2209fb
16-Bit, 160Msps ADC
The LTC
®
2209 is a 160Msps 16-bit A/D converter designed
for digitizing high frequency, wide dynamic range signals
with input frequencies up to 700MHz. The input range of
the ADC can be optimized with the PGA front end.
The LTC2209 is perfect for demanding communications
applications, with AC performance that includes 77.3dBFS
Noise Floor and 100dB spurious free dynamic range
(SFDR). Ultra low jitter of 70fsRMS allows undersampling
of high input frequencies with excellent noise performance.
Maximum DC specs include ±5.5LSB INL, ±1LSB DNL (no
missing codes).
The digital output can be either differential LVDS or
single-ended CMOS. There are two format options for
the CMOS outputs: a single bus running at the full data
rate or demultiplexed busses running at half data rate. A
separate output power supply allows the CMOS output
swing to range from 0.5V to 3.6V.
The ENC+ and ENC inputs may be driven differentially
or single-ended with a sine wave, PECL, LVDS, TTL or
CMOS inputs. An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer al-
lows high performance at full speed with a wide range of
clock duty cycles.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may
cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute Maximum
Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to GND, with GND and OGND
shorted (unless otherwise noted).
Note 3: When these pin voltages are taken below GND or above VDD, they
will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents
of greater than 100mA below GND or above VDD without latchup.
Note 4: VDD = 3.3V, fSAMPLE = 160MHz, LVDS outputs, differential ENC+/
ENC = 2VP-P sine wave with 1.6V common mode, input range = 2.25VP-P
with differential drive (PGA = 0), unless otherwise specified.
Note 5: Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a “best
fit straight line” to the transfer curve. The deviation is measured from the
center of the quantization band.
Note 6: Offset error is the offset voltage measured from –1/2LSB when the
output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111
1111 in 2’s complement output mode.
Note 7: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 8: Recommended operating conditions.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion Ratio
The signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio [S/(N+D)] is the
ratio between the RMS amplitude of the fundamental input
frequency and the RMS amplitude of all other frequency
components at the ADC output. The output is band lim-
ited to frequencies above DC to below half the sampling
frequency.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
The signal-to-noise (SNR) is the ratio between the RMS
amplitude of the fundamental input frequency and the RMS
amplitude of all other frequency components, except the
first five harmonics.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the RMS sum
of all harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental
itself. The out-of-band harmonics alias into the frequency
band between DC and half the sampling frequency. THD
is expressed as:
THD =20Log V22+V32+V42+...VN2
( )
/ V1
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental fre-
quency and V2 through VN are the amplitudes of the second
through nth harmonics.
Intermodulation Distortion
If the ADC input signal consists of more than one spectral
component, the ADC transfer function nonlinearity can
produce intermodulation distortion (IMD) in addition to
THD. IMD is the change in one sinusoidal input caused
by the presence of another sinusoidal input at a different
frequency.
If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are applied
to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer function
can create distortion products at the sum and difference
frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
For example, the 3rd order IMD terms include (2fa + fb),
(fa + 2fb), (2fa - fb) and (fa - 2fb). The 3rd order IMD is
defined as the ration of the RMS value of either input tone
to the RMS value of the largest 3rd order IMD product.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The ratio of the RMS input signal amplitude to the RMS
value of the peak spurious spectral component expressed
in dBc. SFDR may also be calculated relative to full scale
and expressed in dBFS.
Full Power Bandwidth
The Full Power bandwidth is that input frequency at which
the amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced
by 3dB for a full scale input signal.
Aperture Delay Time
The time from when a rising ENC+ equals the ENCvoltage
to the instant that the input signal is held by the sample-
and-hold circuit.
Aperture Delay Jitter
The variation in the aperture delay time from conversion
to conversion. This random variation will result in noise
when sampling an AC input. The signal to noise ratio due
to the jitter alone will be:
SNRJITTER = –20log (2π • fIN • tJITTER)

CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2209 is a CMOS pipelined multistep converter
with a front-end PGA. As shown in Figure 1, the converter
has five pipelined ADC stages; a sampled analog input
will result in a digitized value seven cycles later (see the
Timing Diagram section). The analog input is differential for
improved common mode noise immunity and to maximize
the input range. Additionally, the differential input drive
will reduce even order harmonics of the sample and hold
circuit. The encode input is also differential for improved
common mode noise immunity.
The LTC2209 has two phases of operation, determined
by the state of the differential ENC+/ENC input pins. For
brevity, the text will refer to ENC+ greater than ENC as
ENC high and ENC+ less than ENC as ENC low.
Each pipelined stage shown in Figure 1 contains an ADC,
a reconstruction DAC and an interstage amplifier. In op-
eration, the ADC quantizes the input to the stage and the
quantized value is subtracted from the input by the DAC
to produce a residue. The residue is amplified and output
by the residue amplifier. Successive stages operate out of
phase so that when odd stages are outputting their residue,
the even stages are acquiring that residue and vice versa.
When ENC is low, the analog input is sampled differen-
tially directly onto the input sample-and-hold capacitors,
inside the “input S/H” shown in the block diagram. At the
instant that ENC transitions from low to high, the voltage
on the sample capacitors is held. While ENC is high, the
held input voltage is buffered by the S/H amplifier which
drives the first pipelined ADC stage. The first stage acquires
the output of the S/H amplifier during the high phase of
ENC. When ENC goes back low, the first stage produces
its residue which is acquired by the second stage. At the
same time, the input S/H goes back to acquiring the analog
input. When ENC goes high, the second stage produces
its residue which is acquired by the third stage. An identi-
cal process is repeated for the third and fourth stages,
resulting in a fourth stage residue that is sent to the fifth
stage for final evaluation.
Each ADC stage following the first has additional range to
accommodate flash and amplifier offset errors. Results
from all of the ADC stages are digitally delayed such that
the results can be properly combined in the correction
logic before being sent to the output buffer.
SAMPLE/HOLD OPERATION AND INPUT DRIVE
Sample/Hold Operation
Figure 2 shows an equivalent circuit for the LTC2209 CMOS
differential sample and hold. The differential analog inputs
are sampled directly onto sampling capacitors (CSAMPLE)
through NMOS transistors. The capacitors shown attached
to each input (CPARASITIC) are the summation of all other
capacitance associated with each input.
During the sample phase when ENC is low, the NMOS
transistors connect the analog inputs to the sampling
capacitors and they charge to, and track the differential
input voltage. When ENC transitions from low to high, the
sampled input voltage is held on the sampling capacitors.
During the hold phase when ENC is high, the sampling
capacitors are disconnected from the input and the held
voltage is passed to the ADC core for processing. As ENC
transitions from high to low, the inputs are reconnected to
the sampling capacitors to acquire a new sample. Since
the sampling capacitors still hold the previous sample,
a charging glitch proportional to the change in voltage
between samples will be seen at this time. If the change
between the last sample and the new sample is small,
the charging glitch seen at the input will be small. If the

input change is large, such as the change seen with input
frequencies near Nyquist, then a larger charging glitch
will be seen.
Common Mode Bias
The ADC sample-and-hold circuit requires differential
drive to achieve specified performance. Each input should
swing ±0.5625V for the 2.25V range (PGA = 0) or ±0.375V
for the 1.5V range (PGA = 1), around a common mode
voltage of 1.25V. The VCM output pin (Pin 3) is designed
to provide the common mode bias level. VCM can be tied
directly to the center tap of a transformer to set the DC
input level or as a reference level to an op amp differential
driver circuit. The VCM pin must be bypassed to ground
close to the ADC with 2.2µF or greater.
Input Drive Impedance
As with all high performance, high speed ADCs the dy-
namic performance of the LTC2209 can be influenced
by the input drive circuitry, particularly the second and
third harmonics. Source impedance and input reactance
can influence SFDR. At the falling edge of ENC the
sample and hold circuit will connect the 4.6pF sampling
capacitor to the input pin and start the sampling period.
The sampling period ends when ENC rises, holding the
sampled input on the sampling capacitor. Ideally, the
input circuitry should be fast enough to fully charge
the sampling capacitor during the sampling period
1/(2F encode); however, this is not always possible and the
incomplete settling may degrade the SFDR. The sampling
glitch has been designed to be as linear as possible to
minimize the effects of incomplete settling.
INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS
Input Filtering
A first order RC low pass filter at the input of the ADC can
serve two functions: limit the noise from input circuitry and
provide isolation from ADC S/H switching. The LTC2209
has a very broadband S/H circuit, DC to 700MHz; it can
be used in a wide range of applications; therefore, it is
not possible to provide a single recommended RC filter.
Figures 3, 4a and 4b show three examples of input RC
filtering at three ranges of input frequencies. In general
it is desirable to make the capacitors as large as can be
tolerated—this will help suppress random noise as well
as noise coupled from the digital circuitry. The LTC2209
does not require any input filter to achieve data sheet
specifications; however, no filtering will put more stringent
noise requirements on the input drive circuitry.
Transformer Coupled Circuits
Figure 3 shows the LTC2209 being driven by an RF trans-
former with a center-tapped secondary. The secondary
center tap is DC biased with VCM, setting the ADC input
signal at its optimum DC level. Figure 3 shows a 1:1 turns
ratio transformer. Other turns ratios can be used; however,
as the turns ratio increases so does the impedance seen by
the ADC. Source impedance greater than 50Ω can reduce
the input bandwidth and increase high frequency distor-
tion. A disadvantage of using a transformer is the loss of
low frequency response. Most small RF transformers have
poor performance at frequencies below 1MHz.
Center-tapped transformers provide a convenient means
of DC biasing the secondary; however, they often show
poor balance at high input frequencies, resulting in large
2nd order harmonics.

