DC specs include ±1LSB INL (typ), ±0.5LSB DNL (typ) and
no missing codes over temperature. The transition noise
is a low 1LSBRMS.
A single 3V supply allows low power operation. A separate
output supply allows the outputs to drive 0.5V to 3.6V
logic.
A single-ended CLK input controls converter operation. An
optional clock duty cycle stabilizer allows high performance at full speed for 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 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 = 65MHz (LTC2248), 40MHz (LTC2247), or
25MHz (LTC2246), 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 = 65MHz (LTC2248), 40MHz (LTC2247), or
25MHz (LTC2246), input range = 1VP-P with differential drive.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
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)
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.
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.
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 (√(V22 + V32 + V42 + . . . Vn2)/V1)
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 is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of either
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 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 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 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 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
224876fa

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 LTC2248/
LTC2247/LTC2246 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 1.5V or VCM.
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 pin (Pin
31) 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 pin must be bypassed to
ground close to the ADC with a 2.2µF or greater capacitor.

dynamic performance of the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246
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.

Input Drive Circuits
Figure 3 shows the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 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 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.

Reference Operation
Figure 9 shows the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 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. Each output has two pins. The multiple output

a low-jitter squaring circuit before the CLK pin (see
Figure 11).
Other voltage ranges in-between the pin selectable ranges
can be programmed with two external resistors as shown
in Figure 10. 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.
The noise performance of the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246
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.
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. See the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
In applications where jitter is critical, such as when digitizing high input frequencies, use as large an amplitude as
possible. Also, if the ADC is clocked with a sinusoidal
signal, filter the CLK signal to reduce wideband noise and
distortion products generated by the source.
Figures 12 and 13 show alternatives for converting a
differential clock to the single-ended CLK input. The use of
a transformer provides no incremental contribution to
phase noise. The LVDS or PECL to CMOS translators
provide little degradation below 70MHz, but at 140MHz
will degrade the SNR compared to the transformer solution. The nature of the received signals also has a large

have a lesser impact.
storing analog signals on small valued capacitors. Junction leakage will discharge the capacitors. The specified
minimum operating frequency for the LTC2248/LTC2247/
LTC2246 is 1Msps.
The transformer in the example may be terminated with
the appropriate termination for the signaling in use. The
use of a transformer with a 1:4 impedance ratio may be
desirable in cases where lower voltage differential signals
are considered. The center tap may be bypassed to ground
through a capacitor close to the ADC if the differential
signals originate on a different plane. The use of a capacitor at the input may result in peaking, and depending on
transmission line length may require a 10Ω to 20Ω ohm
series resistor to act as both a low pass filter for high
frequency noise that may be induced into the clock line by
neighboring digital signals, as well as a damping mechanism for reflections.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Maximum and Minimum Conversion Rates
The maximum conversion rate for the LTC2248/LTC2247/
LTC2246 is 65Msps (LTC2248), 40Msps (LTC2247), and
25Msps (LTC2246). For the ADC to operate properly, the
CLK signal should have a 50% (±5%) duty cycle. Each half
cycle must have at least 7.3ns (LTC2248), 11.8ns
(LTC2247), and 18.9ns (LTC2246) for the ADC internal
circuitry to have enough settling time for proper operation.
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 from 40% to 60% 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.
The lower limit of the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 sample
rate is determined by droop of the sample-and-hold circuits. The pipelined architecture of this ADC relies on

As with all high speed/high resolution converters, the
digital output loading can affect the performance. The
digital outputs of the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 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.
Data Format
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.
Using the MODE pin, the LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246
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. 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

The outputs may be disabled with the output enable pin, OE.
OE high disables all data outputs including OF. The data access and bus relinquish times are too slow to allow the
outputs to be enabled and disabled during full speed operation. The output Hi-Z state is intended for use during long
periods of inactivity.
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.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Grounding and Bypassing
The LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 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 LTC2248/LTC2247/LTC2246 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 LTC2248/LTC2247/
LTC2246 is transferred from the die through the bottomside exposed pad and package leads onto the printed
circuit board. For good electrical and thermal performance, the exposed pad should be soldered to a large
grounded pad on the PC board. It is critical that all ground
pins are connected to a ground plane of sufficient area.
Clock Sources for Undersampling
Undersampling raises the bar on the clock source and the
higher the input frequency, the greater the sensitivity to
clock jitter or phase noise. A clock source that degrades
SNR of a full-scale signal by 1dB at 70MHz will degrade
SNR by 3dB at 140MHz, and 4.5dB at 190MHz.
In cases where absolute clock frequency accuracy is
relatively unimportant and only a single ADC is required,
a 3V canned oscillator from vendors such as Saronix or
Vectron can be placed close to the ADC and simply
connected directly to the ADC. If there is any distance to
the ADC, some source termination to reduce ringing that
may occur even over a fraction of an inch is advisable. You
must not allow the clock to overshoot the supplies or
performance will suffer. Do not filter the clock signal with
a narrow band filter unless you have a sinusoidal clock
source, as the rise and fall time artifacts present in typical
digital clock signals will be translated into phase noise.
The lowest phase noise oscillators have single-ended
sinusoidal outputs, and for these devices the use of a filter
close to the ADC may be beneficial. This filter should be
close to the ADC to both reduce roundtrip reflection times,
as well as reduce the susceptibility of the traces between
the filter and the ADC. If you are sensitive to close-in phase
noise, the power supply for oscillators and any buffers
must be very stable, or propagation delay variation with
supply will translate into phase noise. Even though these
clock sources may be regarded as digital devices, do not
operate them on a digital supply. If your clock is also used
to drive digital devices such as an FPGA, you should locate
the oscillator, and any clock fan-out devices close to the
ADC, and give the routing to the ADC precedence. The
clock signals to the FPGA should have series termination
at the driver to prevent high frequency noise from the
FPGA disturbing the substrate of the clock fan-out device.
If you use an FPGA as a programmable divider, you must
re-time the signal using the original oscillator, and the retiming flip-flop as well as the oscillator should be close to
the ADC, and powered with a very quiet supply.
For cases where there are multiple ADCs, or where the
clock source originates some distance away, differential
clock distribution is advisable. This is advisable both from
the perspective of EMI, but also to avoid receiving noise
from digital sources both radiated, as well as propagated
in the waveguides that exist between the layers of multilayer PCBs. The differential pairs must be close together
and distanced from other signals. The differential pair
should be guarded on both sides with copper distanced at
least 3x the distance between the traces, and grounded
with vias no more than 1/4 inch apart.
