210Msps/170Msps ADCs
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®2157-14/LTC2156-14/LTC2155-14 are 2-channel
simultaneous sampling 250Msps/210Msps/170Msps
14-bit A/D converters designed for digitizing high fre-
quency, wide dynamic range signals. They are perfect
for demanding communications applications with AC
performance that includes 70dB SNR and 90dB spurious
freedynamicrange(SFDR). The1.25GHzinputbandwidth
allows the ADC to undersample high frequencies with
good performance. The latency is only five clock cycles.

The ENC and ENC inputs can be driven differentially with
asinewave,PECL,LVDS,TTL,orCMOSinputs.Anoptional
clock duty cycle stabilizer allows high performance at full
speed for a wide range of clock duty cycles.
