Linear Technology Corp. recently introduced the LTC2320-16 16-bit, 1.5-Msps per channel, no-latency successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. Featuring eight simultaneously sampling channels supporting a rail-to-rail input common mode range, the LTC2320-16 offers a flexible analog front end that accepts fully differential, unipolar or bipolar analog input signals. It also accepts arbitrary input signals and maintains an 82-dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 102 dB when sampling input signals up to the Nyquist frequency. 
The LTC2320-16’s specs, features, and benefits:
- Wide input bandwidth enables the digitization of input signals up to the Nyquist frequency of 750 kHz
- 1.5 Msps per channel throughput rate
- Eight simultaneous sampling channels
- ±2 LSB INL (typ)
- Guaranteed 16-bit, no missing codes
- 8.192 VPP true differential inputs with rail-to-rail common mode
- 82-dB SNR (typ) at fIN = 500 kHz
- –90-dB THD (Typ) at fIN = 500kHz
- Guaranteed operation to 125°C
- Single 3.3- or 5-V supply
- Low drift (20 ppm/°C max) 2.048- or 4.096-V internal reference
- 1.8-to-2.5-V I/O voltages
- CMOS or LVDS SPI-Compatible Serial I/O
- Power dissipation 20 mW/Ch (typ, 5-V operation)
- 52-pin 7 mm × 8 mm QFN package
The LTC2320-16 is available in commercial, industrial, and automotive (–40° to 125°C) temperature grades. Pricing begins at $16.50 each in 1,000-piece quantities. The DC2395A evaluation board for the LTC2320 SAR ADC family is available at www.linear.com/demo.
