The LTC
®
2251/LTC2250 are 10-bit 125Msps/105Msps,
low noise 3V A/D converters designed for digitizing high
frequency, wide dynamic range signals. The LTC2251/
LTC2250 are perfect for demanding imaging and commu-
nications applications with AC performance that includes
61.6dB SNR and 85dB SFDR for signals at the Nyquist
frequency.
DC specs include
±0.1LSB
INL (typ),
±0.05LSB
DNL (typ)
and
±0.6LSB
INL,
±0.6LSB
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 3.3V
logic.
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.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All voltage values are with respect to ground with GND and OGND
wired together (unless otherwise noted).
Note 3:
When these pin voltages are taken below GND or above V
DD
, they
will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle input currents
of greater than 100mA below GND or above V
DD
without latchup.

Note 5:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
straight line passing through the actual endpoints of the transfer curve.
The deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band.
Note 6:
Offset error is the offset voltage measured from –0.5 LSB when
the output code flickers between 00 0000 0000 and 11 1111 1111.
Note 7:
