Product details
Overview
LTC2122CUK#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, simultaneous-sampling 14-bit analog-to-digital converter with JESD204B serial interface, operating at up to 170Msps. It delivers 70dBFS SNR and 90dBFS SFDR at 70MHz input, features 1.25GHz full-power bandwidth, and uses a single 1.8V analog supply. It is deployed in high-performance communications signal digitization, including cellular base station receivers and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2122CUK#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2122CUK#TRPBF pinout, LTC2122CUK#TRPBF application, or LTC2122CUK#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include JESD204B lane configuration (1-lane shared vs. 2-lane independent), deterministic latency support via SYSREF/SYNC~, clock divide-by-two capability, CML output drive current programmability (10–16mA), and internal/external reference selection via SENSE pin.
Technical Context
The LTC2122CUK#TRPBF integrates two independent 14-bit ADC cores sharing a common DEVCLK input, with configurable clock division (1× or 2×) and optional duty cycle stabilization. Its JESD204B serializer supports Subclass 0, 1, and 2 operation, enabling deterministic latency alignment using SYSREF (Subclass 1) or SYNC~ (Subclass 2).
Each channel features a dedicated CML output pair (CMLOUT_A0±, CMLOUT_B0±) supporting either 3.4Gbps per lane (two-lane mode) or 6.0Gbps on a single lane (one-lane mode). The analog front end includes programmable input range (±0.75V internal or ±0.6×VSENSE external), VCM bias generation, and 75dB common-mode rejection.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pins 1,12,13,23,24,37,38,48) | Analog power supply | 1.8V ±0.1V supply; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypassing; multiple pins reduce IR drop and noise coupling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed dual-channel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9680BCPZ-500 | 14-bit, 500Msps dual ADC; JESD204B Subclass 1 only; 1.35GHz BW; 1.25V supply; higher power (1.6W). | Targeted at wider instantaneous bandwidth (>250MHz) and higher sample rates; requires more aggressive thermal design. | Select when >250MHz real-time bandwidth is required and FPGA has sufficient JESD204B lanes for 500Msps throughput. |
| ADS54J60IRGCT | 16-bit, 500Msps dual ADC; JESD204B Subclass 2; 900MHz BW; 1.9V/1.2V dual supply; 1.8W power. | Higher resolution for dynamic range-critical applications (e.g., radar pulse compression); lacks clock duty cycle stabilizer. | Select when 16-bit ENOB is mandatory and deterministic latency via SYNC~ suffices; avoid if clock source has poor duty cycle. |
Compared with AD9680BCPZ-500 and ADS54J60IRGCT, the LTC2122CUK#TRPBF offers optimal balance of 170Msps performance, 751mW power, integrated clock conditioning, and flexible JESD204B subclass support-making it ideal for cost- and power-sensitive 100–200MHz bandwidth systems where 14-bit resolution is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC2122CUK#TRPBF?
The LTC2122CUK#TRPBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 170Msps per channel. At this rate, it achieves 70dBFS SNR and 90dBFS SFDR at 70MHz input frequency. Operation above 150Msps requires two independent JESD204B lanes (3.4Gbps each); below 150Msps, both channels can share one lane at 6.0Gbps. The device's 1.25GHz full-power bandwidth enables undersampling of RF signals far beyond its Nyquist frequency.
Does the LTC2122CUK#TRPBF support deterministic latency, and how is it configured?
Yes, the LTC2122CUK#TRPBF supports deterministic latency in JESD204B Subclass 1 and Subclass 2 modes. In Subclass 1, a rising edge on SYSREF+ / SYSREF– (Pins 18/19) resets internal dividers and establishes fixed latency. In Subclass 2, a rising edge on SYNC~+ / SYNC~– (Pins 21/22) performs the same function. Latency values are documented: 10.5tS (single-lane) and 13.5tS (dual-lane), where tS is the sampling period. This enables precise time alignment across multiple LTC2122CUK#TRPBF devices in phased-array systems.
How does the SENSE pin affect the LTC2122CUK#TRPBF's input range and reference configuration?
The SENSE pin (Pin 5) selects between internal and external reference modes. When tied to VDD, the LTC2122CUK#TRPBF uses its internal 1.25V reference and provides a ±0.75V differential input range (1.5VP-P). When an external voltage of 1.2–1.3V is applied to SENSE, the device uses that voltage as reference and scales the input range to ±0.6 × VSENSE. This allows matching to external DACs or custom front-end gain stages while maintaining optimal SNR performance.
What are the power supply requirements for the LTC2122CUK#TRPBF's analog and output sections?
The LTC2122CUK#TRPBF requires two separate supplies: VDD (Pins 1,12,13,23,24,37,38,48) at 1.7–1.9V for analog circuitry, and OVDD (Pins 25,26,35,36) at 1.2–1.9V for CML output drivers. Total power dissipation is 751mW at 170Msps with VDD = 1.8V. The device also supports low-power Nap mode (433mW) and Sleep mode (2mW), both accessible via SPI register control without losing configuration state.
Can the LTC2122CUK#TRPBF operate with a single-ended clock input?
No, the LTC2122CUK#TRPBF requires a differential clock input on DEVCLK+ / DEVCLK– (Pins 15/16). It accepts LVDS, PECL, or sine wave inputs with ≥0.2V differential amplitude and common-mode voltage between 1.1V and 1.5V. Single-ended clock sources must be converted to differential using a transformer or dedicated buffer (e.g., ADCLK948) to meet input specifications and maintain <0.15ps RMS aperture jitter performance.
