DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
TheLTC®2338-18isalownoise,highspeed18-bitsucces-
siveapproximationregister(SAR)ADCwithfullydifferential
inputs.Operatingfromasingle5Vsupply,theLTC2338-18
has a 10.24V true bipolar input range, making it ideal for
high voltage applications which require a wide dynamic
range. The LTC2338-18 achieves 4LSB INL maximum,
no missing codes at 18-bits with 100dB SNR.

The LTC2338-18 has an onboard single-shot capable
reference buffer and low drift (20ppm/°C max) 2.048V
temperature compensated reference. The LTC2338-18
also has a high speed SPI-compatible serial interface that
supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V logic while also featur-
ing a daisy-chain mode. The fast 1Msps throughput with
no cycle latency makes the LTC2338-18 ideally suited
for a wide variety of high speed applications. An internal
oscillator sets the conversion time, easing external timing
considerations. The LTC2338-18 dissipates only 50mW
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 LTC2338-18 to 300μW for further
power savings during inactive periods.
