configuring the LTC2372-16
section. The sequencer repeatedly cycles through the
control words stored in sequencer memory on successive conversions if no new valid control words are input
to the part in a given transaction. The sequencer memory
is shown in Figure 18a.
An internal memory pointer determines which of the up
to 16 programmed control words is currently controlling
the converter. The pointer is reset to point to the first programmed control word each time the sequencer memory is
programmed. Upon reaching the final programmed control
word stored in memory, the pointer is automatically reset
to the first memory location and the sequence is restarted.
At power-up or after resetting the LTC2372-16, the internal
sequencer memory programming defaults to a depth of 1
with control word C0[6:0] = 0000000 (CH0+/CH1–, unipolar
input range, digital gain compression disabled). Figure
18b shows the sequencer memory programmed with 8
configurations along with the memory pointer location for
conversions run after programming.
Start of Sequence
The start of sequence (SOS) bit is output to SDO on the
17th SCK cycle during all SPI transactions and indicates
whether the configuration for the conversion just performed corresponds to the control word stored in the
first memory location of the sequencer memory. When
SOS=1, the current configuration corresponds to the first
memory location of the sequencer. The SOS bit can be
used to align the conversion data with the corresponding
control word when truncated SPI transactions are used
to maximize throughput. Only one extra bit needs to be
shifted out to maintain alignment of the configuration
with the conversion data. This results in needing 17 SCK
cycles instead of 24, which allows a higher throughput
to be achieved while being able to keep the configuration
information properly aligned with the conversion data.

Programming the Sequencer
Transaction Window
A transaction window opens at power-up, after resetting
the LTC2372-16, and every conversion cycle at the falling
edge of BUSY, allowing the sequencer to be programmed.
Once the transaction window opens, the state machine
controlling the programming of the sequencer memory is
in a reset state, waiting for control words to be shifted in
at SDI. The transaction window closes at the start of the
next conversion when BUSY transitions from low to high,
as shown in Figure 19. Serial input data at SDI is ignored
by the sequencer state machine when BUSY is high.
Input Control Word
The input control word is used to determine whether or
not the sequencer is being programmed. In many cases
the user will simply need to configure the converter once
for their specific application after power-up or resetting
the part, and then drive the SDI pin to GND. This will force
the control word bits to all zeros and the converter will
automatically sequence through the configurations stored
in sequencer memory. The following sections provide
further details on programming the sequencer.
The sequencer memory may be programmed by inputting one or more valid control words at SDI. Each control
word is an 8-bit word as described in the Configuring the
LTC2372-16 section. A valid input control word is one where
C[7] = 1 and the remaining lower 7-bits, C[6:0], have been
shifted in before the transaction window closes as shown in
Figure 20a. When the 1st control word is successfully entered on the 8th rising edge of SCK, the sequencer memory
is cleared, the new configuration, C[6:0], is written into
the first memory location and is applied to the converter.
At this point, a new acquisition window begins since the

new configuration may result in a different channel being
acquired. Additional valid input control words are written
into subsequent memory locations. The sequencer only
stores valid input control words and discards control words
that are partially written or have C[7] = 0. If C[7] = 0 at any
point during sequencer programming, the LTC2372-16
closes the input transaction window until the completion
of the next conversion as shown in Figure 20b. Figure 21
shows a truncated programming transaction where the
first partial input control word is discarded and the second
complete input control word is successfully programmed.
The transaction window also closes after 16 successive
valid input control words have been written, since the
sequencer memory has been filled.

Programming the Sequencer with Two Configurations
ing and after the programming process. The first stored
configuration will instruct the converter to sample a fully
differential signal on the CH7+/CH6– pair with digital gain
compression disabled, and the second stored configuration will instruct the converter to sample a unipolar signal
on the CH3/COM pair with digital gain compression disabled. The converter will then alternate between the two
programmed configurations on successive conversions.
Note that configurations stored in sequencer memory are
retained until the power is cycled, the part is reset, or a
new series of configuration programming words are input.
Figure 22 illustrates the sequencer memory being programmed while reading out a conversion result. C[7] of
the first two input control words is 1, so these control
words are valid and are written to sequencer memory
in succession. C[7] of the third control word is 0, so the
input transaction is terminated at this point. Since there
were only two valid control words entered, the sequencer
memory is programmed with a depth of two. Figure 23

