µModule® Analog-To-Digital Converter: LTM9012

July 18, 2012

dw9073Linear Technology introduces the LTM9012, a quad 14-bit, 125 Msps µModule® analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated fixed gain drivers, passive filtering and bypass capacitance. The integrated µModule converters offer dramatic reduction in board space for high channel-count applications as diverse as medical imaging systems and MIMO 4 G base stations.

This high level of integration enables smaller boards with greater density, while eliminating costly layout iterations often required to optimize the driver-to-ADC interface. This results in a significant reduction in design and debug time and faster time to market. The LTM9012 is in an easy-to-use 15 × 11.25 mm BGA µModule package.

Additional Features:

  • 4-Channel Simultaneous Sampling ADC with Integrated, Fixed Gain, Differential Drivers
  • 68.3 dB SNR
  • 78 dB SFDR
  • Low Power: 1.27 W Total, 318 mW per Channel
  • 1.8V ADC Core and 3.3V Analog Input Supply
  • Serial LVDS Outputs: 1 or 2 Bits per Channel
  • Shutdown and Nap Modes
  • 11.25mm × 15mm BGA Package
