Product details
Overview
LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit, 105 Msps low-power analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-dynamic-range signal digitization in communications infrastructure. It delivers 73.4 dB SNR, 85 dB SFDR, and ultralow 0.17 psRMS aperture jitter at 105 Msps, with full-power bandwidth of 800 MHz and single 1.8 V supply operation. It serves as the core ADC in software-defined radio receivers and portable medical ultrasound front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF datasheet, LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF pinout, LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF application, or LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 105 Msps sampling rate, DDR LVDS/CMOS output flexibility, 1.8 V analog supply compatibility, integrated clock duty cycle stabilizer, and support for 1–2 VP-P differential input range with external or internal reference.
Technical Context
The LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF implements a 14-bit pipelined ADC architecture with on-chip sample-and-hold, correction logic, and configurable digital output drivers. Its ENC+/ENC– differential clock interface accepts sine wave, PECL, LVDS, TTL, or CMOS inputs, and supports optional duty cycle stabilization for robust timing across wide input duty cycles.
Digital outputs are selectable among full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate (DDR) CMOS, or DDR LVDS modes, with OVDD programmable from 1.2 V to 1.9 V for CMOS or fixed 1.8 V for LVDS. The SPI port enables configuration of randomizer, nap/sleep modes, and output format - all while maintaining pipeline latency of 5.5 cycles in DDR modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with no missing codes over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage in precision measurement systems. |
| Sampling Rate | 105 Msps - enables Nyquist-sampled digitization of IF signals up to 52.5 MHz or undersampling of higher-frequency RF bands. |
| SNR @ 70 MHz | 73.4 dB - provides >12-bit effective resolution for demanding communication receiver applications. |
| SFDR @ 70 MHz | 85 dB - suppresses harmonics and spurs critical for multi-carrier cellular base station channel separation. |
| Aperture Jitter | 0.17 psRMS - limits sampling uncertainty, enabling clean undersampling of 140+ MHz IF signals without SNR degradation. |
| Power Dissipation | 106 mW at 105 Msps (sine input, CMOS mode) - reduces thermal load and simplifies thermal design in dense RF modules. |
| Input Bandwidth | 800 MHz full-power - supports wideband analog front-ends including direct-conversion and zero-IF architectures. |
| Supply Voltage | Single 1.8 V analog (VDD) and independent 1.2–1.9 V digital output (OVDD) - enables I/O voltage scaling and mixed-voltage system integration. |
Pinout & Package
40-lead (6 mm × 6 mm) plastic QFN package (UJ), exposed pad soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin 41 is exposed pad (GND).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input pair | Accepts 1–2 VP-P differential signal; common-mode bias set by internal VCM or external source. |
| ENC+, ENC– | Differential encode clock inputs | Trigger conversion on rising/falling edges; supports wide-duty-cycle clocks via optional stabilizer. |
| VDD (Pins 9, 10, 40) | Analog power supply | 1.8 V ±0.1 V supply requiring local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass per pin for noise-sensitive analog core. |
| OVDD (Pin 26) | Digital output driver supply | Configurable 1.2–1.9 V for CMOS outputs; fixed 1.8 V for LVDS - sets output swing and termination impedance. |
| REFH, REFL (Pins 4, 5, 6, 7) | Reference voltage terminals | Support internal or external reference; require 2.2 µF + 0.1 µF parallel bypassing for stable 1.25 V reference generation. |
| PAR/SER (Pin 8) | Programming mode select | Ground = serial SPI control; VDD = parallel logic control - determines function of CS/SCK/SDI pins. |
| D0–D13, OF | Data and overflow outputs | 14-bit parallel data + overflow flag; pin mapping differs between CMOS (single-ended) and LVDS (differential pairs) modes. |
| SENSE (Pin 39) | Reference and input range programming | Connect to VDD → ±1 V input range; connect to GND → ±0.5 V; apply 0.625–1.3 V for custom external reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optional data output randomizer | Reduces deterministic spectral tones in output data stream - critical for spectral purity in SDR and radar applications. |
| Shutdown and nap modes | Reduces power to 0.5 mW (sleep) or 9 mW (nap) - enables rapid power-state transitions in battery-powered or burst-mode systems. |
| Selectable input ranges (1–2 VP-P) | Matches varying signal chain gain stages without external attenuation or amplification - improves dynamic range utilization. |
| Serial SPI configuration port | Enables runtime reconfiguration of output format, clock features, and power modes - supports adaptive system-level calibration. |
| Pin-compatible family (14-/12-bit) | Allows hardware reuse across performance tiers - LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF shares footprint and pinout with LTC2259-14 and LTC2261-14 variants. |
| 800 MHz full-power analog bandwidth | Supports direct sampling of L-band and S-band IF signals - eliminates need for additional downconversion stages in compact radios. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF?
The LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF is rated for a maximum sampling rate of 105 Msps, as specified in its ordering part number suffix "-14" and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Dynamic Accuracy tables. This rate is guaranteed across the full 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range with proper power supply decoupling and clock signal integrity.
Does the LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF support both CMOS and LVDS digital outputs?
Yes, the LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF supports three output configurations: full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate (DDR) CMOS, and DDR LVDS - selected via the SCK pin in parallel programming mode or SPI register in serial mode. LVDS mode requires OVDD = 1.8 V and enables on-chip 100 Ω termination.
How does the SENSE pin affect the input range of the LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF?
The SENSE pin configures both reference source and input range: tied to VDD → internal reference with ±1 V (2 VP-P) range; tied to GND → internal reference with ±0.5 V (1 VP-P) range; driven with 0.625–1.3 V → external reference with corresponding scaled input range. This allows precise matching to upstream amplifier output swing.
What power savings does the nap mode provide for the LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF?
In nap mode, the LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF draws just 9 mW - a reduction of over 91% versus its 106 mW active power at 105 Msps. Recovery time from nap to full operation is under 1 µs, making it suitable for burst-mode receivers and time-division duplex (TDD) systems.
Is the LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC2259/LTC2260/LTC2261 family?
Yes, the LTC2260CUJ-14#PBF uses the identical 40-pin 6 mm × 6 mm QFN (UJ) package and pinout as the LTC2259-14 and LTC2261-14, including identical power, analog input, clock, and digital I/O assignments. This enables drop-in replacement across 80/105/125 Msps variants without PCB revision.
