Product details
Overview
LTC2145CUP-12#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, dual-channel, simultaneously sampling analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-frequency, wide-dynamic-range signal digitization in communications systems. It delivers 70.6dB SNR, 89dB SFDR, and ultralow 0.08psRMS aperture jitter at 125Msps sampling rate, operating from a single 1.8V supply with CMOS, DDR CMOS, or DDR LVDS output interfaces. It is deployed in cellular base stations and software-defined radios requiring precise IF undersampling.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2145CUP-12#PBF datasheet, LTC2145CUP-12#PBF pinout, LTC2145CUP-12#PBF application, or LTC2145CUP-12#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous dual-channel sampling integrity, 750MHz full-power bandwidth, selectable 1–2VP-P input range, low-power operation (183mW total), and SPI-configurable clock duty cycle stabilization and data randomization.
Technical Context
The LTC2145CUP-12#PBF integrates two matched 12-bit ADC cores sharing a common sample-and-hold with 750MHz full-power bandwidth and 0.3LSBRMS transition noise. Its differential encode interface accepts PECL, LVDS, TTL, or CMOS clocks, and optional duty cycle stabilizer ensures performance across non-50% clock duty cycles.
Digital outputs support three modes-full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate CMOS, or double-data-rate LVDS-with separate OVDD supply enabling 1.2–1.8V CMOS swing or 3.5mA/1.75mA LVDS current modes. Configuration is performed via a 4-wire SPI port supporting serial or parallel programming modes selected by the PAR/SER pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage in demanding measurement applications. |
| Sampling Rate | 125Msps - enables direct digitization of IF signals up to ~60MHz without aliasing in wideband receivers. |
| SNR / SFDR | 70.6dB / 89dB at 70MHz input - provides high-fidelity signal capture for multi-carrier cellular and radar waveforms. |
| Aperture Jitter | 0.08psRMS (differential encode) - minimizes sampling uncertainty, critical for undersampling >100MHz IFs with low noise floor. |
| Power Consumption | 183mW total at 125Msps (92mW per channel) - enables dense multi-channel data acquisition with thermal manageability. |
| Input Bandwidth | 750MHz full-power - supports wideband analog front-ends without external anti-alias filtering for many IF-sampling architectures. |
| Supply Voltage | Single 1.8V analog (VDD) + independent 1.2–1.8V digital output (OVDD) - simplifies power delivery and enables I/O voltage flexibility. |
Pinout & Package
64-lead (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 performance.
| 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 bypassing. |
| AIN1+/AIN1– (4,5), AIN2+/AIN2– (12,13) | Differential analog inputs | Two fully independent 1–2VP-P input channels with 750MHz bandwidth and >80dB CMRR. |

| PAR/SER (11) | Programming mode select | Hardwired to GND (serial SPI) or VDD (parallel logic control); not driven dynamically. |
| D1_11–D1_0, D2_11–D2_0 (47–48,58–65,27–32) | Digital data outputs | Configurable as CMOS (full/DDR) or DDR LVDS; output format and timing controlled via SPI registers. |
| CS/SCK/SDI/SDO (20–22,61) | SPI configuration interface | 4-wire serial port for real-time register access; SDO is open-drain requiring 2kΩ pull-up if used. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous dual-channel sampling | Guarantees phase-matched acquisition between channels for coherent beamforming and I/Q demodulation. |
| Optional data output randomizer | Reduces deterministic spectral spurs caused by periodic digital switching, improving SFDR in narrowband systems. |
| Configurable clock duty cycle stabilizer | Enables full-speed operation with clock sources having 30–70% duty cycle, relaxing clock generation requirements. |
| Shutdown and Nap modes | Reduces power to 1mW (Sleep) or 16mW (Nap) - preserves state while minimizing idle consumption in burst-mode systems. |
| Selectable input common-mode voltage | VCM1/VCM2 pins provide 0.7–1.25V programmable bias, simplifying interface to AC-coupled or DC-coupled front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9233BCPZ-125 | 12-bit, 125Msps, single-channel; lacks simultaneous dual sampling and internal reference matching. | Requires external synchronization and calibration for dual-path use; higher system-level complexity. | Choose when single-channel density or lower cost outweighs need for intrinsic channel matching. |
| LTC2265IUJ-12#PBF | 12-bit, 105Msps, dual-channel; lower sampling rate and 69.5dB SNR; no DDR LVDS output option. | Less suitable for 125Msps IF sampling in 5G NR or wideband radar; limited output interface flexibility. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth applications where 105Msps suffices and LVDS is unnecessary. |
Compared with AD9233BCPZ-125 and LTC2265IUJ-12#PBF, the LTC2145CUP-12#PBF uniquely combines true simultaneous dual-channel sampling, 125Msps rate, 70.6dB SNR, and configurable DDR LVDS outputs - making it optimal for coherent multi-antenna and wideband undersampling systems where channel matching and jitter performance are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC2145CUP-12#PBF?
The LTC2145CUP-12#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 125Msps, as specified in its part number suffix "-12" 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 70.6dB SNR and 89dB SFDR at 70MHz input frequency under standard conditions (VDD = OVDD = 1.8V, differential encode, 2VP-P input range).
Does the LTC2145CUP-12#PBF include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the LTC2145CUP-12#PBF includes an internal 1.25V reference (VREF) with ±25ppm/°C drift and 1.225–1.275V output tolerance at 0mA load. It also provides internal VCM outputs (VCM1/VCM2) nominally at VDD/2 (±25mV) for analog input biasing. External reference mode is supported via the SENSE pin, accepting 0.625–1.3V with ±3μA leakage.
What digital output interface options does the LTC2145CUP-12#PBF support?
The LTC2145CUP-12#PBF supports three digital output interface configurations: full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate (DDR) CMOS, and DDR LVDS. Output mode is selected via SPI registers or parallel control pins (SCK, CS). CMOS outputs operate with OVDD = 1.2–1.8V; DDR LVDS uses 100Ω on-chip termination and supports 1.75mA or 3.5mA current modes with defined VOD and VOS ranges.
How is channel matching characterized for the LTC2145CUP-12#PBF?
Channel matching for the LTC2145CUP-12#PBF is specified as ±0.2%FS gain matching and ±1.5mV offset matching across temperature. These values are measured between Channel 1 and Channel 2 under identical conditions and ensure minimal amplitude and timing skew in coherent dual-path applications such as I/Q demodulation and phased-array beamforming.
What power-saving modes are available on the LTC2145CUP-12#PBF?
The LTC2145CUP-12#PBF offers two low-power states: Nap mode (16mW total power) and Sleep mode (1mW total power). Both retain register settings and can be exited rapidly via ENC edge or SPI command. Nap mode maintains bias stability for faster wake-up; Sleep mode disables most circuitry except wake-up logic, ideal for extended idle periods in battery-powered or burst-mode systems.