tors are added at the ground and input primary terminals

Reference Operation
Figure 6 shows the LTC2209 reference circuitry consisting
of a 2.5V bandgap reference, a programmable gain ampli-
fier and control circuit. The LTC2209 has three modes of
Figure 6. Reference Circuit
reference operation: Internal Reference, 1.25V external
reference or 2.5V external reference. To use the internal
reference, tie the SENSE pin to VDD. To use an external
reference, simply apply either a 1.25V or 2.5V reference
voltage to the SENSE input pin. Both 1.25V and 2.5V applied
to SENSE will result in a full scale range of 2.25VP-P (PGA
= 0). A 1.25V output, VCM is provided for a common mode
bias for input drive circuitry. An external bypass capacitor is
required for the VCM output. This provides a high frequency
low impedance path to ground for internal and external
circuitry. This is also the compensation capacitor for the
reference; it will not be stable without this capacitor. The
minimum value required for stability is 2.2µF.
Direct Coupled Circuits
Figure 5 demonstrates the use of a differential amplifier to
convert a single ended input signal into a differential input
signal. The advantage of this method is that it provides
low frequency input response; however, the limited gain
bandwidth of any op amp or closed-loop amplifier will
degrade the ADC SFDR at high input frequencies. Addi-
tionally, wideband op amps or differential amplifiers tend
to have high noise. As a result, the SNR will be degraded
unless the noise bandwidth is limited prior to the ADC input.

The internal programmable gain amplifier provides the
internal reference voltage for the ADC. This amplifier has
very stringent settling requirements and is not accessible
for external use.
The SENSE pin can be driven ±5% around the nominal 2.5V
or 1.25V external reference inputs. This adjustment range
can be used to trim the ADC gain error or other system
gain errors. When selecting the internal reference, the
SENSE pin should be tied to VDD as close to the converter
as possible. If the sense pin is driven externally it should
be bypassed to ground as close to the device as possible
with 1µF ceramic capacitor.
Figure 7. A 2.25V Range ADC with
an External 2.5V Reference
In applications where jitter is critical (high input frequen-
cies), take the following into consideration:
1. Differential drive should be used.
2. Use as large an amplitude possible. If using trans-
former coupling, use a higher turns ratio to increase the
amplitude.
3. If the ADC is clocked with a fixed frequency sinusoidal
signal, filter the encode signal to reduce wideband noise.
4. Balance the capacitance and series resistance at both
encode inputs such that any coupled noise will appear
at both inputs as common mode noise.
The encode inputs have a common mode range of 1.2V
to VDD. Each input may be driven from ground to VDD for
single-ended drive.
PGA Pin
The PGA pin selects between two gain settings for the
ADC front-end. PGA = 0 selects an input range of 2.25VP-
P; PGA = 1 selects an input range of 1.5VP-P. The 2.25V
input range has the best SNR; however, the distortion will
be higher for input frequencies above 100MHz. For ap-
plications with high input frequencies, the low input range
will have improved distortion; however, the SNR will be
1.8dB worse. See the typical performance curves section.
Driving the Encode Inputs
The noise performance of the LTC2209 can depend on
the encode signal quality as much as for the analog input.
The encode inputs are intended to be driven differentially,
primarily for noise immunity from common mode noise
sources. Each input is biased through a 6k resistor to a
1.6V bias. The bias resistors set the DC operating point
for transformer coupled drive circuits and can set the logic
threshold for single-ended drive circuits.
Any noise present on the encode signal will result in ad-
ditional aperture jitter that will be RMS summed with the
inherent ADC aperture jitter.

