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: When these pin voltages are taken below GND they will be
clamped by internal diodes. When these pin voltages are taken above VDD
they will not be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input
currents of greater than 100mA below GND without latchup.

Note 5: VDD = OVDD = 1.8V, fSAMPLE = 80MHz, LVDS outputs with internal
termination disabled, differential ENC+/ENC– = 2VP-P sine wave, input
range = 2VP-P with differential drive, unless otherwise noted.
Note 6: 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 7: Offset error is the offset voltage measured from –0.5 LSB when
the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111
1111 1111 in 2’s complement output mode.
Note 8: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 9: VDD = 1.8V, fSAMPLE = 80MHz, ENC+ = single-ended 1.8V square
wave, ENC– = 0V, input range = 2VP-P with differential drive, 5pF load on
each digital output unless otherwise noted.

PIN FUNCTIONS
PINS THAT ARE THE SAME FOR ALL DIGITAL OUTPUT
MODES
AIN+ (Pin 1): Positive Differential Analog Input.
AIN– (Pin 2): Negative Differential Analog Input.
GND (Pin 3, Exposed Pad Pin 41): ADC Power Ground.
REFH (Pins 4, 5): ADC High Reference. Bypass to Pins
6, 7 with a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor and to ground with a
0.1μF ceramic capacitor.
REFL (Pins 6, 7): ADC Low Reference. Bypass to Pins
4, 5 with a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor and to ground with a
0.1μF ceramic capacitor.
PAR/SER (Pin 8): Programming Mode Selection Pin. Connect to ground to enable the serial programming mode.
CS, SCK, SDI, SDO become a serial interface that control
the A/D operating modes. Connect to VDD to enable the
parallel programming mode where CS, SCK, SDI become
parallel logic inputs that control a reduced set of the A/D
operating modes. PAR/SER should be connected directly
to ground or the VDD of the part and not be driven by a
logic signal.
VDD (Pins 9, 10, 40): 1.8V Analog Power Supply. Bypass
to ground with 0.1μF ceramic capacitors. Pins 9 and 10
can share a bypass capacitor.
ENC+ (Pin 11): Encode Input. Conversion starts on the
rising edge.
ENC– (Pin 12): Encode Complement Input. Conversion
starts on the falling edge.
CS (Pin 13): In serial programming mode, (PAR/SER =
0V), CS is the serial interface chip select input. When
CS is low, SCK is enabled for shifting data on SDI into
the mode control registers. In the parallel programming
mode (PAR/SER = VDD), CS controls the clock duty cycle
stabilizer. When CS is low, the clock duty cycle stabilizer is
turned off. When CS is high, the clock duty cycle stabilizer
is turned on. CS can be driven with 1.8V to 3.3V logic.
SCK (Pin 14): In serial programming mode, (PAR/SER =
0V), SCK is the serial interface clock input. In the parallel
programming mode (PAR/SER = VDD), SCK controls the
digital output mode. When SCK is low, the full-rate CMOS
output mode is enabled. When SCK is high, the doubledata rate LVDS output mode (with 3.5mA output current)
is enabled. SCK can be driven with 1.8V to 3.3V logic.
SDI (Pin 15): In serial programming mode, (PAR/SER =
0V), SDI is the serial interface data input. Data on SDI is
clocked into the mode control registers on the rising edge
of SCK. In the parallel programming mode (PAR/SER =
VDD), SDI can be used to power down the part. When SDI
is low, the part operates normally. When SDI is high, the
part enters sleep mode. SDI can be driven with 1.8V to
3.3V logic.
SDO (Pin 16): In serial programming mode, (PAR/SER
= 0V), SDO is the optional serial interface data output.
Data on SDO is read back from the mode control registers
and can be latched on the falling edge of SCK. SDO is an
open-drain NMOS output that requires an external 2k
pull-up resistor to 1.8V-3.3V. If read back from the mode
control registers is not needed, the pull-up resistor is not
necessary and SDO can be left unconnected. In the parallel
programming mode (PAR/SER = VDD), SDO is not used
and should not be connected.
OGND (Pin 25): Output Driver Ground.
