MAXIM MAX1127EGK

19-3144; Rev 1; 3/04
Quad, 12-Bit, 65Msps, 1.8V ADC with
Serial LVDS Outputs
The MAX1127 quad, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) features fully differential inputs, a pipelined
architecture, and digital error correction. This ADC is
optimized for low-power, high-dynamic performance for
medical imaging, communications, and instrumentation
applications. The MAX1127 operates from a 1.7V to
1.9V single supply and consumes only 563mW while
delivering a 69.6dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at a
19.3MHz input frequency. In addition to low operating
power, the MAX1127 features a 675µA power-down
mode for idle periods.
An internal 1.24V precision bandgap reference sets the
ADC’s full-scale range. A flexible reference structure
allows the use of an external reference for applications
requiring increased accuracy or a different input voltage range.
A single-ended clock controls the conversion process.
An internal duty-cycle equalizer allows for wide variations in input-clock duty cycle. An on-chip phaselocked loop (PLL) generates the high-speed serial
low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) clock.
The MAX1127 provides serial LVDS outputs for data,
clock, and frame alignment signals. The output data is
presented in two’s complement or binary format.
Refer to the MAX1126 data sheet for a pin-compatible
40Msps version of the MAX1127.

Note 2: See definition in the Parameter Definitions section.
Note 3: The MAX1127 internally sets the common-mode voltage to 0.6V (typ) (see Figure 1). The common-mode voltage can be
overdriven to between 0.55V and 0.85V.
Note 4: Limited by MAX1127EVKIT input circuitry.
Note 5: Connect INTREF to GND directly to enable internal reference mode. Connect INTREF to AVDD directly to disable the internal
bandgap reference and enable external reference mode.
Note 6: Data valid to CLKOUT rise/fall timing is measured from 50% of data output level to 50% of clock output level.

Quad, 12-Bit, 65Msps, 1.8V ADC with
Serial LVDS Outputs
The MAX1127 ADC features fully differential inputs, a
pipelined architecture, and digital error correction for
high-speed signal conversion. The ADC pipeline architecture moves the samples taken at the inputs through
the pipeline stages every half clock cycle. The converted digital results are serialized and sent through the
LVDS/SLVS output drivers. The total latency from input
to output is 6.5 input clock cycles.
The MAX1127 offers four separate fully differential
channels with synchronized inputs and outputs.
Configure the outputs for binary or two’s complement
with the T/B digital input. Power-down each channel
individually or globally to minimize power consumption.
Input Circuit
Figure 1 displays a simplified functional diagram of the
input T/H circuits. 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 operational transcon-
ductance amplifier (OTA), 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.
Analog inputs IN_P to IN_N are driven differentially. For
differential inputs, balance the input impedance of IN_P
and IN_N for optimum performance.
The MAX1127 analog inputs are self-biased at a common-mode voltage of 0.6V (typ) and allow a differential
input voltage swing of 1.4VP-P. The common-mode voltage can be overdriven to between 0.55V to 0.85V.
Drive the analog inputs of the MAX1127 in AC-coupled
configuration to achieve best dynamic performance.
See the Using Transformer Coupling section for a
detailed discussion of this configuration.

MAX1127
Detailed Description
MAX1127
Quad, 12-Bit, 65Msps, 1.8V ADC with
Serial LVDS Outputs
Reference Configurations
(REFIO and INTREF)
The MAX1127 provides an internal 1.24V bandgap reference or can be driven with an external reference voltage. The MAX1127 full-scale analog differential input
range is ±FSR. Full-scale range (FSR) is given by the
following equation:
V
FSR = 700mV × REFIO
1.24V
where VREFIO is the voltage at REFIO, generated internally or externally. For a VREFIO = 1.24V, the full-scale
input range is ±700mV (1.4VP-P).
Internal Reference Mode
Connect INTREF to GND to use the internal bandgap
reference directly. The internal bandgap reference generates REFIO to be 1.24V with a 100ppm/°C temperature coefficient in internal reference mode. Connect an
external ≥0.1µF bypass capacitor from REFIO to GND
for stability. REFIO sources up to 200µA and sinks up
to 200µA for external circuits, and REFIO has a load
regulation of 83mV/mA. The global power-down input
(PDALL) enables and disables the reference circuit.
REFIO has >1MΩ resistance to GND when the
MAX1127 is in power-down mode. The internal reference circuit requires 132µs to power-up and settle
when power is applied to the MAX1127 or when PDALL
transitions from high to low.
External Reference Mode
The external reference mode allows for more control
over the MAX1127 reference voltage and allows multiple converters to use a common reference. Connect
INTREF to AVDD to disable the internal reference and
enter external reference mode. Apply a stable 1.24V
source at REFIO. Bypass REFIO to GND with a 0.1µF
capacitor. The REFIO input impedance is >1MΩ.
Clock Input (CLK)
The MAX1127 accepts a CMOS-compatible clock signal with a wide 20% to 80% input-clock duty cycle.
Drive CLK with an external single-ended clock signal.
Figure 2 shows the simplified clock input diagram.
Low clock jitter is required for the specified SNR performance of the MAX1127. Analog input sampling occurs
on the rising edge of CLK, requiring this edge to provide the lowest possible jitter. Jitter limits the maximum
SNR performance of any ADC according to the following relationship:


