This document explains how to maximize the performance of a 16-bit, 105Msps ADC through careful IF signal chain design. It discusses the advantages and characteristics of the ADC.
This document contains two technical articles from Linear Technology Magazine, dated December 2009. The first article details design ideas for optimizing an IF signal chain to maximize the performance of the LTC2274, a 16-bit, 105Msps ADC. It discusses component selection and topology, including the use of TriQuint Semiconductor amplifiers and SAW filters.
The LTC2274 has a sample rate of 105Msps.
The signal chain supports a bandwidth of 20MHz.
The SAW filter has an insertion loss of about -15dB.