The lower limit of the LTC2209 sample rate is determined
by droop of the sample and hold circuits. The pipelined
architecture of this ADC relies on storing analog signals on
small valued capacitors. Junction leakage will discharge
the capacitors. The specified minimum operating frequency
for the LTC2209 is 1Msps.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Digital Output Modes
The LTC2209 can operate in four digital output modes:
standard LVDS, low power LVDS, full rate CMOS, and
demultiplexed CMOS. The LVDS pin selects the mode of
operation. This pin has a four level logic input, centered at
0, 1/3VDD, 2/3VDD and VDD. An external resistor divider can
be used to set the 1/3VDD and 2/3VDD logic levels. Table 1
shows the logic states for the LVDS pin.

LVDS Digital Output Mode
0V(GND) Full-Rate CMOS
1/3VDD Demultiplexed CMOS

VDD LVDS
Digital Output Buffers (CMOS Modes)
Figure 11 shows an equivalent circuit for a single output
buffer in CMOS Mode, Full-Rate or Demultiplexed. Each
buffer is powered by OVDD and OGND, isolated from the
ADC power and ground. The additional N-channel transistor
in the output driver allows operation down to low voltages.
The internal resistor in series with the output makes the
output appear as 50Ω to external circuitry and eliminates
the need for external damping resistors.
As with all high speed/high resolution converters, the
digital output loading can affect the performance. The
digital outputs of the LTC2209 should drive a minimum
capacitive load to avoid possible interaction between the
digital outputs and sensitive input circuitry. The output
should be buffered with a device such as a ALVCH16373
CMOS latch. For full speed operation the capacitive load
should be kept under 10pF. A resistor in series with the
output may be used but is not required since the ADC has
a series resistor of 43Ω on chip.
Figure 10. ENC Drive Using a CMOS to PECL Translator
Maximum and Minimum Encode Rates
The maximum encode rate for the LTC2209 is 160Msps.
For the ADC to operate properly the encode signal should
have a 50% (±5%) duty cycle. Each half cycle must have at
least 3.65ns for the ADC internal circuitry to have enough
settling time for proper operation. Achieving a precise 50%
duty cycle is easy with differential sinusoidal drive using
a transformer or using symmetric differential logic such
as PECL or LVDS. When using a single-ended ENCODE
signal asymmetric rise and fall times can result in duty
cycles that are far from 50%.
An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer can be used if the
input clock does not have a 50% duty cycle. This circuit
uses the rising edge of ENC pin to sample the analog input.
The falling edge of ENC is ignored and an internal falling
edge is generated by a phase-locked loop. The input clock
duty cycle can vary from 30% to 70% and the clock duty
cycle stabilizer will maintain a constant 50% internal duty
cycle. If the clock is turned off for a long period of time,
the duty cycle stabilizer circuit will require one hundred
clock cycles for the PLL to lock onto the input clock. To
use the clock duty cycle stabilizer, the MODE pin must be
connected to 1/3VDD or 2/3VDD using external resistors.

resistor, even if the signal is not used (such as OF+/OF
or CLKOUT+/CLKOUT). To minimize noise the PC board
traces for each LVDS output pair should be routed close
together. To minimize clock skew all LVDS PC board traces
should have about the same length.
In Low Power LVDS Mode 1.75mA is steered between
the differential outputs, resulting in ±175mV at the LVDS
receivers 100Ω termination resistor. The output common
mode voltage is 1.20V, the same as standard LVDS Mode.
Data Format
The LTC2209 parallel digital output can be selected for offset
binary or 2’s complement format. The format is selected
with the MODE pin. This pin has a four level logic input,
centered at 0, 1/3VDD, 2/3VDD and VDD. An external resis-
tor divider can be user to set the 1/3VDD and 2/3VDD logic
levels. Table 2 shows the logic states for the MODE pin.

pair. A 3.5mA current is steered from OUT+ to OUT or
vice versa, which creates a ±350mV differential voltage
across the 100Ω termination resistor at the LVDS receiver.
A feedback loop regulates the common mode output volt-
age to 1.20V. For proper operation each LVDS output pair
must be terminated with an external 100Ω termination