OVDD (Pin 26): Output Driver Supply. Bypass to ground
with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor.
VCM (Pin 37): Common Mode Bias Output, Nominally
Equal to VDD/2. VCM should be used to bias the common
mode of the analog inputs. Bypass to ground with a 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor.
VREF (Pin 38): Reference Voltage Output. Bypass to ground
with a 1μF ceramic capacitor, nominally 1.25V.
SENSE (Pin 39): Reference Programming Pin. Connecting
SENSE to VDD selects the internal reference and a ±1V input
range. Connecting SENSE to ground selects the internal
reference and a ±0.5V input range. An external reference
between 0.625V and 1.3V applied to SENSE selects an
input range of ±0.8 • VSENSE.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2259-16 is a low power 16-bit 80Msps A/D
converter that is powered by a single 1.8V supply. The
analog inputs should be driven differentially. The encode
input can be driven differentially, or single ended for lower
power consumption. The digital outputs can be CMOS,
double-data rate CMOS (to halve the number of output
lines), or double-data rate LVDS (to reduce digital noise
in the system.) Many additional features can be chosen by
programming the mode control registers through a serial
SPI port. See the Serial Programming Mode section.
ANALOG INPUT
The analog input is a differential CMOS sample-and-hold
circuit (Figure 2). The inputs should be driven differentially
around a common mode voltage set by the VCM output
pin, which is nominally VDD/2. For the 2V input range, the
inputs should swing from VCM – 0.5V to VCM + 0.5V. There
should be 180° phase difference between the inputs.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS
Input Filtering
Transformer-Coupled Circuits
If possible, there should be an RC lowpass filter right at
the analog inputs. This lowpass filter isolates the drive
circuitry from the A/D sample-and-hold switching, and
also limits wideband noise from the drive circuitry. Figure 3
shows an example of an input RC filter. The RC component
values should be chosen based on the application’s input
frequency.
Figure 3 shows the analog input being driven by an RF
transformer with a center-tapped secondary. The center
tap is biased with VCM, setting the A/D input at its optimal
DC level. At higher input frequencies a transmission line
balun transformer (Figures 4 to 6) has better balance,
resulting in lower A/D distortion.

Amplifier Circuits
LTC2259-16
Figure 7 shows the analog input being driven by a high
speed differential amplifier. The output of the amplifier is
AC-coupled to the A/D so the amplifier’s output common
mode voltage can be optimally set to minimize distortion.
At very high frequencies an RF gain block will often have
lower distortion than a differential amplifier. If the gain
block is single-ended, then a transformer circuit (Figures 4
to 6) should convert the signal to differential before driving the A/D.

The LTC2259-16 has an internal 1.25V voltage reference.
For a 2V input range using the internal reference, connect

reference, connect SENSE to ground. For a 2V input range
with an external reference, apply a 1.25V reference voltage
to SENSE (Figure 9.)
The input range can be adjusted by applying a voltage to
SENSE that is between 0.625V and 1.30V. The input range
will then be 1.6 • VSENSE.
The VREF , REFH and REFL pins should be bypassed as
shown in Figure 8. The 0.1μF capacitor between REFH
and REFL should be as close to the pins as possible (not
on the back side of the circuit board).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Encode Input
The signal quality of the encode inputs strongly affects
the A/D noise performance. The encode inputs should
be treated as analog signals—do not route them next to
digital traces on the circuit board. There are two modes
of operation for the encode inputs: the differential encode
mode (Figure 10) and the single-ended encode mode
(Figure 11).
The differential encode mode is recommended for sinusoidal, PECL or LVDS encode inputs (Figures 12, 13). The
encode inputs are internally biased to 1.2V through 10k
equivalent resistance. The encode inputs can be taken
above VDD (up to 3.6V), and the common mode range
is from 1.1V to 1.6V. In the differential encode mode,
ENC– should stay at least 200mV above ground to avoid
falsely triggering the single-ended encode mode. For good
jitter performance ENC+ and ENC– should have fast rise
and fall times.
