Receiver Subsystem Bridges the Gap
Between RF & Digital Worlds
The LTM9001 is the first in a series of System in a Package (SiP) signal chain receiver modules, leveraging Linear’s uModule™ packaging technology. This family of integrated receiver subsystems is intended to bridge the expertise gap between the RF world and digital domain to provide ease of use and shortened time to market. The LTM9001 is a semi-customizable IF/baseband receiver subsystem that includes a high performance 16-bit Analog-to-Digital converter (ADC) sampling up to 160 Ms/s, an anti-aliasing filter, and fixed gain differential ADC driver. Sampling high dynamic range signals in RF applications requires extensive experience to maximize the full capabilities of the analog-to-digital converter. The LTM9001 transfers the burden of component selection, input impedance matching, filter design and layout from designer to device, shortening overall design time, system troubleshooting and ultimately improving time to market. The beauty of the LTM9001 lies in its semi-customization. Using pin-compatible product families, the LTM9001 can be configured for various sampling rates and the differential ADC driver can be substituted for fixed gain versions ranging from 8dB up to 26dB. The anti-aliasing filters can also be configured as Low-Pass or Bandpass filter versions, accepting input frequencies as high as 300 MHz. The LTM9001 is packaged in a space-saving 11.25 mm × 11.25 mm LGA package, utilizing a multi-layer substrate that shields sensitive analog lines from the digital traces.
