Product details
Overview
LTC2162IUK#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 65Msps low-power analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-frequency signal digitization in communications infrastructure. It delivers 77dB SNR, 90dB SFDR, and ultralow 0.07psRMS jitter, enabling undersampling of IF signals up to 140MHz with exceptional noise performance. Its single 1.8V supply, 48-lead QFN package, and support for CMOS/DDR-CMOS/DDR-LVDS outputs make it suitable for cellular base stations and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2162IUK#PBF datasheet, LTC2162IUK#PBF pinout, LTC2162IUK#PBF application, or LTC2162IUK#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed ±2LSB INL over –40°C to +85°C, 550MHz full-power bandwidth, configurable input range (1–2VP-P), optional clock duty cycle stabilizer, and SPI-configurable output modes - all critical for precision wideband receiver design.
Technical Context
The LTC2162IUK#PBF employs a high-fidelity sample-and-hold front-end with 550MHz full-power bandwidth and supports differential or single-ended encode inputs (ENC+/ENC–) compatible with PECL, LVDS, TTL, or CMOS clock sources. Its architecture includes an internal reference (1.25V ±2.5%) and external reference option via SENSE pin (0.625–1.3V), with programmable common-mode bias (VCM = VDD/2 ±25mV).
Digital interface flexibility is implemented through PAR/SER pin selection: serial SPI mode enables full configuration (data randomizer, nap/sleep modes, output format), while parallel mode uses CS/SCK/SDI as direct logic controls. Output drivers support three voltage domains - VDD (1.7–1.9V), OVDD (1.1–1.9V), and separate OGND - minimizing digital switching noise coupling into analog sections.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes across –40°C to +85°C - ensures monotonicity and full dynamic range utilization in production environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9268BCPZ-65 | 16-bit, 65Msps; requires 3.3V AVDD + 1.8V DVDD; no integrated clock stabilizer; 75dB SNR at 70MHz. | Higher power (195mW); less suitable for thermally constrained portable designs; lacks duty-cycle stabilization. | Prefer when legacy 3.3V analog supply infrastructure exists and jitter budget allows external clock conditioning. |
| ADS54J60IRGC | 16-bit, 500Msps; JESD204B serial interface; 75dB SNR at 140MHz; 1.8V/1.0V dual supply. | Targeted at higher-bandwidth applications (e.g., radar); requires FPGA with JESD204B PHY; significantly higher system complexity. | Choose only when >100Msps sampling is required and JESD204B ecosystem is already deployed. |
Compared with AD9268BCPZ-65 and ADS54J60IRGC, the LTC2162IUK#PBF offers superior jitter performance (0.07psRMS vs ≥0.15ps), lower power (87mW vs 195mW/1.2W), and integrated clock conditioning - making it optimal for compact, high-SFDR, thermally sensitive wideband receivers.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2162IUK#PBF?
The LTC2162IUK#PBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This extended range is validated across all key AC and DC specifications including SNR, SFDR, INL, and DNL - ensuring consistent performance in outdoor base stations and ruggedized test equipment where ambient temperatures fluctuate widely.
Does the LTC2162IUK#PBF support both differential and single-ended clock inputs?
Yes, the LTC2162IUK#PBF supports both configurations: ENC+ and ENC– can be driven differentially (e.g., LVDS, PECL) or with ENC– tied to GND for single-ended TTL/CMOS clocks. The datasheet specifies distinct input voltage thresholds and jitter performance (0.07psRMS differential, 0.09psRMS single-ended) for each mode.
How does the clock duty cycle stabilizer function in the LTC2162IUK#PBF?
The clock duty cycle stabilizer in the LTC2162IUK#PBF corrects input clock duty cycles ranging from 30% to 70%, maintaining consistent sampling aperture timing. It is enabled via the CS pin in parallel programming mode and eliminates the need for external clock cleanup circuits - reducing bill-of-materials and layout complexity in SDR and instrumentation designs.
Can the LTC2162IUK#PBF operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC2162IUK#PBF supports external reference operation via the SENSE pin, accepting 0.625V to 1.3V with ±2.5% tolerance. When used, the internal 1.25V reference is disabled, allowing system-level calibration traceability and improved temperature drift performance compared to the internal reference (±30ppm/°C vs ±10ppm/°C).
What are the power supply requirements for the LTC2162IUK#PBF digital outputs?
The LTC2162IUK#PBF requires two independent supplies: VDD (1.7–1.9V) for the analog core and OVDD (1.1–1.9V) for digital outputs. OVDD sets the CMOS output swing (1.2V, 1.5V, or 1.8V) or LVDS current mode (1.75mA or 3.5mA), enabling direct interfacing with diverse FPGA I/O banks without level shifters.
