The LTC®2337-18 is a low noise, high speed 18-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with fully differential
inputs. Operating from a single 5V supply, the LTC2337-18
has a ±10.24V true bipolar input range, making it ideal for
high voltage applications which require a wide dynamic
range. The LTC2337-18 achieves ±4LSB INL maximum,
no missing codes at 18-bits with 100dB SNR.
The LTC2337-18 has an onboard single-shot capable
reference buffer and low drift (20ppm/°C max) 2.048V
temperature compensated reference. The LTC2337-18
also 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 500ksps throughput with
no cycle latency makes the LTC2337-18 ideally suited
for a wide variety of high speed applications. An internal
oscillator sets the conversion time, easing external timing
considerations. The LTC2337-18 dissipates only 35mW
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 LTC2337-18 to 300μW for further
power savings during inactive periods.

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 affect 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 VDD or
OVDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle
input currents up to 100mA below ground or above VDD or OVDD without
latch-up.
Note 4: VDD = 5V, OVDD = 2.5V, ±10.24V Range, REFIN = 2.048V,
fSMPL = 500kHz.
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: Bipolar zero error is the offset voltage measured from –0.5LSB
200
ms
when the output code flickers between 00 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 11
1111 1111 1111 1111. Full-scale bipolar error is the worst-case of –FS
or +FS untrimmed deviation from ideal first and last code transitions and
includes the effect of offset error.
Note 8: All specifications in dB are referred to a full-scale ±20.48V input
with REFIN = 2.048V.
Note 9: When REFBUF is overdriven, the internal reference buffer must be
turned off by setting REFIN = 0V.
Note 10: fSMPL = 500kHz, IREFBUF varies proportionally with sample rate.
Note 11: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 12: Parameter tested and guaranteed at OVDD = 1.71V, OVDD = 2.5V
and OVDD = 5.25V.
Note 13: tSCK of 10ns maximum allows a shift clock frequency up to
100MHz for rising edge capture.
Note 14: Temperature coefficient is calculated by dividing the maximum
change in output voltage by the specified temperature range.

Pin Functions
VDDLBYP (Pin 1): 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.
VDD (Pin 2): 5V Power Supply. The range of VDD is 4.75V to
5.25V. Bypass VDD to GND with a 10µF ceramic capacitor.
GND (Pins 3, 6 and 16): Ground.
IN+, IN– (Pins 4, 5): Positive and Negative Differential
Analog Inputs. Typical input range ±10.24V.
REFBUF (Pin 7): 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 500kΩ can be placed on the
reference buffer output.
REFIN (Pin 8): Reference Output/Reference Buffer Input.
An onboard bandgap reference nominally outputs 2.048V
at this pin. Bypass this pin with a 100nF 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 9): Convert Input. A rising edge on this input
powers up the part and initiates a new conversion. Logic
levels are determined by OVDD.
8
CHAIN (Pin 10): Chain Mode Selector Pin. When low,
the LTC2337-18 operates in normal mode and the
RDL/SDI input pin functions to enable or disable SDO.
When high, the LTC2337-18 operates in chain mode and the
RDL/SDI pin functions as SDI, the daisy-chain serial data
input. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
BUSY (Pin 11): 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.
RDL/SDI (Pin 12): When CHAIN is low, the part is in normal mode and the pin is treated as a bus enabling input.
When CHAIN is high, the part is in chain mode and the
pin is treated as a serial data input pin where data from
another ADC in the daisy chain is input. Logic levels are
determined by OVDD.
SCK (Pin 13): Serial Data Clock Input. When SDO is enabled,
the conversion result or daisy-chain data from another
ADC is shifted out on the rising edges of this clock MSB
first. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
SDO (Pin 14): Serial Data Output. The conversion result or
daisy-chain data is output on this pin on each rising edge
of SCK MSB first. The output data is in 2’s complement
format. Logic levels are determined by OVDD.
OVDD (Pin 15): 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.

