MAX1196

19-2600; Rev 0; 9/02 Dual 8-Bit, 40Msps, 3V, Low-Power ADC with Internal Reference and Multiplexed Parallel Outputs General Description The MAX1196 is a 3V, dual 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring fully differential wideband trackand-hold (T/H) inputs, driving two ADCs. The MAX1196 is optimized for low power, small size, and high-dynamic performance for applications in imaging, instrumentation, and digital communications. This ADC operates from a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply, consuming only 87mW while delivering a typical signal-to-noise and distortion (SINAD) of 48.4dB at an input frequency of 20MHz and a sampling rate of 40Msps. The T/H driven input stages incorporate 400MHz (-3dB) input amplifiers. The converters can also be operated with singleended inputs. In addition to low operating power, the MAX1196 features a 3mA sleep mode as well as a 0.1µA power-down mode to conserve power during idle periods. An internal 2.048V precision bandgap reference sets the full-scale range of the ADC. A flexible reference structure allows the use of this internal or an externally applied reference, if desired for applications requiring increased accuracy or a different input voltage range. The MAX1196 features parallel, multiplexed, CMOScompatible three-state outputs. The digital output format can be set to two’s complement or straight offset binary through a single control pin. The device provides for a separate output power supply of 1.7V to 3.6V for flexible interfacing....
