The LTC
®
2268-12/LTC2267-12/LTC2266-12 are 2-channel,
simultaneous sampling 12-bit A/D converters designed
for digitizing high frequency, wide dynamic range signals.
They are perfect for demanding communications applica-
tions with AC performance that includes 70.6dB SNR and
88dB spurious free dynamic range (SFDR). Ultralow jitter
of 0.15psRMS allows undersampling of IF frequencies with
excellent noise performance.
DC specs include ±0.3LSB INL (typ), ±0.1LSB DNL (typ)
and no missing codes over temperature. The transition
noise is a low 0.3LSBRMS.
The digital outputs are serial LVDS to minimize the num-
ber of data lines. Each channel outputs two bits at a time
(2-lane mode). At lower sampling rates there is a one bit
per channel option (1-lane mode). 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 al-
lows high performance at full speed for a wide range of
clock duty cycles.

The l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range, otherwise specifications are at TA = 25°C.
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 and 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 = 125MHz (LTC2268), 105MHz
(LTC2267), or 80MHz (LTC2266), 2-lane output mode, ENC+ = single-
ended 1.8V square wave, ENC = 0V, input range = 2VP-P with differential
drive, unless otherwise noted. The supply current and power dissipation
specifications are totals for the entire chip, not per channel.
Note 10: Recommended operating conditions.
Note 11: The maximum sampling frequency depends on the speed grade
of the part and also which serialization mode is used. The maximum serial
data rate is 1000Mbps so tSER must be greater than or equal to 1ns.

pin FuncTions
AIN1+ (Pin 1): Channel 1 Positive Differential Analog
Input.
AIN1 (Pin 2): Channel 1 Negative Differential Analog
Input.
VCM1 (Pin 3): Common Mode Bias Output, Nominally Equal
to VDD/2. VCM should be used to bias the common mode
of the analog inputs of channel 1. Bypass to ground with
a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
REFH (Pins 4,5): ADC High Reference. Bypass to pins 6, 7
with a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor and to ground with a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor.
REFL (Pins 6,7): ADC Low Reference. Bypass to pins 4, 5
with a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor and to ground with a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor.
VCM2 (Pin 8): Common Mode Bias Output, Nominally Equal
to VDD/2. VCM should be used to bias the common mode
of the analog inputs of channel 2. Bypass to ground with
a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
AIN2+ (Pin 9): Channel 2 Positive Differential Analog
Input.
AIN2 (Pin 10): Channel 2 Negative Differential Analog
Input.
VDD (Pins 11, 12, 39, 40): 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 13): Encode Input. Conversion starts on the
rising edge.
ENC (Pin 14): Encode Complement Input. Conversion
starts on the falling edge.
CS (Pin 15): 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 selects 2-lane or 1-lane output mode. CS can
be driven with 1.8V to 3.3V logic.
SCK (Pin 16): In serial programming mode, (PAR/SER =
0V), SCK is the serial interface clock input. In the parallel
programming mode (PAR/SER= VDD), SCK selects 3.5mA
or 1.75mA LVDS output currents. SCK can be driven with
1.8V to 3.3V logic.
SDI (Pin 17): 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 to power down the part. SDI can
be driven with 1.8V to 3.3V logic.
GND (Pins 18, 33, 37, Exposed Pad Pin 41): ADC Power
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB
ground.
OGND (Pin 25): 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 26): Output Driver Supply, 1.7V to 1.9V. Bypass
to ground with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
SDO (Pin 34): 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 is an input that
enables internal 100Ω termination resistors on the digital
outputs. When used as an input, SDO can be driven with
1.8V to 3.3V logic through a 1k series resistor.
PAR/SER (Pin 35): 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
LTC2268-12/
LTC2267-12/LTC2266-12
17
22687612fa
the A/D operating modes. PAR/SER should be connected
directly to ground or the VDD of the part and not be driven
by a logic signal.
VREF (Pin 36): Reference Voltage Output. Bypass to ground

CONVERTER OPERATION
The LTC2268-12/LTC2267-12/LTC2266-12 are low power,
2-channel, 12-bit, 125Msps/105Msps/80Msps A/D con-
verters that are powered by a single 1.8V supply. The
analog inputs should be driven differentially. The encode
input can be driven differentially for optimal jitter perfor-
mance, or single ended for lower power consumption.
To minimize the number of data lines the digital outputs
are serial LVDS. Each channel outputs two bits at a time
(2-lane mode). At lower sampling rates there is a one bit
per channel option (1-lane mode). Many additional features
can be chosen by programming the mode control registers
through a serial SPI port.
applicaTions inForMaTion
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 2V input
range, the inputs should swing from VCM – 0.5V to VCM
+ 0.5V. 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 6) has better balance,
resulting in lower A/D distortion.
applicaTions inForMaTion
Amplifier Circuits
Figure 7 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 amplifiers output common
mode voltage can be optimally set to minimize distor-
tion.
At very high frequencies an RF gain block will often
have lower distortion than a differential amplifier. If the
gain block is single-ended, then a transformer circuit
(Figures 4 to 6) should convert the signal to differential
before driving the A/D.

