General Description
The MAX12528 is a dual 80Msps, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring fully differential wideband
track-and-hold (T/H) inputs, driving internal quantizers.
The MAX12528 is optimized for low power, small size,
and high dynamic performance in intermediate frequency (IF) and baseband sampling applications. This dual
ADC operates from a single 3.3V supply, consuming
only 726mW while delivering a typical 69.8dB signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) performance at a 175MHz input frequency. The T/H input stages accept single-ended or
differential inputs up to 400MHz. In addition to low operating power, the MAX12528 features a 330µW powerdown mode to conserve power during idle periods.
A flexible reference structure allows the MAX12528 to
use the internal 2.048V bandgap reference or accept
an externally applied reference and allows the reference to be shared between the two ADCs. The reference structure allows the full-scale analog input range
to be adjusted from ±0.35V to ±1.15V. The MAX12528
provides a common-mode reference to simplify design
and reduce external component count in differential
analog input circuits.
The MAX12528 supports either a single-ended or differential input clock. User-selectable divide-by-two (DIV2)
and divide-by-four (DIV4) modes allow for design flexibility and help eliminate the negative effects of clock jitter.
Wide variations in the clock duty cycle are compensated
with the ADC’s internal duty-cycle equalizer (DCE).
The MAX12528 features two parallel, 12-bit-wide,
CMOS-compatible outputs. The digital output format is
pin-selectable to be either two’s complement or Gray
code. A separate power-supply input for the digital outputs accepts a 1.7V to 3.6V voltage for flexible interfacing with various logic levels. The MAX12528 is available
in a 10mm x 10mm x 0.8mm, 68-pin thin QFN package
with exposed paddle (EP), and is specified for the
extended (-40° C to +85° C) temperature range.