1
SNR = 20 × log 

 2 × π × fIN × t J 
where fIN represents the analog input frequency and tJ
is the total system clock jitter. Clock jitter is especially
critical for undersampling applications. For example,
assuming that clock jitter is the only noise source, to
obtain the specified 69.4dB of SNR with an input frequency of 30.3MHz, the system must have less than
1.8ps of clock jitter. In actuality, there are other noise
sources, such as thermal noise and quantization noise,
that contribute to the system noise requiring the clock
jitter to be less than 0.5ps to obtain the specified
69.4dB of SNR at 30.3MHz.
The MAX1127 features a PLL that generates an output
clock signal with six times the frequency of the input
clock. The output clock signal is used to clock data out
of the MAX1127 (see the System Timing Requirements
section). Set the PLL2 and PLL3 bits according to the
input clock range provided in Table 1. PLL0 and PLL1
are reserved for factory testing and must always be
connected to GND.

System Timing Requirements
Figure 3 shows the relationship between the analog
inputs, input clock, frame alignment output, serial clock
output, and serial data output. The differential analog
input (IN_P and IN_N) is sampled on the rising edge of
the CLK signal and the resulting data appears at the
digital outputs 6.5 clock cycles later. Figure 4 provides
a detailed, two-conversion timing diagram of the relationship between the inputs and the outputs.
Clock Output (CLKOUTP, CLKOUTN)
The MAX1127 provides a differential clock output that
consists of CLKOUTP and CLKOUTN. As shown in
Figure 4, the serial output data is clocked out of the
MAX1127 on both edges of the clock output. The frequency of the output clock is 6 times the frequency
of CLK.

Frame Alignment Output (FRAMEP, FRAMEN)
The MAX1127 provides a differential frame alignment
signal that consists of FRAMEP and FRAMEN. As shown
in Figure 4, the rising edge of the frame alignment signal corresponds to the first bit (D0) of the 12-bit serial
data stream. The frequency of the frame alignment signal is identical to the frequency of the sample clock.
Serial Output Data (OUT_P, OUT_N)
The MAX1127 provides its conversion results through
individual differential outputs consisting of OUT_P and
OUT_N. The results are valid 6.5 input clock cycles
after the sample is taken. As shown in Figure 3, the output data is clocked out on both edges of the output
clock, LSB (D0) first. Figure 5 provides the detailed serial output timing diagram.
Output Data Format (T/B), Transfer Functions
The MAX1127 output data format is either offset binary or
two’s complement, depending on the logic input T/B.
With T/B low, the output data format is two’s complement. With T/B high, the output data format is offset binary. The following equations, Table 2, Figure 6, and Figure
7 define the relationship between the digital output and
the analog input. For two’s complement (T/B = 0):

Keep the capacitive load on the MAX1127 digital outputs as low as possible.
LVDS and SLVS Signals (SLVS/LVDS)
Drive SLVS/LVDS low for LVDS or drive SLVS/LVDS
high for scalable low-voltage signaling (SLVS) levels at
the MAX1127 outputs (OUT_P, OUT_N, CLKOUT_P,
CLKOUT_N, FRAMEP_, and FRAMEN_). See the
Electrical Characteristics table for LVDS and SLVS output voltage levels.
LVDS Test Pattern (LVDSTEST)
Drive LVDSTEST high to enable the output test pattern
on all LVDS or SLVS output channels. The output test
pattern is 0000 1011 1101 MSB→LSB. As with the analog conversion results, the test pattern data is output
LSB first. Drive LVDSTEST low for normal operation
(test pattern disabled).

