Overview

This design document details demonstration circuit 1282A, which supports the LTC2209 family of 16-bit, high-speed, high-dynamic-range analog-to-digital converters. The circuit supports sample rates ranging from 160Msps to 185Msps across three variants (LTC2209, LTC2209#3BC, and LTC2209#3CD). The board is optimized for analog input frequencies above 160MHz and utilizes LVDS outputs. The manual includes comprehensive setup procedures, clocking and analog input network requirements, software configuration for PScope data collection, and a full bill of materials featuring components from Linear Technology, Vishay, AVX, and Fairchild Semiconductor.

Use Cases

  • Evaluation of LTC2209 high-speed 16-bit ADC performance
  • Prototyping high-frequency data acquisition systems
  • RF signal sampling and communication system development
  • Reference design for high-dynamic-range ADC hardware implementation
