Product details
Overview
LTC2216IUP#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 80Msps low-noise analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-frequency undersampling in communications receivers and spectrum analysis systems. It features 81.3dBFS SNR, 100dB spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), 85fsRMS aperture jitter, 2.75VP-P fixed input range, and 400MHz full-power bandwidth - enabling digitization of IF signals up to 140MHz with high fidelity.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2216IUP#PBF datasheet, LTC2216IUP#PBF pinout, LTC2216IUP#PBF application, or LTC2216IUP#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), LVDS/CMOS output flexibility, internal dither capability, clock duty cycle stabilizer, and compatibility with demanding wideband RF signal chains requiring >95dB SFDR at 70MHz.
Technical Context
The LTC2216IUP#PBF employs a 16-bit pipelined ADC architecture with integrated sample-and-hold and internal reference generation. Its 85fsRMS aperture jitter enables high-fidelity undersampling of RF inputs up to 400MHz, while the optional clock duty cycle stabilizer maintains performance across non-50% clock waveforms.
Dual-output mode support includes differential LVDS (standard or low-power) and configurable CMOS (full-rate or demultiplexed), with separate OVDD supply allowing 0.5V–3.6V output swing. The device supports internal dither and data randomization to suppress harmonic artifacts in narrowband applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution & Sample Rate | 16-bit, 80Msps - delivers 1280MSPS effective throughput in demux CMOS mode; sufficient for Nyquist-sampled baseband or undersampled IF signals up to 140MHz. |
| SNR / SFDR | 81.3dBFS SNR, 100dB SFDR (at 5MHz); >95dB SFDR at 70MHz - ensures clean spectral representation for LTE/WiMAX receiver I/Q digitization. |
| Aperture Jitter | 85fsRMS - limits noise floor degradation when undersampling high-frequency inputs (e.g., 70MHz IF), preserving ENOB >13.2 bits. |
| Analog Input Range | 2.75VP-P differential - fixed full-scale range simplifies front-end gain staging and eliminates external reference trimming. |
| Full-Power Bandwidth | 400MHz - supports direct sampling of L-band and S-band IF signals without external anti-alias filtering beyond basic passive networks. |
| Supply & Power | Single 3.3V analog supply; 970mW typical power dissipation - compatible with standard FPGA/ASIC I/O rails and thermal budgets in compact RF modules. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and outdoor wireless infrastructure deployments including cellular base station remote radio units. |
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 integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input | Accepts 2.75VP-P signal with 1.575V common-mode; 400MHz bandwidth enables direct IF sampling without transformer coupling. |
| ENC+, ENC– | Differential encode clock input | Sample edge triggered on ENC+ rising / ENC– falling; supports PECL/LVDS/TTL/CMOS; duty cycle stabilizer improves timing margin. |
| SHDN | Power shutdown control | Active-high logic input; places analog core in low-power state (17mW) and outputs in high-Z - enables rapid power cycling in TDD systems. |
| DITH | Internal dither enable | High = enables on-chip dither to break up harmonic correlation; critical for improving SFDR in narrowband FFT-based spectrum analyzers. |
| VCM | Common-mode bias output | 1.575V buffered reference for input termination networks; requires ≥2.2μF ceramic bypass to minimize noise coupling into analog path. |
| SENSE | Reference mode select | Tied to VDD selects internal 2.5V bandgap; supports external 2.5V/1.25V references - maintains 2.75VP-P full-scale regardless of reference choice. |
| DB0–DB15 / DA0–DA15 | Digital output buses (demux mode) | B and A buses deliver interleaved 16-bit words at 40MHz each - reduces EMI and routing density vs full-rate 80MHz CMOS interface. |
| OVDD (Pins 32, 49) | Digital output supply | Independent 0.5V–3.6V rail allows level-shifting to match FPGA I/O standards (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) without level translators. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low aperture jitter (85fsRMS) | Enables high-SFDR undersampling of 70MHz+ IF signals without external jitter cleanup circuits or ultra-low-noise clocks. |

| Configurable digital outputs | LVDS (standard/low-power) or CMOS (full-rate/demux) - supports system-level trade-offs between EMI, power, and FPGA interface constraints. |
| Integrated clock duty cycle stabilizer | Allows use of asymmetric clock sources (e.g., PLL outputs, crystal oscillators with poor duty cycle) without degrading AC performance. |
| Industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C) | Validated operation across extended thermal range - suitable for uncooled outdoor small cells and military comms equipment. |
| Pin-compatible with LTC2208/LTC2217 | Enables drop-in migration between 65Msps (LTC2215), 80Msps (LTC2216), and 105Msps (LTC2217) variants - simplifies platform scalability. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2216IUP#PBF?
The LTC2216IUP#PBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per the datasheet's "Operating Temperature Range" specification for the "I" grade, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor wireless infrastructure, defense electronics, and industrial test equipment without derating.
Does the LTC2216IUP#PBF support both LVDS and CMOS digital outputs?
Yes, the LTC2216IUP#PBF supports three output configurations: differential LVDS (standard or low-power mode) and single-ended CMOS (full-rate or demultiplexed). Output mode is selected via the LVDS pin (Pin 61); CMOS mode allows OVDD to be set from 0.5V to 3.6V for direct FPGA I/O matching.
How does the internal dither function improve performance in the LTC2216IUP#PBF?
When enabled via the DITH pin (Pin 20), the LTC2216IUP#PBF injects controlled noise to decorrelate quantization harmonics. At –25dBFS input, dither raises SFDR by up to 20dB (e.g., from 105dBFS to 115dBFS), which is critical for spectrum analysis and radar applications where spurious-free resolution determines measurement fidelity.
Is the LTC2216IUP#PBF pin-compatible with other devices in the LTC22xx family?
Yes, the LTC2216IUP#PBF is pin-compatible with the LTC2208 and LTC2217, sharing the same 64-pin QFN footprint and signal assignments. This enables hardware reuse across designs targeting 65Msps (LTC2215), 80Msps (LTC2216), and 105Msps (LTC2217) sample rates without PCB redesign.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the LTC2216IUP#PBF?
The SENSE pin (Pin 1) selects the reference configuration: tied to VDD enables the internal 2.5V bandgap reference, while an external 2.5V or 1.25V reference can be applied. In all cases, the LTC2216IUP#PBF maintains a fixed 2.75VP-P full-scale input range - simplifying analog front-end design and eliminating gain calibration.
