sheets for 105Msps/80Msps/65Msps/40Msps. In addition
to these speed grades, this family includes two multiplexed output versions (MAX1185/MAX1186 for
20Msps/40Msps), for which digital data is presented
time-interleaved and on a single, parallel 10-bit output
port.

The MAX1190 features parallel, CMOS-compatible threestate outputs. The digital output format can be set to two’s
complement or straight offset binary through a single control pin. The device provides for a separate output power
supply of 1.7V to 3.6V for flexible interfacing with various
logic families. The MAX1190 is available in a 7mm ✕
7mm, 48-pin TQFP-EP package, and is specified for the
extended industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
♦ 0.08dB Gain and 0.8° Phase Matching
♦ Wide ±1VP-P Differential Analog Input Voltage
Range

An internal 2.048V precision bandgap reference sets the
full-scale range of the ADC. A flexible reference structure
allows the use of this internal or an externally applied reference, if desired, for applications requiring increased
accuracy or a different input voltage range.

MAX1190
General Description
The MAX1190 is a 3.3V, dual 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring fully differential wideband trackand-hold (T/H) inputs, driving two ADCs. The MAX1190 is
optimized for low power, small size, and high-dynamic
performance for applications in imaging, instrumentation,
and digital communications. This ADC operates from a
single 2.8V to 3.6V supply, consuming only 492mW while
delivering a typical signal-to-noise and distortion (SINAD)
of 57dB at an input frequency of 60MHz and a sampling
rate of 120Msps. The T/H driven input stages incorporate
400MHz (-3dB) input amplifiers. The converters can also
be operated with single-ended inputs. In addition to low
operating power, the MAX1190 features a 3mA sleep
mode, as well as a 1µA power-down mode to conserve
power during idle periods.

Intermodulation distortion is the total power of the intermodulation products relative to the total input power.
REFP, REFN, and COM should be bypassed to GND with a 0.1µF (min) or 1µF (typ) capacitor.
Digital outputs settle to VIH, VIL. Parameter guaranteed by design.
With REFIN driven externally, REFP, COM, and REFN are left floating while powered down.
Amplitude matching is measured by applying the same signal to each channel and comparing the magnitude of the fundamental of the calculated FFT. The data from both ADC channels must be captured simultaneously during this test.
Note 6: Phase matching is measured by applying the same signal to each channel and comparing the phase of the fundamental of

Detailed Description
The MAX1190 uses a nine-stage, fully differential,
pipelined architecture (Figure 1) that allows for highspeed conversion while minimizing power consumption. Samples taken at the inputs move progressively
through the pipeline stages every half-clock cycle.
Including the delay through the output latch, the total
clock-cycle latency is five clock cycles.
Flash ADCs convert the held input voltages into a digital code. Internal MDACs convert the digitized results
back into analog voltages, which are then subtracted
from the original held input signals. The resulting error
signals are then multiplied by 2, and the residues are
passed along to the next pipeline stages, where the
process is repeated until the signals have been
processed by all nine stages.
Input Track-and-Hold Circuits
Figure 2 displays a simplified functional diagram of the
input T/H circuits in both track and hold mode. In track
mode, switches S1, S2a, S2b, S4a, S4b, S5a, and S5b
are closed. The fully differential circuits sample the input
signals onto the two capacitors (C2a and C2b) through
switches S4a and S4b. S2a and S2b set the common
mode for the amplifier input, and open simultaneously
with S1, sampling the input waveform. Switches S4a,
S4b, S5a, and S5b are then opened before switches
S3a and S3b connect capacitors C1a and C1b to the
output of the amplifier and switch S4c is closed. The
resulting differential voltages are held on capacitors
C2a and C2b. The amplifiers are used to charge capacitors C1a and C1b to the same values originally held on
C2a and C2b.

