Product details
Overview
LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 14-bit, 125Msps ultralow-power pipelined ADC optimized for undersampling IF signals in communications infrastructure. It delivers 73.4dB SNR, 85dB SFDR, and 0.17psRMS aperture jitter at 1.8V supply, enabling high-fidelity digitization in cellular base stations and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF datasheet, LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF pinout, LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF application, or LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800MHz full-power bandwidth, selectable CMOS/LVDS DDR outputs, 1.8V single-supply operation, and –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade.
Technical Context
This ADC employs a 14-bit pipelined architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, correction logic, and configurable digital output drivers. Its analog front-end supports differential input ranges from 1VP-P to 2VP-P and features an 800MHz full-power bandwidth S/H stage with 0.17psRMS jitter-critical for high-IF sampling without external clock cleanup.
Digital interface flexibility includes full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate CMOS, or double-data-rate LVDS outputs, each with independent OVDD control (1.2V–1.8V for CMOS; 1.7V–1.9V for LVDS). Configuration is handled via SPI port or parallel mode using PAR/SER, CS, SCK, and SDI pins, supporting shutdown, nap, and clock duty cycle stabilization modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with no missing codes over temperature-ensures monotonicity in precision measurement systems. |
| Sampling Rate | 125Msps maximum-supports wideband signal capture up to Nyquist frequency of 62.5MHz. |
| SNR | 73.4dB at 70MHz input-enables high dynamic range digitization of RF/IF signals in SDRs and base stations. |
| SFDR | 85dB spurious-free dynamic range-minimizes harmonic distortion in multi-tone communication signals. |
| Power Dissipation | 127mW at 125Msps with CMOS outputs-reduces thermal load and simplifies power delivery in dense RF modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS52J90IRGCT | 16-bit, 100Msps; JESD204B serial interface; higher resolution but lower speed and no LVDS option. | Better suited for high-resolution medical imaging where SNR > 75dB is critical and data rate ≤100Msps. | Choose when resolution priority outweighs speed and interface simplicity; requires FPGA with JESD204B PHY. |
| AD9246BCPZ-125 | 14-bit, 125Msps; 1.8V supply; 72.5dB SNR, 84dB SFDR; no internal clock stabilizer or randomizer. | Direct functional match for IF sampling but lacks optional clock duty cycle stabilizer and data randomizer features. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where those features are unused; identical speed, resolution, and package footprint. |
Compared with ADS52J90IRGCT and AD9246BCPZ-125, the LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF uniquely combines 125Msps speed, 73.4dB SNR, 0.17psRMS jitter, and flexible LVDS/CMOS DDR outputs in a single 40-pin QFN-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-performance IF digitization where deterministic latency and low jitter are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF?
The LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed by its "I" grade marking and Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This makes it suitable for outdoor base stations, ruggedized SDR platforms, and portable medical devices exposed to ambient thermal variation.
Does the LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF support both CMOS and LVDS digital outputs?
Yes, the LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF supports three output configurations: full-rate CMOS, double-data-rate CMOS, and double-data-rate LVDS-all selectable via the PAR/SER and SCK pins. LVDS mode uses internal 100Ω termination and operates with OVDD = 1.7–1.9V.
What is the minimum analog input voltage range supported by the LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF?
The LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF supports a selectable differential analog input range of 1VP-P to 2VP-P, as specified in the Analog Input section. The actual range is configured via the SENSE pin and internal reference settings, with 1VP-P being the minimum valid full-scale range.
How does the clock duty cycle stabilizer function in the LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF?
The clock duty cycle stabilizer in the LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF corrects asymmetric encode clocks to maintain optimal sampling window symmetry. It is enabled when CS is high in parallel programming mode and improves AC performance-especially SFDR-at full 125Msps sampling rate with non-50% duty cycle inputs.
Is the LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC226x family?
Yes, the LTC2261IUJ-14#PBF is pin-compatible with the LTC2260-14 and LTC2259-14, as explicitly stated in the Features section. All share the same 40-pin QFN (UJ) package, identical pinout, and compatible interface signaling-enabling drop-in speed-grade migration (125/105/80Msps) without PCB redesign.