Reference
The LTC2268-12/LTC2267-12/LTC2266-12 has an internal
1.25V voltage reference. For a 2V input range using the
internal reference, connect SENSE to VDD. For a 1V input
range using the internal reference, connect SENSE to
ground. For a 2V 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 1.6 VSENSE.
applicaTions inForMaTion
The reference is shared by both ADC channels, so it is
not possible to independently adjust the input range of
individual channels.
The VREF, REFH and REFL pins should be bypassed as
shown in Figure 8. The 0.1µF capacitor between REFH
and REFL should be as close to the pins as possible (not
on the backside of the circuit board).
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 sinu-
soidal, PECL, or LVDS encode inputs (Figures 12 and 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 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.
applicaTions inForMaTion
Clock PLL and Duty Cycle Stabilizer
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.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The digital outputs of the LTC2268-12/LTC2267-12/
LTC2266-12 are serialized LVDS signals. Each channel
outputs two bits at a time (2-lane mode). At lower sam-
pling rates there is a one bit per channel option (1-lane
mode). The data can be serialized with 16-, 14-, or 12-bit
serialization (see Timing Diagrams for details).
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. In the 2-lane, 14-bit serialization
mode, the frequency of the FR output is halved.
The maximum serial data rate for the data outputs is 1Gbps,
so the maximum sample rate of the ADC will depend on
the serialization mode as well as the speed grade of the
ADC (see Table 1). The minimum sample rate for all seri-
alization modes is 5Msps.

By default the outputs are standard LVDS levels: 3.5mA
output current and a 1.25V output common mode volt-
age. 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.
Programmable LVDS Output Current
The default output driver current is 3.5mA. This current
can be adjusted by control register A2 in the serial pro-
gramming mode. Available current levels are 1.75mA,
2.1mA, 2.5mA, 3mA, 3.5mA, 4mA and 4.5mA. In the
parallel programming mode the SCK pin can select either
3.5mA or 1.75mA.
Optional LVDS Driver Internal Termination
In most cases using just an external 100Ω termination
resistor will give excellent LVDS signal integrity. In addi-
tion, 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. In the
Parallel Programming Mode, the SDO pin enables internal
termination. Internal termination should only be used with
1.75mA, 2.1mA or 2.5mA LVDS output current modes.
applicaTions inForMaTion
DATA FORMAT
Table 2 shows the relationship between the analog input
voltage and the digital data output bits. By default the
output data format is offset binary. The 2’s complement
format can be selected by serially programming mode
control register A1.
In addition to the 12 data bits (D11 - D0), two additional
bits (DX and DY) are sent out in the 14-bit and 16-bit
serialization modes. These extra bits are to ensure com-
plete software compatibility with the 14-bit versions of
these A/Ds. During normal operation when the analog
inputs are not overranged, DX and DY are always logic 0.
When the analog inputs are overranged positive, DX and
DY become logic 1. When the analog inputs are overranged
negative, DX and DY become logic 0. DX and DY can also
be controlled by the digital output test pattern. See the
Timing Diagrams section for more information.

