DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1250 is an evaluation board featur-
ing Linear Technology Corporation’s LTM9001 16-bit
Receiver Subsystem. DC1250 demonstrates good circuit
layout techniques and recommended external circuitry
for optimal system performance.
DC1250 comes installed with one of Linear Technology’s
16-bit LTM9001 amplifier/ADC subsystems. The board
includes a wideband input transformer (for evaluation
with a single-ended RF signal generator) and output
CMOS buffers. The LTM9001 is also capable of gene-
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Validating the performance of the LTM9001 is simple
with DC1250, and requires only an input source, a clock
source, a computer, and a lab power supply. Refer to
Figure 1 for proper board evaluation equipment setup
and follow the procedure below:
1. Connect the power supply as shown in Figure 1. There
2. Provide an encode clock to the ADC via SMA connec-

are on-board low-noise voltage regulators that provide
the three supply voltages for the LTM9001. The entire
board and all components share a common ground.
The power supply should still be a low-noise lab pow-
er supply capable of supplying at least 1 Amp.
tor J3. Use a low-phase-noise clock source such as a
filtered RF signal generator or a high-quality clock os-
cillator. Obtain DC1216 for a low-phase-noise ADC
clock source that can plug directly into DC1250.
NOTE. Similar to having a noisy input, a high-jitter (phase noise) encode
clock will degrade the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system.

LVDS outputs, obtain DC1241. DC1250 plugs into the
DC890 Data Acquisition demo board and the output can
be easily analyzed with Linear Technology’s PScope data
processing software, which is available for no charge on
our website at http://www.linear.com.

tion on Applying Input Signals). For best results, use a
low distortion, low noise signal generator with suffi-
cient filtering to avoid degrading the performance of
the amplifier and ADC.
