_______________Detailed Description
The MAX104 is an 8-bit, 1Gsps flash analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with on-chip track/hold (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
16
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
MAX104s to be time-interleaved to achieve higher
effective sampling rates.
When clocked at 1Gsps, the MAX104 provides a typi-
cal effective number of bits (ENOB) of >7.5 bits at an
analog input frequency of 500MHz. The analog input of
the MAX104 is designed for differential or single-ended
use with a ±250mV full-scale input range. In addition,
this ADC features an on-chip +2.5V precision bandgap
reference. If desired, an external reference can also be
used.