LTC2259-16
The single-ended encode mode should be used with CMOS
encode inputs. To select this mode, ENC– is connected
to ground and ENC+ is driven with a square wave encode
input. ENC+ can be taken above VDD (up to 3.6V) so 1.8V
to 3.3V CMOS logic levels can be used. The ENC+ threshold
is 0.9V. For good jitter performance ENC+ should have fast
rise and fall times.
Clock Duty Cycle Stabilizer
For good performance the encode signal should have a
50%(±5%) duty cycle. If the optional clock duty cycle
stabilizer circuit is enabled, the encode duty cycle can
vary from 30% to 70% and the duty cycle stabilizer will
maintain a constant 50% internal duty cycle. If the encode
signal changes frequency or is turned off, the duty cycle
stabilizer circuit requires one hundred clock cycles to lock
onto the input clock. The duty cycle stabilizer is enabled
by mode control register A2 (serial programming mode),
or by CS (parallel programming mode).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
For applications where the sample rate needs to be changed
quickly, the clock duty cycle stabilizer can be disabled. If
the duty cycle stabilizer is disabled, care should be taken to
make the sampling clock have a 50%(±5%) duty cycle. The
duty cycle stabilizer should not be used below 5Msps.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Digital Output Modes
The LTC2259-16 can operate in three digital output
modes: full-rate CMOS, double-data rate CMOS (to halve
the number of output lines), or double-data rate LVDS
(to reduce digital noise in the system). The output mode
is set by mode control register A3 (serial programming
mode), or by SCK (parallel programming mode). Note that
double-data rate CMOS cannot be selected in the parallel
programming mode.
Full-Rate CMOS Mode
In full-rate CMOS mode the 16 digital outputs (D0-D15),
and the data output clocks (CLKOUT+, CLKOUT–) have
CMOS output levels. The outputs are powered by OVDD
and OGND which are isolated from the A/D core power
and ground. OVDD can range from 1.1V to 1.9V, allowing
1.2V through 1.8V CMOS logic outputs.
For good performance, the digital outputs should drive
minimal capacitive loads. If the load capacitance is larger
than 10pF a digital buffer should be used.
Double-Data Rate CMOS Mode
In double-data rate CMOS mode, two data bits are multiplexed and output on each data pin. This reduces the
number of data lines by eight, simplifying board routing
and reducing the number of input pins needed to receive
the data. The 8 digital outputs (D0_1, D2_3, D4_5, D6_7,
D8_9, D10_11, D12_13, D14_15), and the data output
clocks (CLKOUT+, CLKOUT–) have CMOS output levels.
The outputs are powered by OVDD and OGND which are
isolated from the A/D core power and ground. OVDD can
range from 1.1V to 1.9V, allowing 1.2V through 1.8V CMOS
logic outputs.
For good performance the digital outputs should drive
minimal capacitive loads. If the load capacitance is larger
than 10pF a digital buffer should be used.
Double-Data Rate LVDS Mode
In double-data rate LVDS mode, two data bits are multiplexed and output on each differential output pair. There
are 8 LVDS output pairs (D0_1+/D0_1– through D14_15+/
D14_15–) for the digital output data. The data output clock
(CLKOUT+/CLKOUT–) has an LVDS output pair.
By default the outputs are standard LVDS levels: 3.5mA
output current and a 1.25V output common mode voltage. An external 100Ω differential termination resistor
is required for each LVDS output pair. The termination
resistors should be located as close as possible to the
LVDS receiver.
The outputs are powered by OVDD and OGND which are
isolated from the A/D core power and ground. In LVDS
mode, OVDD must be 1.8V.
Programmable LVDS Output Current
In LVDS mode, the default output driver current is 3.5mA.
This current can be adjusted by serially programming mode
control register A3. Available current levels are 1.75mA,
2.1mA, 2.5mA, 3mA, 3.5mA, 4mA and 4.5mA.
