Product details
Overview
LTC2271CUKG#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, simultaneous-sampling 16-bit analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-dynamic-range signal digitization in communications and instrumentation. It delivers 84.1dB SNR, 99dB SFDR, ±1LSB INL (typ), 20Msps sampling rate, and operates from a single 1.8V supply with serial LVDS outputs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2271CUKG#PBF datasheet, LTC2271CUKG#PBF pinout, LTC2271CUKG#PBF application, or LTC2271CUKG#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2-channel simultaneous sampling architecture, programmable 1/2/4-lane LVDS serialization, internal clock duty cycle stabilizer, low-power 185mW operation, and support for differential or single-ended encode inputs across 0°C to 70°C temperature range.
Technical Context
The LTC2271CUKG#PBF integrates two independent 16-bit ADC cores sharing a common sample-and-hold and encode circuit, enabling true simultaneous sampling with <±0.06%FS gain matching and <±1.5mV offset matching. Its internal 1.25V reference supports selectable input ranges (1.05V–2.1VP-P) via the SENSE pin, and the VCM1/VCM2 outputs provide precise 0.9V common-mode bias for differential analog inputs.
Digital interface uses configurable serial LVDS outputs with on-chip 100Ω termination, adjustable 1.75mA/3.5mA output current, and frame/data clock outputs (FR+/FR–, DCO+/DCO–). Configuration is performed via a 3-wire SPI port (CS/SCK/SDI/SDO), supporting shutdown and nap modes that reduce power to 1mW and 50mW respectively.

Pinout & Package
52-lead (7mm × 8mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 53 = GND), requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. Pin functions are fully defined per Linear Technology datasheet 2271f.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCM1 (1), VCM2 (14) | Analog common-mode bias output | Nominally VDD/2 (0.9V); used to bias AIN1±/AIN2± differential inputs - eliminates external bias networks. |
| AIN1+ (3), AIN1– (4), AIN2+ (11), AIN2– (12) | Differential analog input pairs | High-Z CMOS S/H inputs with 17pF capacitance; require 180° phase-matched drive for optimal distortion performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, 16-bit, serial-output ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9269BCPZ-20 | 20Msps, 16-bit, dual-channel; requires separate 3.3V digital supply and external reference; LVDS outputs lack on-chip termination. | Higher power (330mW), less integrated bias/reference - suited for systems with existing 3.3V rails and precision external references. | Choose AD9269BCPZ-20 when higher analog input voltage range (2.048V) or JESD204B interface is required; avoid if single-supply simplicity is critical. |
| LTC2190CUK#PBF | Pin-compatible 16-bit, 25Msps variant; identical QFN-52 package and SPI interface; 104mW lower power but reduced SFDR (92dB vs 99dB). | Optimized for lower-power, slightly lower-performance applications where 25Msps sampling is needed and SFDR margin can be relaxed. | Choose LTC2190CUK#PBF for drop-in replacement where higher speed is prioritized over ultimate spurious performance; verify layout compatibility with same footprint. |
Compared with AD9269BCPZ-20 and LTC2190CUK#PBF, the LTC2271CUKG#PBF offers superior integration (single 1.8V supply, internal reference, on-chip LVDS termination) and best-in-class SFDR for demanding communications applications, at the cost of slightly higher power than the LTC2190.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the LTC2271CUKG#PBF?
The LTC2271CUKG#PBF supports a maximum sampling rate of 20Msps, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings and verified across the full 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. At this rate, it achieves 84.1dB SNR and 99dB SFDR with a 5MHz input tone. Performance remains stable under recommended conditions: VDD = OVDD = 1.8V, 2-lane LVDS output mode, and differential encode input.
Does the LTC2271CUKG#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2271CUKG#PBF includes a precision internal 1.25V reference with ±25ppm/°C drift and 1.23–1.27V output tolerance. The SENSE pin configures input range selection: tying to VDD yields ±1.05V, to GND yields ±0.525V, or applying 0.625–1.30V sets ±0.84×VSENSE. External reference is optional and only needed for specialized calibration requirements beyond internal reference specs.
How many LVDS data lanes does the LTC2271CUKG#PBF support per channel?
The LTC2271CUKG#PBF supports three configurable LVDS serialization modes per channel: 1-lane (16 bits serialized over 16 clock cycles), 2-lane (8 bits over 8 cycles), or 4-lane (4 bits over 4 cycles). Lane count is selected via CS and SCK pins in parallel mode or SPI register writes in serial mode. All modes use the same FR+/FR– frame and DCO+/DCO– clock outputs.
What is the purpose of the VCM1 and VCM2 pins on the LTC2271CUKG#PBF?
VCM1 (Pin 1) and VCM2 (Pin 14) are dedicated analog common-mode bias outputs, each nominally equal to VDD/2 (0.9V at 1.8V supply). They provide low-impedance, temperature-stable DC bias for the AIN1± and AIN2± differential analog inputs respectively. Each must be bypassed to ground with a 1μF ceramic capacitor to maintain optimal THD and SNR performance.
Can the LTC2271CUKG#PBF operate with single-ended encode inputs?
Yes, the LTC2271CUKG#PBF supports single-ended encode operation by tying ENC– (Pin 18) to GND and driving ENC+ (Pin 17) with a 0–3.6V logic signal. In this mode, VIH = 1.2V and VIL = 0.6V at VDD = 1.8V. However, differential encode is recommended for best jitter performance (100fs RMS vs 85fs RMS) and improved noise immunity in RF-dense environments.
