Product details
Overview
LTC2180CUP#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 25Msps dual-channel simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-dynamic-range signal digitization in communications and instrumentation. It delivers 77dB SNR, 90dB SFDR, and ultralow 0.07psRMS jitter at 25Msps, operating from a single 1.8V supply with CMOS/DDR CMOS/DDR LVDS output options. It is used in portable medical imaging and multi-channel data acquisition systems requiring precise phase-matched sampling.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2180CUP#PBF datasheet, LTC2180CUP#PBF pinout, LTC2180CUP#PBF application, or LTC2180CUP#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25Msps sampling rate, dual-channel simultaneity, 77dB SNR at 70MHz input, 1.8V single-supply operation, and QFN-64 package compatibility with high-density RF/data acquisition layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2180CUP#PBF implements two independent 16-bit SAR ADC cores with shared clocking and synchronized sample-and-hold circuits, enabling true simultaneous sampling across channels. Its 550MHz full-power bandwidth S/H supports undersampling of IF signals up to 140MHz while maintaining 77dB SNR performance.
Digital interface flexibility includes selectable full-rate CMOS, DDR CMOS, or DDR LVDS outputs with separate OVDD supply (1.2V–1.8V), and an SPI port for configuration of features including clock duty cycle stabilizer, data randomizer, and shutdown modes - all configurable without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit, no missing codes over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage in precision measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 25Msps - fixed maximum rate for LTC2180 variant; enables real-time capture of baseband and low-IF signals. |
| SNR | 77dB at 70MHz input, –1dBFS - defines usable dynamic range for high-fidelity signal reconstruction. |
| SFDR | 90dB at 70MHz input - determines spurious-free resolution for spectral purity-critical applications like SDR. |
| Power Dissipation | 78.3mW typical (sine input, CMOS mode) - enables battery-powered or thermally constrained portable designs. |
| Input Bandwidth | 550MHz full-power - supports direct sampling of wideband analog inputs without external amplification. |
| Jitter | 0.07psRMS (differential encode) - limits aperture uncertainty, critical for high-frequency undersampling accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 64-lead (9mm × 9mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 65 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pins 1, 16, 17, 64) | Analog power supply | 1.7–1.9V supply; must be bypassed locally with 0.1µF ceramic capacitors for noise-sensitive ADC core stability. |
| AIN1+/AIN1– (Pins 4, 5) | Differential analog input, Channel 1 | Accepts 1–2VP-P differential signal; common-mode bias provided by VCM1 (Pin 2). |
| AIN2+/AIN2– (Pins 12, 13) | Differential analog input, Channel 2 | Phase-matched with Channel 1; enables coherent dual-channel acquisition for I/Q or beamforming. |
| ENC+/ENC– (Pins 18, 19) | Differential encode clock input | Conversion triggered on both edges; ENC– tied to GND enables single-ended mode. |
| PAR/SER (Pin 11) | Programming mode select | Ground = serial SPI control; VDD = parallel logic control - sets interface architecture early in design. |
| D1_0–D1_15 / D2_0–D2_15 (Pins 43–48, 50–58, 23–32) | Digital data outputs | Configurable as CMOS (single-ended) or DDR LVDS (differential); output swing set by OVDD (Pin 42). |
| CLKOUT+/CLKOUT– (Pins 40, 39) | Output clock pair | Provides synchronized clock for data capture; skew to data <0.6ns ensures timing margin in high-speed interfaces. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous sampling dual-channel architecture | Eliminates inter-channel skew (<1ps), enabling coherent I/Q demodulation and time-of-flight measurements. |
| Optional clock duty cycle stabilizer | Compensates for non-50% clock duty cycles without external circuitry, preserving AC performance at full 25Msps rate. |
| Selectable 1–2VP-P input range | Matches varying sensor or amplifier output levels without external gain stages, reducing BOM and layout complexity. |
| Shutdown and Nap modes | Reduces power to 1mW (Sleep) or 10mW (Nap) - extends battery life in portable medical or field-deployed DAQ systems. |
| Internal reference with ±25ppm/°C drift | Enables stable DC accuracy over 0°C–70°C without external reference, simplifying calibration in embedded systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel 16-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9269-20EBZ | 20Msps, 16-bit, dual-channel; requires 3.3V AVDD + 1.8V DVDD; no internal reference; SPI-configurable but no duty cycle stabilizer. | Better suited for lower-power, lower-bandwidth systems where 5Msps margin is acceptable and external reference is preferred. | Choose AD9269-20EBZ when system-level power budget allows split supplies and higher board area for external reference/bypassing. |
| LTC2268-14 | 14-bit, 80Msps, single-channel; 1.8V supply; 74dB SNR at 70MHz; no simultaneous dual-channel capability. | Applicable only when channel count is reduced and resolution trade-off (14 vs 16-bit) is acceptable for cost or speed priority. | Choose LTC2268-14 only if single-channel operation suffices and higher sampling rate (80Msps) outweighs resolution loss and lack of channel matching. |
Compared with AD9269-20EBZ and LTC2268-14, the LTC2180CUP#PBF uniquely combines 16-bit resolution, true simultaneous dual-channel sampling, 25Msps rate, and single 1.8V supply - making it optimal for portable, phase-coherent, medium-bandwidth acquisition where power, size, and channel matching are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC2180CUP#PBF?
The LTC2180CUP#PBF is rated for a maximum sampling rate of 25Msps. This is the fixed top speed for the LTC2180 variant within the LTC218x family - distinct from the LTC2181 (40Msps) and LTC2182 (65Msps). Operation above 25Msps is not guaranteed and may violate AC specifications such as SNR and SFDR.
Does the LTC2180CUP#PBF support simultaneous sampling across both channels?
Yes, the LTC2180CUP#PBF implements true simultaneous sampling using matched sample-and-hold circuits for both channels. Inter-channel skew is less than 1ps, ensuring phase coherence required for I/Q demodulation, beamforming, and time-difference-of-arrival measurements - a defining feature of the LTC218x series.
What output interface options does the LTC2180CUP#PBF support?
The LTC2180CUP#PBF supports three digital output modes: full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate (DDR) CMOS, and DDR LVDS. Output voltage swing is set by OVDD (1.2V–1.8V for CMOS; 1.7V–1.9V for LVDS), and mode selection is controlled via the PAR/SER pin and SPI register settings.
Can the LTC2180CUP#PBF operate from a single 1.8V supply?
Yes, the LTC2180CUP#PBF operates from a single 1.8V analog supply (VDD) across its full temperature range (0°C to 70°C). The digital output supply (OVDD) may be independently set to 1.2V, 1.5V, or 1.8V depending on interface requirements - enabling flexible interfacing with diverse logic families without level shifters.
What is the purpose of the PAR/SER pin on the LTC2180CUP#PBF?
The PAR/SER pin on the LTC2180CUP#PBF selects between serial SPI programming (PAR/SER = GND) and parallel logic programming (PAR/SER = VDD). In serial mode, CS/SCK/SDI/SDO form a 4-wire SPI interface for full configuration. In parallel mode, those pins become direct control inputs for basic functions like output mode and duty cycle stabilizer enable.
