Product details
Overview
LTC2205CUK#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 65Msps high-speed analog-to-digital converter optimized for undersampling wideband RF signals up to 700MHz full-power bandwidth. It features 79dB SNR, 100dB SFDR at 5MHz input, ultralow 90fsRMS aperture jitter, and a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) front end supporting 1.5VP-P or 2.25VP-P input ranges. It is deployed in cellular base station receivers and spectrum analyzers requiring high dynamic range digitization.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2205CUK#PBF datasheet, LTC2205CUK#PBF pinout, LTC2205CUK#PBF application, or LTC2205CUK#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 65Msps sampling rate, 700MHz analog input bandwidth, CMOS output swing adjustable from 0.5V to 3.6V, internal clock duty cycle stabilizer, and out-of-range indicator functionality.
Technical Context
The LTC2205CUK#PBF employs a pipelined ADC architecture with integrated sample-and-hold and PGA front end, enabling direct RF sampling without external IF stages. Its 90fsRMS aperture jitter supports clean undersampling of multi-hundred-MHz signals, while the separate OVDD supply allows flexible interfacing with FPGA or ASIC logic levels.
It supports differential or single-ended clock inputs (PECL/LVDS/TTL/CMOS), includes optional internal dither and data output randomization to suppress harmonic spurs, and provides pipeline latency of exactly 7 cycles with deterministic timing relationships between ENC, CLKOUT, and data outputs.
Key Specifications

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; JESD204B serial output; 75dB SNR; 80dB SFDR; requires external clock buffer. | No parallel CMOS interface; targets FPGA JESD204B lanes instead of wide bus; higher power (750mW). | Select when serial interface density and FPGA resource efficiency outweigh parallel bus simplicity. |
| LTC2204CUK#PBF | Same family, pin-compatible; 40Msps max; 480mW power; identical 79dB SNR/SFDR specs at lower rate. | Lower sampling rate reduces aliasing risk in narrowband IF applications but limits instantaneous bandwidth. | Select for cost-sensitive or thermally constrained designs where 40Msps meets system bandwidth needs. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2205CUK#PBF?
The LTC2205CUK#PBF is specified for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to 70°C. This grade is validated per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and dynamic performance specifications in the LTC2205/LTC2204 datasheet (Rev. D), with full AC/DC parameter compliance across the range. Industrial-grade variants (e.g., LTC2205IUK#PBF) extend to –40°C to 85°C.
Does the LTC2205CUK#PBF support single-ended clock inputs?
Yes, the LTC2205CUK#PBF supports both differential (ENC+/ENC–) and single-ended clock inputs. When driven single-ended, the ENC– pin is biased to VCM (1.25V), and ENC+ accepts TTL, CMOS, or sine wave signals - confirmed in the "Encode Inputs" section of the datasheet under "VICM Common Mode Input Voltage" and timing diagrams.
How does the PGA setting affect input range and noise performance of the LTC2205CUK#PBF?
The PGA in the LTC2205CUK#PBF selects between 1.5VP-P and 2.25VP-P full-scale input ranges. At PGA = 1 (1.5VP-P), the input-referred noise decreases, improving SNR for small signals; at PGA = 0 (2.25VP-P), headroom increases for large-signal handling - verified in SNR vs. input frequency plots (Figures G39, G40) and specification tables.
Can the LTC2205CUK#PBF operate with OVDD = 1.8V for interfacing with low-voltage FPGAs?
Yes, the LTC2205CUK#PBF supports OVDD from 0.5V to 3.6V. At OVDD = 1.8V, VOH is guaranteed ≥1.79V and VOL ≤0.1V under load (per "Digital Outputs" table), enabling direct connection to 1.8V FPGA I/O banks without level shifters - confirmed in the "DIGITAL INPUTS AND DIGITAL OUTPUTS" section of the datasheet.
What is the pipeline latency of the LTC2205CUK#PBF, and how is it used in system synchronization?
The LTC2205CUK#PBF has a fixed pipeline latency of 7 clock cycles from ENC edge to valid D0–D15 output. This deterministic delay is critical for time-aligned multi-channel sampling and enables precise phase calibration in phased-array or MIMO systems - explicitly stated in the "TIMING CHARACTERISTICS" table and illustrated in Figure TD01 of the datasheet.
