DC specs include ±0.3LSB INL (typ), ±0.2LSB DNL (typ)
and no missing codes over temperature. The transition
noise is a low 0.5LSBRMS.
A separate output power supply allows the outputs to
drive 0.5V to 3.6V logic.
The ENC+ and ENC – inputs may be driven differentially
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.

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 ground with GND and OGND
wired together (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 = 105MHz (LTC2222) or 80MHz (LTC2223),
differential ENC+/ENC– = 2VP-P sine wave, input range = 2VP-P with
differential drive, unless otherwise noted.

Note 5: Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 6: Offset error is the offset voltage measured from –0.5 LSB when
the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111 in
2’s complement output mode.
Note 7: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 8: VDD = 3.3V, fSAMPLE = 105MHz (LTC2222) or 80MHz (LTC2223),
differential ENC+/ENC– = 2VP-P sine wave, input range = 1VP-P with
differential drive.

OE to VDD results in normal operation with the outputs at
high impedance. Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE to GND
results in nap mode with the outputs at high impedance.
Connecting SHDN to VDD and OE to VDD results in sleep
mode with the outputs at high impedance.
D0 – D11 (Pins 21, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 34, 35, 36,
39, 40): Digital Outputs. D11 is the MSB.
OVDD (Pins 23, 28, 33, 37): Positive Supply for the
Output Drivers. Bypass to ground with 0.1μF ceramic
chip capacitors.
OF (Pin 41): Over/Under Flow Output. High when an over
or under flow has occurred.
MODE (Pin 42): Output Format and Clock Duty Cycle
Stabilizer Selection Pin. Connecting MODE to 0V selects
offset binary output format and turns the clock duty cycle
stabilizer off. Connecting MODE to 1/3 VDD selects offset
binary output format and turns the clock duty cycle stabilizer
on. Connecting MODE to 2/3 VDD selects 2’s complement
output format and turns the clock duty cycle stabilizer on.
Connecting MODE to VDD selects 2’s complement output
format and turns the clock duty cycle stabilizer off.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion Ratio
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.
The 3rd order intermodulation products are 2fa + fb, 2fb
+ fa, 2fa – fb and 2fb – fa. The intermodulation distortion
is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of either
input tone to the RMS value of the largest 3rd order intermodulation product.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
The signal-to-noise ratio (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 and DC.
Spurious free dynamic range is the peak harmonic or spurious noise that is the largest spectral component excluding
the input signal and DC. This value is expressed in decibels
relative to the RMS value of a full scale input signal.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Input 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 input bandwidth is that input frequency at which the
amplitude of the reconstructed fundamental is reduced
by 3dB for a full scale input signal.
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. The THD calculated in this data
sheet uses all the harmonics up to the fifth.
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 a rising ENC+ equals the ENC– voltage
to the instant that the input signal is held by the sample
and hold 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)

LTC2222/LTC2223
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LTC2222/LTC2223 is a CMOS
pipelined multistep converter. The converter has five pipelined ADC stages; a sampled analog input will result in a
digitized value five cycles later (see the Timing Diagram
section). For optimal AC performance the analog inputs
should be driven differentially. For cost sensitive applications, the analog inputs can be driven single-ended with
slightly worse harmonic distortion. The encode input is
differential for improved common mode noise immunity.
The LTC2222/LTC2223 has two phases of operation, determined by the state of the differential ENC+/ENC– input
pins. For brevity, the text will refer to ENC+ greater than
ENC– as ENC high and ENC+ less than ENC– as ENC low.
Each pipelined stage shown in Figure 1 contains an ADC,
a reconstruction DAC and an interstage residue 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 the odd stages are outputting
their residue, the even stages are acquiring that residue
and vice versa.
When ENC is low, 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 ENC transitions from low to high, the sampled input is
held. While ENC is high, 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 during this high phase of ENC. When ENC goes back low, 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 ENC goes back high,
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 ADC 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 synchronized 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 LTC2222/
LTC2223 CMOS differential sample-and-hold. The analog
inputs are connected to the sampling capacitors (CSAMPLE)
through NMOS transistors. The capacitors shown attached
to each input (CPARASITIC) are the summation of all other
capacitance associated with each input.

LTC2222/LTC2223
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
During the sample phase when ENC is low, the transistors
connect the analog inputs to the sampling capacitors and
they charge to, and track the differential input voltage.
When ENC transitions from low to high, the sampled input
voltage is held on the sampling capacitors. During the
hold phase when ENC is high, the sampling capacitors are
disconnected from the input and the held voltage is passed
to the ADC core for processing. As ENC transitions from
high to low, 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. If the change between the last sample
and 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.
ENC, the sample-and-hold circuit will connect the 1.6pF
sampling capacitor to the input pin and start the sampling
period. The sampling period ends when ENC rises, 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/(2FENCODE); 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.
Single-Ended Input
Figure 3 shows the LTC2222/LTC2223 being driven by
an RF transformer with a center tapped secondary. The
secondary center tap is DC biased with VCM, setting the
ADC input signal at its optimum DC level. Terminating on
the transformer secondary is desirable, as this provides
a common mode path for charging glitches caused by
the sample and hold. Figure 3 shows a 1:1 turns ratio
transformer. Other turns ratios can be used if the source
impedance seen by the ADC does not exceed 100Ω for each
ADC input. 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 cost sensitive applications, the analog inputs can be
driven single-ended. With a single-ended input the harmonic distortion and INL will degrade, but the SNR and
DNL will remain unchanged. For a single-ended input, AIN+
should be driven with the input signal and AIN– should be
connected to 1.6V or VCM.
Common Mode Bias
For optimal performance the analog inputs should be driven
differentially. Each input should swing ±0.5V for the 2V
range or ±0.25V for the 1V range, around a common mode
voltage of 1.6V. The VCM output pin (Pin 44) may be used
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 a 2.2μF or greater capacitor.
For the best performance, it is recommended to have a
source impedance of 100Ω or less for each input. The
source impedance should be matched for the differential
inputs. Poor matching will result in higher even order
harmonics, especially the second.

