DC specs include ±1LSB INL (typ), ±0.2LSB DNL (typ)
and no missing codes over temperature. The transition
noise is 1.44LSBRMS.
To minimize the number of data lines the digital outputs
are serial LVDS. Each channel outputs one bit, two bits or
four bits at a time. The LVDS drivers have optional internal
termination and adjustable output levels to ensure clean
signal integrity.
The ENC+ and ENC– inputs may be driven differentially or
single ended with a sine wave, PECL, LVDS, TTL or CMOS
inputs. An internal 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 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, 2-lane output mode,
differential ENC+/ENC– = 2VP-P sine wave, input range = 2.1VP-P with
differential drive, unless otherwise noted.

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 –0.5LSB when the
output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111
1111 in 2’s complement output mode.
Note 8: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 9: VDD = OVDD=1.8V, fSAMPLE = 20MHz, 2-lane output mode, ENC+
= single-ended 1.8V square wave, ENC– = 0V, input range = 2.1VP-P with
differential drive, unless otherwise noted. The supply current and power
dissipation specifications are totals for the entire IC, not per channel.

of the analog inputs of channel 1. Bypass to ground with
a 1μF ceramic capacitor.
GND (Pins 2, 5, 13, 22, 45, 47, 49, Exposed Pad Pin 53):

Input.
AIN2– (Pin 12): Channel 2 Negative Differential Analog
Input.

Adjacent pins can share a bypass capacitor.
ENC+ (Pin 17): Encode Input. Conversion starts on the
rising edge.
ENC– (Pin 18): Encode Complement Input. Conversion
starts on the falling edge. Tie to GND for single-ended
encode mode.
CS (Pin 19): 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 along with SCK selects 1-,
2- or 4-lane output mode (see Table 3). CS can be driven
with 1.8V to 3.3V logic.

can be driven with 1.8V to 3.3V logic.
SDI (Pin 21): 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 pode (PAR/SER
= VDD), SDI can be used to power down the part. SDI can
be driven with 1.8V to 3.3V logic.
OGND (Pin 33): Output Driver Ground. This pin must be

is an open-drain NMOS output that requires an external
2k pull-up resistor to 1.8V to 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 selects
3.5mA or 1.75mA LVDS output currents. When used as an
input, SDO can be driven with 1.8V to 3.3V logic through
a 1k series resistor.
VREF (Pin 48): Reference Voltage Output. Bypass to ground
with a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor. The reference output is
nominally 1.25V.

LTC2271
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2271 is a low power, 2-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. To minimize the number of data lines
the digital outputs are serial LVDS. Each channel outputs
one bit at a time (1-lane mode), two bits at a time (2-lane
mode) or four bits at a time (4-lane mode). 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-andhold 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 (Figures 4 to 5) has better balance,
resulting in lower A/D distortion.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Reference
The LTC2271 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).
The input range can be adjusted by applying a voltage to
SENSE that is between 0.625V and 1.30V. The input range
will then be 1.68 • VSENSE.
The VREF, REFH and REFL pins should be bypassed as
shown in Figure 8. A low inductance 2.2μF interdigitated
capacitor is recommended for the bypass between REFH
and REFL. This type of capacitor is available at a low cost
from multiple suppliers.
Figure 8c and 8d show the recommended circuit board
layout for the REFH/REFL bypass capacitors. Note that in
Figure 8c, every pin of the interdigitated capacitor (C1)
is connected since the pins are not internally connected
in some vendors’ capacitors. In Figure 8d the REFH and
REFL pins are connected by short jumpers in an internal
layer. To minimize the inductance of these jumpers they
can be placed in a small hole in the GND plane on the
second board layer.

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
VDD (up to 3.6V), and the common mode range is from 1.1V
to 1.6V. In the differential encode mode, ENC– should stay
at least 200mV above ground to avoid falsely triggering the
single-ended encode mode. For good jitter performance
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
LTC2271
VDD
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. If the encode signal is turned
off or drops below approximately 500kHz, the A/D enters
nap mode.

The encode clock is multiplied by an internal phase-locked
loop (PLL) to generate the serial digital output data. If the
encode signal changes frequency or is turned off, the PLL
requires 25μs to lock onto the input clock.
A clock duty cycle stabilizer circuit allows the duty cycle
of the applied encode signal to vary from 30% to 70%.
In the serial programming mode it is possible to disable
the duty cycle stabilizer, but this is not recommended. In
the parallel programming mode the duty cycle stabilizer
is always enabled.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Optional LVDS Driver Internal Termination
The digital outputs of the LTC2271 are serialized LVDS
signals. Each channel outputs one bit at a time (1-lane
mode), two bits at a time (2-lane mode) or four bits at a
time (4-lane mode). Please refer to the Timing Diagrams
for details. In 4-lane mode the clock duty cycle stabilizer
must be enabled.
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
A2. 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. Internal termination can only be selected in serial
programming mode.
The output data should be latched on the rising and falling
edges of the data clock out (DCO). A data frame output
(FR) can be used to determine when the data from a new
conversion result begins.
The minimum sample rate for all serialization modes is
5Msps.
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 which is isolated from
the A/D core power.
