MAX12555
The MAX12555 is a 3.3V, 14-bit, 95Msps analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) featuring a fully differential wideband
track-and-hold (T/H) input amplifier, driving a low-noise
internal quantizer. The analog input stage accepts single-
ended or differential signals. The MAX12555 is optimized
for high dynamic performance, low power, and small
size. Excellent dynamic performance is maintained from
baseband to input frequencies of 175MHz and beyond,
making the MAX12555 ideal for intermediate-
frequency (IF) sampling applications.
Powered from a single 3.3V supply, the MAX12555 con-
sumes only 497mW while delivering a typical 72.1dB
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance at a 175MHz
input frequency. In addition to low operating power, the
MAX12555 features a 300µW power-down mode to
conserve power during idle periods.
A flexible reference structure allows the MAX12555 to use
the internal 2.048V bandgap reference or accept an
externally applied reference. The reference structure
allows the full-scale analog input range to be adjusted
from ±0.35V to ±1.10V. The MAX12555 provides a com-
mon-mode reference to simplify design and reduce exter-
nal component count in differential analog input circuits.
The MAX12555 supports either a single-ended or differ-
ential input clock. Wide variations in the clock duty
cycle are compensated with the ADC’s internal duty-
cycle equalizer (DCE).
ADC conversion results are available through a 14-bit,
parallel, CMOS-compatible output bus. The digital out-
put format is pin selectable to be either two’s comple-
ment or Gray code. A data-valid indicator eliminates
external components that are normally required for reli-
able digital interfacing. A separate digital power input
accepts a wide 1.7V to 3.6V supply, allowing the
MAX12555 to interface with various logic levels.
The MAX12555 is available in a 6mm x 6mm x 0.8mm,
40-pin thin QFN package with exposed paddle (EP),
and is specified for the extended industrial (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range.
See the
Pin-Compatible Versions
table for a complete
family of 14-bit and 12-bit high-speed ADCs.
