Product details
Overview
LTC2249CUH#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit, 80Msps low-power pipelined analog-to-digital converter operating from a single 3V supply. It delivers 73dB SNR and 90dB SFDR at 70MHz input frequency, features a 575MHz full-power bandwidth sample-and-hold, clock duty cycle stabilizer, and shutdown/nap modes. It is used in high-dynamic-range signal digitization for ultrasound imaging and broadband communications.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2249CUH#PBF datasheet, LTC2249CUH#PBF pinout, LTC2249CUH#PBF application, or LTC2249CUH#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include AC performance at Nyquist-plus frequencies, flexible 1VP-P–2VP-P input range configuration via SENSE pin, differential analog input interface with VCM bias, and QFN-32 package thermal and layout compatibility.
Technical Context
The LTC2249CUH#PBF implements a six-stage CMOS pipelined ADC architecture with digital correction logic, achieving 5-cycle pipeline latency and no missing codes over temperature. Its sample-and-hold uses 4pF sampling capacitors with linearized charging glitch design and supports both differential and single-ended analog drive topologies.
It integrates a 1.5V bandgap reference with programmable input range (±0.5V or ±1V differential), configurable output format (offset binary or 2's complement), and independent OVDD supply (0.5V–3.6V) for logic-level flexibility. Clock input accepts CMOS/TTL or sinusoidal signals with optional duty cycle stabilization to maintain AC performance across wide duty cycle variation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with guaranteed no missing codes over 0°C to 70°C operating range |
| Sample Rate | 80Msps maximum - defines real-time bandwidth limit of 40MHz (Nyquist) with usable aliasing-tolerant operation beyond |
| SNR @ 70MHz | 73dBFS - enables detection of signals 107.3× smaller than full scale in noise-limited RF/IF receivers |
| SFDR @ 70MHz | 90dBc - suppresses spurious tones to –90dB relative to fundamental, critical for spectral purity in comms systems |
| Power Dissipation | 222mW typical at 80Msps - allows thermal management in dense mixed-signal PCBs without forced air |
| Input Bandwidth | 575MHz full-power - supports direct RF sampling of L-band and lower S-band signals without external IF stage |
| INL / DNL | ±1LSB / ±0.5LSB typical - ensures linearity-critical applications like medical imaging maintain pixel fidelity |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 33 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input pair | Accepts ±0.5V or ±1V differential swing centered at 1.5V (VCM); high common-mode rejection (80dB) minimizes noise coupling |
| REFH, REFL | ADC reference voltage terminals | Internally generated high/low reference rails; must be bypassed with 0.1µF + 2.2µF ceramics per pin pair for stability |
| VDD (Pins 7, 32) | Analog supply | Single 2.7V–3.4V rail powers core ADC and S/H; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling |
| CLK | Sampling clock input | Positive-edge-triggered; supports duty cycle stabilizer (enabled via MODE pin) to relax clock source requirements |
| SHDN, OE | Power mode control | Combination selects Normal (outputs enabled), Nap (15mW), or Shutdown (2mW); enables dynamic power scaling |
| D0–D13 | Parallel digital outputs | 14-bit offset binary or 2's complement data bus; OVDD-supplied (0.5V–3.6V) for interfacing to FPGA/CPLD I/O banks |
| SENSE | Input range programming | Setting to VCM selects ±0.5V range; to VDD selects ±1V range; intermediate voltages enable custom ranges (e.g., ±0.75V) |
| VCM | 1.5V common-mode bias output | Provides precise DC level for transformer center-tap bias or op-amp driver reference; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic bypass |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flexible input range selection | Configurable ±0.5V or ±1V differential full-scale via SENSE pin voltage - optimizes SNR/SFDR trade-off per system requirement |
| Integrated clock duty cycle stabilizer | Enables high AC performance with non-50% clock sources - eliminates need for external clock conditioners in space-constrained designs |
| Low aperture jitter (0.2ps RMS) | Minimizes sampling-time uncertainty - preserves SNR at high input frequencies (e.g., >70MHz) where jitter dominates noise floor |
| Independent output supply (OVDD) | Supports 0.5V–3.6V logic interface - allows direct connection to 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V FPGA I/O without level shifters |
| Multiple low-power operating modes | Reduces power to 15mW (Nap) or 2mW (Shutdown) - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and enables rapid wake-up |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2248CUH#PBF | 14-bit, 65Msps; 20% lower sample rate; identical pinout and feature set | Better power efficiency (180mW) but reduced Nyquist bandwidth (32.5MHz) | Select when system bandwidth ≤32.5MHz and lower power or cost is prioritized over speed |
| AD9246BCPZ-80 | 14-bit, 80Msps; 72.5dB SNR @ 70MHz; 3.3V-only OVDD; no internal VCM or SENSE-based range control | Requires external common-mode bias and reference circuitry; higher board complexity | Select when existing design uses ADI ecosystem tools or when external reference precision outweighs integrated flexibility |
Compared with LTC2249CUH#PBF, LTC2248CUH#PBF trades speed for lower power and cost in bandwidth-constrained systems, while AD9246BCPZ-80 offers comparable speed but demands more external components for biasing and range setting-increasing BOM count and layout sensitivity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2249CUH#PBF?
The LTC2249CUH#PBF is specified for commercial-grade operation from 0°C to 70°C. This is indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The device maintains full performance-including ±1LSB INL, 73dB SNR, and 90dB SFDR-across this entire range when operated within recommended supply and input conditions.
How does the SENSE pin configure the input range on the LTC2249CUH#PBF?
The SENSE pin on the LTC2249CUH#PBF sets the full-scale differential input range: tying SENSE to VCM selects ±0.5V (1VP-P), tying it to VDD selects ±1V (2VP-P). Intermediate voltages (e.g., 0.75V) yield proportional ranges like ±0.75V. This configuration directly scales the internal reference and affects both SNR (higher at 2VP-P) and SFDR (slightly better at 1VP-P).
Does the LTC2249CUH#PBF support single-ended analog input?
Yes, the LTC2249CUH#PBF supports single-ended input: drive AIN+ with the signal and tie AIN– to VCM (1.5V). However, this degrades harmonic distortion and INL versus differential drive, while preserving SNR and DNL. The datasheet explicitly states that SNR and DNL remain unchanged under single-ended operation, making it viable for cost-sensitive applications where linearity is less critical.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad (Pin 33) on the LTC2249CUH#PBF?
The exposed pad (Pin 33) on the LTC2249CUH#PBF is internally connected to GND and serves dual thermal and electrical functions. It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to system ground to achieve θJA = 34°C/W and prevent junction temperature exceedance. Omitting this connection risks thermal runaway and violates the absolute maximum rating for TJMAX = 125°C.
Can the LTC2249CUH#PBF operate with a 1.8V OVDD supply?
Yes, the LTC2249CUH#PBF supports OVDD from 0.5V to 3.6V, including 1.8V. At OVDD = 1.8V, the digital outputs meet VOH ≥ 1.79V and VOL ≤ 0.09V under load (IO = –200µA / 1.6mA), enabling direct interface to 1.8V FPGA or ASIC I/O banks without level translation. This is verified in the Digital Inputs and Outputs section of the datasheet.
