DescripTion
The LTC
2172-12/LTC2171-12/LTC2170-12 are 4-channel,
®
simultaneous sampling 12-bit A/D converters designed for
digitizing high frequency, wide dynamic range signals. They
are perfect for demanding communications applications
with AC performance that includes 71dB SNR and 90dB
spurious free dynamic range (SFDR). An ultralow jitter of
0.15ps
allows undersampling of IF frequencies with
RMS
excellent noise performance.
DC specifications include ±0.3LSB INL (typ), ±0.1LSB
DNL (typ) and no missing codes over temperature. The
transition noise is a low 0.3LSB
The digital outputs are serial LVDS to minimize the num-
ber of data lines. Each channel outputs two bits at a time
(2-lane mode) or one bit at a time (1-lane mode). The LVDS
drivers have optional internal termination and adjustable
output levels to ensure clean signal integrity.
+
and ENC
The ENC
or single-ended with a sine wave, PECL, LVDS, TTL or
CMOS inputs. An internal clock duty cycle stabilizer al-
lows high performance at full speed for a wide range of
clock duty cycles.
