Low Noise 3V ADC
The LTC
®
2289 is a 10-bit 80Msps, low noise 3V dual A/D
converter designed for digitizing high frequency, wide
dynamic range signals. The LTC2289 is perfect for
demanding imaging and communications applications
with AC performance that includes 61.6dB SNR and 85dB
SFDR for signals well beyond the Nyquist frequency.
DC specs include ±0.1LSB INL (typ), ±0.1LSB DNL (typ)
and ±0.6LSB INL, ±0.5LSB DNL over temperature. The
transition noise is a low 0.08LSB
RMS
.
A single 3V supply allows low power operation. A separate
output supply allows the outputs to drive 0.5V to 3.6V
logic. An optional multiplexer allows both channels to
share a digital output bus.
A single-ended CLK input controls converter operation. An
optional clock duty cycle stabilizer allows high perfor-
mance at full speed for a wide range of clock duty cycles.

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.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
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.
Total Harmonic Distortion
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:
THD = 20Log ( (V2
2
+ V3
2
+ V4
2
+ . . . Vn
2
)/V1)
where V1 is the RMS amplitude of the fundamental fre-
quency 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.
If two pure sine waves of frequencies fa and fb are applied
to the ADC input, nonlinearities in the ADC transfer func-
tion can create distortion products at the sum and differ-
ence frequencies of mfa ± nfb, where m and n = 0, 1, 2, 3,
etc. The 3rd order intermodulation products are 2fa + fb,
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
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.
Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
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.
Input Bandwidth
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.
Aperture Delay Time
The time from when CLK reaches midsupply 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:
SNR
JITTER
= –20log (2π • f
IN
• t
JITTER
)
Crosstalk
Crosstalk is the coupling from one channel (being driven
by a full-scale signal) onto the other channel (being driven
by a –1dBFS signal).
CONVERTER OPERATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LTC2289 is a dual CMOS
pipelined multistep converter. The converter has six
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
LTC2289
12
2289fa
applications, the analog inputs can be driven single-ended
with slightly worse harmonic distortion. The CLK input is
single-ended. The LTC2289 has two phases of operation,
determined by the state of the CLK input pin.
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 CLK 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 CLK transitions from low to high, the sampled input is
held. While CLK 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 CLK. When CLK 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 CLK goes back high,
the second stage produces its residue which is acquired
by the third stage. An identical process is repeated for the
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
third, fourth and fifth stages, resulting in a fifth stage
residue that is sent to the sixth 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 LTC2289
CMOS differential sample-and-hold. The analog inputs are
connected to the sampling capacitors (C
SAMPLE
) through
NMOS transistors. The capacitors shown attached to each
input (C
PARASITIC
) are the summation of all other capaci-
tance associated with each input.
During the sample phase when CLK is low, the transistors
connect the analog inputs to the sampling capacitors and
they charge to and track the differential input voltage.
When CLK transitions from low to high, the sampled input
voltage is held on the sampling capacitors. During the hold
phase when CLK is high, the sampling capacitors are
disconnected from the input and the held voltage is passed
to the ADC core for processing. As CLK 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.
Single-Ended Input
For cost sensitive applications, the analog inputs can be
driven single-ended. With a single-ended input the har-
monic distortion and INL will degrade, but the SNR and
DNL will remain unchanged. For a single-ended input, A
IN+
should be driven with the input signal and A
IN
should be
connected to 1.5V or V
CM
.
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 1.5V. The V
CM
output pin may
be used to provide the common mode bias level. V
CM
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 V
CM
pin must be bypassed to
ground close to the ADC with a 2.2µF or greater capacitor.
Input Drive Impedance
As with all high performance, high speed ADCs, the
dynamic performance of the LTC2289 can be influenced
by the input drive circuitry, particularly the second and
third harmonics. Source impedance and reactance can
influence SFDR. At the falling edge of CLK, the sample-
and-hold circuit will connect the 4pF sampling capacitor to
the input pin and start the sampling period. The sampling
period ends when CLK 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/(2F
ENCODE
); however, this is
not always possible and the incomplete settling may
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
degrade the SFDR. The sampling glitch has been designed
to be as linear as possible to minimize the effects of
incomplete settling.
For the best performance, it is recommended to have a
source impedance of 100 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.
Input Drive Circuits
Figure 3 shows the LTC2289 being driven by an RF
transformer with a center tapped secondary. The second-
ary center tap is DC biased with V
CM
, setting the ADC input
signal at its optimum DC level. Terminating on the trans-
former 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 100 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.