MUX Reset Timing
The MUX turns OFF and begins resetting tCNVMRST ns
after a conversion is initiated by the rising edge of CNV.
After tMRST1 ns, the MUX turns ON to the next channel
programmed in the sequencer.
The parasitic capacitances (CPAR) on the output summing
nodes of the MUX, MUXOUT+/–, are discharged to ground
every conversion cycle and when a first new valid configuration word is programmed into the sequencer. This
is done to avoid crosstalk between input channels due to
charge sharing from CPAR. The bottom most waveform in
Figure 24 represents the voltages of the MUX output nodes.
The MUX is being reset when V(MUXOUT+/–) sits at 0V.
The MUX also turns OFF and resets after tVLDMRST ns when
a first new valid configuration word is programmed into the
sequencer on the 8th rising edge of SCK. This is because
the MUX may need to switch channels based on the newly
input configuration, so memory of the previous channel
needs to be cleared. A new acquisition period begins when
the MUX is reconnected after tMRST2 ns.

be programmed. With the sequencer programming window
NAP
open, a valid input configuration is detected on the 8th
rising edge of SCK. At this point, the MUX turns OFF and
resets and sequencer memory is reset and updated with
the new configuration. The new channel configuration is
applied when the MUX turns ON, marking the beginning
of a new acquisition period.
‘On the Fly’ Device Programming
The sequencer may be programmed with one control
word as shown in Figure 26 every conversion cycle to
achieve complete flexibility in the multiplexer configuration, input range and digital gain compression setting on
each conversion.

avoid bus conflicts. RDL must also be used to selectively
program each ADC through the shared SDI input line. The
RDL inputs idle high and are individually brought low to read
data out of and selectively program each device between
conversions. When RDL is brought low, the MSB(D15)
of the selected device is output onto SDO.
Figure 27 shows the multiple LTC2372-16 devices operating and sharing CNV, SDI, SCK and SDO. By sharing CNV,
SDI, SCK and SDO, the number of signals required to
operate multiple ADCs in parallel is reduced. Since SDO is
shared, the RDL input of each ADC must be used to allow
only one LTC2372-16 to drive SDO at a time in order to

Sleep Mode
The LTC2372-16 automatically naps once a conversion has
completed. Only the ADC core powers down in nap mode.
As a result, the auto nap feature provides limited power
savings. To obtain greater power savings, the LTC2372-16
provides a sleep mode. During sleep mode, the entire part
is powered down except for a small standby current resulting in a 300μW power dissipation. To enter sleep mode,
toggle CNV twice with no intervening rising edge on SCK
as shown in Figure 28. The part will enter sleep mode on

the falling edge of BUSY from the last conversion initiated. Once in sleep mode, a rising edge on SCK will wake
the part up. Upon emerging from sleep mode, wait tWAKE
ms before initiating a conversion to allow the reference
and reference buffer to wake-up and charge the bypass
capacitors at REFIN and REFBUF. The serial data I/O bus
is enabled or disabled by RDL during sleep mode. Sleep
mode does not affect the state of the sequencer memory
or memory pointer.

RESET Timing
When the RESET pin is high, the LTC2372-16 is reset and
the serial I/O data bus is put into a high impedance mode,
as shown in Figure 29. The serial data output register and
sequencer memory are also cleared and set to their default
states. If this occurs during a conversion, the conversion
is immediately halted. During reset, requests for new
conversions are ignored. Once RESET returns low, the
LTC2372-16 is ready to start a new conversion after the
acquisition time has been met.

Board Layout
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2372-16
a printed circuit board is recommended. Layout for the
printed circuit board (PCB) should ensure the digital and
analog signal lines are separated as much as possible.
In particular, care should be taken not to run any digital
clocks or signals alongside analog signals or underneath
the ADC.
Recommended Layout
The following is an example of a recommended PCB layout.
A single solid ground plane is used. Bypass capacitors to
the supplies are placed as close as possible to the supply
pins. Low impedance common returns for these bypass
capacitors are essential to the low noise operation of the
ADC. The analog input traces are screened by ground.
For more details and information refer to DC2071, the
evaluation kit for the LTC2372-16.
