Product details
Overview
LTC2141CUP-14#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit, 40Msps dual-channel simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-dynamic-range signal digitization in communications infrastructure. It delivers 72.8dB SNR, 90dB SFDR, and ultralow 0.10psRMS jitter at full speed, operating from a single 1.8V supply with CMOS, DDR CMOS, or DDR LVDS outputs - deployed in cellular base stations and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF datasheet, LTC2141CUP-14#PBF pinout, LTC2141CUP-14#PBF application, or LTC2141CUP-14#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40Msps sampling rate, dual-channel timing matching (±0.2% gain, ±1.5mV offset), 750MHz full-power bandwidth, and support for differential or single-ended encode inputs with optional duty cycle stabilization.
Technical Context
The LTC2141CUP-14#PBF implements two independent 14-bit ADC cores sharing a common sample-and-hold with 750MHz bandwidth and 0.10psRMS acquisition jitter in differential encode mode. Its architecture supports simultaneous sampling with guaranteed <±1LSB INL and <±0.3LSB DNL over temperature, enabling coherent multi-channel IF sampling without inter-channel skew.
Digital interface flexibility includes full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate CMOS, or DDR LVDS output modes - with separate OVDD supply (1.1V–1.9V) allowing output swing scaling. Configuration is handled via SPI port (CS/SCK/SDI/SDO) or parallel logic mode using PAR/SER pin selection, supporting shutdown, nap, and clock randomizer features.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with no missing codes - ensures monotonic transfer function across full operating range. |
| Sampling Rate | 40Msps - fixed maximum rate for LTC2141 variant; enables Nyquist-limited digitization up to 20MHz baseband or undersampling of IF signals. |
| SNR | 72.8dB (typ, 70MHz input, –1dBFS) - defines effective noise floor for high-fidelity signal capture in RF receiver chains. |
| SFDR | 90dB (typ, 2nd/3rd harmonic, 70MHz input) - critical for detecting weak signals adjacent to strong interferers in SDR and base station applications. |
| Power Dissipation | 70.4mW (typ, sine input, CMOS mode) - total IC consumption at 40Msps, enabling thermally constrained portable or dense multi-channel systems. |
| Input Bandwidth | 750MHz full-power - supports wideband analog input signals without amplitude roll-off, essential for broadband communications front-ends. |
| Jitter (tJITTER) | 0.10psRMS (differential encode) - directly limits aperture uncertainty, enabling clean undersampling of >100MHz IF signals. |
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 integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (1,16,17,64) | Analog supply input | 1.7V–1.9V analog power rail; must be bypassed locally with 0.1μF ceramic capacitors per group. |
| AIN1+/AIN1– (4,5) | Channel 1 differential analog input | Accepts 1VP-P to 2VP-P differential signal; common-mode biased by VCM1 (Pin 2). |
| ENC+/ENC– (18,19) | Encode clock inputs | Differential or single-ended (ENC– tied to GND); rising edge on ENC+ initiates conversion. |
| PAR/SER (11) | Programming mode select | Ground = serial SPI mode; VDD = parallel logic mode - determines function of CS/SCK/SDI/SDO pins. |
| D1_0–D1_13 / D2_0–D2_13 (25–32, 45–58, etc.) | Dual-channel digital data outputs | Configurable as CMOS (full/DDR) or DDR LVDS; output voltage swing set by OVDD (Pin 42). |
| OVDD (42) | Digital output supply | 1.1V–1.9V supply for output drivers; sets CMOS swing (1.2V–1.8V) or enables LVDS termination (100Ω internal). |
| SENSE (63) | Reference configuration input | Connect to VDD for ±1V input range/internal reference; connect to GND for ±0.5V range; external reference supported (0.625V–1.3V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous sampling dual ADC | Guaranteed channel-to-channel gain matching (±0.2% FS) and offset matching (±1.5mV) enable coherent beamforming and I/Q demodulation. |
| Ultralow jitter acquisition | 0.10psRMS jitter allows clean undersampling of 140MHz IF signals at 40Msps with minimal SNR degradation. |
| Selectable output interface | Hardware-configurable CMOS/DDR CMOS/DDR LVDS reduces FPGA I/O resource usage and EMI in high-density designs. |
| Integrated reference system | On-chip 1.25V VREF (±25ppm/°C drift) and programmable input range (±0.5V/±1V) simplify analog front-end design and reduce BOM count. |
| Low-power operational modes | Nap mode (10mW) and Sleep mode (1mW) support dynamic power scaling in battery-powered or thermally sensitive applications. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9257BCPZ-40 | 14-bit, 40Msps, single-channel; requires external clock distribution and matching circuitry for dual-channel use. | Lacks native simultaneous sampling; adds layout complexity and timing uncertainty in multi-channel systems. | Choose when only one channel is needed or when external synchronization can be tightly controlled. |
| LTC2140CUP-14#PBF | Same family, 25Msps version; lower power (52.6mW), reduced SFDR (89dB at 70MHz), identical pinout and feature set. | Better suited for cost- and power-sensitive applications where 25Msps bandwidth suffices (e.g., narrowband comms, legacy radar). | Select for lower power and cost where 40Msps sampling is not required; drop-in compatible with same PCB layout. |
Compared with LTC2140CUP-14#PBF, the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF provides +15Msps sampling headroom and +1dB SFDR at 70MHz, while AD9257BCPZ-40 requires external design effort to achieve dual-channel coherence - making LTC2141CUP-14#PBF optimal for integrated, timing-critical dual-path systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF?
The LTC2141CUP-14#PBF is rated for a maximum sampling rate of 40Msps - a fixed specification for this variant within the LTC214x family (LTC2142 = 65Msps, LTC2140 = 25Msps). This rate is guaranteed across the full 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range and supports both CMOS and LVDS output modes without derating.
Does the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF support differential analog inputs?
Yes, the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF fully supports differential analog inputs on both channels (AIN1+/AIN1– and AIN2+/AIN2–), with a selectable input range of 1VP-P to 2VP-P. The device includes dedicated VCM1 and VCM2 pins to bias the common-mode voltage to VDD/2, and achieves 80dB common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) for robust noise immunity.
How does the SENSE pin configure the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF reference?
The SENSE pin on the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF selects the internal reference mode: connecting SENSE to VDD configures a ±1V input range with 1.25V reference; connecting to GND configures a ±0.5V range. An external reference (0.625V–1.3V) may also be applied to SENSE, overriding the internal reference and setting the full-scale range proportionally.
Can the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF operate with a 1.2V OVDD supply?
Yes, the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF supports OVDD from 1.1V to 1.9V in CMOS output modes. At OVDD = 1.2V, the CMOS outputs deliver VOH ≥ 1.185V and VOL ≤ 0.010V under 500μA load - enabling direct interfacing with 1.2V FPGA I/O banks while maintaining noise margin and timing integrity.
What is the purpose of the PAR/SER pin on the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF?
The PAR/SER pin on the LTC2141CUP-14#PBF selects the programming interface mode: grounded for serial SPI control (CS/SCK/SDI/SDO function as standard SPI bus), or tied to VDD for parallel logic mode (CS/SCK/SDI control clock stabilizer, output format, and power modes directly). This pin must be hard-wired - not driven dynamically - to ensure stable configuration.