Figure 4 demonstrates the use of a differential amplifier to
convert a single ended input signal into a differential input

frequencies.

The 25 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 above 70MHz, the input circuits of
Figure 6, 7 and 8 are recommended. The balun trans-
former gives better high frequency response than a flux
coupled center tapped transformer. The coupling capaci-
tors allow the analog inputs to be DC biased at 1.5V. In
Figure 8, the series inductors are impedance matching
elements that maximize the ADC bandwidth.

Reference Operation
Figure 9 shows the LTC2289 reference circuitry consisting
of a 1.5V bandgap reference, a difference amplifier and
switching and control circuit. The internal voltage refer-
ence can be configured for two pin selectable input ranges
of 2V (±1V differential) or 1V (±0.5V differential). Tying the
SENSE pin to V
DD
selects the 2V range; tying the SENSE
pin to V
CM
selects the 1V range.
The 1.5V 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 gener-
ate the differential reference levels needed by the internal
ADC circuitry. An external bypass capacitor is required for
the 1.5V reference output, V
CM
. This provides a high
frequency low impedance path to ground for internal and
external circuitry.
The difference amplifier generates the high and low refer-
ence for the ADC. High speed switching circuits are
connected to these outputs and they must be externally
bypassed. Each output has two pins. The multiple output
pins are needed to reduce package inductance. Bypass
capacitors must be connected as shown in Figure 9. Each
ADC channel has an independent reference with its own
bypass capacitors. The two channels can be used with the
same or different input ranges.
Other voltage ranges 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.
For the best channel matching, connect an external reference
to SENSEA and SENSEB.

Input Range
The input range can be set based on the application. The
2V input range will provide the best signal-to-noise perfor-
mance while maintaining excellent SFDR. The 1V input
range will have better SFDR performance, but the SNR will
degrade by 0.7dB. See the Typical Performance Charac-
teristics section.
Driving the Clock Input
The CLK inputs can be driven directly with a CMOS or TTL
level signal. A sinusoidal clock can also be used along with
a low jitter squaring circuit before the CLK pin (Figure 11).

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
The noise performance of the LTC2289 can depend on the
clock signal quality as much as on the analog input. Any
noise present on the clock signal will result in additional
aperture jitter that will be RMS summed with the inherent
ADC aperture jitter.
In applications where jitter is critical, such as when digitiz-
ing high input frequencies, use as large an amplitude as
possible. Also, if the ADC is clocked with a sinusoidal
signal, filter the CLK signal to reduce wideband noise and
distortion products generated by the source.
It is recommended that CLKA and CLKB are shorted
together and driven by the same clock source. If a small
time delay is desired between when the two channels
sample the analog inputs, CLKA and CLKB can be driven
by two different signals. If this delay exceeds 1ns, the
performance of the part may degrade. CLKA and CLKB
should not be driven by asynchronous signals.
Figures 12 and 13 show alternative for converting a
differential clock to the single-ended CLK input. The use of
a transformer provides no incremental contribution to
phase noise. The LVDS or PECL to CMOS translators
provide little degradation below 70MHz, but at 140MHz
will degrade the SNR compared to the transformer solu-
tion. The nature of the received signals also has a large
bearing on how much SNR degradation will be experi-
enced. For high crest factor signals such as WCDMA or
OFDM, where the nominal power level must be at least 6dB
to 8dB below full scale, the use of these translators will
have a lesser impact.