LTC2222/LTC2223
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 4 demonstrates the use of a differential amplifier to
convert a single ended input signal into a differential input
signal. The advantage of this method is that it provides
low frequency input response; however, the limited gain
bandwidth of most op amps will limit the SFDR at high
input frequencies.
Figure 5 shows a single-ended input circuit. The impedance
seen by the analog inputs should be matched. This circuit
is not recommended if low distortion is required.
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. For input frequencies higher than 100MHz, the capacitor may need to be
decreased to prevent excessive signal loss.
For input frequencies above 100MHz the input circuits of
Figure 6, 7 and 8 are recommended. The balun transformer
gives better high frequency response than a flux coupled
center tapped transformer. The coupling capacitors allow
the analog inputs to be DC biased at 1.6V. In Figure 8 the
series inductors are impedance matching elements that
maximize the ADC bandwidth.
Reference Operation
Figure 9 shows the LTC2222/LTC2223 reference circuitry
consisting of a 1.6V bandgap reference, a difference amplifier and switching and control circuit. The internal voltage
reference can be configured for two pin selectable input
ranges of 2V (±1V differential) or 1V (±0.5V differential).
Tying the SENSE pin to VDD selects the 2V range; typing
the SENSE pin to VCM selects the 1V range.
The 1.6V bandgap reference serves two functions: its
output provides a DC bias point for setting the common
mode voltage of any external input circuitry; additionally,
the reference is used with a difference amplifier to generate the differential reference levels needed by the internal
ADC circuitry. An external bypass capacitor is required
for the 1.6V reference output, VCM. This provides a high
frequency low impedance path to ground for internal and
external circuitry.
The difference amplifier generates the high and low
reference for the ADC. High speed switching circuits are
connected to these outputs and they must be externally
bypassed. Each output has four pins: two each of REFHA
and REFHB for the high reference and two each of REFLA
and REFLB for the low reference. The multiple output pins
are needed to reduce package inductance. Bypass capacitors must be connected as shown in Figure 9.
Other voltage ranges in between the pin selectable ranges
can be programmed with two external resistors as shown
in Figure 10. An external reference can be used by applying its output directly or through a resistor divider to
SENSE. It is not recommended to drive the SENSE pin
with a logic device. The SENSE pin should be tied to the
appropriate level 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 a 1μF
ceramic capacitor.

LTC2222/LTC2223
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Input Range
The input range can be set based on the application.
The 2V input range will provide the best signal-to-noise
performance while maintaining excellent SFDR. The 1V
input range will have better SFDR performance, but the
SNR will degrade by 5dB. See the Typical Performance
Characteristics section.
The noise performance of the LTC2222/LTC2223 can
depend on the encode signal quality as much as on the
analog input. The ENC+/ENC– inputs are intended to be
driven differentially, primarily for noise immunity from
common mode noise sources. Each input is biased
through a 6k resistor to a 1.6V bias. The bias resistors
set the DC operating point for transformer coupled drive
circuits and can set the logic threshold for single-ended
drive circuits.
Any noise present on the encode signal will result in additional aperture jitter that will be RMS summed with the
inherent ADC aperture jitter.

22223 F11
Figure 11. Transformer Driven ENC+/ENC–
4. Balance the capacitance and series resistance at both
encode inputs so that any coupled noise will appear at
both inputs as common mode noise. The encode inputs
have a common mode range of 1.1V to 2.5V. Each input
may be driven from ground to VDD for single-ended
drive.
Maximum and Minimum Encode Rates
The maximum encode rate for the LTC2222/LTC2223 is
105Msps (LTC2222) and 80Msps (LTC2223). For the
ADC to operate properly, the encode signal should have a
50% (±5%) duty cycle. Each half cycle must have at least
4.5ns (LTC2222) or 5.9ns (LTC2223) for the ADC internal
circuitry to have enough settling time for proper operation.
Achieving a precise 50% duty cycle is easy with differential
sinusoidal drive using a transformer or using symmetric
differential logic such as PECL or LVDS.
An optional clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit can be used
if the input clock has a non 50% duty cycle. This circuit
uses the rising edge of the ENC+ pin to sample the analog
input. The falling edge of ENC+ is ignored and the internal
falling edge is generated by a phase-locked loop. The input
clock duty cycle can vary from 20% to 80% 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 a hundred
clock cycles for the PLL to lock onto the input clock. To
use the clock duty cycle stabilizer, the MODE pin should be
connected to 1/3VDD or 2/3VDD using external resistors.

LTC2222/LTC2223
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The lower limit of the LTC2222/LTC2223 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 LTC2222/LTC2223 is 1Msps.
