MAX1191
General Description
The MAX1191 is an ultra-low-power, dual, 8-bit,
7.5Msps analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The device
features two fully differential wideband track-and-hold
(T/H) inputs. These inputs have a 440MHz bandwidth
and accept fully differential or single-ended signals.
The MAX1191 delivers a typical signal-to-noise and distortion (SINAD) of 48.6dB at an input frequency of
1.875MHz and a sampling rate of 7.5Msps while consuming only 12mW. This ADC operates from a 2.7V to
3.6V analog power supply. A separate 1.8V to 3.6V
supply powers the digital output driver. In addition to
ultra-low operating power, the MAX1191 features three
power-down modes to conserve power during idle periods. Excellent dynamic performance, ultra-low power,
and small size make the MAX1191 ideal for applications in imaging, instrumentation, and digital communications.
An internal 1.024V precision bandgap reference sets
the full-scale range of the ADC to ±0.512V. A flexible
reference structure allows the MAX1191 to use its internal reference or accept an externally applied reference
for applications requiring increased accuracy.
The MAX1191 features parallel, multiplexed, CMOScompatible tri-state outputs. The digital output format is
offset binary. A separate digital power input accepts a
voltage from 1.8V to 3.6V for flexible interfacing to different logic levels. The MAX1191 is available in a 5mm
× 5mm, 28-pin thin QFN package, and is specified for
the extended industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature
range.

(VDD = 3.0V, OVDD = 1.8V, VREFIN = VDD (internal reference), CL ≈ 10pF at digital outputs, fCLK = 7.5MHz, CREFP = CREFN = CCOM
= 0.33µF, TA = -40°C to +85°C, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at TA = +25°C.) (Note 1)
Note 1: Specifications ≥+25°C guaranteed by production test, <+25°C guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 2: SNR, SINAD, SFDR, HD3, and THD are based on a differential analog input voltage of -0.5dB FS referenced to the
amplitude of the digital output. SNR and THD are calculated using HD2 through HD6.
Note 3: The power consumption of the output driver is proportional to the load capacitance (CL).
Note 4: Guaranteed by design and characterization. Not production tested.
Note 5: SINAD settles to within 0.5dB of its typical value.
Note 6: 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 power ratio of the first and second
channel FFT test tone bins.
Note 7: 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.

Detailed Description
The MAX1191 uses a seven-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 5 clock cycles for channel A and
5.5 clock cycles for channel B.
At each stage, flash ADCs convert the held input voltages into a digital code. The following digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) converts the digitized result back into
an analog voltage, which is then subtracted from the
original held input signal. The resulting error signal is
then multiplied by two, and the product is passed along
to the next pipeline stage where the process is repeated
until the signal has been processed by all stages. Digital
error correction compensates for ADC comparator offsets in each pipeline stage and ensures no missing
codes. Figure 2 shows the MAX1191 functional diagram.

Figure 3 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 ampli-
fier 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 MAX1191
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.
Analog Inputs and Reference
Configurations
The MAX1191 full-scale analog input range is ±VREF
with a common-mode input range of VDD/2 ±0.2V. VREF
is the difference between V REFP and V REFN . The
MAX1191 provides three modes of reference operation.
The voltage at REFIN (VREFIN) sets the reference operation mode (Table 1).
In internal reference mode, connect REFIN to VDD or
leave REFIN unconnected. VREF is internally generated
to be 0.512V ±3%. COM, REFP, and REFN are lowimpedance 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.
In buffered external reference mode, apply a 1.024V
±10% at REFIN. In this mode, COM, REFP, and REFN
are low-impedance outputs with VCOM = VDD/2, VREFP =
V DD /2 + V REFIN /4, and V REFN = V DD /2 - V REFIN /4.
Bypass REFP, REFN, and COM each with a 0.33µF
capacitor. Bypass REFIN to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
In unbuffered external reference mode, connect REFIN
to GND. This deactivates the on-chip reference buffers
for COM, REFP, and REFN. With their buffers shut
down, these nodes become high-impedance inputs
(Figure 4) and can be driven through separate, external
reference sources. Drive VCOM to VDD/2 ±10%, drive

For detailed circuit suggestions and how to drive this
dual ADC in buffered/unbuffered external reference
mode, see the Applications Information section.
Clock Input (CLK)
CLK accepts a CMOS-compatible signal level. 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

jitter would limit the SNR performance of the on-chip
ADCs as follows:
System Timing Requirements
Figure 5 shows the relationship between the clock, analog inputs, A/B indicator, and the resulting output data.
Channel A (CHA) and channel B (CHB) are simultaneously sampled on the rising edge of the clock signal
(CLK) and the resulting data is multiplexed at the output. CHA data is updated on the rising edge and CHB
data is updated on the falling edge of the CLK. The A/B
indicator follows CLK with a typical delay time of 6ns
and remains high when CHA data is updated and low
when CHB data is updated. Including the delay
through the output latch, the total clock-cycle latency is
5 clock cycles for CHA and 5.5 clock cycles for CHB.

where fIN represents the analog input frequency and

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 MAX1191
clock input operates with a VDD/2 voltage threshold
and accepts a 50% ±10% duty cycle (see Typical
Operating Characteristics).