Double Termination (DT)
As shown in Figure 8, the MAX1127 offers an optional,
internal 100Ω termination between the differential output
pairs (OUT_P and OUT_N, CLKOUTP and CLKOUTN,
FRAMEP and FRAMEN). In addition to the termination
at the end of the line, a second termination directly at
the outputs helps eliminate unwanted reflections down
the line. This feature is useful in applications where
trace lengths are long (>5in) or with mismatched
impedance. Drive DT high to select double termination,
or drive DT low to disconnect the internal termination
resistor (single termination). Selecting double termination increases the OV DD supply current (see the
Electrical Characteristics table).

Power-Down Modes
The MAX1127 offers two types of power-down inputs,
PD0–PD3 and PDALL. The power-down modes allow
the MAX1127 to use power efficiently by transitioning to
a low-power state when conversions are not required.
Independent Channel Power-Down (PD0–PD3)
PD0–PD3 control the power-down mode of each channel independently. Drive a power-down input high to
power down its corresponding input channel. For example, to power down channel 1, drive PD1 high. Drive a
power-down input low to place the corresponding input
channel in normal operation. The differential output
impedance of a powered-down output channel is
approximately 378Ω, when DT is low. The output impedance of OUT_P, with respect to OUT_N, is 100Ω when

The state of the internal reference is independent of the
PD0–PD3 inputs. To power down the internal reference
circuitry, drive PDALL high (see the Global PowerDown (PDALL) section).

MAX1127
Quad, 12-Bit, 65Msps, 1.8V ADC with
Serial LVDS Outputs
Global Power-Down (PDALL)
PDALL controls the power-down mode of all channels
and the internal reference circuitry. Drive PDALL high
to enable global power-down. In global power-down
mode, the output impedance of all the LVDS/SLVS outputs is approximately 378Ω, if DT is low. The output
impedance of the differential LVDS/SLVS outputs is
100Ω when DT is high. See the Electrical
Characteristics table for typical supply currents with
global power-down. The following list shows the state of
the analog inputs and digital outputs in global powerdown mode:
• IN_P, IN_N analog inputs are disconnected from the
internal input amplifier.
• REFIO has > 1MΩ resistance to GND.
• OUT_P, OUT_N, CLKOUTP, CLKOUTN, FRAMEP,
and FRAMEN have approximately 378Ω between the
output pairs when DT is low. When DT is high, the differential output pairs have 100Ω between each pair.
When operating from the internal reference, the wakeup time from global power-down is typically 132µs.
When using an external reference, the wake-up time is
dependent on the external reference drivers.
Applications Information
Using Transformer Coupling
An RF transformer (Figure 9) provides an excellent
solution to convert a single-ended input source signal
to a fully differential signal, required by the MAX1127
for optimum performance. The MAX1127 input common-mode voltage is internally biased to 0.6V (typ) with
fCLK = 65MHz. 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.
Grounding, Bypassing, and Board Layout
The MAX1127 requires high-speed board layout design
techniques. Refer to the MAX1127 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 as the ADC, using surface-mount devices
for minimum inductance. Bypass AVDD to GND with a
0.1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a ≥2.2µF
ceramic capacitor. Bypass OVDD to GND with a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor in parallel with a ≥2.2µF ceramic
capacitor. Bypass CVDD to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor in parallel with a ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor.
Multilayer boards with ample ground and power planes
produce the highest level of signal integrity. Connect
MAX1127 ground pins and the exposed backside paddle to the same ground plane. The MAX1127 relies on
the exposed backside paddle connection for a lowinductance ground connection. Isolate the ground
plane from any noisy digital system ground planes.
Route high-speed digital signal traces away from the
sensitive analog traces. Keep all signal lines short and
free of 90° turns.
Ensure that the differential analog input network layout
is symmetric and that all parasitics are balanced equally. Refer to the MAX1127 EV kit data sheet for an example of symmetric input layout.
Parameter Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
Integral nonlinearity is the deviation of the values on an
actual transfer function from a straight line. For the
MAX1127, this straight line is between the end points of
the transfer function, once offset and gain errors have
been nullified. INL deviations are measured at every
step and the worst-case deviation is reported in the
Electrical Characteristics table.

