Product details
Overview
LTC1741CFW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 65 Msps pipelined analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-frequency, wide-dynamic-range signal digitization in communications infrastructure. It delivers 72 dB SNR and 85 dB SFDR at 3.2 V input range, operates on a single 5 V supply, and features ±1 V or ±1.6 V differential input range selection via the SENSE pin. It is deployed in cellular base station receivers and spectrum analyzers requiring undersampling of IF signals up to 70 MHz.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1741CFW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1741CFW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1741CFW#TRPBF application, or LTC1741CFW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include aperture jitter (0.15 psRMS), full-power bandwidth (240 MHz), differential encode interface compatibility (PECL/GTL/TTL), and flow-through TSSOP-48 layout support for high-density RF board design.
Technical Context
The LTC1741CFW#TRPBF implements a four-stage CMOS pipelined ADC architecture with digital error correction logic, achieving 5-cycle data latency and no missing codes across temperature. Its sample-and-hold uses direct capacitor sampling with 4 pF input capacitance in hold mode and supports differential analog inputs referenced to a 2.35 V common-mode voltage (VCM).
Timing is governed by a differential ENC/ENC pair with 15.3 ns minimum period, enabling precise 65 Msps operation; CLKOUT provides synchronized data valid strobe, while MSBINV selects offset binary or 2's complement output format. The digital outputs are powered by a separate OVDD rail (0.5 V to 5 V), allowing direct interfacing with low-voltage DSPs or FIFOs without level-shifting.

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead plastic TSSOP (FW), flow-through pinout optimized for controlled-impedance analog/digital partitioning and minimal trace crosstalk in high-speed PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input | Accept ±1 V or ±1.6 V differential signal; require 2.35 V common-mode bias (VCM) for optimal linearity and harmonic suppression. |
| SENSE (Pin 1) | Input range select | GND = ±1 V range; VDD = ±1.6 V range; intermediate voltages enable custom ranges - sets internal reference scaling directly. |
| VCM (Pin 2) | Common-mode reference output | 2.35 V buffered output; must be bypassed with ≥4.7 µF ceramic capacitor to ground - stabilizes internal bandgap and enables transformer/op-amp driver biasing. |
| ENC, ENC (Pins 23–24) | Differential encode clock input | Edge-triggered conversion start; accepts PECL/GTL/TTL/sinusoidal drive - enables ultra-low-jitter sampling with external low-phase-noise sources. |
| CLKOUT (Pin 26) | Data valid strobe output | Rising edge aligns with stable D0–D11 and OF outputs - eliminates setup/hold timing uncertainty for synchronous capture in FPGA/DSP interfaces. |
| OE (Pin 25) | Output enable | Active-low control of D0–D11 and OF tri-state drivers - allows shared bus operation and reduces dynamic power during idle cycles. |
| OVDD (Pins 32, 43) | Digital output supply | Independent 0.5–5 V rail - permits direct connection to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V logic without level shifters, reducing BOM count and signal integrity risk. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9226ASTZ | 12-bit, 65 Msps, but uses single-ended encode and lacks SENSE-selectable range; SNR = 71 dB (typ), SFDR = 84 dB (typ) at 5 MHz. | Less suitable for undersampling >40 MHz due to higher aperture jitter (0.25 psRMS) and no differential ENC support. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs jitter-critical IF sampling needs and board space allows additional level-shifting circuitry. |
| LTC2248IUP#PBF | 14-bit, 65 Msps, differential ENC, 0.12 psRMS jitter, but requires dual 3.3 V/1.8 V supplies and has 64-lead QFN package. | Better resolution and jitter for metrology-grade applications, but higher power (1.45 W) and no 5 V single-supply option. | Select when 14-bit ENOB and sub-0.13 ps jitter justify added power, layout complexity, and supply sequencing requirements. |
Compared with AD9226ASTZ and LTC2248IUP#PBF, the LTC1741CFW#TRPBF uniquely balances 5 V single-supply simplicity, flow-through TSSOP layout efficiency, and 0.15 psRMS jitter-making it optimal for cost-constrained, space-limited RF receiver designs where 12-bit fidelity suffices.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1741CFW#TRPBF?
The LTC1741CFW#TRPBF is specified for commercial operation from 0°C to 70°C (C-grade). This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all AC and DC specifications unless otherwise noted. The 'C' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this temperature grade, distinguishing it from the industrial-grade LTC1741IFW (–40°C to +85°C).
Does the LTC1741CFW#TRPBF support single-ended analog input?
No, the LTC1741CFW#TRPBF requires differential analog input on AIN+ and AIN– pins to achieve specified performance. The datasheet states that differential drive is necessary to maximize input range, improve common-mode noise immunity, and suppress even-order harmonics. Single-ended input degrades SNR, SFDR, and INL beyond guaranteed limits and is not supported by the internal architecture.
How is the input range selected on the LTC1741CFW#TRPBF?
The LTC1741CFW#TRPBF input range is selected via the SENSE pin (Pin 1): grounding SENSE configures ±1 V differential range; connecting SENSE to VDD configures ±1.6 V differential range. Intermediate voltages program proportional ranges (e.g., 1.3 V → ±1.3 V), and external resistors can extend this to custom values - all verified in the Converter Characteristics table and Functional Description.
Can the LTC1741CFW#TRPBF interface directly with a 1.8 V FPGA I/O bank?
Yes, the LTC1741CFW#TRPBF supports direct 1.8 V FPGA interfacing via its independent OVDD supply pins (Pins 32, 43). When OVDD is set to 1.8 V, the D0–D11 and OF outputs meet 1.8 V logic thresholds (VOH ≥ 1.71 V, VOL ≤ 0.1 V at IO = ±200 µA), eliminating level shifters. This capability is explicitly characterized in the Digital Inputs and Outputs section.
What is the purpose of the VCM pin on the LTC1741CFW#TRPBF?
The VCM pin (Pin 2) provides a buffered 2.35 V common-mode reference output required to bias the differential analog input stage. It must be bypassed with ≥4.7 µF ceramic capacitor to ground per the Layout Guidelines. VCM serves both as DC bias for transformer-coupled inputs and as reference for op-amp differential drivers - its stability directly impacts INL and harmonic distortion.