Optional LVDS Driver Internal Termination
In most cases using just an external 100Ω termination
resistor will give excellent LVDS signal integrity. In addition, an optional internal 100Ω termination resistor can
be enabled by serially programming mode control register
A3. The internal termination helps absorb any reflections
caused by imperfect termination at the receiver. When the
internal termination is enabled, the output driver current
is increased by 1.6x to maintain about the same output
voltage swing.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Phase-Shifting the Output Clock
DATA FORMAT
In full-rate CMOS mode the data output bits normally
change at the same time as the falling edge of CLKOUT+,
so the rising edge of CLKOUT+ can be used to latch the
output data. In double-data rate CMOS and LVDS modes
the data output bits normally change at the same time as
the falling and rising edges of CLKOUT+. To allow adequate
setup-and-hold time when latching the data, the CLKOUT+
signal may need to be phase shifted relative to the data
output bits. Most FPGAs have this feature; this is generally
the best place to adjust the timing.
Table 1 shows the relationship between the analog input
voltage and the digital data output bits. By default the
output data format is offset binary. The 2’s complement
format can be selected by serially programming mode
control register A4. Note that when the analog input is
outside the normal operating range the two LSBs (D1,
D0) can change and should be ignored.
The LTC2259-16 can also phase shift the CLKOUT+/CLKOUT– signals by serially programming mode control
register A2. The output clock can be shifted by 0°, 45°,
90° or 135°. To use the phase shifting feature the clock
duty cycle stabilizer must be turned on. Another control register bit can invert the polarity of CLKOUT+ and
CLKOUT–, independently of the phase shift. The combination of these two features enables phase shifts of 45° up
to 315° (Figure 14).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Digital Output Randomizer
Alternate Bit Polarity
Interference from the A/D digital outputs is sometimes
unavoidable. Digital interference may be from capacitive or
inductive coupling or coupling through the ground plane.
Even a tiny coupling factor can cause unwanted tones
in the ADC output spectrum. By randomizing the digital
output before it is transmitted off chip, these unwanted
tones can be randomized which reduces the unwanted
tone amplitude.
Another feature that reduces digital feedback on the circuit
board is the alternate bit polarity mode. When this mode
is enabled, all of the odd bits (D1, D3, D5, D7, D9, D11,
D13, D15) are inverted before the output buffers. The even
bits (D0, D2, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D14) and CLKOUT are
not affected. This can reduce digital currents in the circuit
board ground plane and reduce digital noise, particularly
for very small analog input signals.
The digital output is randomized by applying an exclusiveOR logic operation between D2 and all other data output
bits. To decode, the reverse operation is applied—an exclusive-OR operation is applied between D2 and all other
bits. The D2 and CLKOUT outputs are not affected. The
output randomizer is enabled by serially programming
mode control register A4.
When there is a very small signal at the input of the A/D
that is centered around mid-scale, the digital outputs toggle
between mostly 1s and mostly 0s. This simultaneous
switching of most of the bits will cause large currents in
the ground plane. By inverting every other bit, the alternate bit polarity mode makes half of the bits transition
high while half of the bits transition low. To first order,
this cancels current flow in the ground plane, reducing
the digital noise.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The digital output is decoded at the receiver by inverting
the odd bits (D1, D3, D5, D7, D9, D11, D13, D15). The
alternate bit polarity mode is independent of the digital
output randomizer—either, both or neither function can
be on at the same time. When alternate bit polarity mode
is on, the data format is offset binary and the 2’s complement control bit has no effect. The alternate bit polarity
mode is enabled by serially programming mode control
register A4.
Digital Output Test Patterns
To allow in-circuit testing of the digital interface to the
A/D, there are several test modes that force most of the
A/D data outputs (D15-D2) to known values. Note that the
two LSBs, D1 and D0, are not controlled in the test pattern
mode and can have unknown values.
ming mode), or by SDI (parallel programming mode).
The amount of time required to recover from sleep mode
depends on the size of the bypass capacitors on VREF ,
REFH, and REFL. For the suggested values in Figure 8,
the A/D will stabilize after 2ms.
In nap mode the A/D core is powered down while the
internal reference circuits stay active, allowing faster
wake-up than from sleep mode. Recovering from nap
mode requires at least 100 clock cycles. If the application
demands very accurate DC settling then an additional
50μs should be allowed so the on-chip references can
settle from the slight temperature shift caused by the
change in supply current as the A/D leaves nap mode.
