The LTC
pling 12-bit A/D converters designed for digitizing high
frequency, wide dynamic range signals. They are perfect
for demanding communications applications with AC
performance that includes 71.1dB SNR and 88dB spurious
free dynamic range (SFDR). Ultralow jitter of 0.17ps
allows undersampling of IF frequencies with excellent
noise performance.
DC specs include ±0.3LSB INL (typical), ±0.1LSB DNL
(typical) and no missing codes over temperature. The
transition noise is a low 0.3LSB
The digital outputs can be either full rate CMOS, double
data rate CMOS, or double data rate LVDS. A separate
output power supply allows the CMOS output swing to
range from 1.2V to 1.8V.
The ENC
or single-ended with a sine wave, PECL, LVDS, TTL or
CMOS inputs. An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer allows high performance at full speed for a wide range of
clock duty cycles.

CS, SCK, SDI, SDO become a serial interface that control
the A/D operating modes. Connect to V
to enable the
DD
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 V
of the part and not be driven by a
DD
logic signal.
V

DD

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 = V
), CS controls the clock duty cycle
DD
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 = V
), SCK controls the
DD
digital output mode. When SCK is low, the full-rate CMOS
output mode is enabled. When SCK is high, the double

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 =
V
), SDI can be used to power down the part. When SDI
DD
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
necessar y and SDO can be left unconnected. In the parallel
programming mode (PAR/SER = V
), SDO is not used
DD
and should not be connected.
OGND (Pin 25): Output Driver Ground.

REF
Bypass to ground with a 1µF ceramic capacitor.
SENSE (Pin 39): Reference Programming Pin. Connecting
SENSE to V
selects the internal reference and a ±1V input

CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2258-12/LTC2257-12/LTC2256-12 are low power
12-bit 65Msps/40Msps/25Msps A/D converters that are
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 V
pin, which is nominally V
/2. For the 2V input range, the
DD
output
CM
inputs should swing from V
– 0.5V to VCM + 0.5V. There
CM
should be 180° phase difference between the inputs.
INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS
Input fi ltering
If possible, there should be an RC lowpass fi lter right at
the analog inputs. This lowpass fi lter 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 fi lter. The RC component
values should be chosen based on the application’s input
frequency.
Transformer Coupled Circuits
Figure 3 shows the analog input being driven by an RF
transformer with a center-tapped secondary. The center
tap is biased with V

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 V
(up to 3.6V), and the common mode range
DD
is from 1.1V to 1.6V. In the differential encode mode,
–
should stay at least 200mV above ground to avoid
ENC
falsely triggering the single-ended encode mode. For good

jitter performance ENC

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).

DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Digital Output Modes
The LTC2258-12/LTC2257-12/LTC2256-12 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

For good performance the digital outputs should drive

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 six, simplifying board routing
and reducing the number of input pins needed to receive
the data. The 6 digital outputs (D0_1, D2_3, D4_5, D6_7,

resistors should be located as close as possible to the
LVDS receiver.

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 refl ections
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.

Phase Shifting the Output Clock
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
setup-and-hold time when latching the data, the CLKOUT
. To allow adequate
+
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.
The LTC2258-12/LTC2257-12/LTC2256-12 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).

Table 1 shows the relationship between the analog input

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.
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—an exclusive-OR operation is applied between the
LSB and all other bits. The LSB, OF and CLKOUT outputs
are not affected. The output randomizer is enabled by
serially programming mode control register A4.
Alternate Bit Polarity
Another feature that reduces digital feedback on the circuit
board is the alternate bit polarity mode. When this mode
CLKOUTCLKOUT
OF
OF
is enabled, all of the odd bits (D1, D3, D5, D7, D9, D11)
are inverted before the output buffers. The even bits (D0,
D2, D4, D6, D8, D10), OF 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.
When there is a very small signal at the input of the A/D
that is centered around midscale, 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 fi rst order,
this cancels current fl ow in the ground plane, reducing
the digital noise.
The digital output is decoded at the receiver by inverting
the odd bits (D1, D3, D5, D7, D9, D11). The alternate bit
polarity mode is independent of the digital output random-

izer—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 the A/D data
outputs (OF, D11-D0) to known values:
All 1s: All outputs are 1
All 0s: All outputs are 0
Alternating: Outputs change from all 1s to all 0s on
alternating samples
Checkerboard: Outputs change from 1010101010101
to 0101010101010 on alternating samples
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
OF and 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.
Sleep and Nap Modes
The A/D may be placed in sleep or nap modes to conserve
power. In sleep mode the entire A/D converter is powered
down, resulting in 0.5mW power consumption. Sleep mode
is enabled 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 V
REF
,
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.
DEVICE PROGRAMMING MODES
The operating modes of the LTC2258-12/LTC2257-12/
LTC2256-12 can be programmed by either a parallel
interface or a simple serial interface. The serial interface
has more fl exibility and can program all available modes.
The parallel inter face is more limited and can only program
some of the more commonly used modes.
Parallel Programming Mode
To use the parallel programming mode, PAR/SER should
be tied to V
. The CS, SCK and SDI pins are binary logic
DD
inputs that set certain operating modes. These pins can
be tied to V
or ground, or driven by 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V
DD
CMOS logic. Table 2 shows the modes set by CS, SCK
and SDI.
Table 2. Parallel Programming Mode Control Bits (PAR/SER = VDD)
PINDESCRIPTION
CSClock Duty Cycle Stabilizer Control Bit
0 = Clock Duty Cycle Stabilizer Off
1 = Clock Duty Cycle Stabilizer On
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 fi rst 16 rising edges of
SCK. Any SCK rising edges after the fi rst 16 are ignored.
The data transfer ends when CS is taken high again.
The fi rst 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 fi nal 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 fl oating 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
s h o u l d b e p r o g r a m m e d a s s o o n a s p o s s i b l e a f t e r t h e p o w e r
supplies turn on and are stable. The fi rst 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 LTC2258-12 /LTC2257-12/LTC2256-12 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 qu alit y c eramic bypass capacitors should be used at
the V
, OVDD, VCM, V
DD
, REFH and REFL pins. Bypass
REF
c a p a c i t o r s m u s t b e l o c a t e d a s c l o s e t o t h e p i n s a s p o s s i b l e .
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 V
as possible. To make space for this the capacitor on V
capacitor should be located as close to the pin
CM
REF
can be further away or on the back of the PC board. The
t ra ce s co nn ec t i ng t he pin s an d b ypa ss ca pa ci tor s m us t 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 fi ll and
grounded vias should be used as barriers to isolate these
signals from each other.
HEAT TRANSFER
Most of the heat generated by the ADC 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.
