MAX5863
General Description
The MAX5863 ultra-low-power, highly integrated analog
front end is ideal for portable communication equipment
such as handsets, PDAs, WLAN, and 3G wireless terminals. The MAX5863 integrates dual 8-bit receive ADCs
and dual 10-bit transmit DACs while providing the highest dynamic performance at ultra-low power. The ADCs’
analog I-Q input amplifiers are fully differential and
accept 1VP-P full-scale signals. Typical I-Q channel
phase matching is ±0.03° and amplitude matching is
±0.03dB. The ADCs feature 48.5dB SINAD and 69dBc
spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) at fIN = 1.875MHz
and fCLK = 7.5Msps. The DACs’ analog I-Q outputs are
fully differential with ±400mV full-scale output, and 1.4V
common-mode level. Typical I-Q channel phase match is
±0.15° and gain match is ±0.05dB. The DACs also feature dual 10-bit resolution with 73dBc SFDR, and 61dB
SNR at fOUT = 620kHz and fCLK = 7.5MHz.
The ADCs and DACs operate simultaneously or independently for frequency-division duplex (FDD) and time-division duplex (TDD) modes. A 3-wire serial interface
controls power-down and transceiver modes of operation. The typical operating power is 22.8mW at fCLK =
7.5Msps with the ADCs and DACs operating simultaneously in transceiver mode. The MAX5863 features an
internal 1.024V voltage reference that is stable over the
entire operating power-supply range and temperature
range. The MAX5863 operates on a +2.7V to +3.3V analog power supply and a +1.8V to +3.3V digital I/O power
supply for logic compatibility. The quiescent current is
3.5mA in idle mode and 1µA in shutdown mode. The
MAX5863 is specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C)
temperature range and is available in a 48-pin thin QFN
package.

Note 1: Specifications from TA = +25°C to +85°C are guaranteed by product tests. Specifications from TA = +25°C to -40°C are
guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 2: The minimum clock frequency for the MAX5863 is 2MHz.
Note 3: SNR, SINAD, SFDR, HD3, and THD are based on a differential analog input voltage of -0.5dBFS referenced to the amplitude
of the digital outputs. SINAD and THD are calculated using HD2 through HD6.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 5: Crosstalk rejection is measured by applying a high-frequency test tone to one channel and a low-frequency tone to the second channel. FFTs are performed on each channel. The parameter is specified as the power ratio of the first and second
channel FFT test tone bins.
Note 6: Amplitude/phase matching is measured by applying the same signal to each channel, and comparing the magnitude and
phase of the fundamental bin on the calculated FFT.

MAX5863
The MAX5863 can operate in FDD or TDD applications
by configuring the device for transmit, receive, or transceiver modes through a 3-wire serial interface. In TDD
mode, the digital bus for receive ADC and transmit
DAC can be shared to reduce the digital I/O to a single
10-bit parallel multiplexed bus. In FDD mode, the
MAX5863 digital I/O can be configured for an 18-bit,
parallel multiplexed bus to match the dual 8-bit ADC
and dual 10-bit DAC.
The MAX5863 features an internal precision 1.024V
bandgap reference output and is stable over the entire
power-supply and temperature ranges.
Detailed Description
MAX5863
Ultra-Low-Power, High-Dynamic
Performance, 7.5Msps Analog Front End
Dual 8-Bit ADC
The ADC uses a seven-stage, fully differential,
pipelined architecture that allows for high-speed 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 5 clock cycles for channel IA and 5.5 clock
cycles for channel QA. The ADC’s full-scale analog
input range is ±VREF with a common-mode input range
of VDD/2 ±0.2V. VREF is the difference between VREFP
and VREFN. See the Reference Configurations section
for details.
Input Track-and-Hold (T/H) Circuits
Figure 1 displays a simplified functional diagram of the
ADC’s input T/H circuitry. 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 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 ADC to
track and sample/hold analog inputs of high frequencies (> Nyquist). Both ADC inputs (IA+, QA+, IA-, and
QA-) can be driven either differentially or single ended.
Match the impedance of IA+ and IA-, as well as QA+
and QA-, and set the common-mode voltage to midsupply (VDD/2) for optimum performance.
ADC Digital Output Data (DA0–DA7)
DA0–DA7 are the ADCs’ digital logic outputs. The logic
level is set by OVDD from 1.8V to VDD. The digital output coding is offset binary (Table 1, Figure 2). The
capacitive load on digital outputs DA0–DA7 should be
kept as low as possible (<15pF) to avoid large digital
currents feeding back into the analog portion of the
MAX5863 and degrading its dynamic performance.
Buffers on the digital outputs isolate them from heavy
capacitive loads. Adding 100Ω resistors in series with
the digital outputs close to the MAX5863 helps improve
ADC performance. Refer to the MAX5865 EV kit
schematic for an example of the digital outputs driving
a digital buffer through 100Ω series resistors.

