Detailed Description
The MAX106 is an 8-bit, 600Msps flash ADC with on-
chip T/H amplifier and differential PECL-compatible
outputs. The ADC (Figure 1) employs a fully differential
8-bit quantizer and a unique encoding scheme to limit
metastable states to typically one error per 10
27
clock
cycles, with no error exceeding 1LSB max.
An integrated 8:16 output demultiplexer simplifies inter-
facing to the part by reducing the output data rate to
one-half the sampling clock rate. This demultiplexer
has internal reset capability that allows multiple
MAX106s to be time-interleaved to achieve higher
effective sampling rates.
When clocked at 600Msps, the MAX106 provides a typ-
ical effective number of bits (ENOB) of 7.6 bits at an
analog input frequency of 300MHz. The analog input of
the MAX106 is designed for differential or single-ended
use with a ±250mV full-scale input range. In addition,
this fast ADC features an on-board +2.5V precision
bandgap reference. If desired, an external reference
can also be used.
