ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 ground with GND and OGND
wired together (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 = 3V, fSAMPLE = 25MHz, input range = 2VP-P with differential
drive, unless otherwise noted.
Note 5: Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 6: Offset error is the offset voltage measured from –0.5 LSB when
the output code flickers between 00 0000 0000 0000 and
11 1111 1111 1111.
Note 7: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 8: VDD = 3V, fSAMPLE = 25MHz, input range = 1VP-P with
differential drive.
Note 9: Recommended operating conditions.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pins 1, 4, 9, 13, 15, 18, 24, 25, 29, 32, 36, 37,
48): ADC Power Ground.
OE (Pin 17): Output Enable Pin. Refer to SHDN pin
function.
AIN+ (Pin 2): Positive Differential Analog Input.
D0-D13 (Pins 19-23, 26-28, 33-35, 38-40): Digital Outputs. D13 is the MSB.
AIN– (Pin 3): Negative Differential Analog Input.
REFH (Pins 5, 6): ADC High Reference. Bypass to Pins 7,
8 with a 0.1μF ceramic chip capacitor as close to the pin
as possible. Also bypass to Pins 7, 8 with an additional
2.2μF ceramic chip capacitor and to ground with a 1μF
ceramic chip capacitor.
REFL (Pins 7, 8): ADC Low Reference. Bypass to Pins 5, 6
with a 0.1μF ceramic chip capacitor as close to the pin
as possible. Also bypass to Pins 5, 6 with an additional
2.2μF ceramic chip capacitor and to ground with a 1μF
ceramic chip capacitor.
VDD (Pins 10, 11, 12, 46, 47): 3V Supply. Bypass to GND
with 0.1μF ceramic chip capacitors.
CLK (Pin 14): Clock Input. The input sample starts on the
positive edge.
SHDN (Pin 16): Shutdown Mode Selection Pin. Connecting
SHDN to GND and OE to GND results in normal operation
with the outputs enabled. Connecting SHDN to GND and
OE to VDD results in normal operation with the outputs at
high impedance. Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE to GND
results in nap mode with the outputs at high impedance.
Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE to VDD results in sleep
mode with the outputs at high impedance.
OGND (Pin 30): Output Driver Ground.
OVDD (Pin 31): Positive Supply for the Output Drivers.
Bypass to ground with 0.1μF ceramic chip capacitor.
OF (Pin 41): Over/Under Flow Output. High when an over
or under flow has occurred.
MODE (Pin 42): Output Format and Clock Duty Cycle
Stabilizer Selection Pin. Connecting MODE to GND selects
offset binary output format and turns the clock duty cycle
stabilizer off. 1/3 VDD selects offset binary output format
and turns the clock duty cycle stabilizer on. 2/3 VDD selects
2’s complement output format and turns the clock duty
cycle stabilizer on. VDD selects 2’s complement output
format and turns the clock duty cycle stabilizer off.
SENSE (Pin 43): Reference Programming Pin. Connecting
SENSE to VCM selects the internal reference and a ±0.5V
input range. VDD selects the internal reference and a ±1V
input range. An external reference greater than 0.5V and
less than 1V applied to SENSE selects an input range of
±VSENSE. ±1V is the largest valid input range.
VCM (Pin 44, 45): 1.5V Output and Input Common
Mode Bias. Bypass to ground with 2.2μF ceramic chip
capacitor.
If the clock duty cycle stabilizer is used, a >1μs high pulse
should be applied to the SHDN pin once the power supplies
are stable at power up.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of either input tone
to the RMS value of the largest 3rd order intermodulation
product.
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 limited to frequencies above DC to below half the
sampling frequency.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
Spurious free dynamic range is the peak harmonic or spurious noise that is the largest spectral component excluding
the input signal and DC. This value is expressed in decibels
relative to the RMS value of a full scale input signal.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Input Bandwidth
The signal-to-noise ratio (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 and DC.
The input 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
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
( ( V2 + V3 + V4 + ...Vn )/ V1)
2
2

where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental frequency and V2 through Vn are the amplitudes of the second
through nth harmonics. The THD calculated in this data
sheet uses all the harmonics up to the fifth.
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.
The 3rd order intermodulation products are 2fa + fb, 2fb
+ fa, 2fa – fb and 2fb – fa. The intermodulation distortion
The time from when CLK reaches mid-supply 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
As shown in Figure 1, the LTC2246H is a CMOS pipelined
multistep converter. The converter has six pipelined ADC
stages; a sampled analog input will result in a digitized
value five cycles later (see the Timing Diagram section).
For optimal AC performance the analog inputs should be
driven differentially. For cost sensitive applications, the
analog inputs can be driven single-ended with slightly
worse harmonic distortion. The CLK input is single-ended.
The LTC2246H has two phases of operation, determined
by the state of the CLK input pin.
Each pipelined stage shown in Figure 1 contains an ADC,
a reconstruction DAC and an interstage residue amplifier.
In operation, the ADC quantizes the input to the stage and
the quantized value is subtracted from the input by the
2246hfb

