Product details
Overview
LTC2158CUP-14#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, 14-bit, 310Msps analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-frequency, wide-dynamic-range signal digitization in communications infrastructure. It delivers 68.8dBFS SNR and 88dB SFDR at 70MHz input, operates from a single 1.8V supply, features DDR LVDS outputs, and supports 1.25GHz full-power bandwidth - enabling undersampling of RF signals in cellular basestations and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2158CUP-14#PBF datasheet, LTC2158CUP-14#PBF pinout, LTC2158CUP-14#PBF application, or LTC2158CUP-14#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include simultaneous sampling accuracy, low-latency 6-cycle pipeline, programmable LVDS output current (1.75–4.5mA), clock duty cycle stabilization, and SPI-configurable sleep/nap modes for power-sensitive SDR and test instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The LTC2158CUP-14#PBF implements a pipelined 14-bit ADC architecture with shared sample-and-hold for true simultaneous sampling across two channels. Its 1.25GHz input bandwidth and 0.15psRMS aperture jitter support direct RF sampling up to 900MHz, while internal correction logic ensures ±1.2LSB INL and no missing codes over temperature.
Digital interface uses DDR LVDS with seven 2-bit multiplexed output pairs per channel (DA0_1+/- to DA12_13+/- and DB0_1+/- to DB12_13+/-), plus dedicated OF+/- overflow and CLKOUT+/- clock outputs. Configuration is handled via a 3-wire SPI port supporting register readback, phase-shifted CLKOUT, and programmable LVDS drive strength.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed dual-channel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9680BCPZ-500 | 14-bit, 500Msps, JESD204B serial interface, higher power (1.5W), 0.5mm pitch BGA | Targets JESD204B-based FPGA platforms; lacks LVDS simplicity and lower power | Choose when system-level bandwidth exceeds 310Msps and FPGA supports JESD204B lane aggregation |
| LTC2268IUP-14#PBF | 14-bit, 125Msps, same QFN package, lower power (340mW), no clock duty cycle stabilizer | Designed for lower-sample-rate applications where 310Msps is unnecessary | Choose for cost-optimized, lower-power IF digitization where full 310Msps capability is unused |
Compared with AD9680BCPZ-500 and LTC2268IUP-14#PBF, the LTC2158CUP-14#PBF uniquely balances 310Msps speed, DDR LVDS simplicity, sub-1W power, and clock flexibility - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally sensitive SDR and test equipment where JESD204B complexity is unwarranted.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2158CUP-14#PBF?
The LTC2158CUP-14#PBF is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to 70°C. This grade is specified in the ordering part number ('C' suffix) and validated across the full range for parameters including INL (±1.2LSB typ), SNR (68.8dBFS), and power consumption (724mW typ at 310Msps). The 'I' grade variant (LTC2158IUP-14#PBF) extends to –40°C to 85°C.
Does the LTC2158CUP-14#PBF support single-ended analog inputs?
No, the LTC2158CUP-14#PBF requires fully differential analog input drive on both AINA+/AINA– and AINB+/AINB–. The internal sample-and-hold circuit is designed for differential CMOS signaling with common-mode bias set by the VCM pin (nominally 0.435•VDD). Single-ended drive will cause severe distortion and degraded SFDR; transformer or differential amplifier front-ends are mandatory.
How is the clock duty cycle stabilizer enabled on the LTC2158CUP-14#PBF?
The clock duty cycle stabilizer on the LTC2158CUP-14#PBF is enabled either via SPI register A2 (bit D0 = 1) or by asserting CS high in parallel programming mode (PAR/SER = VDD). Once enabled, it accepts external encode clocks with 30–70% duty cycle and generates an internal 50% clock for optimal ADC performance - eliminating need for external duty cycle correction circuits.
What LVDS termination is required for the LTC2158CUP-14#PBF digital outputs?
The LTC2158CUP-14#PBF requires a 100Ω differential termination resistor for each LVDS output pair (e.g., DA0_1+/DA0_1–, DB12_13+/DB12_13–, CLKOUT+/CLKOUT–). This resistor must be placed as close as possible to the receiving device. An optional internal 100Ω termination can be enabled via SPI register A3, which doubles the output current to maintain voltage swing when active.
Can the LTC2158CUP-14#PBF operate with an external voltage reference?
Yes, the LTC2158CUP-14#PBF supports external reference operation: apply a precise 1.250V ±10mV reference to the SENSE pin (Pin 7) to achieve the same 1.32VP-P input range as with the internal reference. The internal reference (1.250V ±25mV) is enabled by connecting SENSE to VDD. External reference improves gain accuracy and temperature drift performance in metrology-grade applications.
