The LTM®9012 is a 4-channel, simultaneous sampling
14-bit µModule® analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with
integrated, fixed gain, differential ADC drivers. The low
noise amplifiers are suitable for single-ended drive and
pulse train signals such as imaging applications. Each
channel includes a lowpass filter between the driver output and ADC input.

DC specs include ±1.2LSB INL (typ), ±0.3LSB DNL (typ)
and no missing codes over temperature. The transition
noise is a low 1.2LSBRMS.

The digital outputs are serial LVDS and each channel outputs two bits at a time (2-lane mode). At lower sampling
rates there is a one bit option (1-lane mode). The LVDS
drivers have optional internal termination and adjustable
output levels to ensure clean signal integrity.

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 GND (unless otherwise
noted).
Note 3: Input pins are protected by steering diodes to either supply. If
the inputs should exceed either supply voltage, the input current should
be limited to less than 10mA. In addition, the inputs CHn +, CHn – are
protected by a pair of back-to-back diodes. If the differential input voltage
exceeds 1.4V, the input current should be limited to less than 10mA.
Note 4: When these pin voltages are taken below GND or above VDD, they
will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents
greater than 100mA below GND or above VDD without latchup.
Note 5: 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 greater than 100mA below GND without latchup.
Note 6: VCC = 3.3V, VDD = OVDD = 1.8V, fSAMPLE = 125MHz, 2-lane output
mode, differential ENC+/ENC – = 2VP-P sine wave, input range = 200mVP-P
with differential drive, unless otherwise noted.
Note 7: 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 8: 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 in 2’s complement output mode.
Note 9: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 10: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 11: The maximum sampling frequency depends on the speed grade
of the part and also which serialization mode is used. The maximum serial
data rate is 1000Mbps so tSER must be greater than or equal to 1ns.
Note 12: Near-channel crosstalk refers to CH1 and CH2. Far channel
crosstalk refers to CH1 to CH4.

Applications Information
Converter Operation
The LTM9012 is a low power, 4-channel, 14-bit, 125Msps
A/D converter that is powered by a 1.8V ADC supply and
3.3V driver supplies. Each input includes a fixed gain,
differential amplifier. The analog inputs can be driven differentially or single-ended. The encode input can be driven
differentially for optimal jitter performance, or single-ended
for lower power consumption. The digital outputs are serial
LVDS to minimize the number of data lines. Each channel
outputs two bits at a time (2-lane mode). At lower sampling
rates there is a one bit per channel option (1-lane mode).
Many additional features can be chosen by programming
the mode control registers through a serial SPI port.

The differential input can support single-ended operation
by connecting the inverting input to a fixed DC voltage or
ground. However, if ground is used, there will be a 6dB
loss of dynamic range. For maximum dynamic range, connect the inverting inputs of the LTM9012 to a DC voltage
equal to the median of the voltage excursions of the noninverting input. An op amp provides an excellent means
of providing a low impedance voltage source capable of
sourcing and sinking small amounts of current. Note the
value of this DC voltage should fall between the limits of
allowable input common mode voltages. See Figure 2 for
an example.

Analog Inputs
The analog inputs for each channel of the LTM9012 consist of a differential amplifier with fixed gain followed by
a lowpass filter. The 10x gain version has 49.9Ω series
resistance in each input.
–
+
The gain of the LTM9012 may also be decreased from
the nominal value by adding resistance in series with
the signal inputs. The internal op amps are fed by 49.9Ω
series resistors and employ 511Ω feedback resistors. The
voltage gain of the stage is set by the ratio of the feedback
resistance to the total series resistance. Unity gain, for
example, can be realized by adding a 464Ω resistor in
series with each input.
Reference
The LTM9012 has an internal 1.25V voltage reference. For
a 2V input range using the internal reference with a unity
gain internal amplifier configuration, connect SENSE to VDD.
For a 1V input range using the internal reference, connect
SENSE to ground. For a 2V input range with an external
reference, apply a 1.25V reference voltage to SENSE.
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 reference is shared by all four ADC channels, so it is
not possible to independently adjust the input range of
individual channels.

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 3), and the single-ended encode mode (Figure 4).
The differential encode mode is recommended for sinusoidal, PECL, or LVDS encode inputs (Figure 5 and Figure 6).
The encode inputs are internally biased to 1.2V through
10k equivalent resistance. The encode inputs can be taken
LTM9012
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+ should have fast rise and fall times.
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.

