48-Pin TSSOP Package
The LTC
®
1744 is a 50Msps, sampling 14-bit A/D con-
verter designed for digitizing high frequency, wide dynamic
range signals. Pin selectable input ranges of
±1V
and
±1.6V
along with a resistor programmable mode allow the
LTC1744’s input range to be optimized for a wide variety
of applications.
The LTC1744 is perfect for demanding communications
applications with AC performance that includes 77dB
SNR and 87dB spurious free dynamic range. Ultralow jitter
of 0.3ps
RMS
allows undersampling of IF frequencies with
excellent noise performance. DC specs include
±4LSB
maximum INL and no missing codes over temperature.
The digital interface is compatible with 5V, 3V and 2V logic
systems. The ENC and ENC inputs may be driven differen-
tially from PECL, GTL and other low swing logic families or
from single-ended TTL or CMOS. The low noise, high gain
ENC and ENC inputs may also be driven by a sinusoidal
signal without degrading performance. A separate output
power supply can be operated from 0.5V to 5V, making it
easy to connect directly to any low voltage DSPs or FIFOs.
The TSSOP package with a flow-through pinout simplifies
the board layout.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All voltage values are with respect to ground with GND
(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 6:
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.

Bipolar offset is the offset voltage measured from – 0.5 LSB
when the output code flickers between 00 0000 0000 0000 and 11
