MAXIM MAX1426EAI

19-1598 Rev 0; 1/00
10-Bit, 10Msps ADC
The MAX1426 employs a differential pipelined architecture with a wideband T/H amplifier to maximize throughput while limiting power consumption to only 156mW.
The MAX1426 generates an internal +2.5V reference
that supplies three additional reference voltages
(+3.25V, +2.25V, and +1.25V). These reference voltages provide a differential input range of +2V to -2V.
The analog inputs are biased internally to correct the
DC level, eliminating the need for external biasing on
AC-coupled applications.
A separate +3V digital logic supply input allows for
separation of digital and analog circuitry. The output
data is in two’s complement format. The MAX1426 is
available in the space-saving 28-pin SSOP package.
For a pin-compatible version at a higher data rate, refer
to the MAX1424 or MAX1425

MAX1426
General Description
The MAX1426 10-bit, monolithic analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is capable of a 10Msps sampling rate. This
device features an internal track-and-hold (T/H) amplifier
for excellent dynamic performance; at the same time, it
minimizes the number of external components. Low
input capacitance of only 8pF minimizes input drive
requirements. A wide input bandwidth (up to 150MHz)
makes this device suitable for digital RF/IF downconverter applications employing undersampling techniques.

MAX1426
Pin Description
MAX1426
10-Bit, 10Msps ADC
Detailed Description
The MAX1426 uses a 10-stage, fully differential, pipelined
architecture (Figure 1) that allows for high-speed conversion while minimizing power consumption. Each sample
moves through a pipeline stage every half clock cycle.
Counting the delay through the output latch, there is a 5.5
clock-cycle latency.
A 2-bit flash ADC converts the input voltage to digital
code. A DAC converts the ADC result back into an analog voltage, which is subtracted from the held input signal. The resulting error signal is then multiplied by two,
and this product is passed along to the next pipeline
stage where the process is repeated. Digital error correction compensates for offsets and mismatches in each
pipeline stage and ensures no missing codes.
Internal Track-and-Hold Circuit
Figure 2 shows a simplified functional diagram of the
internal track-and-hold (T/H) circuit in both track mode
and hold mode. The fully differential circuit samples the
input signal onto the four capacitors C1a, C1b, C2a,
and C2b. Switches S2a and S2b set the common mode
for the amplifier input, and open before S1. When S1
opens, the input is sampled. Switches S3a and S3b
then connect capacitors C1a and C1b to the output of
the amplifier. Capacitors C2a and C2b are connected
either to REFN, REFP, or each other, depending on the
results of the flash ADC. The amplifier then multiplies
the residue by two and the next stage in the pipeline
performs a similar operation.
System Timing Requirements
Figure 3 shows the relationship between the clock
input, analog input, and data output. The MAX1426
samples the falling edge of the input clock. Output data
is valid on the rising edge of the input clock. The output
data has an internal latency of 5.5 clock cycles, as
shown. Figure 4 shows an output timing diagram that
specifies the relationship between the input clock parameters and the valid output data.
Analog Input and Internal Reference
The MAX1426 has an internal +2.5V reference used to
generate three reference levels: +3.25V, +2.25V, and
+1.25V corresponding to V REFP, V CML, and V REFN.
These reference voltages enable a ±2V input range.
Bypass all reference voltages with a 0.1µF capacitor.
The MAX1426 allows for three modes of reference
operation: an internal reference (default) mode, an
externally adjusted reference mode, or a full external
reference mode. The internal reference mode occurs
when no voltages are applied to REFIN, REFP, CML,

and REFN. In this mode, the voltages at these pins
are set to their nominal values (see Electrical
Characteristics). The reference voltage levels can be
adjusted externally by applying a voltage at REFIN.
This allows other input levels to be used as well. The
full external reference mode is entered when REFIN =
AGND. External voltages can be applied to REFP,
CML, and REFIN. In this mode, the internal voltage
shuts down, resulting in less overall power consumption.
Clock Input (CLK)
CLK is TTL/CMOS compatible. Since the interstage
conversion of the device depends on the rising and
falling edges of the external clock, use a clock with low
jitter and fast rise and fall times (<2ns). Low clock jitter
improves SNR performance. The MAX1426 operates
with a 50% duty cycle. If the clock has a duty cycle
other than 50%, the clock must meet the specifications
for high and low periods as stated in the Electrical
Characteristics.

Output Enable/Power-Down Function
(OE/PD) and Output Data
All data outputs, D0 through D9, are TTL/CMOS-logic
compatible. There is a 5.5 clock-cycle latency between
the start convert signal and the valid output data. The
output coding for the MAX1426 is in binary two’s complement format, which has the MSB inverted (Table 1).
The digital output goes into a high-impedance state
and the device into a low-power mode when OE/PD
goes high. For normal operation, drive OE low. The outputs are not designed to drive high capacitances or

high-speed op amps. In this application, the amplifier
outputs are directly coupled to the inputs. This configuration can also be modified for AC-coupled applications.
The MAX1426 includes a DC level-shifting circuit internal
to the part, allowing for AC-coupled applications. The
level-shifting circuit is shown in Figure 6.
The circuit in Figure 6 can accept a 1Vp-p maximum
input voltage. With a maximum clock frequency of
10MHz, use 50Ω termination to minimize reflections.

Applications Information
Figure 5 shows a typical application circuit containing a
single-ended to differential converter. The internal reference provides a +2.25V output for level shifting. The
input is buffered and then split to a voltage follower and
inverter. The op amps are followed by a lowpass filter
to remove some of the wideband noise associated with

10-Bit, 10Msps ADC
A small transformer (Figure 8) provides isolation and
AC-coupling to the ADC’s input. Connecting the transformer's center tap to CML provides a +2.25VDC level
shift to the input. Transformer coupling reduces the
need for high-speed op amps, thereby reducing cost.
Although a 1:1 transformer is shown, a step-up transformer may be selected to reduce the drive requirements.
Typical Application Using an
External Reference
Figure 7 shows an application circuit that shuts down
the internal reference, allowing an external reference to
be used for selecting a different common-mode voltage. This added flexibility also allows for ratiometric
conversions, as well as for calibration.

Bypassing and Board Layout
The MAX1426 requires high-speed board layout design
techniques. Locate all bypass capacitors as close to
the device as possible, using surface-mount devices
for minimum inductance. Bypass all analog voltages
(AV DD , REFIN, REFP, REFN, and CML) to AGND.
Bypass the digital supply (DVDD) to DGND. Multilayer
boards with separated ground and power planes produce the highest level of signal integrity. Route highspeed digital signal traces away from sensitive analog
traces. Matching impedance, especially for the input
clock generator, may reduce reflections, thus providing
less jitter in the system. For optimum results, use lowdistortion complementary components such as the
MAX4108.
