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.
