Product details
Overview
LTC2225CUH#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 10 Msps low-power pipelined analog-to-digital converter operating from a single 3V supply (2.7V–3.4V), delivering 71.3 dB SNR and 90 dB SFDR at 5 MHz input - optimized for high-fidelity spectral analysis and portable instrumentation signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2225CUH#PBF datasheet, LTC2225CUH#PBF pinout, LTC2225CUH#PBF application, or LTC2225CUH#PBF equivalent, key selection factors include its 575 MHz full-power bandwidth, clock duty cycle stabilizer, flexible ±0.5V/±1V input range via SENSE pin, and 32-pin 5mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed ground pad.
Technical Context
The LTC2225CUH#PBF implements a six-stage CMOS pipelined ADC architecture with 5-cycle latency, supporting differential or single-ended analog inputs and offering programmable output format (offset binary or 2's complement) via the MODE pin. Its internal 1.5 V bandgap reference drives VCM and enables input ranges of ±0.5 V or ±1 V depending on SENSE pin voltage.
It features a dedicated clock duty cycle stabilizer (enabled via MODE pin biasing), shutdown and nap modes reducing power to 2 mW and 15 mW respectively, and separate OVDD (0.5 V–3.6 V) for logic-level flexibility. The sample-and-hold has 0.25 LSBRMS transition noise and 0.2 psRMS aperture jitter.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage in measurement-critical systems. |
| Sample Rate | 10 Msps maximum - supports Nyquist-limited baseband bandwidth up to 5 MHz for communications and imaging applications. |
| SNR / SFDR | 71.3 dB SNR and 90 dB SFDR at 5 MHz - enables high dynamic range digitization of weak signals amid strong interferers. |
| Power Dissipation | 60 mW typical at 10 Msps - allows thermal-constrained portable and battery-assisted instrumentation designs. |
| Input Bandwidth | 575 MHz full-power bandwidth - preserves fidelity of fast-rising RF and IF signals without external anti-alias filtering penalties. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.3 LSB INL and ±0.15 LSB DNL (typ) - ensures accurate amplitude linearity for precision spectroscopy and calibration-grade acquisition. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V–3.4 V analog supply (VDD); 0.5 V–3.6 V digital output supply (OVDD) - decouples logic interface voltage from analog rail for mixed-voltage system integration. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead (5 mm × 5 mm) plastic QFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 33), requiring soldering to PCB for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input pair | Accepts ±0.5 V or ±1 V differential signal centered at 1.5 V common mode; supports transformer or amplifier drive topologies. |
| REFH, REFL | ADC reference high/low terminals | Internally generated differential reference; must be shorted in pairs and bypassed with 0.1 µF + 2.2 µF ceramics per datasheet layout rules. |
| VDD (Pins 7, 32) | Analog supply | Single 3 V rail powers core ADC and S/H; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypassing at each pin. |
| CLK | Sampling clock input | Single-ended CMOS/TTL-compatible; rising edge initiates sampling; duty cycle stabilizer optional via MODE pin. |
| SHDN, OE | Power management control | SHDN + OE combination selects normal, nap (15 mW), or shutdown (2 mW) modes - critical for power-gated systems. |
| D0–D11 | Parallel digital outputs | 12-bit MSB-first parallel data bus; output voltage swing referenced to OVDD (configurable 0.5–3.6 V). |
| MODE | Output format & stabilizer control | Selects offset binary/2's complement and enables/disables clock duty cycle stabilizer via resistive divider to VDD/GND. |
| SENSE | Input range programming | Setting SENSE = VCM selects ±0.5 V range; SENSE = VDD selects ±1 V range - directly configures full-scale without external components. |
| VCM | 1.5 V common-mode output | Provides precise DC bias for external driver circuits; must be bypassed with ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| OF | Over/underflow flag | Active-high indicator when input exceeds ±1 V (2 V range) or ±0.5 V (1 V range) - enables real-time clipping detection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flexible input range selection | ±0.5 V or ±1 V differential full-scale set by SENSE pin voltage - eliminates need for external gain stages in multi-range instruments. |
| Integrated clock duty cycle stabilizer | Enables high AC performance with non-50% input clocks via internal PLL - removes external clock conditioning circuitry in space-constrained designs. |
| Low-power operation modes | Shutdown (2 mW) and nap (15 mW) states reduce system power during idle intervals - extends battery life in portable test equipment. |
| Separate digital output supply (OVDD) | Supports interfacing to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V logic without level shifters - simplifies integration into heterogeneous digital subsystems. |
| On-chip 1.5 V reference and VCM generator | Provides stable common-mode bias and reference for external drivers - improves noise immunity and reduces component count in differential front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS5273IPFP | 12-bit, 10 Msps, 70.5 dB SNR, 3.3 V supply only, no internal reference, 48-pin HTQFP | Requires external reference and driver; higher pin count increases PCB area and routing complexity | Choose if existing design uses TI ecosystem and needs pin-compatible upgrade path within ADS52xx family |
| MAX1127EUB+ | 12-bit, 10 Msps, 69.5 dB SNR, 2.7–3.6 V supply, integrated reference, 10-bit-compatible 32-pin QFN | Slightly lower SNR and SFDR; lacks clock duty cycle stabilizer and nap mode | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial DAQ where 1.8 dB SNR margin is acceptable and duty cycle stabilization is unnecessary |
Compared with ADS5273IPFP and MAX1127EUB+, the LTC2225CUH#PBF delivers superior SNR/SFDR, integrated clock stabilization, and lower power in identical 32-pin QFN packaging - making it optimal for portable, high-fidelity acquisition where signal integrity and board space are constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2225CUH#PBF?
The LTC2225CUH#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (C-grade). This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table where "LTC2225C" denotes the commercial temperature grade. It is not rated for industrial (–40°C to 85°C) or extended ranges unless explicitly ordered as LTC2225IUH#PBF.
Does the LTC2225CUH#PBF require external reference components?
No, the LTC2225CUH#PBF integrates a 1.5 V bandgap reference and programmable differential reference buffers. External components are only required for bypassing: 0.1 µF + 2.2 µF ceramics on REFH/REFL and ≥2.2 µF on VCM. No external reference IC or resistor network is needed for standard ±0.5 V or ±1 V operation.
How does the MODE pin affect the LTC2225CUH#PBF functionality?
The MODE pin on the LTC2225CUH#PBF controls both output data format (offset binary or 2's complement) and clock duty cycle stabilizer enable/disable. Ground = offset binary + stabilizer off; 1/3 VDD = offset binary + stabilizer on; 2/3 VDD = 2's complement + stabilizer on; VDD = 2's complement + stabilizer off - all configurations are validated in the Functional Description section.
Can the LTC2225CUH#PBF operate with a single-ended analog input?
Yes, the LTC2225CUH#PBF supports single-ended drive: connect AIN+ to signal and AIN– to VCM (1.5 V). However, this degrades harmonic distortion and INL while preserving SNR and DNL. The datasheet explicitly confirms this capability in the "Single-Ended Input" subsection of Applications Information.
What is the purpose of the OF (overflow) pin on the LTC2225CUH#PBF?
The OF pin on the LTC2225CUH#PBF is an active-high over/underflow flag that asserts when the analog input exceeds the selected full-scale range (±1 V for 2 V range, ±0.5 V for 1 V range). It provides real-time saturation detection without requiring post-processing, enabling immediate gain adjustment or alert generation in closed-loop systems.