The transformer shown in the example may be terminated
with the appropriate termination for the signaling in use.
The use of a transformer with a 1:4 impedance ratio may
be desirable in cases where lower voltage differential
signals are considered. The center tap may be bypassed to
ground through a capacitor close to the ADC if the differ-
ential signals originate on a different plane. The use of a
capacitor at the input may result in peaking, and depend-
ing on transmission line length may require a 10 to 20
ohm series resistor to act as both a low pass filter for high
frequency noise that may be induced into the clock line by
neighboring digital signals, as well as a damping mecha-
nism for reflections.
Maximum and Minimum Conversion Rates
The maximum conversion rate for the LTC2289 is 80Msps.
For the ADC to operate properly, the CLK signal should
LTC2289
17
2289fa
have a 50% (±5%) duty cycle. Each half cycle must have
at least 5.9ns for the ADC internal circuitry to have enough
settling time for proper operation.
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 CLK pin to sample the analog
input. The falling edge of CLK is ignored and the internal
falling edge is generated by a phase-locked loop. The
input clock duty cycle can vary from 40% to 60% 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. The MODE pin controls both Channel A and
Channel B—the duty cycle stabilizer is either on or off for
both channels.
The lower limit of the LTC2289 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 fre-
quency for the LTC2289 is 1Msps.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Table 1 shows the relationship between the analog input
voltage, the digital data bits, and the overflow bit.
Digital Output Buffers
Figure 14 shows an equivalent circuit for a single output
buffer. Each buffer is powered by OV
DD
and OGND, iso-
lated from the ADC power and ground. The additional
N-channel transistor in the output driver allows operation
down to low voltages. The internal resistor in series with
the output makes the output appear as 50 to external
circuitry and may eliminate the need for external damping
resistors.

As with all high speed/high resolution converters, the
digital output loading can affect the performance. The
digital outputs of the LTC2289 should drive a minimal
capacitive load to avoid possible interaction between the
digital outputs and sensitive input circuitry. The output
should be buffered with a device such as an ALVCH16373

should be kept under 10pF.

Sleep and Nap Modes
The converter may be placed in shutdown or nap modes
to conserve power. Connecting SHDN to GND results in
normal operation. Connecting SHDN to V
DD
and OE to V
DD
results in sleep mode, which powers down all circuitry
including the reference and typically dissipates 1mW. When
exiting sleep mode it will take milliseconds for the output
data to become valid because the reference capacitors have
to recharge and stabilize. Connecting SHDN to V
DD
and OE
to GND results in nap mode, which typically dissipates
30mW. In nap mode, the on-chip reference circuit is kept
on, so that recovery from nap mode is faster than that from
sleep mode, typically taking 100 clock cycles. In both sleep
and nap modes, all digital outputs are disabled and enter
the Hi-Z state.
Channels A and B have independent SHDN pins (SHDNA,
SHDNB). Channel A is controlled by SHDNA and OEA, and
Channel B is controlled by SHDNB and OEB. The nap, sleep
and output enable modes of the two channels are completely
independent, so it is possible to have one channel operat-
ing while the other channel is in nap or sleep mode.
Digital Output Multiplexer
The digital outputs of the LTC2289 can be multiplexed onto
a single data bus. The MUX pin is a digital input that swaps
the two data busses. If MUX is High, Channel A comes out
on DA0-DA9, OFA; Channel B comes out on DB0-DB9, OFB.
If MUX is Low, the output busses are swapped and Chan-
nel A comes out on DB0-DB9, OFB; Channel B comes out
on DA0-DA9, OFA. To multiplex both channels onto a single
output bus, connect MUX, CLKA and CLKB together (see
the Timing Diagram for the multiplexed mode). The mul-
tiplexed data is available on either data bus—the unused
data bus can be disabled with its OE pin.
Grounding and Bypassing
The LTC2289 requires a printed circuit board with a clean,
unbroken ground plane. A multilayer board with an inter-
nal ground plane is recommended. Layout for the printed
circuit board should ensure that digital and analog signal