data is updated on the falling edge of the CLK.
Including the delay through the output latch, the total
clock-cycle latency is 5 clock cycles for CHI and 5.5
clock cycles for CHQ.
Dual 10-Bit DAC
The 10-bit DACs are capable of operating with clock
speeds up to 7.5MHz. The DAC’s digital inputs,
DD0–DD9, are multiplexed on a single 10-bit bus. The
voltage reference determines the data converters’ fullscale output voltages. See the Reference Configurations
section for setting reference voltage. The DACs utilize a
current-array technique with a 1mA (with 1.024V reference) full-scale output current driving a 400Ω internal
resistor resulting in a ±400mV full-scale differential output voltage. The MAX5863 is designed for differential
output only and is not intended for single-ended application. The analog outputs are biased at 1.4V common
mode and designed to drive a differential input stage
with input impedance ≥70kΩ. This simplifies the analog
interface between RF quadrature upconverters and the
MAX5863. RF upconverters require a 1.3V to 1.5V common-mode bias. The internal DC common-mode bias
eliminates discrete level-setting resistors and code-generated level-shifting while preserving the full dynamic
range of each transmit DAC. Table 2 shows the output
voltage vs. input code.

DAC Timing
Figure 4 shows the relationship between the clock, input
data, and analog outputs. Data for the I channel (ID) is
latched on the falling edge of the clock signal, and Qchannel (QD) data is latched on the rising edge of the
clock signal. Both I and Q outputs are simultaneously
updated on the next rising edge of the clock signal.

3-Wire Serial Interface and
Operation Modes
The 3-wire serial interface controls the MAX5863 operation modes. Upon power-up, the MAX5863 must be
programmed to operate in the desired mode. Use the
3-wire serial interface to program the device for the
shutdown, idle, standby, Rx, Tx, or Xcvr mode. An 8-bit
data register sets the operation modes as shown in
Table 3. The serial interface remains active in all
six modes.

FUNCTION

DESCRIPTION
x = Don’t care.
Shutdown mode offers the most dramatic power savings by shutting down all the analog sections of the
MAX5863 and placing the ADCs’ digital outputs in tristate mode. When the ADCs’ outputs transition from tristate to on, the last converted word is placed on the
digital outputs. The DACs’ digital bus inputs must be
zero or OVDD because the bus is not internally pulled
up. The DACs’ previously stored data is lost when coming out of shutdown mode. The wake-up time from shutdown mode is dominated 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 40µs to enter
Xcvr mode, 20µs to enter RX mode, and 40µs to enter
TX mode.
In idle mode, the reference and clock distribution circuits are powered, but all other functions are off. The
ADCs’ outputs are forced to tri-state. The DACs’ digital
bus inputs must be zero or OVDD, because the bus is
not internally pulled up. The wake-up time from the idle
mode is 10µs required for the ADCs and DACs to be
fully operational. When the ADCs’ outputs transition
from tri-state to on, the last converted word is placed
on the digital outputs. In the idle mode, the supply cur-
rent is lowered if the clock input is set to zero or OVDD;
however, the wake-up time extends to 40µs.
In standby mode, only the ADCs’ reference is powered;
the rest of the device’s functions are off. The pipeline
ADCs are off and DA0 to DA7 are in tri-state mode. The
DACs’ digital bus inputs must be zero or OV DD
because the bus is not internally pulled up. The wakeup time from standby mode to the Xcvr mode is dominated by the 40µs required to activate the pipeline
ADCs and DACs. When the ADC outputs transition from
tri-state to active, the last converted word is placed on
the digital outputs.
The serial digital interface is a standard 3-wire connection compatible with SPI/QSPI™/MICROWIRE/DSP
interfaces. Set CS low to enable the serial data loading
at DIN. Following CS high-to-low transition, data is shifted synchronously, MSB first, on the rising edge of the
serial clock (SCLK). After 8 bits are loaded into the serial input register, data is transferred to the latch. CS
must transition high for a minimum of 80ns before the
next write sequence. The SCLK can idle either high or
low between transitions. Figure 5 shows the detailed
timing diagram of the 3-wire serial interface.

Mode Recovery Timing
Figure 6 shows the mode recovery timing diagram.
TWAKE is the wake-up time when exiting shutdown, idle,
or standby mode and entering into Rx, Tx, or Xcvr
mode. tENABLE is the recovery time when switching
between any Rx, Tx, or Xcvr mode. tWAKE or tENABLE is
the time for the ADC to settle within 1dB of specified
SINAD performance and DAC settling to 10 LSB error.
tWAKE or tENABLE times are measured after the 8-bit
serial command is latched into the MAX5863 by CS
transition high. tENABLE for Xcvr mode is dominated by
the DAC wake-up time. The recovery time is 10µs to
switch between Xcvr, Tx, or Rx modes. The recovery
time is 40µs to switch from shutdown or standby mode
to Xcvr mode.