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 and a monotonic transfer function. For
the MAX1127, DNL deviations are measured at every
step and the worst-case deviation is reported in the
Electrical Characteristics table.
Offset error is a figure of merit that indicates how well
the actual transfer function matches the ideal transfer
function at a single point. For the MAX1127, the ideal
midscale digital output transition occurs when there is
-1/2 LSB across the analog inputs (Figures 6 and 7).

Gain Error
Gain error is a figure of merit that indicates how well the
slope of the actual transfer function matches the slope
of the ideal transfer function. For the MAX1127, the gain
error is the difference of the measured full-scale and
zero-scale transition points minus the difference of the
ideal full-scale and zero-scale transition points.
For the bipolar devices (MAX1127), the full-scale transition point is from 0x7FE to 0x7FF for two’s complement
output format (0xFFE to 0xFFF for offset binary) and the
zero-scale transition point is from 0x800 to 0x801 for
two’s complement (0x000 to 0x001 for offset binary).

Bipolar offset error is the amount of deviation between
the measured midscale transition point and the ideal
midscale transition point.

Crosstalk
Crosstalk indicates how well each analog input is isolated from the others. For the MAX1127, a 5.3MHz,
-0.5dBFS analog signal is applied to one channel while
a 30.3MHz, -0.5dBFS analog signal is applied to all
other channels. An FFT is taken on the channel with the
5.3MHz analog signal. From this FFT, the crosstalk is
measured as the difference in the 5.3MHz and
30.3MHz amplitudes.
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. See Figure 10.
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in
the aperture delay. See Figure 10.
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 x N x 1.76dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantization noise: thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter, etc.
For the MAX1127, 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 six harmonics (HD2–HD7), 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 plus distortion. RMS noise plus
distortion 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:
 SINAD − 1.76 
ENOB = 

6.02


Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the first six harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself. This is
expressed as:

V22 + V32 + V4 2 + V52 + V62 + V72
THD = 20 × log 

Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
Small-Signal Bandwidth
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. SFDR is specified in
decibels relative to the carrier (dBc).
A small -20dBFS analog input signal is applied to an
ADC so the signal’s slew rate does not limit the ADC’s
performance. The input frequency is then swept up to
the point where the amplitude of the digitized conversion result has decreased by -3dB.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
Full-Power Bandwidth
IMD is the total power of the IM2 to IM5 intermodulation
products to the Nyquist frequency relative to the total
input power of the two input tones, f1 and f2. The individual input tone levels are at -6.5dBFS. The intermodulation products are as follows:
• 2nd-order intermodulation products (IM2): f1 + f2,
f2 - f1
A large -0.5dBFS analog input signal is applied to an
ADC, and the input frequency is swept up to the point
where the amplitude of the digitized conversion result
has decreased by -3dB. This point is defined as fullpower input bandwidth frequency.
• 3rd-order intermodulation products (IM3): 2 x f1 - f2,
2 x f2 - f1, 2 x f1 + f2, 2 x f2 + f1
• 4th-order intermodulation products (IM4): 3 x f1 - f2,
3 x f2 - f1, 3 x f1 + f2, 3 x f2 + f1
• 5th-order intermodulation products (IM5): 3 x f1 - 2 x
f2, 3 x f2 - 2 x f1, 3 x f1 + 2 x f2, 3 x f2 + 2 x f1
Third-Order Intermodulation (IM3)
IM3 is the total power of the 3rd-order intermodulation
product to the Nyquist frequency relative to the total
input power of the two input tones f1 and f2. The individual input tone levels are at -6.5dBFS. The 3rd-order
intermodulation products are 2 x f1 - f2, 2 x f2 - f1, 2 x
f1 + f2, 2 x f2 + f1.

Gain Matching
Gain matching is a figure of merit that indicates how
well the gain of all four ADC channels is matched to
each other. For the MAX1127, gain matching is measured by applying the same 30.3MHz, -0.5dBFS analog
signal to all analog input channels. These analog inputs
are sampled at 65MHz and the maximum deviation in
amplitude is reported in dB as gain matching in the
Electrical Characteristics table.
Phase Matching
Phase matching is a figure of merit that indicates how
well the phase of all four ADC channels is matched to
each other. For the MAX1127, phase matching is measured by applying the same 30.3MHz, -0.5dBFS analog
signal to all analog input channels. These analog inputs
are sampled at 65MHz and the maximum deviation in
phase is reported in degrees as phase matching in the
Electrical Characteristics table.