When OF outputs a logic high the converter is either
overranged or underranged.
Output Driver Power
Separate output power and ground pins allow the output
drivers to be isolated from the analog circuitry. The power
supply for the digital output buffers, OV
DD
, should be tied
to the same power supply as for the logic being driven. For
example, if the converter is driving a DSP powered by a 1.8V
supply, then OV
DD
should be tied to that same 1.8V supply.
OV
DD
can be powered with any voltage from 500mV up to
3.6V. OGND can be powered with any voltage from GND up
to 1V and must be less than OV
DD
. The logic outputs will
swing between OGND and OV
DD
.
Output Enable
The outputs may be disabled with the output enable pin, OE.
OE high disables all data outputs including OF. The data ac-
cess and bus relinquish times are too slow to allow the
outputs to be enabled and disabled during full speed op-
eration. The output Hi-Z state is intended for use during long
periods of inactivity. Channels A and B have independent
output enable pins (OEA, OEB).

lines are separated as much as possible. In particular, care
should be taken not to run any digital track alongside an
analog signal track or underneath the ADC.
High quality ceramic bypass capacitors should be used at
the V
DD
, OV
DD
, V
CM
, REFH, and REFL pins. Bypass capaci-
tors must be located as close to the pins as possible. Of
particular importance is the 0.1µF capacitor between
REFH and REFL. This capacitor should be placed as close
to the device as possible (1.5mm or less). A size 0402
ceramic capacitor is recommended. The large 2.2µF ca-
pacitor between REFH and REFL can be somewhat further
away. The traces connecting the pins and bypass capaci-
tors must be kept short and should be made as wide as
possible.
The LTC2289 differential inputs should run parallel and
close to each other. The input traces should be as short as
possible to minimize capacitance and to minimize noise
pickup.
Heat Transfer
Most of the heat generated by the LTC2289 is transferred
from the die through the bottom-side exposed pad and
package leads onto the printed circuit board. For good
electrical and thermal performance, the exposed pad
should be soldered to a large grounded pad on the PC
board. It is critical that all ground pins are connected to a
ground plane of sufficient area.
Clock Sources for Undersampling
Undersampling raises the bar on the clock source and the
higher the input frequency, the greater the sensitivity to
clock jitter or phase noise. A clock source that degrades
SNR of a full-scale signal by 1dB at 70MHz will degrade
SNR by 3dB at 140MHz, and 4.5dB at 190MHz.
In cases where absolute clock frequency accuracy is
relatively unimportant and only a single ADC is required,
a 3V canned oscillator from vendors such as Saronix or
Vectron can be placed close to the ADC and simply
connected directly to the ADC. If there is any distance to
the ADC, some source termination to reduce ringing that
may occur even over a fraction of an inch is advisable. You
must not allow the clock to overshoot the supplies or
performance will suffer. Do not filter the clock signal with
a narrow band filter unless you have a sinusoidal clock
source, as the rise and fall time artifacts present in typical
digital clock signals will be translated into phase noise.
The lowest phase noise oscillators have single-ended
sinusoidal outputs, and for these devices the use of a filter
close to the ADC may be beneficial. This filter should be
close to the ADC to both reduce roundtrip reflection times,
as well as reduce the susceptibility of the traces between
the filter and the ADC. If you are sensitive to close-in phase
noise, the power supply for oscillators and any buffers
must be very stable, or propagation delay variation with
supply will translate into phase noise. Even though these
clock sources may be regarded as digital devices, do not
operate them on a digital supply. If your clock is also used
to drive digital devices such as an FPGA, you should locate
the oscillator, and any clock fan-out devices close to the
ADC, and give the routing to the ADC precedence. The
clock signals to the FPGA should have series termination
at the source to prevent high frequency noise from the
FPGA disturbing the substrate of the clock fan-out device.
If you use an FPGA as a programmable divider, you must
re-time the signal using the original oscillator, and the re-
timing flip-flop as well as the oscillator should be close to
the ADC, and powered with a very quiet supply.
For cases where there are multiple ADCs, or where the
clock source originates some distance away, differential
clock distribution is advisable. This is advisable both from
the perspective of EMI, but also to avoid receiving noise
from digital sources both radiated, as well as propagated
in the waveguides that exist between the layers of multi-
layer PCBs.
The differential pairs must be close together, and dis-
tanced from other signals. The differential pair should be
guarded on both sides with copper distanced at least 3x
the distance between the traces, and grounded with vias
no more than 1/4 inch apart.
