Product details
Overview
LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, 14-bit, 210Msps analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-frequency undersampling in communications infrastructure. It delivers 70dB SNR, 90dB SFDR, and 1.25GHz full-power bandwidth with DDR LVDS outputs, operating from a single 1.8V supply and supporting sleep/nap modes. It serves as the digitization front-end in cellular basestations and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF pinout, LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF application, or LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±0.85LSB INL over temperature, 616mW total power at 210Msps, 64-pin QFN package thermal performance, and SPI-configurable clock duty cycle stabilization for jitter-sensitive sampling.
Technical Context
The LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF employs a pipelined ADC architecture with integrated sample-and-hold and correction logic to achieve low latency (6 clock cycles) and high dynamic accuracy. Its input stage supports differential 1.5VP-P signaling with programmable common-mode bias via VCM output and external reference selection through SENSE pin.
Digital interface uses double-data-rate LVDS outputs with configurable 1.75mA or 3.5mA current per pair and on-chip 100Ω termination. Clocking accepts differential ENC+/ENC– inputs with optional duty-cycle stabilization, enabling robust operation across wide input duty cycle ranges without external conditioning.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9680BCPZ-500 | 250Msps dual 14-bit ADC with JESD204B interface; higher power (1.5W), wider bandwidth (1.5GHz), no internal reference | Requires external serializer and clock management IC; suited for high-channel-count systems with FPGA JESD204B receivers | Select when system-level data transport demands serial lane efficiency over parallel LVDS simplicity |
| LTC2165IUP-14#TRPBF | Single-channel 14-bit 130Msps ADC in same QFN package; lower power (320mW), reduced SFDR (86dB), no duty cycle stabilizer | Used where channel count or sampling rate is halved; lacks dual-sampling synchronization and advanced clock conditioning | Select for cost-optimized, lower-throughput designs where dual-channel simultaneity is not required |
Compared with AD9680BCPZ-500, LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF offers simpler board-level integration via LVDS and built-in reference, while LTC2165IUP-14#TRPBF trades performance for power and cost in non-simultaneous applications-neither is pin-compatible, but all three serve distinct points in the high-speed ADC design space.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF?
The LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF is specified for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "I" grade in the part number. This range is validated across all key AC and DC performance parameters including SNR, SFDR, INL, and power consumption, making it suitable for outdoor basestation and ruggedized test equipment environments.
Does the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF support external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF supports external reference via the SENSE pin: applying 1.2V to 1.3V to SENSE selects an external reference mode with input range = ±0.6 × VSENSE. When SENSE is tied to VDD, the internal 1.25V reference activates, setting a ±0.75V input range. Both configurations maintain full 14-bit linearity and dynamic performance.
How is the DDR LVDS output current configured on the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF?
The DDR LVDS output current on the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF is configured via the SDI pin in parallel programming mode (PAR/SER = VDD): SDI = high selects 3.5mA mode; SDI = low selects 1.75mA mode. In serial mode, this setting is controlled through the SPI interface register. Output voltage swing scales accordingly (247–454mV differential) while maintaining LVDS compliance.
What is the latency of the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF and how is it measured?
The LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF has a fixed pipeline latency of six clock cycles, measured from the rising edge of ENC+ to valid data appearing on the DDR LVDS outputs. This latency is deterministic and temperature-stable, enabling precise timing alignment in multi-ADC systems and simplifying FPGA-based data capture logic design for the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF.
Can the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF operate with a single-ended clock input?
No-the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF requires differential clocking on ENC+/ENC– for specified AC performance. While the datasheet notes TTL/CMOS compatibility, those inputs must still be applied differentially (e.g., CMOS driver with complementary outputs). Single-ended clock injection degrades jitter performance and violates the minimum differential input voltage (0.2V) requirement, directly impacting SNR and SFDR of the LTC2156IUP-14#TRPBF.