System Clock Input (CLK)
CLK input is shared by both the ADCs and DACs. It
accepts a CMOS-compatible signal level set by OVDD
from 1.8V to VDD. 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). Specifically,
sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock signal,
requiring this edge to provide the lowest possible jitter.
Any significant clock jitter limits the SNR performance
of the on-chip ADCs as follows:



SNR = 20 × log 

 2 × π × fIN × t AJ 

Reference Configurations
The MAX5863 features an internal precision 1.024V
bandgap reference that is stable over the entire power
supply and temperature range. The REFIN input provides two modes of reference operation. The voltage at
REFIN (VREFIN) sets reference operation mode (Table 4).
In internal reference mode, connect REFIN to V DD.
VREF is an internally generated 0.512V. COM, REFP,
and REFN are low-impedance outputs with VCOM =
VDD/2, VREFP = VDD/2 + VREF/2, and VREFN = VDD/2 VREF/2. Bypass REFP, REFN, and COM each with a
0.33µF capacitor. Bypass REFIN to GND with a 0.1µF
capacitor.
In buffered external reference mode, apply 1.024V
±10% at REFIN. In this mode, COM, REFP, and REFN
are low-impedance outputs with VCOM = VDD/2, VREFP
= VDD/2 + VREFIN/4, and VREFN = VDD/2 - VREFIN/4.
Bypass REFP, REFN, and COM each with a 0.33µF
capacitor. Bypass REFIN to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. In this mode, the DAC’s full-scale output voltage
and common-mode voltage are proportional to the
external reference. For example, if the V REFIN is
increased by 10% (max), the DACs’ full-scale output
voltage is also increased by 10% or ±440mV, and common-mode voltage increases by 10%.
Applications Information
Using Balun Transformer AC-Coupling
An RF transformer (Figure 7) provides an excellent
solution to convert a single-ended signal source to a
fully differential signal for optimum ADC performance.
Connecting the center tap of the transformer to COM
provides a VDD/2 DC level shift to the input. A 1:1 transformer can be used, or a step-up transformer can be
selected to reduce the drive requirements. In general,
the MAX5863 provides better SFDR and THD with fully
differential input signals than single-ended signals,
especially for high-input frequencies. In differential
mode, even-order harmonics are lower as both inputs
(IA+, IA-, QA+, QA-) are balanced, and each of the
ADC inputs only requires half the signal swing compared to single-ended mode. Figure 8 shows an RF
transformer converting the MAX5863 DACs’ differential
analog outputs to single ended.

Clock jitter is especially critical for undersampling

Figure 9. Single-Ended Drive for ADCs
20
Drive the MAX5863 ADCs with op amps when a balun
transformer is not available. Figures 9 and 10 show the
ADCs being driven by op amps for AC-coupled singleended, and DC-coupled differential applications.
Amplifiers such as the MAX4354/MAX4454 provide
high speed, high bandwidth, low noise, and low distortion to maintain the input signal integrity. Figure 10 can
also be used to interface with the DAC differential analog outputs to provide gain or buffering. The DAC differential analog outputs cannot be used in singleended mode because of the internally generated
1.4VDC common-mode level. Also, the DAC analog
outputs are designed to drive a differential input stage
with input impedance ≥70kΩ. If single-ended outputs
are desired, use an amplifier to provide differential to
single-ended conversion and select an amplifier with
proper input common-mode voltage range.
FDD and TDD Modes
The MAX5863 can be used in diverse applications
operating FDD or TDD modes. The MAX5863 operates
in Xcvr mode for FDD applications such as WCDMA3GPP (FDD) and 4G technologies. Also, the MAX5863
can switch between Tx and Rx modes for TDD applications like TD-SCDMA, WCDMA-3GPP (TDD),
IEEE802.11a/b/g, and IEEE802.16.
In FDD mode, the ADC and DAC operate simultaneously.
The ADC bus and DAC bus are dedicated and must be
connected in 18-bit parallel (8-bit ADC and 10-bit DAC)
to the digital baseband processor. Select Xcvr mode
through the 3-wire serial interface and use the conversion clock to latch data. In FDD mode, the MAX5863
uses 21mW power at fCLK = 5.2MHz. This is the total
power of the ADC and DAC operating simultaneously.
In TDD mode, the ADC and DAC operate independently. The ADC and DAC bus are shared and can be connected together, forming a single 10-bit parallel bus to
the digital baseband processor. Using the 3-wire serial
interface, select between Rx mode to enable the ADC
and Tx mode to enable the DAC. When operating in Rx
mode, the DAC does not transmit because the core is
disabled, and in Tx mode the ADC bus is tri-state. This
eliminates any unwanted spurious emissions and prevents bus contention. In TDD mode, the MAX5863 uses
14mW power in Rx mode at fCLK = 5.2MHz, and the
DAC uses 17mW in Tx mode.
Figure 11 illustrates the MAX5863 working with the
MAX2391 and MAX2395 in TDD mode to provide a
complete radio front-end solution. Because the
MAX5863 DAC has full differential analog outputs with
a common-mode level of 1.4V, it can interface directly

