General Description
The MAX1448 +3V, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) features a fully differential input, a pipelined 10stage ADC architecture with wideband track-and-hold
(T/H), and digital error correction incorporating a fully
differential signal path. The ADC is optimized for lowpower, high dynamic performance in imaging and digital communications applications. The converter
operates from a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply, consuming only 120mW while delivering a 59dB (typ) signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) at a 20MHz input frequency. The fully
differential input stage has a -3dB 400MHz bandwidth
and may be operated with single-ended inputs. In addition to low operating power, the MAX1448 features a
5µA power-down mode for idle periods.
An internal +2.048V precision bandgap reference is
used to set the ADC full-scale range. A flexible reference structure allows the user to supply a buffered,
direct, or externally derived reference for applications
requiring increased accuracy or a different input voltage range.
Lower speed, pin-compatible versions of the MAX1448
are also available. Please refer to the MAX1444 data
sheet for a 40Msps version and to the MAX1446 data
sheet for a 60Msps version.
The MAX1448 has parallel, offset binary, CMOS-compatible three-state outputs that can be operated from
+1.7V to +3.6V to allow flexible interfacing. The device
is available in a 5mm x 5mm 32-pin TQFP package and
is specified over the extended industrial (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range.

Note 1: SNR, SINAD, THD, SFDR and HD3 are based on an analog input voltage of -0.5dB FS referenced to a +1.024V full-scale
input voltage range.
Note 2: Intermodulation distortion is the total power of the intermodulation products relative to the individual carrier. This number is
6dB better if referenced to the two-tone envelope.
Note 3: Digital outputs settle to V
IH,VIL
.
Note 4: With REFIN driven externally, REFP, COM, and REFN are left floating while powered down.
Note 5: Equivalent dynamic performance is obtainable over full OV
DD
range with reduced CL.
