LTM9001: 16-Bit IF/Baseband µModule Receiver

µModule® Subsystem Dramatically Reduces Design Complexity and Board Space

The LTM®9001 is a 16-bit, IF/baseband receiver subsystem that leverages years of applications engineering expertise to maximize
high speed ADC performance. The LTM9001 alleviates the need for driver and ADC impedance matching, filtering, bypass
placement and layout, eliminating long hours of troubleshooting and reducing time to market. With no external components
required, the LTM9001 provides a high performance solution in less than half the board space of a discrete implementation.

Semi-Custom Options

The µModule construction affords a new level of flexibility in application-specific standard products. Standard ADC, amplifier and
RF components can be integrated regardless of their process technology and matched with passive components to a particular
application.
Linear Technology has in place a program to deliver other speed, resolution, IF range, gain and filter configurations for nearly
any specified application. These semi-custom designs are based on existing ADCs, amplifiers and mixers with an appropriately
modified matching network. The final subsystem is then tested to the exact parameters defined for the application. The final result
is a fully integrated, accurately tested and optimized solution in the same package. For more details, contact Linear Technology.
