Rainbow Electronics MAX1208 - Manual (Page 19)

MAX1208 is in normal operating mode. With PD high,
the MAX1208 is in power-down mode.
The power-down mode allows the MAX1208 to efficient-
ly use power by transitioning to a low-power state when
conversions are not required. Additionally, the
MAX1208 parallel output bus is high impedance in
power-down mode, allowing other devices on the bus
to be accessed.
In power-down mode, all internal circuits are off, the
analog supply current reduces to 1µA, and the digital
supply current reduces to 0.9µA. The following list
shows the state of the analog inputs and digital outputs
in power-down mode:
• INP, INN analog inputs are disconnected from the
internal input amplifier (Figure 3).
• REFOUT has approximately 17k Ω to GND.
• REFP, COM, and REFN go high impedance with
respect to V DD and GND, but there is an internal 4k
Ω
resistor between REFP and COM, as well as an inter-
nal 4k
Ω resistor between REFN and COM.
• D11–D0, DOR, and DAV go high impedance.
• CLKP and CLKN go high impedance (Figure 5).
The wake-up time from power-down mode is dominat-
ed by the time required to charge the capacitors at
REFP, REFN, and COM. In internal reference mode and
buffered external reference mode, the wake-up time is
typically 10ms with the recommended capacitor array
(Figure 13). When operating in unbuffered external ref-
erence mode, the wake-up time is dependent on the
external reference drivers.
Applications Information
Using Transformer Coupling
In general, the MAX1208 provides better SFDR and THD
performance with fully differential input signals as
opposed to single-ended input drive. In differential input
mode, even-order harmonics are lower as both inputs are
balanced, and each of the ADC inputs only requires half
the signal swing compared to single-ended input mode.
An RF transformer (Figure 10) provides an excellent
solution to convert a single-ended input source signal
to a fully differential signal, required by the MAX1208
for optimum performance. Connecting the center tap of
the transformer to COM provides a V
DD / 2 DC level
shift to the input. Although a 1:1 transformer is shown, a