These values are then presented to the first-stage quantizers and isolate the pipelines from the fast-changing
inputs. The wide input bandwidth T/H amplifiers allow the
MAX1190 to track and sample/hold analog inputs of high
frequencies (>Nyquist). Both ADC inputs (INA+, INB+,
INA- and INB-) can be driven either differentially or single ended. Match the impedance of INA+ and INA-, as
well as INB+ and INB-, and set the common-mode voltage to midsupply (VDD/2) for optimum performance.

with Internal Reference and Parallel Outputs
Analog Inputs and Reference
Configurations
these nodes become high-impedance inputs and can be
driven through separate, external reference sources.
The full-scale range of the MAX1190 is determined by the
internally generated voltage difference between REFP
(VDD/2 + VREFIN/4) and REFN (VDD/2 - VREFIN/4). The fullscale range for both on-chip ADCs is adjustable through
the REFIN pin, which is provided for this purpose.
For detailed circuit suggestions and how to drive this
dual ADC in buffered/unbuffered external reference
mode, see the Applications Information section.
The MAX1190 provides three modes of reference operation:
• Internal reference mode
The MAX1190’s CLK input accepts a CMOS-compatible clock signal. Since the interstage conversion of the
device depends on the repeatability of the rising and
falling edges of the external clock, use a clock with low
jitter and fast rise and fall times (<2ns). In particular,
sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock signal,
requiring this edge to provide the lowest possible jitter.
Any significant aperture jitter would limit the SNR performance of the on-chip ADCs as follows:
Clock Input (CLK)
• Buffered external reference mode
• Unbuffered external reference mode
In internal reference mode, connect the internal reference output REFOUT to REFIN through a resistor (e.g.,
10kΩ) or resistor-divider, if an application requires a
reduced full-scale range. For stability and noise filtering
purposes, bypass REFIN with a >10nF capacitor to
GND. In internal reference mode, REFOUT, COM,
REFP, and REFN become low-impedance outputs.
In buffered external reference mode, adjust the reference voltage levels externally by applying a stable and
accurate voltage at REFIN. In this mode, COM, REFP,
and REFN are outputs. REFOUT can be left open or
connected to REFIN through a >10kΩ resistor.
In unbuffered external reference mode, connect REFIN to
GND. This deactivates the on-chip reference buffers for
REFP, COM, and REFN. With their buffers shut down,



SNR = 20 × log 

 2 × π × f IN × t AJ 
where fIN represents the analog input frequency and tAJ
is the time of the aperture jitter. Clock jitter is especially
critical for undersampling applications. The clock input
should always be considered as an analog input and
routed away from any analog input or other digital signal
lines. The MAX1190 clock input operates with a voltage
threshold set to VDD/2. Clock inputs with a duty cycle
other than 50%, must meet the specifications for high and
low periods as stated in the Electrical Characteristics.

Data Format Selection (T/B), Output
Enable (OE)
All digital outputs, D0A–D9A (channel A) and D0B–D9B
(channel B), are TTL/CMOS-logic compatible. There is
a five-clock-cycle latency between any particular sample and its corresponding output data. The output coding can be chosen to be either straight offset binary or
two’s complement (Table 1) controlled by a single pin
(T/B). Pull T/B low to select offset binary and high to
activate two’s complement output coding. The capacitive load on digital outputs D0A–D9A and D0B–D9B
should be kept as low as possible (<15pF) to avoid
large digital currents that could feed back into the analog portion of the MAX1190, thereby degrading its
dynamic performance. Using buffers on the digital outputs of the ADCs can further isolate the digital outputs
from heavy capacitive loads. To further improve the
dynamic performance of the MAX1190, small series
resistors (e.g., 100Ω) can be added to the digital output
paths, close to the MAX1190.
Figure 4 displays the timing relationship between output enable and data output valid, as well as powerdown/wakeup and data output valid.

System Timing Requirements
Figure 3 depicts the relationship between the clock
input, analog input, and data output. The MAX1190
samples at the rising edge of the input clock. Output
data for channels A and B is valid on the next rising
edge of the input clock. The output data has an internal
latency of five clock cycles. Figure 3 also determines
the relationship between the input clock parameters
and the valid output data on channels A and B.

