Product details
Overview
LTC2140CUP-14#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit, 25Msps dual-channel simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-dynamic-range signal digitization in communications and instrumentation. It delivers 72.7dB SNR, 90dB SFDR, and ultralow 0.10psRMS jitter at 70MHz input, operating from a single 1.8V supply with CMOS/DDR CMOS/DDR LVDS output options in a 64-pin QFN package.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2140CUP-14#PBF datasheet, LTC2140CUP-14#PBF pinout, LTC2140CUP-14#PBF application, or LTC2140CUP-14#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25Msps sampling rate, ±1LSB INL, 750MHz full-power bandwidth, low 50mW total power consumption, and support for differential or single-ended encode inputs with optional duty cycle stabilization.
Technical Context
The LTC2140CUP-14#PBF implements two independent 14-bit ADC cores sharing a common sample-and-hold with 750MHz full-power bandwidth and 0.10psRMS acquisition jitter in differential encode mode. Its architecture supports simultaneous sampling across both channels with ±1.5mV offset matching and ±0.2%FS gain matching to preserve channel coherence in I/Q or multi-channel systems.
Digital interface flexibility includes full-rate CMOS, DDR CMOS, or DDR LVDS outputs with separate OVDD supply (1.1–1.9V), configurable input range (1–2VP-P), and serial SPI configuration. Optional features include data randomizer, clock duty cycle stabilizer, nap mode (10mW), and sleep mode (1mW) - all controllable via PAR/SER-selectable programming modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with no missing codes over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage in precision measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 25Msps - fixed maximum rate for LTC2140 variant; enables baseband and low-IF digitization up to ~12.5MHz Nyquist. |
| SNR @ 70MHz | 72.7dBFS - defines usable dynamic range for 70MHz IF signals in cellular or SDR receivers. |
| SFDR @ 70MHz | 90dBc - limits spurious content in multi-tone environments like LTE or WCDMA base stations. |
| Total Power | 50mW at 25Msps with CMOS outputs - enables portable or thermally constrained medical imaging and test equipment. |
| Input Bandwidth | 750MHz full-power - supports undersampling of RF/IF signals up to 140MHz without amplitude roll-off. |
| Jitter (Differential) | 0.10psRMS - directly determines aperture uncertainty limiting SNR at high input frequencies. |
Pinout & Package
64-pin (9mm × 9mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 65 = GND). Requires soldering exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (1,16,17,64) | Analog supply | 1.7–1.9V analog core supply; bypass each group with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor. |

| PAR/SER (11) | Programming mode select | Ground = serial SPI mode; VDD = parallel logic mode for simplified control. |
| D1_0–D1_13 / D2_0–D2_13 (25–32, 45–58, 38–39, etc.) | Data outputs | Configurable as CMOS (full/DDR) or DDR LVDS; output voltage swing set by OVDD (Pin 42). |
| OVDD (42) | Digital output supply | 1.1–1.9V for CMOS; 1.7–1.9V for LVDS - sets output swing and termination impedance. |
| SENSE (63) | Reference configuration | Connect to VDD for ±1V input range; to GND for ±0.5V; enables external reference (0.625–1.3V). |
| VREF (62) | Internal reference output | 1.25V ±25ppm/°C; requires 2.2μF ceramic bypass for stable ADC reference. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, 14-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9249BCPZ-65 | 14-bit, 65Msps, JESD204B output, higher power (1.2W), wider temp range (–40°C to +85°C) | Targets high-speed backhaul and radar where serialization and higher throughput are required | Select when system demands >25Msps sampling or FPGA with JESD204B interface; not drop-in due to different pinout and protocol. |
| LTC2141CUP-14#PBF | Same family, 40Msps, 67mW total power, identical pinout and feature set | Used where higher sampling rate is needed but 25Msps is insufficient - e.g., wider IF bandwidth in SDR | Drop-in replacement with no PCB change; upgrade path for same footprint when higher speed is validated in design. |
Compared with LTC2141CUP-14#PBF and AD9249BCPZ-65, the LTC2140CUP-14#PBF offers the lowest power (50mW) and tightest thermal envelope for space-constrained portable systems, while retaining full feature parity with other LTC214x-14 variants except sampling rate and associated power scaling.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC2140CUP-14#PBF?
The LTC2140CUP-14#PBF is rated for a maximum sampling rate of 25Msps. This is the fixed speed grade for the LTC2140 variant within the LTC214x-14 family, distinct from the 40Msps LTC2141CUP-14#PBF and 65Msps LTC2142CUP-14#PBF. Operation above 25Msps is not guaranteed and may degrade AC performance metrics such as SNR and SFDR.
Does the LTC2140CUP-14#PBF support external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC2140CUP-14#PBF supports external reference via the SENSE pin (Pin 63). Applying a voltage between 0.625V and 1.3V to SENSE selects external reference mode, enabling custom full-scale ranges. The internal reference remains active unless explicitly disabled, and VREF (Pin 62) continues to output 1.25V regardless of SENSE state.
What output interface options does the LTC2140CUP-14#PBF provide?
The LTC2140CUP-14#PBF supports three digital output modes: full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate (DDR) CMOS, and DDR LVDS. Mode selection is controlled via the PAR/SER pin and internal registers. CMOS outputs use OVDD (Pin 42) for swing control (1.1–1.8V); LVDS mode requires OVDD = 1.7–1.9V and enables on-chip 100Ω termination.
How is simultaneous sampling ensured between the two channels of the LTC2140CUP-14#PBF?
The LTC2140CUP-14#PBF uses a shared sample-and-hold circuit preceding two independent 14-bit ADC cores, ensuring true simultaneous sampling with <1ps inter-channel skew. Gain matching (±0.2%FS) and offset matching (±1.5mV) are factory-characterized and maintained over temperature, enabling coherent I/Q processing without post-acquisition calibration.
What power-saving modes are available on the LTC2140CUP-14#PBF?
The LTC2140CUP-14#PBF provides two low-power states: Nap mode (10mW) and Sleep mode (1mW). Both are entered via SPI register write or parallel control pins (SDI/SDO combination). In Nap mode, the analog core remains biased but clocks are gated; Sleep mode fully powers down the ADC core while retaining register contents for fast wake-up.
