Product details
Overview
LTC2205IUK#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 65Msps high-speed analog-to-digital converter optimized for undersampling RF and IF signals up to 700MHz full-power bandwidth. It features 79dB SNR, 100dB SFDR at 5MHz input (2.25VP-P range), ultralow 90fsRMS aperture jitter, ±4LSB INL, and a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) front end. It is deployed in cellular base station receivers and spectrum analyzers requiring wide dynamic range digitization.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2205IUK#PBF datasheet, LTC2205IUK#PBF pinout, LTC2205IUK#PBF application, or LTC2205IUK#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 65Msps sampling rate, 700MHz input bandwidth, differential LVDS/PECL clock interface, CMOS output swing (0.5V–3.6V), and –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade.
Technical Context
The LTC2205IUK#PBF employs a 16-bit pipelined ADC core with integrated sample-and-hold and correction logic, supporting both undersampling and baseband acquisition. Its PGA front end enables two selectable input ranges (1.5VP-P or 2.25VP-P) while maintaining DC accuracy of ±4LSB INL and ±1LSB DNL.
It accepts differential or single-ended encode clocks via ENC+/ENC– inputs, with an optional internal duty cycle stabilizer enabling full-speed operation across wide clock duty cycles. Output data is delivered in parallel CMOS format with pipeline latency of 7 cycles and configurable output power supply (OVDD = 0.5V–3.6V).

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the LTC2205IUK#PBF?
The LTC2205IUK#PBF supports a full-power analog input bandwidth of 700MHz, enabling direct undersampling of RF and IF signals without external bandpass filtering. This specification is verified per the datasheet's BW-3dB parameter and confirmed in typical performance plots (e.g., Figure G38, G39) showing maintained SFDR and SNR up to 140MHz input with 65Msps sampling.
Does the LTC2205IUK#PBF require external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2205IUK#PBF integrates an internal reference generator and does not require an external reference. The device operates with a single 3.3V analog supply (VDD) and provides a stable 1.25V common-mode bias (VCM) for the analog input stage. External reference mode is not supported per the datasheet's "INTERNAL ADC REFERENCE GENERATOR" block diagram and absence of VREF pins.
Can the LTC2205IUK#PBF operate with a 1.8V OVDD supply for interfacing with low-voltage FPGAs?
Yes, the LTC2205IUK#PBF supports OVDD from 0.5V to 3.6V, including 1.8V. At OVDD = 1.8V, the datasheet specifies VOH = 1.79V (IO = –200μA) and VOL = 0.1V (IO = 1.60mA), ensuring compatible logic thresholds for 1.8V FPGA I/O banks. This is explicitly validated in the "DIGITAL INPUTS AND DIGITAL OUTPUTS" section under OVDD = 1.8V conditions.
What is the function of the MODE pin on the LTC2205IUK#PBF?
The MODE pin on the LTC2205IUK#PBF selects between two input voltage ranges: MODE = low configures 2.25VP-P, and MODE = high configures 1.5VP-P. This setting directly controls the PGA gain and is independent of the PGA pin. The MODE pin's pull-down current is specified as 10μA, allowing simple resistor-based level setting or direct GPIO control.
Is the LTC2205IUK#PBF pin-compatible with other devices in the LTC220x family?
Yes, the LTC2205IUK#PBF is pin-compatible with the LTC2204, LTC2206, and LTC2207 families in the same 48-lead QFN package. The datasheet explicitly states "Pin Compatible Family" and confirms identical pinouts across these variants (e.g., AIN+, ENC+, D0–D15, CLKOUT+, etc.), enabling drop-in upgrades or downgrades based on sample rate requirements without PCB revision.