Overflow Bit
An overflow output bit (OF) indicates when the converter
is over-ranged or under-ranged. In CMOS mode, a logic
high on the OFA pin indicates an overflow or underflow on
the A data bus, while a logic high on the OFB pin indicates
an overflow on the B data bus. In LVDS mode, a differen-
tial logic high on OF+/OF pins indicates an overflow or
underflow.
Output Clock
The ADC has a delayed version of the encode input avail-
able as a digital output, CLKOUT. The CLKOUT pin can
be used to synchronize the converter data to the digital
system. This is necessary when using a sinusoidal en-
code. In both CMOS modes, A bus data will be updated
as CLKOUTA falls and CLKOUTB rises. In demultiplexed
CMOS mode the B bus data will be updated as CLKOUTA
falls and CLKOUTB rises.
In Full Rate CMOS Mode, only the A data bus is active;
data may be latched on the rising edge of CLKOUTA or
the falling edge of CLKOUTB.
In demultiplexed CMOS mode CLKOUTA and CLKOUTB
will toggle at 1/2 the frequency of the encode signal. Both
the A bus and the B bus may be latched on the rising edge
of CLKOUTA or the falling edge of CLKOUTB.
Digital Output Randomizer
Interference from the ADC digital outputs is sometimes
unavoidable. Interference from the digital outputs may be
from capacitive or inductive coupling or coupling through
the ground plane. Even a tiny coupling factor can result in
discernible unwanted tones in the ADC output spectrum.
By randomizing the digital output before it is transmitted
off chip, these unwanted tones can be randomized, trading
a slight increase in the noise floor for a large reduction in
unwanted tone amplitude.
The digital output is “Randomized” by applying an exclu-
sive-OR logic operation between the LSB and all other data
output bits. To decode, the reverse operation is applied;
that is, an exclusive-OR operation is applied between the
LSB and all other bits. The LSB, OF and CLKOUT output
are not affected. The output Randomizer function is active
when the RAND pin is high.
Output Driver Power
Separate output power and ground pins allow the output
drivers to be isolated from the analog circuitry. The power
supply for the digital output buffers, OVDD, should be tied
to the same power supply as for the logic being driven.
For example, if the converter is driving a DSP powered
by a 1.8V supply, then OVDD should be tied to that same
1.8V supply. In CMOS mode OVDD can be powered with
any logic voltage up to the 3.6V. OGND can be powered
with any voltage from ground up to 1V and must be less
than OVDD. The logic outputs will swing between OGND
and OVDD. In LVDS Mode, OVDD should be connected to
a 3.3V supply and OGND should be connected to GND.

Figure 14. Descrambling a Scrambled Digital Output
Internal Dither
The LTC2209 is a 16-bit ADC with a very linear transfer
function; however, at low input levels even slight imperfec-
tions in the transfer function will result in unwanted tones.
Small errors in the transfer function are usually a result
of ADC element mismatches. An optional internal dither
mode can be enabled to randomize the input location on
the ADC transfer curve, resulting in improved SFDR for
low signal levels.
As shown in Figure 15, the output of the sample-and-hold
amplifier is summed with the output of a dither DAC. The
dither DAC is driven by a long sequence pseudo-random
number generator; the random number fed to the dither
DAC is also subtracted from the ADC result. If the dither
DAC is precisely calibrated to the ADC, very little of the
dither signal will be seen at the output. The dither signal
that does leak through will appear as white noise. The dither
DAC is calibrated to result in less than 0.5dB elevation in
the noise floor of the ADC, as compared to the noise floor
with dither off.

Grounding and Bypassing
The LTC2209 requires a printed circuit board with a
clean unbroken ground plane; a multilayer board with an
internal ground plane is recommended. The pinout of the
LTC2209 has been optimized for a flowthrough layout so
that the interaction between inputs and digital outputs is
minimized. Layout for the printed circuit board should
ensure that digital and analog signal lines are separated
as much as possible. In particular, care should be taken
not to run any digital track alongside an analog signal
track or underneath the ADC.
High quality ceramic bypass capacitors should be used
at the VDD, VCM, and OVDD pins. Bypass capacitors must
be located as close to the pins as possible. The traces
connecting the pins and bypass capacitors must be kept
short and should be made as wide as possible.
The LTC2209 differential inputs should run parallel and
close to each other. The input traces should be as short
as possible to minimize capacitance and to minimize
noise pickup.
Heat Transfer
Most of the heat generated by the LTC2209 is transferred
from the die through the bottom-side exposed pad. For
good electrical and thermal performance, the exposed
pad must be soldered to a large grounded pad on the PC
board. It is critical that the exposed pad and all ground
pins are connected to a ground plane of sufficient area
with as many vias as possible.