Digital Output Randomizer
Interference from the A/D digital outputs is sometimes
unavoidable. Digital interference may be from capacitive or
inductive coupling or coupling through the ground plane.
Even a tiny coupling factor can cause unwanted tones
in the ADC output spectrum. By randomizing the digital
output before it is transmitted off chip, these unwanted
tones can be randomized which reduces the unwanted
tone amplitude.
The digital output is randomized by applying an exclu-
sive-OR logic operation between the LSB and all other
data output bits. To decode, the reverse operation is
applied—an exclusive-OR operation is applied between
the LSB and all other bits. The FR and DCO outputs are
not affected. The output randomizer is enabled by serially
programming mode control register A1.
Digital Output Test Pattern
To allow in-circuit testing of the digital interface to the
A/D, there is a test mode that forces the A/D data outputs
(D11-D0, DX, DY) of both channels to known values. The
digital output test patterns are enabled by serially program-
ming mode control registers A3 and A4. When enabled,
the test patterns override all other formatting modes: 2’s
complement and randomizer.
Output Disable
The digital outputs may be disabled by serially program-
ming mode control register A2. The current drive for all
digital outputs including DCO and FR are disabled to save
power or enable in-circuit testing. When disabled the com-
mon mode of each output pair becomes high impedance,
but the differential impedance may remain low.
Sleep and Nap Modes
The A/D may be placed in sleep or nap modes to conserve
power. In sleep mode the entire device is powered down,
resulting in 1mW power consumption. Sleep mode is
enabled by mode control register A1 (serial program-
ming mode), or by SDI (parallel programming mode).
The amount of time required to recover from sleep mode
depends on the size of the bypass capacitors on VREF,
REFH, and REFL. For the suggested values in Figure 8,
the A/D will stabilize after 2ms.
applicaTions inForMaTion
In nap mode any combination of A/D channels can be
powered down while the internal reference circuits and the
PLL stay active, allowing faster wake-up than from sleep
mode. Recovering from nap mode requires at least 100
clock cycles. If the application demands very accurate DC
settling then an additional 50µs should be allowed so the
on-chip references can settle from the slight temperature
shift caused by the change in supply current as the A/D
leaves nap mode. Nap mode is enabled by mode control
register A1 in the serial programming mode.
DEVICE PROGRAMMING MODES
The operating modes of the LTC2268-12/LTC2267-12/
LTC2266-12 can be programmed by either a parallel
interface or a simple serial interface. The serial interface
has more flexibility and can program all available modes.
The parallel interface is more limited and can only program
some of the more commonly used modes.
Parallel Programming Mode
To use the parallel programming mode, PAR/SER should
be tied to VDD. The CS, SCK, SDI and SDO pins are binary
logic inputs that set certain operating modes. These pins
can be tied to VDD or ground, or driven by 1.8V, 2.5V, or
3.3V CMOS logic. When used as an input, SDO should
be driven through a 1k series resistor. Table 3 shows the
modes set by CS, SCK, SDI and SDO.

Serial Programming Mode
To use the serial programming mode, PAR/SER should be
tied to ground. The CS, SCK, SDI and SDO pins become
a serial interface that programs the A/D mode control
registers. Data is written to a register with a 16-bit serial
word. Data can also be read back from a register to verify
its contents.
Serial data transfer starts when CS is taken low. The data
on the SDI pin is latched at the first 16 rising edges of
SCK. Any SCK rising edges after the first 16 are ignored.
The data transfer ends when CS is taken high again.
The first bit of the 16-bit input word is the R/W bit. The
next seven bits are the address of the register (A6:A0).
The final eight bits are the register data (D7:D0).
If the R/W bit is low, the serial data (D7:D0) will be written
to the register set by the address bits (A6:A0). If the R/W bit
is high, data in the register set by the address bits (A6:A0)
applicaTions inForMaTion
will be read back on the SDO pin (see the Timing Diagrams
section). During a read back command the register is not
updated and data on SDI is ignored.
The SDO pin is an open-drain output that pulls to ground
with a 200Ω impedance. If register data is read back
through SDO, an external 2k pull-up resistor is required. If
serial data is only written and read back is not needed, then
SDO can be left floating and no pull-up resistor is needed.
Table 4 shows a map of the mode control registers.
Software Reset
If serial programming is used, the mode control registers
should be programmed as soon as possible after the power
supplies turn on and are stable. The first serial command
must be a software reset which will reset all register data bits
to logic 0. To perform a software reset, bit D7 in the reset
register is written with a logic 1. After the reset SPI write
command is complete, bit D7 is automatically set back to zero.

GROUNDING AND BYPASSING
The LTC2268-12/LTC2267-12/LTC2266-12 requires a
printed circuit board with a clean unbroken ground plane.
A multilayer board with an internal ground plane in the
first layer beneath the ADC is recommended. Layout for
the printed circuit board should ensure that digital and
analog signal 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 VDD, OVDD, VCM, VREF, REFH and REFL pins. Bypass
capacitors 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 on the same
side of the circuit board as the A/D, and as close to the
device as possible (1.5mm or less). Size 0402 ceramic
capacitors are recommended. The larger 2.2µF capacitor
between REFH and REFL can be somewhat further away.
The traces connecting the pins and bypass capacitors must
be kept short and should be made as wide as possible.
The analog inputs, encode signals, and digital outputs
should not be routed next to each other. Ground fill and
grounded vias should be used as barriers to isolate these
signals from each other.
HEAT TRANSFER
Most of the heat generated by the LTC2268-12/LTC2267-12/
LTC2266-12 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 must be soldered to a large
grounded pad on the PC board. This pad should be con-
nected to the internal ground planes by an array of vias.