LTC2337-18
Applications Information
The LTC2337-18 is a low noise, high speed 18-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with fully differential
inputs. Operating from a single 5V supply, the LTC2337-18
has a ±10.24V true bipolar input range, making it ideal for
high voltage applications which require a wide dynamic
range. The LTC2337-18 achieves ±4LSB INL maximum,
no missing codes at 18-bits and 100dB SNR.
The LTC2337-18 has an onboard single-shot capable reference
buffer and low drift (20ppm/°C max) 2.048V temperaturecompensated reference. The LTC2337-18 also 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 500ksps throughput with no cycle latency
makes the LTC2337-18 ideally suited for a wide variety
of high speed applications. An internal oscillator sets the
conversion time, easing external timing considerations. The
LTC2337-18 dissipates only 35mW 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 LTC2337-18
to 300μW for further power savings during inactive periods.
Converter Operation
The LTC2337-18 operates in two phases. During the
acquisition phase, the charge redistribution capacitor
D/A converter (CDAC) is connected to the outputs of
the resistor divider networks that pins IN+ and IN– drive
to sample an attenuated and level-shifted version of the
differential analog input voltage as shown in Figure 3. A
rising edge on the CNV pin initiates a conversion. During the conversion phase, the 18-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/262144) using the differential comparator. At
the end of conversion, the CDAC output approximates the
sampled analog input. The ADC control logic then prepares
the 18-bit digital output code for serial transfer.
with REFBUF = 4.096V. The ideal transfer function is shown
in Figure 2. The output data is in 2’s complement format.
Analog Input
The analog inputs of the LTC2337-18 are fully differential
to maximize the signal swing that can be digitized. The
analog inputs can be modeled by the equivalent circuit
shown in Figure 3. The back-to-back diodes at the inputs
form clamps that provide ESD protection. Each input
drives a resistor divider network that has a total impedance of 2kΩ. The resistor divider network attenuates and
level shifts the ±2.5 • REFBUF true bipolar signal swing of
each input to the 0-REFBUF input signal swing of the ADC
core. In the acquisition phase, 45pF (CIN) from the sampling CDAC in series with approximately 50Ω (RON) from
the on-resistance of the sampling switch is connected to

Applications Information
the output of the resistor divider network. Any unwanted
signal that is common to both inputs will be reduced by
the common mode rejection of the ADC core and resistor
divider network. The inputs of the ADC core draw a current
spike while charging the CIN capacitors during acquisition.
Input Drive Circuits
A low impedance source can directly drive the high impedance inputs of the LTC2337-18 without gain error. A
high impedance source should be buffered to minimize
settling time during acquisition and to optimize the distortion performance of the ADC. Minimizing settling time
is important even for DC inputs, because the ADC inputs
draw a current spike when entering acquisition.
For best performance, a buffer amplifier should be used to
drive the analog inputs of the LTC2337-18. The amplifier
provides low output impedance to minimize gain error
and allows for fast settling of the analog signal during
the acquisition phase. It also provides isolation between
the signal source and the ADC inputs which draw a small
current spike during acquisition.
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.
Single-Ended-to-Differential Conversion
For single-ended input signals, a single-ended-to-differential conversion circuit must be used to produce a differential
signal at the inputs of the LTC2337-18. The LT1469 high
speed dual operational amplifier is recommended for performing single-ended-to-differential conversions as shown
in Figure 5a. In this case, the first amplifier is configured
as a unity gain buffer and the single-ended input signal
directly drives the high impedance input of this amplifier.
Figure 5b shows the resulting FFT when the LT1469 is used
to drive the LTC2337-18 in this configuration.
LT1469
Input Filtering
The input resistor divider network, sampling switch onresistance (RON) and the sample capacitor (CIN) form a
second lowpass filter that limits the input bandwidth to
the ADC core to 7MHz. A buffer amplifier with a low noise
density must be selected to minimize the degradation of
the SNR over this bandwidth.

The noise and distortion of the buffer amplifier and signal

in Figure 4 is sufficient for many applications.

Applications Information
Fully Differential Inputs
Internal Reference with Internal Buffer
To achieve the full distortion performance of the
LTC2337‑18, a low distortion fully differential signal source
driven through the LT1469 configured as two unity gain
buffers as shown in Figure 6 can be used to get the full
data sheet THD specification of –115dB.
The LTC2337-18 has an on-chip, low noise, low drift
(20ppm/°C max), temperature compensated bandgap
reference that is factory trimmed to 2.048V. It is internally
connected to a reference buffer as shown in Figure 7a and
is available at REFIN (Pin 8). REFIN should be bypassed to
GND with a 100nF ceramic capacitor to minimize noise. The
reference buffer gains the REFIN voltage by 2 to 4.096V at
REFBUF (Pin 7). So the input range is ±10.24V, as shown
in Table 1. Bypass REFBUF to GND with at least a 47μF
ceramic capacitor (X7R, 10V, 1210 size) to compensate
the reference buffer and minimize noise.

External Reference with Internal Buffer
If more accuracy and/or lower drift is desired, REFIN
can be easily overdriven by an external reference since
a 15k resistor is in series with the reference as shown
in Figure 7b. REFIN can be overdriven in the range from
1.25V to 2.4V. The resulting voltage at REFBUF will be
2 • REFIN. So the input range is ±5 • REFIN, as shown
in Table 2. Linear Technology offers a portfolio of high
performance references designed to meet the needs of
many applications. With its small size, low power, and high
accuracy, the LTC6655-2.048 is well suited for use with
the LTC2337-18 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 LTC2337-18 up to
125°C. Bypassing the LTC6655-2.048 with a 2.7μF to 100μF
ceramic capacitor close to the REFIN pin is recommended.

