MAXIM MAX12554 Technical data

General Description

The MAX12554 is a 3.3V, 14-bit, 80Msps 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 MAX12554 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 MAX12554 ideal for intermediate­frequency (IF) sampling applications.

Powered from a single 3.3V supply, the MAX12554 con­sumes only 429mW while delivering a typical 70.9dB
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance at a 175MHz
input frequency. In addition to low operating power, the
MAX12554 features a 300µW power-down mode to
conserve power during idle periods.

A flexible reference structure allows the MAX12554 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 MAX12554 provides a com­mon-mode reference to simplify design and reduce exter­nal component count in differential analog input circuits.

The MAX12554 supports either a single-ended or differ­ential input clock. Wide variations in the clock duty
cycle are compensated with the ADC’s internal duty­cycle equalizer (DCE).

ADC conversion results are available through a 14-bit,
parallel, CMOS-compatible output bus. The digital out­put format is pin selectable to be either two’s comple­ment or Gray code. A data-valid indicator eliminates
external components that are normally required for reli­able digital interfacing. A separate digital power input
accepts a wide 1.7V to 3.6V supply, allowing the
MAX12554 to interface with various logic levels.

The MAX12554 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.
