Product details
Overview
LTC2271IUKG#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 systems. It delivers 84.1dB SNR, 99dB SFDR, ±1LSB INL (typ), operates at 20Msps on a single 1.8V supply, and features serial LVDS outputs with 1/2/4-lane programmability - enabling low-noise data acquisition in portable medical imaging and software-defined radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2271IUKG#PBF datasheet, LTC2271IUKG#PBF pinout, LTC2271IUKG#PBF application, or LTC2271IUKG#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its differential analog input architecture, 200MHz full-power bandwidth, internal clock duty cycle stabilizer, LVDS output current programmability (1.75mA/3.5mA), and SPI-configurable operating modes for multi-channel synchronization and power optimization.
Technical Context
The LTC2271IUKG#PBF integrates two independent 16-bit ADC cores sharing a common sample-and-hold and encode circuit, ensuring precise channel-to-channel timing alignment. Its analog front-end supports differential inputs with user-selectable common-mode bias via VCM1/VCM2 pins and configurable input ranges (1.0VP-P to 2.1VP-P) through the SENSE pin.
Digital interface logic uses an SPI port (CS/SCK/SDI/SDO) for register configuration, while serial LVDS outputs reduce pin count and EMI - supporting 1-, 2-, or 4-lane serialization per channel with programmable output current and optional on-chip 100Ω termination. The internal PLL and duty cycle stabilizer maintain AC performance across wide encode duty cycle variations.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 52-lead (7mm × 8mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 53 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCM1 (1) | Channel 1 common-mode bias output | Nominally VDD/2; used to set AIN1± DC level - bypass with 1μF capacitor to minimize noise coupling. |

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; JESD204B output instead of LVDS; higher power (320mW); requires 3.3V/1.8V dual supplies. | Targets FPGA-based systems with JESD204B receiver IP; less suitable for legacy LVDS-FPGA or ASIC interfaces. | Select when migrating to high-speed serial interfaces and FPGA resources support JESD204B decoding. |
| LTC2190IUKG#PBF | 25Msps, 16-bit, dual-channel; pin-compatible; lower power (104mW); reduced SFDR (92dB); narrower input bandwidth (120MHz). | Better suited for cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth applications where 200MHz full-power bandwidth is not required. | Choose for drop-in replacement where higher speed is unnecessary and power reduction is prioritized over SFDR. |
Compared with AD9269BCPZ-20 and LTC2190IUKG#PBF, the LTC2271IUKG#PBF uniquely balances 200MHz analog bandwidth, 99dB SFDR, and 185mW power in an LVDS-serial package - making it optimal for portable RF instrumentation where signal fidelity, thermal envelope, and interface simplicity are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2271IUKG#PBF?
The LTC2271IUKG#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, qualifying it for industrial and extended-temperature environments. This specification is explicitly defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and confirmed across all dynamic and DC performance parameters in the datasheet's "l" (full-range) column. The "I" grade designation in the part number directly indicates this industrial temperature range.
Does the LTC2271IUKG#PBF require an external reference voltage?
No, the LTC2271IUKG#PBF includes an internal 1.25V bandgap reference. It supports three configurations: internal reference with ±1.05V input range (SENSE = GND), ±2.1V range (SENSE = VDD), or user-defined range (±0.84 × VSENSE) with external voltage applied to SENSE between 0.625V and 1.30V. External reference use is optional and only needed for specialized calibration or ultra-stable applications.
How many LVDS data lanes does the LTC2271IUKG#PBF support per channel?
The LTC2271IUKG#PBF supports 1, 2, or 4 serialized LVDS data lanes per channel, selectable via SPI register programming or parallel logic (CS/SCK) depending on PAR/SER pin state. In 4-lane mode, each channel outputs four bits per sample clock cycle on dedicated differential pairs (e.g., OUT1A–/+, OUT1B–/+, etc.), reducing data rate per lane and easing timing closure on the receiving FPGA or ASIC.
Can the LTC2271IUKG#PBF accept single-ended encode inputs?
Yes, the LTC2271IUKG#PBF supports single-ended encode operation: tie ENC– to GND and drive ENC+ with a 0–1.8V square wave or sine wave. The datasheet specifies VIH = 1.2V and VIL = 0.6V for this mode, and performance remains within spec - though differential encoding is recommended for best SNR and jitter immunity, especially above 10MHz.
What is the purpose of the FR+ and FR– pins on the LTC2271IUKG#PBF?
The FR+ and FR– pins on the LTC2271IUKG#PBF provide a differential LVDS frame start signal that asserts at the beginning of each new conversion frame. This signal enables precise synchronization across multiple LTC2271IUKG#PBF devices or with downstream logic, ensuring deterministic alignment of sampled data blocks - essential for time-interleaved architectures or multi-board acquisition systems.