Nap mode is enabled by mode control register A1 in the
serial programming mode.
All 1s: Outputs are 1111 1111 1111 11XX
DEVICE PROGRAMMING MODES
All 0s: Outputs are 0000 0000 0000 00XX
The operating modes of the LTC2259-16 can be programmed by either a parallel interface or a simple serial
interface. The serial interface has more flexibility and
can program all available modes. The parallel interface
is more limited and can only program some of the more
commonly used modes.
Alternating: On alternating samples, the outputs
change from 1111 1111 1111 11XX to 0000 0000
0000 00XX.
Checkerboard: On alternating samples, the outputs
change from 1010 1010 1010 10XX to 0101 0101
0101 01XX.
The digital output test patterns are enabled by serially
programming mode control register A4. When enabled,
the test patterns override all other formatting modes: 2’s
complement, randomizer, alternate-bit-polarity.
Output Disable
The digital outputs may be disabled by serially programming mode control register A3. All digital outputs including
CLKOUT are disabled. The high impedance disabled state
is intended for long periods of inactivity—it is too slow
to multiplex a data bus between multiple converters at
full speed.
Parallel Programming Mode
To use the parallel programming mode, PAR/SER should
be tied to VDD. The CS, SCK and SDI pins are binary logic
inputs that set certain operating modes. These pins can
be tied to VDD or ground, or driven by 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V
CMOS logic. Table 2 shows the modes set by CS, SCK
and SDI.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Serial Programming Mode
To use the serial programming mode, PAR/SER should be
tied to ground. The CS, SCK, SDI and SDO pins become
a serial interface that program the A/D mode control
registers. Data is written to a register with a 16-bit serial
word. Data can also be read back from a register to verify
its contents.
Serial data transfer starts when CS is taken low. The data
on the SDI pin is latched at the first 16 rising edges of
SCK. Any SCK rising edges after the first 16 are ignored.
The data transfer ends when CS is taken high again.
The first bit of the 16-bit input word is the R/W bit. The
next seven bits are the address of the register (A6:A0).
The final eight bits are the register data (D7:D0).
If the R/W bit is low, the serial data (D7:D0) will be written to the register set by the address bits (A6:A0). If the
R/W bit is high, data in the register set by the address bits
(A6:A0) will be read back on the SDO pin (see the timing
diagrams). During a read back command the register is
not updated and data on SDI is ignored.
The SDO pin is an open-drain output that pulls to ground
with a 200Ω impedance. If register data is read back
through SDO, an external 2k pull-up resistor is required.
If serial data is only written and read back is not needed,
then SDO can be left floating and no pull-up resistor is
needed.
Table 3 shows a map of the mode control registers.
Software Reset
If serial programming is used, the mode control registers
should be programmed as soon as possible after the power
supplies turn on and are stable. The first serial command
must be a software reset which will reset all register data
bits to logic 0. To perform a software reset, bit D7 in the
reset register is written with a logic 1. After the reset is
complete, bit D7 is automatically set back to zero.

GROUNDING AND BYPASSING
The LTC2259-16 requires a printed circuit board with a
clean unbroken ground plane. A multilayer board with an
internal ground plane in the first layer beneath the ADC 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, VREF, 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 on the same
side of the circuit board as the A/D, and as close to the
device as possible (1.5mm or less). Size 0402 ceramic
capacitors are recommended. The larger 2.2μF capacitor
between REFH and REFL can be somewhat further away.
The VCM capacitor should be located as close to the pin
as possible. To make space for this the capacitor on VREF
can be further away or on the back of the PC board. The
traces connecting the pins and bypass capacitors must be
kept short and should be made as wide as possible.
The analog inputs, encode signals, and digital outputs
should not be routed next to each other. Ground fill and
grounded vias should be used as barriers to isolate these
signals from each other.
HEAT TRANSFER
Most of the heat generated by the LTC2259-16 is transferred
from the die through the bottom-side exposed pad and
package leads onto the printed circuit board. For good
electrical and thermal performance, the exposed pad must
be soldered to a large grounded pad on the PC board. This
pad should be connected to the internal ground planes by
an array of vias.
