Product details
Overview
LTC2142IUP-14#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit, dual-channel, simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-frequency communications signal digitization. It delivers 73.2dB SNR and 90dB SFDR at 65Msps, operates from a single 1.8V supply, supports CMOS/DDR CMOS/DDR LVDS outputs, and features 750MHz full-power bandwidth - enabling direct IF sampling in cellular base stations and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2142IUP-14#PBF datasheet, LTC2142IUP-14#PBF pinout, LTC2142IUP-14#PBF application, or LTC2142IUP-14#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed power and timing specs, real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The LTC2142IUP-14#PBF implements a dual 14-bit SAR-based ADC core with independent sample-and-hold circuits per channel, enabling true simultaneous sampling critical for phase-coherent I/Q demodulation. Its ultralow 0.08psRMS aperture jitter supports undersampling of RF/IF signals up to 140MHz while maintaining 73.2dB SNR.
Digital interface flexibility includes full-rate CMOS, DDR CMOS, or DDR LVDS output modes, with separate OVDD supply (1.1–1.9V) allowing output swing scaling. Configuration is handled via SPI port (CS/SCK/SDI/SDO) or parallel mode (PAR/SER-selectable), supporting clock duty cycle stabilization and optional data randomization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with no missing codes over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and full dynamic range utilization in precision measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 65Msps maximum - enables real-time digitization of wideband IF signals up to 32.5MHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR / SFDR | 73.2dB SNR and 90dB SFDR at 70MHz input - ensures high-fidelity signal capture for demanding comms standards like LTE and 5G NR. |
| Power Consumption | 95mW total at 65Msps (48mW per channel) - supports portable and thermally constrained SDR platforms. |
| Input Bandwidth | 750MHz full-power bandwidth - allows direct sampling of VHF/UHF bands without external amplification or filtering. |
| Analog Supply | Single 1.8V (±0.1V) VDD - simplifies power architecture and reduces BOM count versus multi-rail ADCs. |

Pinout & Package
64-pin (9mm × 9mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 65 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (1, 16, 17, 64) | Analog power supply | 1.7–1.9V supply for ADC core and reference; requires local 0.1μF ceramic bypass per group. |
| AIN1+/AIN1– (4, 5) | Channel 1 differential analog input | Accepts 1–2VP-P differential signal; common-mode biased by VCM1 (Pin 2). |
| ENC+/ENC– (18, 19) | Differential encode clock input | Starts conversion on rising/falling edge; supports single-ended (ENC– = GND) or differential drive (LVDS/PECL/TTL). |
| PAR/SER (11) | Programming mode select | Ground = serial SPI mode; VDD = parallel control mode - determines function of CS/SCK/SDI/SDO pins. |
| D1_0–D1_13 / D2_0–D2_13 (25–32, 45–58, 38–33, 50–49) | Parallel digital data outputs | 14-bit per channel; pin mapping varies by output mode (CMOS/LVDS); DDR LVDS uses paired ± pins (e.g., D1_0+, D1_0–). |
| OVDD (42) | Digital output supply | 1.1–1.9V supply for output drivers; sets CMOS swing (1.2–1.8V) or enables LVDS termination (100Ω on-chip). |
| SENSE (63) | Reference configuration | Connect to VDD → ±1V input range; connect to GND → ±0.5V range; external reference 0.625–1.3V supported. |
| VREF (62) | Internal reference output | 1.25V ±25mV buffered reference; requires 2.2μF ceramic bypass for stability in precision applications. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, 14-bit, high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9246BCPZ-65 | 65Msps, 14-bit, single-channel; requires external clock distribution and synchronization circuitry for dual-channel use. | Lacks native simultaneous sampling - unsuitable for phase-critical I/Q or beamforming where channel matching is essential. | Select only if system already implements precise clock skew management and channel alignment in FPGA logic. |
| LTC2262IUH-14#PBF | 65Msps, 14-bit, dual-channel with identical QFN-64 package and SPI interface, but lower SNR (70.2dB) and higher power (125mW). | Same pinout and register map; drop-in replacement possible but trades 3dB SNR for higher dynamic range headroom in some front-ends. | Prefer when legacy layout reuse is mandatory and 3dB SNR margin is acceptable for target application SNR budget. |
Compared with AD9246BCPZ-65 and LTC2262IUH-14#PBF, the LTC2142IUP-14#PBF uniquely integrates simultaneous sampling, 0.08psRMS jitter, and configurable DDR LVDS outputs in a single 64-pin QFN - eliminating external synchronization components and reducing system-level noise floor by 3dB.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC2142IUP-14#PBF?
The LTC2142IUP-14#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 65Msps, as specified in its part number suffix "-65" and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Dynamic Accuracy sections of the official datasheet. This rate applies to both channels simultaneously, with guaranteed AC performance including 73.2dB SNR and 90dB SFDR at 70MHz input frequency.
Does the LTC2142IUP-14#PBF support differential analog input?
Yes, the LTC2142IUP-14#PBF supports fully 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 at VDD/2, and achieves 80dB common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) across its operating bandwidth.
Can the LTC2142IUP-14#PBF operate with a 1.2V digital output supply?
Yes, the LTC2142IUP-14#PBF supports OVDD from 1.1V to 1.9V, including 1.2V. When OVDD = 1.2V in CMOS output mode, the VOH is guaranteed at 1.185V and VOL at 0.010V (IO = ±500μA), enabling direct interfacing with 1.2V FPGA I/O banks without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the LTC2142IUP-14#PBF?
The SENSE pin on the LTC2142IUP-14#PBF configures the internal reference and input range: connecting SENSE to VDD selects ±1V input range with internal 1.25V reference; connecting to GND selects ±0.5V range. An external reference between 0.625V and 1.3V can also be applied to SENSE for custom scaling, with corresponding full-scale adjustment.
How does the LTC2142IUP-14#PBF handle power management in low-duty-cycle systems?
The LTC2142IUP-14#PBF provides two low-power states: Nap mode consumes 10mW and retains register settings, while Sleep mode draws just 1mW and requires SPI reinitialization on wake-up. Both modes are controlled via the serial interface, enabling rapid entry/exit during burst-mode acquisition in portable test equipment and battery-powered SDR platforms.
