Product details
Overview
LTC2180IUP#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 1.8V supply, enabling undersampling of IF signals up to 140MHz in portable medical imaging and multi-channel data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2180IUP#PBF datasheet, LTC2180IUP#PBF pinout, LTC2180IUP#PBF application, or LTC2180IUP#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25Msps sampling rate, dual-channel timing matching, DDR LVDS/CMOS output flexibility, 550MHz full-power bandwidth, and –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade.
Technical Context
The LTC2180IUP#PBF implements two independent 16-bit ADC cores with matched sample-and-hold circuits, ensuring precise channel-to-channel synchronization for I/Q or differential signal capture. Its architecture supports selectable input ranges (1VP-P to 2VP-P), optional clock duty cycle stabilization, and randomizer-enabled data output to reduce spectral correlation.
Digital interface options include full-rate CMOS, DDR CMOS, or DDR LVDS outputs-each configurable via SPI or parallel control pins-with separate OVDD supply (1.2V–1.8V) enabling voltage-level translation. Internal reference provides 1.25V ±25ppm/°C stability, while external reference mode accepts 0.625V–1.3V on SENSE pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes over temperature-guarantees monotonicity in precision measurement applications. |
| Sampling Rate | 25Msps-supports baseband and low-IF digitization in cost-sensitive, power-constrained systems. |
| SNR / SFDR | 77dB SNR and 90dB SFDR at 70MHz input-enables high-fidelity signal reconstruction in software-defined radios. |
| Power Dissipation | 78.3mW typical total (39.15mW per channel) at 25Msps-reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts. |
| Input Bandwidth | 550MHz full-power bandwidth-allows direct sampling of wideband RF/IF signals without external amplification. |

Pinout & Package
64-lead (9mm × 9mm) plastic QFN package 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 (1,16,17,64) | Analog supply input | 1.7V–1.9V rail powering ADC core and references; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass. |
| AIN1+/AIN1– (4,5) | Channel 1 differential analog input | Accepts 1VP-P to 2VP-P differential signal; biased by VCM1 (Pin 2) at VDD/2. |

| PAR/SER (11) | Programming mode select | Ground = serial SPI interface; VDD = parallel logic control of key functions (Duty Cycle Stabilizer, Output Mode). |
| D1_0–D1_15 / D2_0–D2_15 (23–32,43–58) | Dual-channel digital data outputs | Configurable as CMOS (single-ended) or DDR LVDS (differential); output swing set by OVDD (Pin 42). |
| REFH/REFL (7,8,9,10) | Internal reference high/low | Provides 1.25V reference; requires 10µF + 0.1µF bypassing between REFH and REFL for stability. |
| SENSE (63) | External reference input | Accepts 0.625V–1.3V external reference voltage for improved gain accuracy and drift performance. |
Key Features

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, single-channel; no simultaneous sampling; SPI-only configuration. | Lacks dual-channel sync; suited for lower-speed single-input systems like legacy data loggers. | Select only when channel count and simultaneity are not required-avoid for I/Q or differential capture. |
| ADS52J90IRGCT | 10-bit, 100Msps, 10-channel; higher speed but lower resolution; JESD204B interface. | Targets high-channel-count, moderate-resolution applications like radar front-ends-not suitable for precision metrology. | Choose for massively parallel acquisition where resolution >10 bits is secondary to channel density and throughput. |
Compared with AD9269-20EBZ and ADS52J90IRGCT, the LTC2180IUP#PBF uniquely balances 16-bit resolution, true dual-channel simultaneity, and ultra-low jitter at 25Msps-making it irreplaceable in portable ultrasound and calibrated multi-sensor systems requiring matched gain, offset, and timing.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the LTC2180IUP#PBF?
The LTC2180IUP#PBF features a 550MHz full-power bandwidth, allowing it to accurately digitize analog signals up to 550MHz in amplitude before significant attenuation occurs. This enables direct undersampling of IF signals such as 70MHz or 140MHz carriers in SDR and test equipment without external amplification or filtering.
Does the LTC2180IUP#PBF support external voltage reference operation?
Yes, the LTC2180IUP#PBF supports external reference mode via the SENSE pin (Pin 63), which accepts a stable 0.625V–1.3V reference voltage. When used, this improves gain accuracy and temperature drift performance compared to the internal 1.25V reference, making the LTC2180IUP#PBF suitable for high-precision calibration-critical applications.
What digital output interface options does the LTC2180IUP#PBF provide?
The LTC2180IUP#PBF offers three configurable digital output modes: full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate CMOS, and double-data-rate LVDS. Output voltage levels are set by OVDD (Pin 42), supporting 1.2V, 1.5V, or 1.8V CMOS swings, or 3.5mA/1.75mA LVDS current modes-enabling flexible interfacing with FPGAs, ASICs, or DSPs.
How does the LTC2180IUP#PBF achieve simultaneous sampling across both channels?
The LTC2180IUP#PBF integrates two fully independent 16-bit ADC cores sharing a common sample-and-hold circuit architecture with matched propagation delays. Its internal design ensures sub-picosecond channel-to-channel skew and guaranteed simultaneity-even under varying temperature and supply conditions-verified by ±1.5mV offset matching and ±0.3%FS gain matching specs.
What power-saving modes are available on the LTC2180IUP#PBF?
The LTC2180IUP#PBF provides two low-power states: Nap mode (10mW) and Sleep mode (1mW). Both retain register settings and reference bias; Sleep mode disables the ADC core entirely, while Nap mode preserves partial functionality for rapid wake-up-ideal for battery-powered portable medical devices needing intermittent high-fidelity sampling.
