Product details
Overview
LTC2260IUJ-12#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 12-bit, 105 Msps ultralow-power analog-to-digital converter optimized for undersampling IF signals in communications infrastructure. It delivers 70.8 dB SNR, 85 dB SFDR, and 0.17 psRMS aperture jitter with single 1.8 V supply operation, targeting cellular base stations and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2260IUJ-12#PBF datasheet, LTC2260IUJ-12#PBF pinout, LTC2260IUJ-12#PBF application, or LTC2260IUJ-12#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include sampling rate (105 Msps), input bandwidth (800 MHz full-power), output interface flexibility (CMOS/DDR CMOS/DDR LVDS), low-power operation (103 mW typical), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The LTC2260IUJ-12#PBF implements a 12-bit pipelined ADC architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, correction logic, and configurable digital outputs. Its 800 MHz full-power bandwidth supports wideband RF/IF digitization, while optional clock duty cycle stabilizer and data randomizer enhance spectral purity under non-ideal clock conditions.
It supports three digital output modes-full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate CMOS, and double-data-rate LVDS-with separate OVDD supply (1.2 V to 1.9 V) enabling voltage-level optimization. The SPI-configurable serial port allows runtime control of shutdown, nap mode, and input range (1 VP-P to 2 VP-P), with differential or single-ended encode inputs (ENC+/ENC–).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit, no missing codes over temperature - ensures monotonicity and full dynamic range utilization in precision acquisition. |
| Sampling Rate | 105 Msps - enables Nyquist-sampled digitization of signals up to 52.5 MHz or high-fidelity undersampling of IF bands up to ~70 MHz. |
| SNR / SFDR | 70.8 dB / 85 dB at 70 MHz input - provides clean signal capture for demanding wireless standards including LTE and WCDMA. |
| Aperture Jitter | 0.17 psRMS - minimizes noise floor degradation when undersampling multi-MHz IF signals. |
| Power Dissipation | 103 mW typical (sine input, CMOS mode) - reduces thermal load and simplifies thermal design in dense RF front-end modules. |
| Analog Supply | Single 1.8 V (VDD), ±0.1 V tolerance - compatible with modern low-voltage system rails and eliminates need for dual supplies. |
| Input Bandwidth | 800 MHz full-power - supports direct digitization of wideband IF signals without external filtering or gain stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 40-lead (6 mm × 6 mm) plastic QFN (UJ), exposed pad soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN+, AIN– | Differential analog input | Accepts 1–2 VP-P input with 800 MHz bandwidth; common-mode bias set via VCM pin. |
| ENC+, ENC– | Differential encode clock input | Triggers conversion on rising/falling edges; supports PECL/LVDS/TTL/CMOS drive; duty cycle stabilizer enabled via CS. |
| VDD (Pins 9,10,40) | Analog power supply | 1.8 V ±0.1 V supply; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass per pin pair. |
| OVDD (Pin 26) | Digital output supply | Configurable 1.2–1.9 V rail for CMOS output swing or LVDS termination; decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor. |
| D0–D11 | Data outputs | In full-rate CMOS mode: 12 single-ended outputs (MSB = D11); in DDR modes: time-multiplexed pairs (e.g., D0_1, D10_11) or differential LVDS pairs (D0_1+, D0_1–). |
| PAR/SER (Pin 8) | Programming mode select | Ground = serial SPI interface (CS/SCK/SDI/SDO active); VDD = parallel mode (CS/SCK/SDI repurposed for control). |
| SENSE (Pin 39) | Reference programming | Sets input range: VDD → ±1 V; GND → ±0.5 V; external 0.625–1.3 V → ±0.8×VSENSE. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
