Product details
Overview
LTC2185CUP#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, dual-channel, simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter with 125Msps sampling rate, 76.8dB SNR, and 90dB SFDR. It operates from a single 1.8V supply, supports CMOS/DDR-CMOS/DDR-LVDS outputs, and targets high-fidelity IF digitization in cellular base stations and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2185CUP#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2185CUP#TRPBF pinout, LTC2185CUP#TRPBF application, or LTC2185CUP#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 550MHz full-power bandwidth, ultralow 0.07psRMS jitter, ±2LSB INL, 1.8V single-supply operation, and configurable output interface modes for system-level timing and signal integrity optimization.
Technical Context
The LTC2185CUP#TRPBF integrates two independent 16-bit ADC cores sharing a common sample-and-hold with 550MHz bandwidth and 0.07psRMS acquisition jitter. Its dual-channel architecture enables true simultaneous sampling critical for I/Q demodulation and phase-coherent multi-channel systems.
It features a serial SPI port for configuration of output format (CMOS/DDR-CMOS/DDR-LVDS), clock duty cycle stabilizer, data randomizer, and power modes (Nap: 16mW, Sleep: 1mW). Input range is selectable between 1VP-P and 2VP-P, with internal or external reference support via VREF/SENSE pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage in precision measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 125Msps - supports Nyquist-limited IF sampling up to 62.5MHz or undersampling of higher RF bands. |
| SNR | 76.8dB at 70MHz input - enables >12.4 effective bits for high-dynamic-range signal capture. |
| SFDR | 90dB at 70MHz input - suppresses harmonics sufficiently for demanding spectral purity requirements in comms receivers. |
| Total Power | 370mW at 125Msps with CMOS outputs - balances performance and thermal budget in dense RF front-ends. |
| Input Bandwidth | 550MHz full-power - preserves amplitude fidelity for wideband signals without external anti-alias filtering penalties. |
| Jitter | 0.07psRMS (differential encode) - minimizes aperture uncertainty, enabling clean undersampling of 100+ MHz IFs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 64-lead (9mm × 9mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 65 = GND, must be soldered).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (1,16,17,64) | Analog supply input | 1.7–1.9V rail; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypassing per group to maintain noise-sensitive analog core stability. |
| AIN1+/AIN1– (4,5) | Differential analog input channel 1 | Accepts 1–2VP-P differential signal; common-mode biased by VCM1 (Pin 2) at ~0.9V. |
| ENC+/ENC– (18,19) | Differential encode clock input | Triggers conversion on both edges; supports PECL/LVDS/TTL/CMOS; optional duty cycle stabilizer improves timing margin. |
| D1_0–D1_15 / D2_0–D2_15 (23–32,43–58) | Parallel digital output data | 16-bit per channel; configurable as full-rate CMOS, DDR-CMOS, or DDR-LVDS - selects interface voltage swing and timing protocol. |
| PAR/SER (11) | Programming mode select | Ground = Serial SPI mode (full feature control); VDD = Parallel mode (limited register access via CS/SCK/SDI). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous sampling dual ADC | Eliminates inter-channel skew for coherent I/Q processing and beamforming without calibration overhead. |
| Selectable output interface | CMOS/DDR-CMOS/DDR-LVDS options allow matching to FPGA/ASIC I/O standards while optimizing power vs. EMI trade-offs. |
| Optional clock duty cycle stabilizer | Enables robust 125Msps operation even with asymmetric clock sources (e.g., PLL outputs), reducing system-level timing closure effort. |
| Low-power Nap and Sleep modes | Nap (16mW) and Sleep (1mW) states permit rapid power-state transitions during burst-mode or TDD operation without reconfiguration latency. |
| Configurable input range & reference | 1–2VP-P range selection and internal/external reference (via SENSE pin) simplify front-end gain staging across diverse signal chain topologies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9680BCPZ-125 | 14-bit, 125Msps, JESD204B serial output, 1.25W typical power | Targets higher channel count systems with FPGA JESD204B receivers; lacks parallel CMOS/DDR-CMOS flexibility | Choose AD9680BCPZ-125 when serial interface and higher channel density outweigh power and interface flexibility needs. |
| ADS52J90IRGCT | 16-bit, 100Msps, 8-channel, LVDS parallel output, 1.3W typical power | Offers 4× more channels in same package but lower per-channel SNR (73.5dB) and no simultaneous sampling guarantee | Choose ADS52J90IRGCT for cost-sensitive, multi-channel systems where inter-channel coherence is less critical than channel count. |
Compared with AD9680BCPZ-125 and ADS52J90IRGCT, the LTC2185CUP#TRPBF delivers superior SNR (76.8dB vs. ≤74dB) and guaranteed simultaneous sampling in a lower-power (370mW), pin-compatible QFN package - making it optimal for phase-coherent, dual-path RF receivers where analog interface flexibility and jitter performance are paramount.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2185CUP#TRPBF?
The LTC2185CUP#TRPBF is specified for commercial temperature range: 0°C to +70°C. This is indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. For extended industrial operation (–40°C to +85°C), the LTC2185IUP#TRPBF variant is available.
Does the LTC2185CUP#TRPBF support external voltage reference operation?
Yes, the LTC2185CUP#TRPBF supports external reference mode via the SENSE pin, accepting 0.625V to 1.300V. When enabled, this overrides the internal 1.25V reference (VREF) and allows precise gain calibration or compatibility with system-level reference voltages - a capability confirmed in the "Analog Input" and "Internal Reference Characteristics" sections of the datasheet.
What output interface modes does the LTC2185CUP#TRPBF support?
The LTC2185CUP#TRPBF supports three digital output interface modes: full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate CMOS, and double-data-rate LVDS. Mode selection is configured via SPI registers or parallel control inputs (depending on PAR/SER pin state), allowing system designers to match FPGA/ASIC I/O standards while balancing power, noise, and timing requirements.
How many pins does the LTC2185CUP#TRPBF have, and what is its package type?
The LTC2185CUP#TRPBF uses a 64-lead plastic QFN package measuring 9mm × 9mm with an exposed thermal pad (Pin 65 = GND). This is explicitly stated in the "Pin Configurations" section and confirmed across all three output mode diagrams (CMOS, DDR-CMOS, DDR-LVDS) in the datasheet.
Can the LTC2185CUP#TRPBF operate from a single 1.8V supply?
Yes, the LTC2185CUP#TRPBF operates from a single 1.8V analog supply (VDD) and a separate 1.2V–1.8V output supply (OVDD). The recommended VDD range is 1.7V–1.9V, with 1.8V nominal - verified in the "Power Requirements" table and "Typical Application" schematic. This simplifies power delivery in space-constrained RF systems.