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DAC to produce a residue. The residue is amplified and
output by the residue amplifier. Successive stages operate
out of phase so that when the odd stages are outputting
their residue, the even stages are acquiring that residue
and vice versa.
When CLK is low, the analog input is sampled differentially
directly onto the input sample-and-hold capacitors, inside
the “Input S/H” shown in the block diagram. At the instant
that CLK transitions from low to high, the sampled input is
held. While CLK 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 during this high phase of CLK. When CLK 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 CLK goes back high, the
second stage produces its residue which is acquired by the
third stage. An identical process is repeated for the third,
fourth and fifth stages, resulting in a fifth stage residue
that is sent to the sixth stage ADC 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 synchronized 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 LTC2246H
CMOS differential sample-and-hold. The analog inputs are
connected to the 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 CLK is low, the transistors
connect the analog inputs to the sampling capacitors and
they charge to and track the differential input voltage. When
CLK transitions from low to high, the sampled input voltage
is held on the sampling capacitors. During the hold phase
when CLK is high, the sampling capacitors are disconnected
from the input and the held voltage is passed to the ADC
core for processing. As CLK 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.
Single-Ended Input
For cost sensitive applications, the analog inputs can be
driven single-ended. With a single-ended input the harmonic distortion and INL will degrade, but the SNR and
DNL will remain unchanged. For a single-ended input, AIN+
should be driven with the input signal and AIN– should
be connected to VCM or a low noise reference voltage
between 1V and 1.5V.
Common Mode Bias
For optimal performance the analog inputs should be driven
differentially. Each input should swing ±0.5V for the 2V
range or ±0.25V for the 1V range, around a common mode
voltage of 1.5V. The VCM output pins (Pins 44, 45) may be
used 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 pins must be bypassed to ground
close to the ADC with a 2.2μF or greater capacitor.

LTC2246H
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Input Drive Impedance
As with all high performance, high speed ADCs, the dynamic performance of the LTC2246H can be influenced by
the input drive circuitry, particularly the second and third
harmonics. Source impedance and reactance can influence
SFDR. At the falling edge of CLK, the sample-and-hold
circuit will connect the 4pF sampling capacitor to the input
pin and start the sampling period. The sampling period
ends when CLK 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/(2FENCODE); 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.
For the best performance, it is recommended to have a
source impedance of 100Ω or less for each input. The
source impedance should be matched for the differential
inputs. Poor matching will result in higher even order
harmonics, especially the second.
hold. Figure 3 shows a 1:1 turns ratio transformer. Other
turns ratios can be used if the source impedance seen
by the ADC does not exceed 100Ω for each ADC input.
A disadvantage of using a transformer is the loss of low
frequency response. Most small RF transformers have
poor performance at frequencies below 1MHz.
Figure 4 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 most op amps will limit the SFDR at high
input frequencies.
Figure 5 shows a single-ended input circuit. The impedance
seen by the analog inputs should be matched. This circuit
is not recommended if low distortion is required.
The 25Ω resistors and 12pF capacitor on the analog
inputs serve two purposes: isolating the drive circuitry
from the sample-and-hold charging glitches and limiting
the wideband noise at the converter input.

Input Drive Circuits
Figure 3 shows the LTC2246H being driven by an RF
transformer with a center tapped secondary. The secondary
center tap is DC biased with VCM, setting the ADC input
signal at its optimum DC level. Terminating on the transformer secondary is desirable, as this provides a common
mode path for charging glitches caused by the sample and