To enter full power-down mode, pull PD high. With OE
simultaneously low, all outputs are latched at the last
value prior to the power down. Pulling OE high forces
the digital outputs into a high-impedance state.
Applications Information
Figure 5 depicts a typical application circuit containing
two single-ended to differential converters. The internal
reference provides a VDD/2 output voltage for levelshifting purposes. The input is buffered and then split
to a voltage follower and inverter. One lowpass filter per
amplifier suppresses some of the wideband noise
associated with high-speed operational amplifiers. The
user can select the RISO and CIN values to optimize the
filter performance to suit a particular application. For
the application in Figure 5, a RISO of 50Ω is placed
before the capacitive load to prevent ringing and oscillation. The 22pF CIN capacitor acts as a small filter
capacitor.

Figure 6. Transformer-Coupled Input Drive
Using Transformer Coupling
Single-Ended AC-Coupled Input Signal
An RF transformer (Figure 6) provides an excellent solution to convert a single-ended source signal to a fully differential signal, required by the MAX1190 for optimum
performance. Connecting the center tap of the transformer to COM provides a VDD/2 DC level shift to the
input. Although a 1:1 transformer is shown, a step-up
transformer can be selected to reduce the drive requirements. A reduced signal swing from the input driver, such
as an op amp, can also improve the overall distortion.
Figure 7 shows an AC-coupled, single-ended application. Amplifiers like the MAX4108 provide high speed,
high bandwidth, low noise, and low distortion to maintain the integrity of the input signal.
In general, the MAX1190 provides better SFDR and
THD with fully differential input signals than singleended drive, especially for very high input frequencies.
In differential input mode, even-order harmonics are
lower as both inputs (INA+, INA- and/or INB+, INB-) are
balanced, and each of the ADC inputs only requires
half the signal swing compared to single-ended mode.
Buffered External Reference Drives
Multiple ADCs
Multiple-converter systems based on the MAX1190 are
well suited for use with a common reference voltage.
The REFIN pin of those converters can be connected
directly to an external reference source.
A precision bandgap reference like the MAX6062 generates an external DC level of 2.048V (Figure 8), and
exhibits a noise voltage density of 150nV/√Hz. Its output
passes through a 1-pole lowpass filter (with 10Hz cutoff
frequency) to the MAX4250, which buffers the reference
before its output is applied to a second 10Hz lowpass
filter. The MAX4250 provides a low offset voltage (for

10Hz filter following the buffer attenuates noise produced in the voltage reference and buffer stages. This
filtered noise density, which decreases for higher frequencies, meets the noise levels specified for precision-ADC operation.
Unbuffered External Reference Drives
Multiple ADCs
Connecting each REFIN to analog ground disables the
internal reference of each device, allowing the internal
reference ladders to be driven directly by a set of external reference sources. Followed by a 10Hz lowpass filter and precision voltage-divider, the MAX6066
generates a DC level of 2.500V. The buffered outputs of
this divider are set to 2.0V, 1.5V, and 1.0V, with an
accuracy that depends on the tolerance of the divider
resistors (Figure 9).
16
Those three voltages are buffered by the MAX4252,
which provides low noise and low DC offset. The individual voltage followers are connected to 10Hz lowpass
filters, which filter both the reference voltage and amplifier noise to a level of 3nV/√Hz. The 2.0V and 1.0V reference voltages set the differential full-scale range of the
associated ADCs at 2VP-P. The 2.0V and 1.0V buffers
drive the ADCs’ internal ladder resistances between
them. Note that the common power supply for all active
components removes any concern regarding powersupply sequencing when powering up or down.
With the outputs of the MAX4252 matching better than
0.1%, the buffers and subsequent lowpass filters can
be replicated to support as many as 32 ADCs. For
applications that require more than 32 matched ADCs,
a voltage reference and divider string common to all
converters is highly recommended.

