Overview
The LTC2372-18, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a high-performance, low noise, and high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This 18-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC operates from a single 5V supply and features an 8-channel input multiplexer. It supports fully differential, pseudo-differential unipolar, and pseudo-differential bipolar analog input ranges, making it highly versatile for various applications. The LTC2372-18 is known for its excellent linearity, with ±2.75LSB INL (maximum) and no missing codes at 18 bits, along with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 100dB (fully differential) and 95dB (pseudo-differential).
