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 = 20MHz, input range = 2.5VP-P with
differential drive (PGA = 0), unless otherwise specified.

Cycles
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.
Note 9: Dynamic current from switched capacitor inputs is large compared
to DC leakage current, and will vary with sample rate.
Note 10: Leakage current will experience transient at power up. Keep
resistance < 1kΩ.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
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.
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 ratio of the RMS value
of either input tone to the RMS value of the largest 3rd
order IMD product.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
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.
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.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Full Power Bandwidth
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:
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.
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion Ratio
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.
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.
Aperture Delay Time
The time from when CLK reaches 0.45 of VDD to the
instant that the input signal is held by the sample-andhold 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)

LTC2201
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2201 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.
Each pipelined stage shown in Figure 1 contains an ADC,
a reconstruction DAC and an interstage amplifier. In operation, 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.
The phase of operation is determined by the state of the
CLK input pin.
When CLK is high, 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 high to low, the voltage
on the sample capacitors is held. While CLK is low, 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 low phase of
CLK. When CLK goes back high, 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 low, the second stage produces its
residue which is acquired by the third stage. An identical 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 LTC2201 CMOS
differential sample and hold. The differential analog inputs
are sampled directly onto sampling capacitors (CSAMPLE)
through NMOS transitors. The capacitors shown attached
to each input (CPARASITIC) are the summation of all other
capacitance associated with each input.

Figure 2. Equivalent Input Circuit
During the sample phase when CLK is high, the NMOS
transistors connect the analog inputs to the sampling
capacitors and they charge to, and track the differential
input voltage. When CLK transitions from high to low, 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 low to high, 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 at the input of
the converter. If the change between the last sample and

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
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 may
swing ±0.625V for the 2.5V range (PGA = 0) or ±0.417V
for the 1.667V range (PGA = 1), around a common mode
voltage of 1.25V. The VCM output pin (Pin 2) 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.
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 distortion. A disadvantage of using a transformer is the loss of
low frequency response. Most small RF transformers have
poor performance at frequencies below 1MHz.

For the best performance it is recommended to have a
source impedance of 100Ω or less for each input. The

harmonics, especially the second.

Center-tapped transformers provide a convenient means

poor balance at high input frequencies, resulting in large
2nd order harmonics.
Figure 4 shows transformer coupling using a transmission line balun transformer. This type of transformer has
much better high frequency response and balance than flux
coupled center tap transformers. Coupling capacitors are

Input Drive Impedence
As with all high performance, high speed ADCs the dynamic performance of the LTC2201 can be influenced
by the input drive circuitry, particularly the second and
third harmonics. Source impedance and input reactance can influence SFDR. At the rising edge of CLK the
sample and hold circuit will connect the 9.1pF sampling
capacitor to the input pin and start the sampling period.
The sampling period ends when CLK falls, 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/(2FCLK); 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.

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.
Reference Operation
Figure 6 shows the LTC2201 reference circuitry consisting
of a 2.5V bandgap reference, a programmable gain amplifier and control circuit. The LTC2201 has three modes of
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 the 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 2.5VP-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.
Figure 6. Reference Circuit
The SENSE pin can be driven ±5% around the nominal 2.5V
or 1.25V external reference input. 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 at least a 1μF ceramic capacitor.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PGA Pin
The PGA pin selects between two gain settings for the ADC
front-end. PGA = 0 selects an input range of 2.5VP-P; PGA =
1 selects an input range of 1.667VP-P. The 2.5V input range
has the best SNR; however, the distortion will be higher for
input frequencies above 100MHz. For applications with high
input frequencies, the low input range will have improved
distortion; however, the SNR will be 2.4dB worse. See the
Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Driving the Clock Input
The CLK input can be driven directly with a CMOS or TTL
level signal. A sinusoidal clock can also be used along with a
low-jitter squaring circuit before the CLK pin (Figure 8).

Figure 8. Sinusoidal Single-Ended CLK Drive
The noise performance of the LTC2201 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.
In applications where jitter is critical, such as when digitizing high input frequencies, use as large an amplitude
as possible. It is also helpful to drive the CLK pin with a
low-jitter high frequency source which has been divided
down to the appropriate sample rate. If the ADC is clocked
with a sinusoidal signal, filter the CLK signal to reduce
wideband noise and distortion products generated by
the source.
Maximum and Minimum Conversion Rates
The maximum conversion rate for the LTC2201 is 20Msps.
For the ADC to operate properly the CLK signal should
have a 50% (±10%) duty cycle. Each half cycle must have
at least 20ns for the LTC2201 internal circuitry to have
enough settling time for proper operation.
An on-chip clock duty cycle stabilizer may be activated if
the input clock does not have a 50% duty cycle. This circuit
uses the falling edge of CLK pin to sample the analog input.
The rising edge of CLK is ignored and an internal rising
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.
The lower limit of the LTC2201 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 LTC2201 is 1Msps.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Data Format
Digital Output Buffers
The LTC2201 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 resistor divider can be user to set the 1/3VDD and 2/3VDD logic
levels. Table 1 shows the logic states for the MODE pin.
Figure 9 shows an equivalent circuit for a single output
buffer in CMOS Mode. 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 LTC2201 should drive a small 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.
Lower OVDD voltages will also help reduce interference
from the digital outputs.

An overflow output bit (OF) indicates when the converter

Output Clock
The ADC has a delayed version of the CLK input available
as a digital output. Both a noninverted version, CLKOUT +
and an inverted version CLKOUT – are provided. The
CLKOUT +/CLKOUT – can be used to synchronize the converter data to the digital system. This is necessary when
using a sinusoidal clock. Data can be latched on the rising
edge of CLKOUT + or the falling edge of CLKOUT –. CLKOUT +
falls and CLKOUT – rises as the data outputs are updated.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Digital Output Randomizer
Output Driver Power
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.
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 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 .
The digital output is “Randomized” by applying an exclusive-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.

LTC2201
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Internal Dither
Grounding and Bypassing
The LTC2201 is a 16-bit ADC with a very linear transfer
function; however, at low input levels even slight imperfections 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’s location
on the ADC transfer curve, resulting in improved SFDR
for low signal levels.
The LTC2201 require a printed circuit board with a
clean unbroken ground plane; a multilayer board with an
internal ground plane is recommended. The pinout of the
LTC2201 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.
As shown in Figure 12, 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.

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 LTC2201 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 LTC2201 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.