Typical QAM Demodulation Application
A frequently used modulation technique in digital communications applications is quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). Typically found in spread-spectrum-based
systems, a QAM signal represents a carrier frequency
modulated in both amplitude and phase. At the transmitter, modulating the baseband signal with quadrature
outputs, a local oscillator followed by subsequent
upconversion can generate the QAM signal. The result
is an in-phase (I) and a quadrature (Q) carrier component, where the Q component is 90° phase shifted with
respect to the in-phase component. At the receiver, the
QAM signal is divided down into its I and Q components, essentially representing the modulation process
reversed. Figure 10 displays the demodulation process
performed in the analog domain, using the dualmatched 3.3V, 10-bit ADC MAX1190 and the MAX2451
quadrature demodulator to recover and digitize the I
and Q baseband signals. Before being digitized by the
MAX1190, the mixed-down signal components can be
filtered by matched analog filters, such as Nyquist or
pulse-shaping filters, which remove unwanted images
from the mixing process, thereby enhancing the overall
SNR performance and minimizing intersymbol interference.
Grounding, Bypassing, and
Board Layout
The MAX1190 requires high-speed board layout design
techniques. Locate all bypass capacitors as close to the
device as possible, preferably on the same side as the
ADC, using surface-mount devices for minimum inductance. Bypass VDD, REFP, REFN, and COM with two
parallel 0.1µF ceramic capacitors and a 2.2µF bipolar
capacitor to GND. Follow the same rules to bypass the
digital supply (OVDD) to OGND. Multilayer boards with
separated ground and power planes produce the

Static Parameter Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
Integral nonlinearity is the deviation of the values on an
actual transfer function from a straight line. This straight
line can be either a best-straight-line fit or a line drawn
between the endpoints of the transfer function, once offset and gain errors have been nullified. The static linearity
parameters for the MAX1190 are measured using the
best-straight-line fit method.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between an actual step width and the ideal value of 1LSB. A DNL error
specification of less than 1LSB guarantees no missing
codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Dynamic Parameter Definitions
Aperture Jitter
Figure 11 depicts the aperture jitter (tAJ), which is the
sample-to-sample variation in the aperture delay.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay (tAD) is the time defined between the
falling edge of the sampling clock and the instant when
an actual sample is taken (Figure 11).
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital
samples, the theoretical maximum SNR is the ratio of
the full-scale analog input (RMS value) to the RMS
quantization error (residual error). The ideal, theoretical
minimum analog-to-digital noise is caused by quantization error only and results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):
SNRdB[max] = 6.02dB ✕ N + 1.76dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantization noise: thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter,
etc. SNR is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS
signal to the RMS noise, which includes all spectral
components minus the fundamental, the first five harmonics, and the DC offset.
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion (SINAD)
SINAD is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS signal to all spectral components minus the fundamental
and the DC offset.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB specifies the dynamic performance of an ADC at a
specific input frequency and sampling rate. An ideal
ADC’s error consists of quantization noise only. ENOB for
a full-scale sinusoidal input waveform is computed from:

highest level of signal integrity. Consider the use of a split
ground plane arranged to match the physical location of
the analog ground (GND) and the digital output driver
ground (OGND) on the ADC’s package. The two ground
planes should be joined at a single point such that the
noisy digital ground currents do not interfere with the analog ground plane. The ideal location of this connection
can be determined experimentally at a point along the
gap between the two ground planes, which produces
optimum results. Make this connection with a low-value,
surface-mount resistor (1Ω to 5Ω), a ferrite bead, or a
direct short. Alternatively, all ground pins could share the
same ground plane if the ground plane is sufficiently isolated from any noisy, digital systems ground plane (e.g.,
downstream output buffer or DSP ground plane). Route
high-speed digital signal traces away from the sensitive
analog traces of either channel. Make sure to isolate the
analog input lines to each respective converter to minimize channel-to-channel crosstalk. Keep all signal lines
short and free of 90° turns.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
THD is typically the ratio of the RMS sum of the first four
harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself.
This is expressed as:
The two-tone IMD is the ratio expressed in decibels of
either input tone to the worst 3rd-order (or higher) intermodulation products. The individual input tone levels are
at -6.5dB full scale and their envelope is at -0.5dB full
scale.