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Reference Operation
Figure 6 shows the LTC2246H reference circuitry consisting of a 1.5V bandgap reference, a difference amplifier and
switching and control circuit. The internal voltage reference
can be configured for two pin selectable input ranges of
2V (±1V differential) or 1V (±0.5V differential). Tying the
SENSE pin to VDD selects the 2V range; tying the SENSE
pin to VCM selects the 1V range.
The 1.5V bandgap reference serves two functions: its
output provides a DC bias point for setting the common
mode voltage of any external input circuitry; additionally,
the reference is used with a difference amplifier to generate the differential reference levels needed by the internal
ADC circuitry. An external bypass capacitor is required
for the 1.5V reference output, VCM. This provides a high
frequency low impedance path to ground for internal and
external circuitry.
The difference amplifier generates the high and low
reference for the ADC. High speed switching circuits are
connected to these outputs and they must be externally
bypassed.
Other voltage ranges in-between the pin selectable ranges
can be programmed with two external resistors as shown
in Figure 7. An external reference can be used by applying its output directly or through a resistor divider to
SENSE. It is not recommended to drive the SENSE pin
with a logic device. The SENSE pin should be tied to the
appropriate level 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 a 1μF
ceramic capacitor.
Input Range
The input range can be set based on the application.
The 2V input range will provide the best signal-to-noise
performance while maintaining excellent SFDR. The 1V
input range will have better SFDR performance, but the
SNR will degrade by 5.8dB.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Driving the Clock Input
The CLK input can be driven directly with a CMOS or TTL
level signal. A differential clock can also be used along
with a low-jitter CMOS converter before the CLK pin (see
Figure 8).
The noise performance of the LTC2246H can depend on the
clock signal quality as much as on the analog input. Any
noise present on the clock signal will result in additional
aperture jitter that will be RMS summed with the inherent
ADC aperture jitter.

Maximum and Minimum Conversion Rates
Digital Output Buffers
The maximum conversion rate for the LTC2246H is 25Msps.
For the ADC to operate properly, the CLK signal should
have a 50% (±5%) duty cycle. Each half cycle must have at
least 18.9ns for the ADC internal circuitry to have enough
settling time for proper operation.
Figure 9 shows an equivalent circuit for a single output
buffer. Each buffer is powered by OVDD and OGND, isolated
from the ADC power and ground. The additional
An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit can be used
if the input clock has a non 50% duty cycle. This circuit
uses the rising edge of the CLK pin to sample the analog
input. The falling edge of CLK is ignored and the internal
falling edge is generated by a phase-locked loop. The
input clock duty cycle can vary 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 a hundred clock cycles
for the PLL to lock onto the input clock. To use the clock
duty cycle stabilizer, the MODE pin should be connected
to 1/3VDD or 2/3VDD using external resistors.
If the clock duty cycle stabilizer is used, a >1μs high pulse
should be applied to the SHDN pin once the power supplies
are stable at power up.
The lower limit of the LTC2246H 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 LTC2246H is 1Msps.
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 may eliminate 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 LTC2246H should drive a minimal
capacitive load to avoid possible interaction between the
digital outputs and sensitive input circuitry. The output
should be buffered with a device such as an ALVCH16373
CMOS latch. For full speed operation the capacitive load
should be kept under 10pF.
Lower OVDD voltages will also help reduce interference
from the digital outputs.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Data Format
Sleep and Nap Modes
Using the MODE pin, the LTC2246H parallel digital output
can be selected for offset binary or 2’s complement format.
Connecting MODE to GND or 1/3VDD selects offset binary
output format. Connecting MODE to 2/3VDD or VDD selects
2’s complement output format.
The converter may be placed in shutdown or nap modes
to conserve power. Connecting SHDN to GND results in
normal operation. Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE to VDD
results in sleep mode, which powers down all circuitry
including the reference and typically dissipates 1mW. When
exiting sleep mode it will take milliseconds for the output
data to become valid because the reference capacitors
have to recharge and stabilize. Connecting SHDN to VDD
and OE to GND results in nap mode, which typically dissipates 15mW. In nap mode, the on-chip reference circuit
is kept on, so that recovery from nap mode is faster than
that from sleep mode, typically taking 100 clock cycles. In
both sleep and nap modes, all digital outputs are disabled
and enter the Hi-Z state.
An external resistor divider can be used to set the 1/3VDD
or 2/3VDD logic values. Table 2 shows the logic states for
the MODE pin.

When OF outputs a logic high the converter is either overranged or underranged.
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.
OVDD can be powered with any voltage from 500mV up to
3.6V. OGND can be powered with any voltage from GND
up to 1V and must be less than OVDD. The logic outputs
will swing between OGND and OVDD.
Output Enable
The outputs may be disabled with the output enable pin,
OE. OE high disables all data outputs including OF.
Grounding and Bypassing
The LTC2246H requires a printed circuit board with a clean,
unbroken ground plane. A multilayer board with an internal
ground plane is recommended. 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, OVDD, VCM, REFH, and REFL pins. Bypass capacitors must be located as close to the pins as possible. Of
particular importance is the 0.1μF capacitor between REFH
and REFL. This capacitor should be placed as close to the
device as possible (1.5mm or less). A size 0402 ceramic
capacitor is recommended. The large 2.2μF capacitor between REFH and REFL can be somewhat further away. The
traces connecting the pins and bypass capacitors must be
kept short and should be made as wide as possible.
The LTC2246H 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.
