MAX1213N

19-3863; Rev 0; 4/06 KIT ATION EVALU E L B A AVAIL 1.8V, Low-Power, 12-Bit, 170Msps ADC for Broadband Applications General Description The MAX1213N is a monolithic, 12-bit, 170Msps analog-to-digital converter (ADC) optimized for outstanding dynamic performance at high-IF frequencies beyond 300MHz. The product operates with conversion rates up to 170Msps while consuming only 720mW. At 170Msps and an input frequency up to 100MHz, the MAX1213N achieves an 87dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) with excellent 67.2dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that remains flat (within 2dB) for input tones up to 250MHz. This makes it ideal for wideband applications such as communications receivers, cable-head end receivers, and power-amplifier predistortion in cellular base-station transceivers. The MAX1213N operates from a single 1.8V power supply. The analog input is designed for AC-coupled differential or single-ended operation. The ADC also features a selectable on-chip divide-by-2 clock circuit that accepts clock frequencies as high as 340MHz. A lowvoltage differential signal (LVDS) sampling clock is recommended for best performance. The converter provides LVDS-compatible digital outputs with data format selectable to be either two’s complement or offset binary. The MAX1213N is available in a 68-pin QFN package with exposed paddle (EP) and is specified over the industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
