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 with GND and OGND
shorted (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: 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 of greater than 100mA below GND without latchup.
Note 5: VDD = OVDD = 1.8V, fSAMPLE = 20MHz, LVDS outputs, differential

Note 6: 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 7: Offset error is the offset voltage measured from –0.5 LSB when
the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111

PIN FUNCTIONS
PINS THAT ARE THE SAME FOR ALL DIGITAL
OUTPUT MODES
ENC+ (Pin 18): Encode Input. Conversion starts on the
rising edge.
VDD (Pins 1, 16, 17, 64): Analog Power Supply, 1.7V to
1.9V. Bypass to ground with 0.1μF ceramic capacitors.
Adjacent pins can share a bypass capacitor.
ENC– (Pin 19): Encode Complement Input. Conversion
starts on the falling edge. Tie to GND for single-ended
encode mode.
VCM1 (Pin 2): Common Mode Bias Output, nominally equal
to VDD/2. VCM1 should be used to bias the common mode
of the analog inputs to channel 1. Bypass to ground with
a 1μF ceramic capacitor.
CS (Pin 20): 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 = VDD), CS controls the clock duty cycle stabilizer
(See Table 2). CS can be driven with 1.8V to 3.3V logic.
GND (Pins 3, 6, 14): ADC Power Ground.
AIN1+ (Pin 4): Channel 1 Positive Differential Analog
Input.
AIN1– (Pin 5): Channel 1 Negative Differential Analog
Input.
REFH (Pins 7, 9): ADC High Reference. See the Applications Information section for recommended bypassing
circuits for REFH and REFL.
REFL (Pins 8, 10): ADC Low Reference. See the Applications Information section for recommended bypassing
circuits for REFH and REFL.
PAR/SER (Pin 11): Programming mode selection pin. Connect to ground to enable the serial programming mode.
CS, SCK, SDI, SDO become a serial interface that control
the A/D operating modes. Connect to VDD to enable the
parallel programming mode where CS, SCK, SDI, SDO
become parallel logic inputs that control a reduced set of
the A/D operating modes. PAR/SER should be connected
directly to ground or VDD and not be driven by a logic signal.
AIN2+ (Pin 12): Channel 2 Positive Differential Analog
Input.
AIN2– (Pin 13): Channel 2 Negative Differential Analog
Input.
VCM2 (Pin 15): Common Mode Bias Output, nominally
equal to VDD/2. VCM2 should be used to bias the common
mode of the analog inputs to channel 2. Bypass to ground
with a 1μF ceramic capacitor.
SCK (Pin 21): In serial programming mode, (PAR/SER =
0V), SCK is the Serial Interface Clock Input. In the parallel
programming mode (PAR/SER = VDD), SCK controls the
digital output mode. (See Table 2). SCK can be driven with
1.8V to 3.3V logic.
SDI (Pin 22): 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 = VDD), SDI can be used together with SDO to power
down the part (see Table 2). SDI can be driven with 1.8V
to 3.3V logic.
OGND (Pin 41): Output Driver Ground. Must be shorted
to the ground plane by a very low inductance path. Use
multiple vias close to the pin.
OVDD (Pin 42): Output Driver Supply. Bypass to ground
with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor.
SDO (Pin 61): 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 necessary and SDO can be left unconnected. In the
parallel programming mode (PAR/SER = VDD), SDO can
be used together with SDI to power down the part (see
Table 2). When used as an input, SDO can be driven with
1.8V to 3.3V logic through a 1k series resistor.

PIN FUNCTIONS
VREF (Pin 62): Reference Voltage Output. Bypass to
ground with a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor. The output voltage
is nominally 1.25V.
SENSE (Pin 63): Reference Programming Pin. Connecting
SENSE to VDD selects the internal reference and a ±1.05V
input range. Connecting SENSE to ground selects the
internal reference and a ±0.525V input range. An external
reference between 0.625V and 1.3V applied to SENSE
selects an input range of ±0.84 • VSENSE.
Ground (Exposed Pad Pin 65): The exposed pad must be
soldered to the PCB ground.

LTC2270
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2270 is a low power, two-channel, 16-bit, 20Msps
A/D converter that is powered by a single 1.8V supply. The
analog inputs must 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.
ANALOG INPUT
The analog inputs are differential CMOS sample-and-hold
circuits (Figure 2). The inputs should be driven differentially around a common mode voltage set by the VCM1 or
VCM2 output pins, which are nominally VDD/2. For the 2.1V
input range, the inputs should swing from VCM – 525mV
to VCM + 525mV. There should be 180° phase difference
between the inputs.
The two channels are simultaneously sampled by a shared
encode circuit (Figure 2).
INPUT DRIVE CIRCUITS
Input filtering
If possible, there should be an RC lowpass filter right at
the analog inputs. This lowpass filter 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 filter. 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 VCM, setting the A/D input at its optimal
DC level. At higher input frequencies a transmission line
balun transformer (Figure 4 to Figure 5) has better balance,
resulting in lower A/D distortion.

