Product details
Overview
LTC2222IUK-11 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 11-bit, 105 Msps pipelined analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-frequency signal digitization in communications infrastructure. It delivers 65.4 dB SNR at 140 MHz input, 80 dB SFDR up to 150 MHz, and 775 MHz full-power bandwidth with 0.15 psRMS aperture jitter. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply, supports ±0.5 V or ±1 V differential input ranges, and targets IF sampling in wireless base stations and cable head-end systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2222IUK-11 datasheet, LTC2222IUK-11 pinout, LTC2222IUK-11 application, or LTC2222IUK-11 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, real-world timing behavior, CMOS output interface details, and validated alternative options for RF receiver front-end and test equipment designs.
Technical Context
The LTC2222IUK-11 implements a five-stage CMOS pipelined ADC architecture with digital correction logic, delivering 5-cycle pipeline latency and no missing codes across –40°C to +85°C. Its sample-and-hold uses low-glitch NMOS switches and 1.6 pF sampling capacitors, driven by differential ENC+/ENC– inputs compatible with PECL, LVDS, TTL, or CMOS clock sources.
It integrates a programmable 1.6 V VCM reference output, flexible internal/external reference selection via SENSE pin, and configurable output format (offset binary or 2's complement) with optional clock duty cycle stabilizer. CMOS outputs are powered separately via OVDD (0.5 V to 3.3 V), enabling level-shifting to FPGA or ASIC interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 11-bit with guaranteed no missing codes over temperature - ensures monotonicity in closed-loop linearization systems. |
| Sampling Rate | 105 Msps - supports Nyquist-zone sampling of IF signals up to 52.5 MHz or undersampling of 100–150 MHz bands. |
| SNR @ 140 MHz | 65.4 dB (typ, 2 V range) - enables >10-bit effective resolution for wideband LTE/WiMAX carrier signals. |
| SFDR @ 150 MHz | 80 dB (typ, 2 V range) - suppresses spurious tones critical for adjacent-channel interference rejection in multi-carrier systems. |
| Aperture Jitter | 0.15 psRMS - limits sampling noise floor degradation to <0.2 dB loss at 140 MHz input, essential for high-IF architectures. |
| Power Dissipation | 475 mW (typ, 3.3 V VDD, 105 Msps) - balances performance and thermal load in dense RF module layouts. |
| Input Bandwidth | 775 MHz full-power bandwidth - preserves amplitude fidelity for fast-rising pulse and wideband modulated waveforms. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead 7 mm × 7 mm plastic QFN with exposed pad (Pin 49 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– (1, 2) | Differential analog input pair | Accepts ±0.5 V or ±1 V differential signals; common-mode bias set by VCM (1.6 V) or external driver. |
| ENC+, ENC– (16, 17) | Differential encode clock inputs | Sampled on rising/falling edges; supports single-ended drive with bypass capacitor; enables jitter-insensitive timing. |
| D0–D10 (24, 25, 26, 29–31, 34–36, 39, 40) | CMOS digital outputs (D10 = MSB) | Output swing set by OVDD (0.5–3.3 V); tri-state controlled by OE; data valid referenced to CLOCKOUT falling edge. |
| SHDN, OE (18, 19) | Power mode control | SHDN = VDD + OE = GND → nap mode (35 mW); SHDN = VDD + OE = VDD → shutdown (2 mW). |
| MODE (42) | Output format & duty cycle stabilizer select | Logic levels define offset binary/2's complement and enable/disable clock stabilizer - affects timing margin in high-jitter systems. |
| SENSE (43) | Reference range programming | Tie to VCM → ±0.5 V range; tie to VDD → ±1 V range; apply external voltage → custom range - sets full-scale gain without external resistors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flexible input range selection | ±0.5 V or ±1 V differential via SENSE pin - eliminates external gain-setting resistors and simplifies front-end design for varying signal chain levels. |
| Low-aperture-jitter sampling | 0.15 psRMS - enables clean undersampling of 100+ MHz IF signals without significant SNR penalty, reducing need for expensive clock cleaners. |
| Configurable output interface | OVDD-adjustable CMOS outputs (0.5–3.3 V) with OE-controlled tri-state - allows direct interfacing to 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V FPGAs without level shifters. |
| Integrated VCM reference | 1.6 V ±25 ppm/°C output with 4 Ω drive strength - provides stable common-mode bias for transformer-coupled or op-amp-driven inputs, minimizing layout sensitivity. |
| Multi-mode power management | Normal (475 mW), nap (35 mW), and shutdown (2 mW) states - supports dynamic power scaling in burst-mode receivers and portable test gear. |
Applications
| Wireless Base Station Receiver | Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2232IUK-11 | 10-bit, same 105 Msps, identical pinout and package - lower resolution but 15% lower power (400 mW) and improved SFDR at low input frequencies. | Better suited for cost-sensitive, medium-dynamic-range applications like broadband monitoring where 10-bit ENOB suffices. | Select when system SNR requirement ≤ 60 dB and power budget is constrained; retains PCB compatibility. |
| AD9233BCPZ-105 | Analog Devices 12-bit, 105 Msps ADC; higher resolution but 0.35 psRMS jitter and 700 mW power - requires separate 1.8 V OVDD and different reference architecture. | Preferred for applications needing >11-bit ENOB at lower IFs (<70 MHz), but less optimal for high-IF undersampling due to higher jitter. | Choose when absolute linearity (±0.3 LSB INL) and DC accuracy outweigh jitter-sensitive high-IF performance. |
Compared with LTC2232IUK-11, the LTC2222IUK-11 trades 1-bit resolution for 5 dB higher SFDR at 150 MHz and better jitter performance, making it superior for wideband IF sampling; versus AD9233BCPZ-105, it offers lower jitter and simpler power sequencing at the cost of 1-bit resolution and slightly reduced DC precision.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2222IUK-11?
The LTC2222IUK-11 is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This extended range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all key AC/DC specifications including SNR, SFDR, INL, and DNL - making it suitable for outdoor base station and head-end equipment deployments.
Does the LTC2222IUK-11 support single-ended analog input?
Yes, the LTC2222IUK-11 supports single-ended analog input: drive AIN+ with the signal and tie AIN– to VCM (1.6 V). However, harmonic distortion (especially 2nd order) and INL degrade relative to differential drive; SNR and DNL remain unaffected. The datasheet explicitly validates this configuration in the "Single-Ended Input" section.
What is the purpose of the MODE pin on the LTC2222IUK-11?
The MODE pin on the LTC2222IUK-11 selects both output data format (offset binary or 2's complement) and clock duty cycle stabilizer state. Logic levels - 0 V, 1/3 VDD, 2/3 VDD, or VDD - configure these functions independently. This dual role is documented in the Pin Functions section and enables timing robustness in systems with asymmetric clock sources.
Can the LTC2222IUK-11 operate with OVDD = 1.8 V?
Yes, the LTC2222IUK-11 supports OVDD from 0.5 V to 3.3 V. At OVDD = 1.8 V, VOH is guaranteed ≥2.49 V and VOL ≤0.09 V under specified load conditions - fully compatible with 1.8 V FPGA I/O banks. This is verified in the Digital Outputs table under "OVDD = 1.8 V" subsection.
How does the SENSE pin configure input range on the LTC2222IUK-11?
The SENSE pin directly programs full-scale range: tying SENSE to VCM selects ±0.5 V differential input; tying to VDD selects ±1 V. An external voltage between 0.5 V and 1 V sets proportional range (e.g., 0.75 V → ±0.75 V). This is explicitly defined in the Pin Functions and Reference Operation sections, with no external components required.
