Product details
Overview
LTC2216CUP#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 80Msps analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-frequency undersampling in communications and instrumentation systems. It features 81.3dBFS SNR, 100dB SFDR at 5MHz input, 85fsRMS aperture jitter, 2.75VP-P fixed input range, and 400MHz full-power bandwidth - enabling direct RF sampling up to 140MHz with dither-enabled SFDR >110dBc.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2216CUP#PBF datasheet, LTC2216CUP#PBF pinout, LTC2216CUP#PBF application, or LTC2216CUP#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its LVDS/CMOS dual-output flexibility, internal clock duty cycle stabilizer, optional dither and data randomization, and compatibility with wideband IF receivers requiring <±3.5LSB INL and single 3.3V supply operation.
Technical Context
The LTC2216CUP#PBF employs a 16-bit pipelined ADC core with integrated sample-and-hold, internal 2.5V bandgap reference (selectable via SENSE pin), and programmable output format (LVDS or CMOS, full-rate or demultiplexed). Its 85fsRMS aperture jitter enables high-fidelity undersampling of signals up to 140MHz without external jitter cleanup.
Digital interface control includes dedicated MODE, LVDS, RAND, and DITH pins; ENC+/ENC– accept differential or single-ended clocks (PECL/LVDS/TTL/CMOS); and output swing is configurable via OVDD (0.5V–3.6V for CMOS, 3.0V–3.6V for LVDS). The device supports shutdown mode with 17mW power consumption.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution & Speed | 16-bit, 80Msps - delivers 1.28Gbps raw data throughput with Nyquist zone coverage up to 40MHz or 1st-zone undersampling up to 140MHz. |
| SNR / SFDR | 81.3dBFS SNR, 100dB SFDR (5MHz) - ensures high dynamic range for multi-carrier cellular and spectrum analysis applications. |
| Aperture Jitter | 85fsRMS - limits noise floor degradation when sampling high-frequency inputs (e.g., 70MHz IF yields >80dBFS SNR). |
| Analog Input | 2.75VP-P differential, 400MHz –3dB bandwidth - supports transformer-coupled or balun-driven RF/IF inputs without external amplification. |
| Power Consumption | 970mW at 80Msps (CMOS mode, 3.3V) - optimized for thermal management in dense RF front-ends and ATE systems. |
| Supply & Interface | Single 3.3V analog supply (VDD); separate OVDD (0.5–3.6V) for digital outputs - enables level-shifting to FPGA I/O banks or ASIC interfaces. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade base station radios, test equipment, and medical imaging subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
64-pin (9mm × 9mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 65 = GND). Requires soldering exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input | Accepts 2.75VP-P signal with 1.575V common-mode; 9.1pF capacitance in sample mode enables direct transformer coupling. |
| ENC+, ENC– | Differential encode clock input | Sample edge-triggered on ENC+ rising/ENC– falling; supports 5–500ns pulse width and internal duty cycle stabilization. |
| SHDN | Shutdown control | Active-high: places analog core in standby (17mW) and forces digital outputs to high-Z - enables rapid power cycling in burst-mode systems. |
| DITH | Internal dither enable | High = enables on-chip dither to improve SFDR by >10dB at low input levels (e.g., –25dBFS), critical for radar pulse detection. |
| LVDS, MODE | Output configuration | LVDS = high/low-power LVDS or CMOS; MODE = selects full-rate (D0–D15) or demuxed (DA0–DA15/DB0–DB15) CMOS bus - simplifies FPGA resource mapping. |
| VCM | Common-mode bias output | 1.575V ±0.1V reference for external ADC driver biasing; requires ≥2.2μF ceramic bypass to minimize noise coupling into analog path. |
| SENSE | Reference select | Tied to VDD → internal 2.5V bandgap; accepts 1.25V/2.5V external reference - maintains 2.75VP-P full-scale regardless of reference choice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low aperture jitter | 85fsRMS enables clean undersampling of 70MHz+ IF signals without external clock cleaning - reduces BOM cost vs. jitter-attenuator solutions. |

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-80 | 16-bit, 80Msps; 77dBFS SNR, 92dB SFDR; requires external reference and clock buffer; 1.8V/3.3V dual supply. | Lower dynamic range; higher system complexity due to external support circuitry; suited for cost-sensitive industrial DAQ over RF comms. | Select when lower power (540mW) and JESD204B serial interface are prioritized over SFDR/jitter performance. |
| LTC2217CUP#PBF | 16-bit, 105Msps; 80.5dBFS SNR, 95dB SFDR; identical pinout/package; higher power (1220mW); same dither/randomizer features. | Higher speed but reduced SFDR at 70MHz+; suitable for wider instantaneous bandwidth needs where 105Msps is mandatory. | Choose for upgrade path requiring >80Msps while retaining PCB layout, firmware, and driver compatibility. |
Compared with AD9268BCPZ-80 and LTC2217CUP#PBF, the LTC2216CUP#PBF delivers superior SFDR (100dB vs. 92/95dB) and lower jitter (85fs vs. 100+/95fs), making it optimal for RF receiver front-ends where spurious-free dynamic range is critical - while maintaining pin-compatibility with both alternatives for flexible design reuse.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the LTC2216CUP#PBF?
The LTC2216CUP#PBF has a 400MHz full-power bandwidth (–3dB point), enabling reliable digitization of analog inputs up to 140MHz in undersampling configurations. At 70MHz input, it maintains 80.2dBFS SNR and 97dBc SFDR (dither off), confirming usable performance well beyond its Nyquist frequency of 40MHz.
Does the LTC2216CUP#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No - the LTC2216CUP#PBF includes an internal 2.5V bandgap reference. When the SENSE pin is tied to VDD, the device uses this internal reference to set a fixed 2.75VP-P input range. An external 1.25V or 2.5V reference may be applied to SENSE for alternative calibration schemes, but it is not required for standard operation.
How does the clock duty cycle stabilizer function in the LTC2216CUP#PBF?
The LTC2216CUP#PBF's internal clock duty cycle stabilizer corrects non-50% ENC+/ENC– duty cycles in real time, allowing high-performance sampling (≤85fsRMS jitter) even with 40–60% duty cycle clocks. This eliminates the need for external duty-cycle correction ICs in PLL-based clock distribution networks feeding the ADC.
Can the LTC2216CUP#PBF operate with CMOS outputs at 1.8V logic levels?
Yes - the LTC2216CUP#PBF supports CMOS output mode with OVDD adjustable from 0.5V to 3.6V. At OVDD = 1.8V, VOH is guaranteed ≥1.79V and VOL ≤0.1V under load, ensuring robust interfacing with 1.8V FPGA I/O banks without level-shifting components.
What is the power-down behavior of the LTC2216CUP#PBF when SHDN is asserted?
When SHDN is driven high, the LTC2216CUP#PBF disables its analog core (sample-and-hold, ADC pipeline, reference), reducing total power to 17mW. All digital outputs enter high-impedance state, and the device retains register settings. Wake-up settling to mid-scale occurs in <1.5ms, enabling low-latency burst-mode operation.