Reference
Figure 6 shows the analog input being driven by a high
speed differential amplifier. The output of the amplifier is
AC-coupled to the A/D so the amplifier’s output common
mode voltage can be optimally set to minimize distortion.
The LTC2270 has an internal 1.25V voltage reference. For
a 2.1V input range using the internal reference, connect
SENSE to VDD. For a 1.05V input range using the internal
reference, connect SENSE to ground. For a 2.1V input
range with an external reference, apply a 1.25V reference
voltage to SENSE (Figure 9).
If DC coupling is necessary, use a differential amplifier
with an output common mode set by the LTC2270 VCM
pin (Figure 7).

Encode Inputs
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 (Figure 12 and
Figure 13). The encode inputs are internally biased to 1.2V
through 10kΩ equivalent resistance. The encode inputs
can be taken above VDD (up to 3.6V), and the common
mode range is from 1.1V to 1.6V. In the differential encode

avoid falsely triggering the single ended encode mode.
For good jitter performance ENC+ and 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.

For applications where the sample rate needs to be changed
quickly, the clock duty cycle stabilizer can be disabled. If
the duty cycle stabilizer is disabled, care should be taken
to make the sampling clock have a 50% (±5%) duty cycle.
The duty cycle stabilizer should not be used below 2Msps.

For good performance the encode signal should have a

stabilizer circuit is enabled, the encode duty cycle can
vary from 10% to 90% and the duty cycle stabilizer will
maintain a constant 50% internal duty cycle. If the encode
signal changes frequency, 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).

Figure 13. PECL or LVDS Encode Drive
The LTC2270 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 mode). Note that
double data rate CMOS cannot be selected in the parallel
programming mode.

LTC2270
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Full Rate CMOS Mode
In full rate CMOS mode the data outputs (D1_0 to D1_15
and D2_0 to D2_15), overflow (OF2, OF1), and the data
output clocks (CLKOUT+, CLKOUT–) have CMOS output
levels. The outputs are powered by OVDD and OGND which
are isolated from the A/D core power and ground. OVDD
can range from 1.1V to 1.9V, allowing 1.2V through 1.8V
CMOS logic outputs.
For good performance the digital outputs should drive
minimal capacitive loads. If the load capacitance is larger
than 10pF a digital buffer should be used.
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 digital lines by seventeen, simplifying board routing
and reducing the number of input pins needed to receive
the data. The data outputs (D1_0_1, D1_2_3, D1_4_5,
D1_6_7, D1_8_9, D1_10_11, D1_12_13, D1_14_15,
D2_0_1, D2_2_3, D2_4_5, D2_6_7, D2_8_9, D2_10_11,
D2_12_13, D2_14_15), overflow (OF2_1), and the data
output clocks (CLKOUT+, CLKOUT–) have CMOS output
levels. The outputs are powered by OVDD and OGND which
are isolated from the A/D core power and ground. OVDD
can range from 1.1V to 1.9V, allowing 1.2V through 1.8V
CMOS logic outputs. Note that the overflow for both ADC
channels is multiplexed onto the OF2_1 pin.
For good performance the digital outputs should drive
minimal capacitive loads. If the load capacitance is larger
than 10pF a digital buffer should be used.
Double Data Rate LVDS Mode
In double data rate LVDS mode, two data bits are multiplexed and output on each differential output pair. There
are eight LVDS output pairs per ADC channel (D1_0_1+/
D1_0_1– through D1_14_15+/D1_14_15– and D2_0_1+/
D2_0_1– through D2_14_15+/D2_14_15–) for the digital
output data. Overflow (OF2_1+/OF2_1–) and the data
output clock (CLKOUT+/CLKOUT–) each have an LVDS
output pair. Note that the overflow for both ADC channels
is multiplexed onto the OF2_1+/OF2_1– output pair.
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 and OGND which are
isolated from the A/D core power and ground. In LVDS
mode, OVDD must be 1.8V.
Programmable LVDS Output Current
In LVDS mode, the default output driver current is 3.5mA.
This current can be adjusted by serially programming mode
control register A3. Available current levels are 1.75mA,
2.1mA, 2.5mA, 3mA, 3.5mA, 4mA and 4.5mA.
Optional LVDS Driver Internal Termination
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
A3. 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.
Overflow Bit
The overflow output bit outputs a logic high when the
analog input is either over-ranged or under-ranged. The
overflow bit has the same pipeline latency as the data bits.
In Full-Rate CMOS mode each ADC channel has its own
overflow pin (OF1 for channel 1, OF2 for channel 2). In
DDR CMOS or DDR LVDS mode the overflow for both ADC
channels is multiplexed onto the OF2_1 output.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Phase Shifting the Output Clock
DATA FORMAT
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+. To allow adequate
set-up and hold time when latching the data, the CLKOUT+
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.
Table 1 shows the relationship between the analog input
voltage, the digital data output bits and the overflow bit.
By default the output data format is offset binary. The 2’s
complement format can be selected by serially programming mode control register A4.

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).
