FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®2238/LTC2237/LTC2236 are 10-bit 65Msps/
40Msps/25Msps, low power 3V A/D converters designed
for digitizing high frequency, wide dynamic range signals.
The LTC2238/LTC2237/LTC2236 are perfect for demand-
ing imaging and communications applications with AC
performance that includes 61.8dB SNR and 85dB SFDR
for signals at the Nyquist frequency.
