speed, high dynamic range ADCs.
Other members of this family include the LTC2208/
LTC2208-14 16-bit/14-bit 130Msps ADC with LVDS out-
puts. These 9mm × 9mm QFN devices are supported by
Demonstration circuit 854 (CMOS outputs) or by Dem-
onstration circuit 996 (LVDS outputs).

LTC2202 A/D converters, are listed in Table 1. LTC2204,
LTC2205, LTC2206 and LTC2207 have differential clock
inputs but use a single-ended clock input for evaluation
with the DC input on the DC919A board. Depending on the
required sample rate and input frequency, the DC919A is
supplied with the appropriate ADC and with an optimized
input circuit. The circuitry on the analog inputs is optimized
for analog input frequencies from DC to 70MHz or from
1MHz to 70MHz if using the transformer coupled input. For
higher input frequencies, contact the factory for support.

DEMO MANUAL DC919A
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 919A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC2207, LTC2206, LTC2205,
LTC2204, LTC2203, or LTC2202 A/D converters. Refer to
Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and
follow this procedure:
Setup
If a DC718 QuikEval™ II Data Analysis and Collection
System was supplied with the DC919A demonstration
circuit, follow the DC718 Quick Start Guide to install the
required software and for connecting the DC718 to the
DC919A to a PC.
DC919A Demonstration Circuit Board Jumpers
The DC919A demonstration circuit board should have
the following jumper settings as default: (as per Figure 1)
JP1: Output clock polarity: GND
JP2: SENSE: VDD, (Internal reference)
JP3: PGA: GND 2.25V range
JP4: RAND: GND Not randomized
JP5: SHDN: GND Not shutdown
JP6: DITH: GND No internal dithering
Applying Power and Signals to the DC919A
Demonstration Circuit
If a DC718 is used to acquire data from the DC919A, the
DC718 must FIRST be connected to a powered USB port
or provided an external 6V to 9V BEFORE applying 3.3V
across the pins marked “+3.3V” and “PWR GND” on the
DC919A. The DC919A demonstration circuit requires up
to 500mA depending on the sampling rate and the A/D
converter supplied.
The DC718 data collection board is powered by the USB
cable and does not require an external power supply unless
it must be connected to the PC through an unpowered hub
in which case it must be supplied an external 6V to 9V on
turrets G7(+) and G1(–) or the adjacent 2.1mm power jack.
Encode Clock
NOTE: This is a logic compatible input, contrary to the
majority of Linear Technology ADC demo boards. It is not
terminated with 50Ω.
Apply an encode clock to the SMA connector on the DC919A
demonstration circuit board marked “J3 ENCODE INPUT”.
For the best noise performance, the ENCODE INPUT
must be driven with a very low jitter source. A low jitter
3.3V oscillator with direct connection through a barrel is
recommended.
If using a sinusoidal generator, the amplitude should be
as large as possible, up to 3V
P-P
or 13dBm, filtered and
terminated with a 50Ω thru-terminator. If a generator
with 50Ω output impedance is connected via a cable, it
is recommended that a thru-terminator be used. However,
below 15MHz, it is recommended that a square wave
drive be used.
If a sinusoidal ground referenced signal, or an AC-coupled
signal is used, 1.5V to 1.7V DC bias must be introduced
via a bias tee.
DC919A has provision for a popular surface mount oscil-
lator form and some population options to select this as
the clock source. (Please see schematic.)
If only sinusoidal or clipped sinusoid signal sources are
available as the clock source for scenarios involving sam-
pling rates less than 15Msps to 20Msps, it is recommended

that a divide by 4 or divide by 8 be used. If the converter
is to be used at very low sampling rates approaching the
minimum, a higher divide ratio may be required. This is
especially important if undersampling.
If you want to use these converters at less than the minimum
sampling rate, it is recommended that you run the ADC
above the minimum rate, and decimate. If oversampling
low frequencies, the use of a sinusoid is potentially accept-
able, but it must be very clean or the low dV/dt will result
in a great sensitivity to wideband noise in the clock driver.
The use of a divider may require a bandpass filter prior to
the divider in order to achieve best SNR as the divider can
exaggerate phase noise if it is sensitive to GHz frequen-
cies. Contact Linear Technology for recommendations or
in some cases, available clock sources or dividers.
Most generators require filtering or they will compromise
both the SNR and the SFDR of the ADCs.
Generally data sheet FFT plots are taken with 10 pole LC
filters made by TTE (Los Angeles, CA) to suppress signal
generator harmonics, non-harmonically related spurs
and broad band noise. Low phase noise Agilent 8644B
generators are used with TTE band pass filters for both
the Clock input and the Analog input. In the case of the
LTC2203/LTC2202/LTC2201 we use a divide by 4.
This demo board is, populated by default for the DC input
path. There is a transformer mounted at T1, but C4, C6,
R9 and R13 are not populated. If a single-ended AC input
is required, the DC input paths must be disconnected by
removing R26, 27, 31 and 32, and the above components
installed.