with RF quadrature modulators while eliminating discrete components and amplifiers used for level-shifting
circuits. Also, the DAC’s full dynamic range is preserved because the internally generated commonmode level eliminates code-generated level shifting or
attenuation due to resistor level shifting. The MAX5863
ADC has 1VP-P full-scale range and accepts input common-mode levels of VDD/2 (±200mV). These features
simplify the analog interface between RF quadrature
demodulator and ADC while eliminating discrete gain
amplifiers and level-shifting components.
Grounding, Bypassing, and
Board Layout
The MAX5863 requires high-speed board layout design
techniques. Refer to the MAX5865 EV kit data sheet for
a board layout reference. Locate all bypass capacitors
as close to the device as possible, preferably on the
same side of the board as the device, using surfacemount devices for minimum inductance. Bypass VDD to
GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a
2.2µF capacitor. Bypass OVDD to OGND with a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 2.2µF capacitor.
Bypass REFP, REFN, and COM each to GND with a
0.33µF ceramic capacitor. Bypass REFIN to GND with
a 0.1µF capacitor.
Multilayer boards with separated ground and power
planes yield the highest level of signal integrity. Use a
split ground plane arranged to match the physical location of the analog ground (GND) and the digital output
driver ground (OGND) on the device package. Connect
the MAX5863 exposed backside paddle to the GND
plane. Join the two ground planes at a single point
such that the noisy digital ground currents do not interfere with the analog ground plane. The ideal location
for this connection can be determined experimentally at
a point along the gap between the two ground planes.
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 system’s ground plane (e.g.,
downstream output buffer or DSP ground plane).
Route high-speed digital signal traces away from sensitive analog traces. 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.
Dynamic Parameter Definitions
ADC and DAC 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 end points of the transfer function, once
offset and gain errors have been nullified. The static linearity parameters for the device are measured using
the end-point method (DAC Figure 12a).
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between an
actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A DNL
error specification of less than 1 LSB guarantees no
missing codes (ADC) and a monotonic transfer function
(ADC and DAC) (DAC Figure 12b).

DAC Offset Error
Offset error is the difference between the ideal and
actual offset point. The offset point is the output value
when the digital input is midscale. This error affects all
codes by the same amount and usually can be compensated by trimming.
ADC Gain Error
Ideally, the ADC full-scale transition occurs at 1.5 LSB
below full scale. The gain error is the amount of deviation between the measured transition point and the
ideal transition point with the offset error removed.
ADC Dynamic Parameter Definitions
Aperture Jitter
Figure 13 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
rising edge of the sampling clock and the instant when
an actual sample is taken (Figure 13).
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) and results directly
from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):
SNR(max) = 6.02dB x N + 1.76dB (in dB)
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. RMS noise includes all spectral components to the Nyquist frequency excluding 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 the RMS noise. RMS noise includes all spectral
components to the Nyquist frequency excluding 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:
ENOB = (SINAD - 1. 76) / 6.02
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is typically the ratio of the RMS sum of the first five
harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself.
This is expressed as:


(V22 + V32 + V42 + V52 + V62 ) 
THD = 20log 


V1


where V1 is the fundamental amplitude and V2–V6 are
the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 6th-order harmonics.
Third Harmonic Distortion (HD3)
HD3 is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of the third
harmonic component to the fundamental input signal.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the ratio expressed in decibels of the RMS
amplitude of the fundamental (maximum signal component) to the RMS value of the next-largest spurious
component, excluding DC offset.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
IMD is the total power of the intermodulation products
relative to the total input power when two tones, f1 and
f2, are present at the inputs. The intermodulation products are (f1 ±f2), (2 ✕ f1), (2 ✕ f2), (2 ✕ f1 ±f2), (2 ✕ f2
±f1). The individual input tone levels are at -7dBFS.
3rd-Order Intermodulation (IM3)
IM3 is the power of the worst third-order intermodulation product relative to the input power of either input
tone when two tones, f 1 and f 2 , are present at the
inputs. The 3rd-order intermodulation products are (2 x
f1 ±f2), (2 ✕ f2 ±f1). The individual input tone levels are
at -7dBFS.

Ideally, the midscale transition occurs at 0.5 LSB above
