General Description
The MAX1181 is a +3V, dual 10-bit, analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) featuring fully-differential wideband
track-and-hold (T/H) inputs, driving two pipelined, nine-
stage ADCs. The MAX1181 is optimized for low-power,
high-dynamic performance applications in imaging,
instrumentation, and digital communication applica-
tions. The MAX1181 operates from a single +2.7V to
+3.6V supply, consuming only 246mW, while delivering
a typical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 59dB at an input
frequency of 20MHz and a sampling rate of 80Msps.
The T/H driven input stages incorporate 400MHz (-3dB)
input amplifiers. The converters may also be operated
with single-ended inputs. In addition to low operating
power, the MAX1181 features a 2.8mA sleep mode, as
well as a 1µA power-down mode to conserve power
during idle periods.
An internal +2.048V precision bandgap reference sets
the full-scale range of the ADC. A flexible reference
structure allows the use of the internal or external
reference, if desired for applications requiring
increased accuracy or a different input voltage range.
The MAX1181 features parallel, CMOS-compatible
three-state outputs. The digital output format is set to
two’s complement or straight offset binary through a
single control pin. The device provides for a separate
output power supply of +1.7V to +3.6V for flexible inter-
facing. The MAX1181 is available in a 7mm
✕
7mm, 48-
pin TQFP package, and is specified for the extended
industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
Pin-compatible higher and lower speed versions of the
MAX1181 are also available. Please refer to the
MAX1180 datasheet for 105Msps, the MAX1182
datasheet for 65Msps, the MAX1183 datasheet for
40Msps, and the MAX1184 datasheet for 20Msps. In
addition to these speed grades, this family includes a
20Msps multiplexed output version (MAX1185), for
which digital data is presented time-interleaved on a
single, parallel 10-bit output port.