Applications Information
Clock PLL and Duty Cycle Stabilizer
The encode clock is multiplied by an internal phase-locked
loop (PLL) to generate the serial digital output data. If the
encode signal changes frequency or is turned off, the PLL
requires 25μs to lock onto the input clock.
A clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit allows the duty cycle
of the applied encode signal to vary from 30% to 70%.
In the serial programming mode it is possible to disable
the duty cycle stabilizer, but this is not recommended. In
the parallel programming mode the duty cycle stabilizer
is always enabled.
Digital Outputs
The digital outputs of the LTM9012 are serialized LVDS
signals. Each channel outputs two bits at a time (2-lane
mode). At lower sampling rates there is a one bit per channel option (1-lane mode). The data can be serialized with
16-, 14-, or 12-bit serialization (see the Timing Diagrams
for details). Note that with 12-bit serialization the two LSBs
are not available—this mode is included for compatibility
with potential 12-bit versions of these parts.
The output data should be latched on the rising and falling
edges of the data clock out (DCO). A data frame output
(FR) can be used to determine when the data from a new
conversion result begins. In the 2-lane, 14-bit serialization
mode, the frequency of the FR output is halved.
The maximum serial data rate for the data outputs is 1Gbps,
so the maximum sample rate of the ADC will depend on
the serialization mode as well as the speed grade of the
ADC (see Table 1). The minimum sample rate for all serialization modes is 5Msps.
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 which is isolated from
the A/D core power.
Programmable LVDS Output Current
The default output driver current is 3.5mA. This current
can be adjusted by control register A2 in the serial programming mode. Available current levels are 1.75mA,
2.1mA, 2.5mA, 3mA, 3.5mA, 4mA and 4.5mA. In the
parallel programming mode the SCK pin can select either
3.5mA or 1.75mA.

Applications Information
Optional LVDS Driver Internal Termination
Digital Output Randomizer
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
A2. 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
doubled to maintain the same output voltage swing. In the
parallel programming mode the SDO pin enables internal
termination. Internal termination should only be used with
1.75mA, 2.1mA or 2.5mA LVDS output current modes.
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.
Data Format
Table 2 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 A1.

The digital output is randomized by applying an exclusiveOR logic operation between the LSB and all other data
output bits. To decode, the reverse operation is applied
—an exclusive-OR operation is applied between the LSB
and all other bits. The FR and DCO outputs are not affected.
The output randomizer is enabled by serially programming
mode control register A1.
Digital Output Test Pattern
To allow in-circuit testing of the digital interface to the
A/D, there is a test mode that forces the A/D data outputs
(D13-D0) of all channels to known values. The digital
output test patterns are enabled by serially programming
mode control registers A3 and A4. When enabled, the test
patterns override all other formatting modes: 2’s complement and randomizer.
Output Disable
The digital outputs may be disabled by serially programming mode control register A2. The current drive for all
digital outputs including DCO and FR are disabled to save
power or enable in-circuit testing. When disabled the common mode of each output pair becomes high impedance,
but the differential impedance may remain low.

by mode control register A1 (serial programming 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 internal capacitor values and no additional external
capacitance, the A/D will stabilize after 2ms.
To use the parallel programming mode, PAR/SER should
be tied to VDD. The CS, SCK, SDI and SDO 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. When used as an input, SDO should
be driven through a 1k series resistor. Table 3 shows the
modes set by CS, SCK, SDI and SDO.
In nap mode any combination of A/D channels can be
powered down while the internal reference circuits and the
PLL stay active, allowing faster wakeup 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.
Driver Amplifier Shutdown (SHDN)
The ADC drivers may be placed in shutdown mode to
conserve power independently from the ADC core. Each
ADC driver has an independent SHDN pin but it is expected
that all four will be tied together.
Device Programming Modes
The operating modes of the LTM9012 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.

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 sections). During a read back command the
register is not updated and data on SDI is ignored.

LTM9012
Applications Information
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 4 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.

The pin assignments of the LTM9012 allow a flow-through
layout that makes it possible to use multiple parts in a
small area when a large number of ADC channels are
required. The LTM9012 has similar layout rules to other
BGA packages. The layout can be implemented with 6mil
blind vias and 5mil traces. The pinout has been designed
to minimize the space required to route the analog and
digital traces. The analog and digital traces can essentially
be routed within the width of the package. This allows
multiple packages to be located close together for high
channel count applications. Trace lengths for the analog
inputs and digital outputs should be matched as well as
possible. Table 5 lists the trace lengths for the analog inputs
and digital outputs inside the package from the die pad to
the package pad. These should be added to the PCB trace
lengths for best matching.

The LTM9012 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.
Bypass capacitors are integrated inside the package; additional capacitance is optional.
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.
Layout Recommendations
Most of the heat generated by the LTM9012 is transferred
from the die through the bottom side of the package
through numerous ground pins onto the printed circuit
board. For good electrical and thermal performance, these
pins should be connected to the internal ground planes
by an array of vias.
