Product details
Overview
LTC1741IFW#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 from 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 LTC1741IFW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1741IFW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1741IFW#TRPBF application, or LTC1741IFW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include aperture jitter (0.15 psRMS), full-power bandwidth (240 MHz), INL (±1 LSB), DNL (±0.8 LSB), and dual-supply digital I/O compatibility (OVDD = 0.5 V to 5 V).
Technical Context
The LTC1741IFW#TRPBF implements a four-stage CMOS pipelined ADC architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, correction logic, and output latches. Its differential ENC/ENC encode interface supports PECL, GTL, TTL, CMOS, or sinusoidal drive, enabling low-jitter sampling critical for IF undersampling applications.
It uses a resistor-programmable internal reference and 2.35 V VCM bias generator to support flexible analog front-end design. The flow-through TSSOP-48 pinout separates analog, digital, and power domains to minimize crosstalk, while separate OVDD and VDD supplies isolate noise-sensitive analog circuitry from digital output drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function across full temperature range. |
| Sample Rate | 65 Msps - enables real-time digitization of wideband IF signals up to 70 MHz using undersampling. |
| SNR / SFDR | 72 dB / 85 dB at 3.2 V range (5 MHz input) - defines usable dynamic range for high-fidelity signal capture in receiver chains. |
| Aperture Jitter | 0.15 psRMS - limits sampling uncertainty-induced noise floor degradation at high input frequencies. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB / ±0.8 LSB - ensures accurate amplitude fidelity and minimal harmonic distortion in measurement systems. |
| Analog Input Range | Selectable ±1 V or ±1.6 V differential - allows optimization for SNR (larger range) or SFDR (smaller range) per application. |
| Full-Power Bandwidth | 240 MHz - supports broadband RF/IF inputs without significant amplitude roll-off before digitization. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.275 W at 65 Msps - requires thermal-aware PCB layout and heatsinking in high-density baseband modules. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC1741IFW#TRPBF is housed in a 48-lead plastic TSSOP (FW package) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and flow-through pin arrangement to simplify high-speed PCB routing and reduce signal crosstalk.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input | Accepts ±1 V or ±1.6 V differential signal; requires 2.35 V common-mode bias (VCM) for optimal linearity. |
| SENSE | Input range select | GND = ±1 V range; VDD = ±1.6 V range; intermediate voltage enables custom scaling. |
| VCM | Common-mode reference output | 2.35 V buffered output; must be bypassed with ≥4.7 µF capacitor to ground for stability and noise rejection. |
| ENC, ENC | Differential encode clock input | Edge-triggered sampling control; accepts PECL, GTL, TTL, CMOS, or sine wave; determines aperture timing accuracy. |
| MSBINV | Output data format control | Low = 2's complement; High = offset binary - selects interface compatibility with DSP/FPGA data paths. |
| OE | Digital output enable | Active-low tri-state control; allows bus sharing in multi-ADC systems without external logic. |
| CLKOUT | Data valid strobe | Rising edge indicates stable D11–D0 and OF outputs; synchronizes latch timing in downstream logic. |
| OF | Over/underflow flag | High indicates input exceeded selected full-scale range - enables real-time clipping detection and AGC feedback. |
| OVDD | Digital output supply | 0.5 V to 5 V programmable - permits direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic families. |
| D0–D11 | Parallel digital output | 12-bit parallel CMOS outputs; timing referenced to CLKOUT rising edge with 4.9 ns typical delay. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential encode interface | Supports ultralow-jitter sampling with sinusoidal, PECL, or CMOS clocks - eliminates need for external clock conditioning in IF sampling designs. |
| Programmable analog input range | Pin-selectable ±1 V or ±1.6 V differential range - enables trade-off between SNR (favoring larger range) and SFDR (favoring smaller range) without hardware change. |
| Separate OVDD supply | 0.5 V to 5 V digital output rail - eliminates level-shifting components when interfacing with low-voltage FPGAs or DSPs. |
| Flow-through TSSOP-48 layout | Signal path routing from left (analog inputs) to right (digital outputs) - minimizes trace length mismatch and reduces board-level EMI coupling. |
| Integrated 2.35 V VCM reference | Stable, low-drift common-mode bias source - simplifies transformer-coupled or op-amp-driven front-end design and improves DC accuracy. |
| 5-cycle pipeline latency | Deterministic 5-clock-cycle delay from ENC edge to valid D11–D0 output - enables precise timing alignment in synchronous digital signal processing chains. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1741IFW#TRPBF?
The LTC1741IFW#TRPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade). This is confirmed by the "I" suffix in the part number and specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The device maintains full AC and DC performance specifications across this entire range, including ±1 LSB INL and 72 dB SNR at 25°C and end-of-range conditions.
Does the LTC1741IFW#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC1741IFW#TRPBF includes an internal 2.35 V bandgap reference and difference amplifier to generate its own REFHA/REFHB and REFLA/REFLB reference levels. An external reference is optional and only needed if custom scaling beyond ±1 V or ±1.6 V is required via the SENSE pin with resistor dividers.
How is the input range selected on the LTC1741IFW#TRPBF?
The LTC1741IFW#TRPBF input range is selected via the SENSE pin (Pin 1): grounding SENSE configures ±1 V differential input range; connecting SENSE to VDD configures ±1.6 V differential input range. Intermediate voltages enable programmable scaling, and the datasheet confirms this behavior is guaranteed by design.
What digital logic families are compatible with the LTC1741IFW#TRPBF outputs?
The LTC1741IFW#TRPBF digital outputs support 0.5 V to 5 V OVDD, making them directly compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V CMOS/TTL logic families. Output voltage levels meet VOH ≥ 4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IO = ±200 µA/1.6 mA, ensuring robust interfacing with FPGAs, DSPs, and ASICs without level shifters.
Can the LTC1741IFW#TRPBF be used with single-ended encode signals?
Yes - the LTC1741IFW#TRPBF ENC and ENC pins accept single-ended TTL or CMOS signals. When using single-ended drive, the ENC pin is driven actively while ENC is bypassed to ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor, as explicitly shown in the Functional Block Diagram and Pin Functions section of the datasheet.
