2.5V Supply
The LTC2378-16 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 1Msps
throughput with no cycle latency makes the LTC2378-16
ideally suited for a wide variety of high speed applications.

nal timing considerations. The LTC2378-16 automatically
powers down between conversions, leading to reduced
power dissipation that scales with the sampling rate.
