Product details
Overview
LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, 14-bit, 170Msps analog-to-digital converter optimized for undersampling wideband RF signals in communications infrastructure. It delivers 70dB SNR and 90dB SFDR at 15MHz input, operates from a single 1.8V supply, features DDR LVDS outputs, and supports 1.25GHz full-power bandwidth with 6-cycle pipeline latency.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF pinout, LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF application, or LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and timing behavior across –40°C to +85°C, and real-world substitution guidance for high-speed data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF implements a pipelined ADC architecture with integrated sample-and-hold (S/H) front-end and correction logic. Its 1.25GHz analog input bandwidth enables direct RF sampling of cellular and SDR bands without external IF stages. The on-chip clock duty cycle stabilizer maintains performance across variable input clock duty cycles.
Dual-channel simultaneous sampling is achieved via matched internal clock distribution and independent analog paths. DDR LVDS output drivers support programmable 1.75mA or 3.5mA current per pair, with optional 100Ω on-chip termination and configurable CLKOUT phase delay relative to data edges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with no missing codes over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage in demanding measurement applications. |
| Sampling Rate | 170Msps maximum - defines real-time bandwidth capture capability for LTE, WiMAX, and radar IF digitization. |
| SNR @ 15MHz | 70dBFS typical - enables high-fidelity signal reconstruction with <0.3% RMS noise contribution at baseband. |
| SFDR @ 15MHz | 90dBFS typical - suppresses harmonics and spurs sufficiently for multi-carrier cellular basestation receiver compliance. |
| Full-Power BW | 1250MHz - allows undersampling of L-band and S-band RF signals without external filtering degradation. |
| Power Dissipation | 567mW total at 170Msps (1.75mA LVDS mode) - reduces thermal load in dense FPGA-ADC interface designs. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.85LSB / ±0.25LSB typical - ensures accurate amplitude linearity for medical imaging and test equipment calibration. |
Pinout & Package
64-lead (9mm × 9mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 65 = GND), requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin pitch: 0.5mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pins 1,2,15,16,17,64) | Analog power supply | 1.8V ±0.1V supply for ADC core; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass per group to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| AINA+/AINA– (Pins 4/5) | Differential analog input A | Accepts 1.5VP-P differential signal with common-mode bias set by VCM; supports DC-coupled or AC-coupled RF inputs. |
| ENC+/ENC– (Pins 19/20) | Differential encode clock input | Edge-triggered sampling control; accepts sine, PECL, LVDS, TTL, or CMOS; duty cycle stabilizer improves jitter tolerance. |
| DA0_1+ / DA0_1– (Pins 42/43) | Channel A DDR LVDS data pair | Carries multiplexed DA0 (even) and DA1 (odd) bits synchronized to CLKOUT+ falling/rising edges; 100Ω on-chip termination optional. |
| CLKOUT+/CLKOUT– (Pins 40/41) | Data output clock | DDR-aligned clock output; phase delay programmable via SPI to compensate for board trace skew in high-speed routing. |
| PAR/SER (Pin 63) | Programming mode select | Ground = serial SPI mode (CS/SCK/SDI/SDO active); VDD = parallel mode (CS/SCK/SDI become discrete control inputs). |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF?
The LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "I" grade suffix. This range is validated across all key specifications including SNR, SFDR, INL, and power consumption, making it suitable for outdoor basestation and ruggedized test equipment deployments.
Does the LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF support external voltage reference?
Yes, the LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF supports external reference via the SENSE pin. Applying 1.2V to 1.3V to SENSE configures the input range to ±0.6 × VSENSE (e.g., ±0.72V for 1.2V reference), while connecting SENSE to VDD selects the internal 1.25V reference and ±0.75V range. Both configurations maintain full 14-bit performance.
How many LVDS data pairs does the LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF provide?
The LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF provides 14 LVDS data pairs: 7 for Channel A (DA0_1 through DA12_13) and 7 for Channel B (DB0_1 through DB12_13), each carrying two multiplexed bits per DDR cycle. Additionally, OF+/OF– provides overflow/underflow status, and CLKOUT+/CLKOUT– supplies the DDR-aligned clock.
Can the LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF be used in pin-compatible designs with the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF?
Yes, the LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF is fully pin-compatible with the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF and LTC2157IUP-14#TRPBF. All share identical 64-pin QFN packaging, pin functions, power sequencing, and register map - enabling drop-in replacement for speed binning or qualification flexibility without PCB redesign.
What is the minimum required bypass capacitance for VDD pins on the LTC2155IUP-14#TRPBF?
Each VDD pin group (Pins 1/2/64 and Pins 15/16/17) requires a minimum 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the pins. Additional bulk capacitance (e.g., 4.7µF tantalum or polymer) is recommended on the 1.8V rail upstream to stabilize supply during high-frequency switching transients.
