LTC2249 Input range

Product Number: LTC2249

Hi

According to LTC2249 datasheet for the ±1v mode (V sense connect to Vdd), is the ADC's full scale range 7dBm for a 100-ohm input impedance ?

Due to a 73dB SNR is the minimum input power level of ADC -66dBm?

Best regard

  • Hi jessi,

    Thanks for your interest in LTC2249.

    According to LTC2249 datasheet for the ±1v mode (V sense connect to Vdd), is the ADC's full scale range 7dBm for a 100-ohm input impedance ?

    Yes, this is correct. The ADC full-scale swing is 2Vpp and is equivalent to 6.9897dBm for 100-ohm input impedance.

    Due to a 73dB SNR is the minimum input power level of ADC -66dBm?

    No. The SNR parameter is in dBFS scale, and not should be interpreted in dBm. SNR (dBFS) = Signal (dBFS) - Noise (dBFS)

    As for the 73dBFS SNR, the analog signal is -1dBFS as per test conditions.

    Regards,
