Product details
Overview
LTC2226IUH#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 25Msps low-power 3V analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-dynamic-range signal digitization in imaging and communications systems. It delivers 71.4dB SNR and 90dB SFDR at Nyquist, features ±0.3LSB typical INL, 575MHz full-power bandwidth, and operates from a single 3V supply with separate OVDD for flexible logic interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2226IUH#PBF datasheet, LTC2226IUH#PBF pinout, LTC2226IUH#PBF application, or LTC2226IUH#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 25Msps sample rate, 2VP-P differential input range, clock duty cycle stabilizer, shutdown/nap modes, and QFN-32 package compatibility within the LTC2228/LTC2227/LTC2226 family.
Technical Context
The LTC2226IUH#PBF implements a six-stage CMOS pipelined ADC architecture with digital correction logic, achieving 5-cycle pipeline latency and aperture jitter of 0.2psRMS. Its sample-and-hold uses differential NMOS-switched 4pF sampling capacitors with 575MHz bandwidth and supports both differential and single-ended analog drive.
It integrates a programmable reference system with SENSE and VCM pins enabling ±0.5V to ±1V input ranges, internal 1.5V common-mode bias, and configurable output format (offset binary or 2's complement). Clock control includes a duty cycle stabilizer activated via MODE pin voltage thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage in precision measurement. |
| Sample Rate | 25Msps - enables baseband digitization of signals up to 12.5MHz per Nyquist criterion. |
| SNR | 71.4dB (typ, 5MHz input) - supports >11.5 effective bits for high-fidelity spectral analysis. |
| SFDR | 90dB (2nd/3rd harmonic, 5MHz input) - suppresses spurious content critical for multi-tone communication receivers. |
| Power Dissipation | 75mW (typ, VDD = 3V) - enables portable and thermally constrained instrumentation designs. |
| Input Bandwidth | 575MHz full-power - preserves transient fidelity for fast-rising pulses in ultrasound and radar front-ends. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.3LSB (typ) / ±0.15LSB (typ) - ensures linearity-critical applications like medical imaging maintain spatial accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 33) soldered to PCB ground. Pin 1 marked by dot; top-side markings include "2226" and temperature grade indicator.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input pair | Accepts ±0.5V to ±1V differential signal; requires matched layout for optimal CMRR & SFDR. |
| REFH, REFL | ADC reference voltage terminals | Shorted pairs; require 0.1μF + 2.2μF ceramic bypassing to minimize reference noise coupling. |
| CLK | Single-ended sampling clock input | Positive-edge triggered; supports duty cycle stabilizer when MODE pin biased to 1/3 VDD. |
| SHDN, OE | Power management control inputs | Enable three low-power states: normal (SHDN=L, OE=L), nap (SHDN=H, OE=L), shutdown (SHDN=H, OE=H). |
| D0–D11 | Parallel digital output bus | 12-bit MSB-first LVCMOS outputs; level-shifted by OVDD (0.5V–3.6V) for direct interface to FPGAs or ASICs. |
| SENSE, VCM | Reference and common-mode programming | SENSE selects input range (±0.5V to ±1V); VCM provides 1.5V ±25ppm/°C bias for differential driver termination. |
| OF | Over/underflow flag output | Active-high indication of input exceeding selected full-scale range - used for AGC or clipping detection. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS5272IPFP | 12-bit, 40Msps, 72dB SNR, 84dB SFDR, 32-pin HTQFP, 3.3V supply only | Higher speed but lower SFDR; lacks clock duty cycle stabilizer and flexible input range | Select for cost-sensitive 40Msps systems where SFDR >84dB suffices and board space allows HTQFP |
| LTC2246IUH#PBF | 14-bit, 25Msps, 74dB SNR, 88dB SFDR, same QFN-32 package and pinout | Higher resolution but slightly lower SFDR; shares identical footprint, power, and interface | Select when ENOB >12 bits is required and 88dB SFDR meets system spurious budget |
Compared with ADS5272IPFP and LTC2246IUH#PBF, the LTC2226IUH#PBF offers superior SFDR for multi-tone communication signals and unique input range flexibility, while maintaining identical QFN-32 packaging and lower power than the 14-bit variant - making it optimal for 25Msps applications prioritizing spurious-free dynamic range and power efficiency.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2226IUH#PBF?
The LTC2226IUH#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature operation, as indicated by the "I" grade suffix in the part number. This range is validated across all AC and DC specifications including SNR, SFDR, INL, and power consumption - ensuring reliable performance in outdoor or thermally uncontrolled environments where the LTC2226IUH#PBF is deployed.
Does the LTC2226IUH#PBF support single-ended analog input?
Yes, the LTC2226IUH#PBF supports single-ended analog input, though differential drive is recommended for optimal harmonic distortion and CMRR. When driven single-ended, AIN– must be tied to VCM (1.5V), and SNR/SFDR degrade by ~1–2dB compared to differential mode - a trade-off documented in the LTC2226IUH#PBF datasheet for cost-sensitive applications where layout simplicity outweighs peak performance.
How does the MODE pin configure output format and clock stabilization on the LTC2226IUH#PBF?
The MODE pin on the LTC2226IUH#PBF sets both output coding and clock duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) state: GND = offset binary + DCS off; 1/3 VDD = offset binary + DCS on; 2/3 VDD = 2's complement + DCS on; VDD = 2's complement + DCS off. This dual-function pin eliminates external configuration logic and allows runtime reconfiguration of the LTC2226IUH#PBF in field-upgradable systems.
What is the purpose of the OF (Over/Under Flow) pin on the LTC2226IUH#PBF?
The OF pin on the LTC2226IUH#PBF is an active-high output that asserts when the analog input exceeds the selected full-scale range (±0.5V or ±1V), indicating clipping or saturation. It is used in automatic gain control (AGC) loops and diagnostic firmware to dynamically adjust front-end amplifier gain - ensuring the LTC2226IUH#PBF operates within its linear region during signal acquisition.
Can the LTC2226IUH#PBF be used with OVDD = 1.8V for interfacing to modern FPGAs?
Yes, the LTC2226IUH#PBF supports OVDD from 0.5V to 3.6V, including 1.8V, enabling direct connection to 1.8V FPGA I/O banks without level shifters. At OVDD = 1.8V, VOH is guaranteed ≥1.79V and VOL ≤0.09V under 1.6mA load - meeting LVCMOS18 voltage thresholds and reducing BOM count and signal integrity risk in the LTC2226IUH#PBF interface path.
