NAME
FUNCTION
1, 6, 11–14, 20,
25, 62, 63, 65
AV
CC
Analog Supply Voltage. Bypass each pin with a parallel combination of 0.1µF and 0.22µF
capacitors for best decoupling results.

18, 19, 21, 24,
64, 66, 67
AGND
Analog Converter Ground
3
REFIO
Reference Input/Output. With REFADJ pulled high, this I/O port allows an external reference
source to be connected to the MAX1215. With REFADJ pulled low, the internal 1.23V bandgap
reference is active.
4
REFADJ
Reference Adjust Input. REFADJ allows for FSR adjustments by placing a resistor or trim
potentiometer between REFADJ and AGND (decreases FSR) or REFADJ and REFIO (increases
FSR). If REFADJ is connected to AV
CC
, the internal reference can be overdriven with an
external source connected to REFIO. If REFADJ is connected to AGND, the internal reference is
used to determine the FSR of the data converter.

INP
Positive Analog Input Terminal. Internally self-biased to 1.365V.
9
INN
Negative Analog Input Terminal. Internally self-biased to 1.365V.
17
CLKDIV
Clock Divider Input. This LVCMOS-compatible input controls with which speed the converter’s
digital outputs are updated. CLKDIV has an internal pulldown resistor.
CLKDIV = 0: ADC updates digital outputs at one-half the input clock rate.
CLKDIV = 1: ADC updates digital outputs at input clock rate.
22
CLKP
True Clock Input. This input ideally requires an LVPECL-compatible input level to maintain the
converter’s excellent performance. Internally self-biased to 1.15V.
23
CLKN
Complementary Clock Input. This input ideally requires an LVPECL-compatible input level to
maintain the converter’s excellent performance. Internally self-biased to 1.15V.
26, 45, 61
OGND
Digital Converter Ground. Ground connection for digital circuitry and output drivers.
27, 28, 41, 44, 60
OV
CC
Digital Supply Voltage. Bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor for best decoupling results.
