nal shift register is enabled and multiplexed with the
input of the 1:4 demultiplexer, replacing the quantizer
8-bit output. The test pattern consists of 8 bits. Table 3
depicts the composition of the first and last steps of the
PRN pattern. The entire look-up table can be down-

Applications Information

Single-Ended Analog Inputs

The MAX109 is designed to work at full speed for both
single-ended and differential analog inputs; however,
for optimum dynamic performance it is recommended
that the inputs are driven differentially. Inputs INP and
INN feature on-chip, laser-trimmed 50Ω termination
resistors.

In a typical single-ended configuration, the analog
input signal (Figure 9) enters the T/H amplifier stage at
the in-phase input (INP), while the inverted phase input
(INN) is reverse-terminated to GNDI with an external
50Ω resistor. Single-ended operation allows for an input
amplitude of 500mV

P-P

. Table 4 shows a selection of

input voltages and their corresponding output codes
for single-ended operation.

Differential Analog Inputs

To obtain a full-scale digital output with differential input
drive (Figure 10), 250mV

P-P

must be applied between

INP and INN (INP = 125mV and INN = -125mV). Mid-
scale digital output codes (01111111 or 10000000)
occur when there is no voltage difference between INP
and INN. For a zero-scale digital output code, the in-
phase INP input must see -125mV and the inverted
input INN must see 125mV. A differential input drive is
recommended for best performance. Table 5 repre-
sents a selection of differential input voltages and their
corresponding output codes.

Offset Adjust

The MAX109 provides a control input (VOSADJ) to
compensate for system offsets. The offset adjust input
is a self-biased voltage-divider from the internal 2.5V
precision reference. The nominal open-circuit voltage is
one-half the reference voltage. With an input resistance
(R

VOSADJ

) of typically 50kΩ, VOSADJ can be driven

with an external 10kΩ potentiometer (Figure 11) con-
nected between REFOUT and GNDI to correct for offset
errors. For stabilizing purposes, decouple this output
with a 0.01µF capacitor to GNDI. VOSADJ allows for a
typical offset adjustment of ±10 LSB.

Clock Operation

The MAX109 clock inputs are designed for either sin-
gle-ended or differential operation (Figure 12) with flexi-

8-Bit, 2.2Gsps ADC with Track/Hold Amplifier

and 1:4 Demultiplexed LVDS Outputs
