The MAX1436B octal, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) features fully differential inputs, a pipelined
architecture, and digital error correction incorporating a
fully differential signal path. This ADC is optimized for
low-power and high-dynamic performance in medical
imaging instrumentation and digital communications
applications. The MAX1436B operates from a 1.8V single supply and consumes only 743mW (93mW per
channel) while delivering a 69.9dB (typ) signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) at a 5.3MHz input frequency. In addition to
low operating power, the MAX1436B features a lowpower standby mode for idle periods.
An internal 1.24V precision bandgap reference sets the
full-scale range of the ADC. A flexible reference structure allows the use of an external reference for applications requiring increased accuracy or a different input
voltage range. The reference architecture is optimized
for low noise.
A single-ended clock controls the data-conversion
process. An internal duty-cycle equalizer compensates
for wide variations in clock duty cycle. An on-chip PLL
generates the high-speed serial low-voltage differential
signal (LVDS) clock.
The MAX1436B has self-aligned serial LVDS outputs for
data, clock, and frame-alignment signals. The output
data is presented in two’s complement or binary format.
The MAX1436B offers a maximum sample rate of
40Msps. See the
Pin-Compatible Versions
table below
for higher-speed versions. This device is available in a
small, 14mm x 14mm x 1mm, 100-pin TQFP package
with exposed pad and is specified for the extended
industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 2: Specifications at TA≥ +25°C are guaranteed by production testing. Specifications at TA< +25°C are guaranteed by design
and characterization and not subject to production testing.
Note 3: All capacitances are between the indicated pin and GND, unless otherwise noted.
Note 4: See definition in the
Parameter Definitions
section at the end of this data sheet.
Note 5: See the
Common-Mode Output (CMOUT)
section.
Note 6: Connect REFADJ to GND directly to enable internal reference mode. Connect REFADJ to AVDD directly to disable the inter-
nal bandgap reference and enable external reference mode.
Note 7: Data valid to CLKOUT rise/fall timing is measured from 50% of data output level to 50% of clock output level.
Note 8: Guaranteed by design and characterization. Not subject to production testing.