The internal reference buffer can also be overdriven from
2.5V to 5V with an external reference at REFBUF as shown
in Figure 7c. So the input ranges are ±6.25V to ±12.5V,
respectively, as shown in Table 3. 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
102dB can be achieved. Bypassing the LTC6655-5 with
a 47μF ceramic capacitor (X5R, 0805 size) close to the
REFBUF pin is recommended.
The REFBUF pin of the LTC2337-18 draws a charge (QCONV)
from the external bypass capacitor during each conversion
cycle. If the internal reference buffer is overdriven, the
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 8,
IREFBUF quickly goes from approximately 390µA to a maximum of 0.8mA 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.
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 LTC2337-18 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. Figure 9 shows the transient
responses of the LTC2337-18 with the internal reference
buffer and with the internal reference buffer overdriven by
the LTC6655-5, both with a bypass capacitance of 47μF.
Dynamic Performance
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

The signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the A/D output. The output is band limited
to frequencies from above DC and below half the sampling

Power Considerations
The LTC2337-18 provides two power supply pins: the 5V
power supply (VDD), and the digital input/output interface
power supply (OVDD). The flexible OVDD supply allows the
LTC2337-18 to communicate with any digital logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including 2.5V and 3.3V systems.
Power Supply Sequencing
The LTC2337-18 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 LTC2337‑18
has a power-on reset (POR) circuit that will reset the
LTC2337-18 at initial power-up or whenever the power
supply voltage drops below 2V. Once the supply voltage
reenters the nominal supply voltage range, the POR will
re-initialize the ADC. No conversions should be initiated
until 200μs after a POR event to ensure the re-initialization
period has ended. Any conversions initiated before this
time will produce invalid results.

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 LTC2337-18 powers down.

Acquisition
A proprietary sampling architecture allows the LTC2337-18
to begin acquiring the input signal for the next conversion 527ns after the start of the current conversion. This
extends the acquisition time to 1.460µs, easing settling
requirements and allowing the use of extremely low power
ADC drivers. (Refer to the Timing Diagram.)
Internal Conversion Clock
The LTC2337-18 has an internal clock that is trimmed to
achieve a maximum conversion time of 1.5µs.
Auto Nap Mode
The LTC2337-18 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 LTC2337-18
as the sampling frequency is reduced. Since full power is
consumed only during a conversion, the ADC core of the
LTC2337-18 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 11.
Sleep Mode
The auto nap mode feature provides limited power savings
since only the ADC core powers down. To obtain greater power
savings, the LTC2337-18 provides a sleep mode. During sleep
mode, the entire part is powered down except for a small

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 seconds 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 LTC2337-18 has a serial digital interface. The flexible
OVDD supply allows the LTC2337-18 to communicate with
any digital logic operating between 1.8V and 5V, including
2.5V and 3.3V systems.
The serial output data is clocked out on the SDO pin when
an external clock is applied to the SCK pin if SDO is enabled.
Clocking out the data after the conversion will yield the
best performance. With a shift clock frequency of at least
40MHz, a 500ksps throughput is still achieved. The serial
output data changes state on the rising edge of SCK and
can be captured on the falling edge or next rising edge of
SCK. D17 remains valid till the first rising edge of SCK.
The serial interface on the LTC2337-18 is simple and
straightforward to use. The following sections describe the
operation of the LTC2337-18. Several modes are provided
depending on whether a single or multiple ADCs share the
SPI bus or are daisy-chained.

Timing Diagrams
Normal Mode, Single Device
shows a single LTC2337-18 operated in normal mode
with CHAIN and RDL/SDI tied to ground. With RDL/SDI
grounded, SDO is enabled and the MSB(D17) of the new
conversion data is available at the falling edge of BUSY.
This is the simplest way to operate the LTC2337-18.
When CHAIN = 0, the LTC2337-18 operates in normal
mode. In normal mode, RDL/SDI enables or disables the
serial data output pin SDO. If RDL/SDI is high, SDO is in
high impedance. If RDL/SDI is low, SDO is driven. Figure 12

be used to allow only one LTC2337-18 to drive SDO at a
time in order to avoid bus conflicts. As shown in Figure 13,
the RDL/SDI inputs idle high and are individually brought
low to read data out of each device between conversions.
When RDL/SDI is brought low, the MSB of the selected
device is output onto SDO.
Figure 13 shows multiple LTC2337-18 devices operating
in normal mode (CHAIN = 0) sharing CNV, SCK and SDO.
By sharing CNV, SCK and SDO, the number of required
signals to operate multiple ADCs in parallel is reduced.

may limit the number of lines needed to interface to a large
number of converters. Figure 14 shows an example with
two daisy-chained devices. The MSB of converter A will
appear at SDO of converter B after 18 SCK cycles. The
MSB of converter A is clocked in at the SDI/RDL pin of
converter B on the rising edge of the first SCK.
When CHAIN = OVDD, the LTC2337-18 operates in
chain mode. In chain mode, SDO is always enabled and
RDL/SDI serves as the serial data input pin (SDI) where
daisy-chain data output from another ADC can be input.
This is useful for applications where hardware constraints

Board Layout
To obtain the best performance from the LTC2337-18
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 DC1908, the
evaluation kit for the LTC2337-18.