heavy capacitive loads. To improve the dynamic performance of the MAX1191, add 100Ω resistors in series
with the digital outputs close to the MAX1191. Refer to
the MAX1193 Evaluation Kit schematic for an example
of the digital outputs driving a digital buffer through
100Ω series resistors.
Power Modes (PD0, PD1)
The MAX1191 has four power modes that are controlled with PD0 and PD1. Four power modes allow the
MAX1191 to efficiently use power by transitioning to a
low-power state when conversions are not required
(Table 3).
Shutdown mode offers the most dramatic power savings by shutting down all the analog sections of the
MAX1191 and placing the outputs in tri-state. 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
20µs. When operating in the unbuffered external reference mode, the wake-up time is dependent on the
external reference drivers. When the outputs transition
from tri-state to on, the last converted word is placed
on the digital outputs.
In standby mode, the reference and clock distribution
circuits are powered up, but the pipeline ADCs are
unpowered and the outputs are in tri-state. The wakeup time from standby mode is dominated by the 5.5µs
required to activate the pipeline ADCs. When the outputs transition from tri-state to on, the last converted
word is placed on the digital outputs.

In idle mode, the pipeline ADCs, reference, and clock
distribution circuits are powered, but the outputs are
forced to tri-state. The wake-up time from idle mode is
dominated by the 5ns required for the output drivers to
start from tri-state. When the outputs transition from tristate to on, the last converted word is placed on the

MAX1191 are powered.
Applications Information
The circuit of Figure 7 operates from a single 3V supply
and accommodates a wide 0.5V to 1.5V input commonmode voltage range for the analog interface between
an RF quadrature demodulator (differential, DC-coupled signal source) and a high-speed ADC.
Furthermore, the circuit provides required SINAD and
SFDR to demodulate a wideband (BW = 3.84MHz),
QAM-16 communication link. RISO isolates the op amp
output from the ADC capacitive input to prevent ringing
and oscillation. CIN filters high-frequency noise.

Figure 8. Transformer-Coupled Input Drive
Using Transformer Coupling
An RF transformer (Figure 8) provides an excellent
solution to convert a single-ended source signal to a
fully differential signal, required by the MAX1191 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 stepup 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.
In general, the MAX1191 provides better SFDR and
THD with fully differential input signals than singleended drive, especially for high input frequencies. In
differential input mode, even-order harmonics are lower
as both inputs (INA+, INA- and/or INB+, INB-) are bal-

anced, and each of the ADC inputs only requires half
the signal swing compared to single-ended mode.
Single-Ended AC-Coupled Input Signal
Figure 9 shows an AC-coupled, single-ended application. Amplifiers such as the MAX4108 provide high
speed, high bandwidth, low noise, and low distortion to
maintain the input signal integrity.
Buffered External Reference Drives
Multiple ADCs
The buffered external reference mode allows for more
control over the MAX1191 reference voltage and allows
multiple converters to use a common reference. To
drive one MAX1191 in buffered external reference
mode, the external circuit must sink 0.7µA, allowing one
reference circuit to easily drive the REFIN of multiple
converters to 1.024V ±10%.

Figure 10 shows the MAX6061 precision bandgap reference used as a common reference for multiple converters. The 1.248V output of the MAX6061 is divided
down to 1.023V as it passes through a one-pole, 10Hz,
lowpass filter to the MAX4250. The MAX4250 buffers
the 1.023V reference before its output is applied to the
MAX1191. The MAX4250 provides a low offset voltage
(for high gain accuracy) and a low noise level.
Unbuffered External Reference Drives
Multiple ADCs
The unbuffered external reference mode allows for precise control over the MAX1191 reference and allows

Connecting REFIN to GND disables the internal reference, allowing REFP, REFN, and COM to be driven
directly by a set of external reference sources.

Figure 11. External Unbuffered Reference Driving 160 ADCs with MAX4254 and MAX6066
Figure 11 shows the MAX6066 precision bandgap reference used as a common reference for multiple converters. The 2.500V output of the MAX6066 is followed
by a 10Hz lowpass filter and precision voltage-divider.
The MAX4254 buffers the taps of this divider to provide
the 1.75V, 1.5V, and 1.25V sources to drive REFP,
REFN, and COM. The MAX4254 provides a low offset
voltage and low noise level. 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 1.75V and 1.25V reference volt-
22
ages set the differential full-scale range of the associated ADCs at ±0.5V.
The common power supply for all active components
removes any concern regarding power-supply
sequencing when powering up or down.
With the outputs of the MAX4252 matching better than
0.1%, the buffers and subsequent lowpass filters support as many as 160 MAX1191s.

Figure 12. Typical QAM Receiver Application
Typical QAM Demodulation Application
Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is frequently
used in digital communications. 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 demodulated
into analog I and Q components. Figure 12 displays the
demodulation process performed in the analog domain
using the MAX1191 dual-matched, 3V, 8-bit ADC and
the MAX2451 quadrature demodulator to recover and
digitize the I and Q baseband signals. Before being digitized by the MAX1191, the mixed-down signal components can be filtered by matched analog filters, such as
Nyquist or pulse-shaping filters. The filters remove
unwanted images from the mixing process, thereby
enhancing the overall signal-to-noise (SNR) performance and minimizing intersymbol interference.
Grounding, Bypassing,
and Board Layout
The MAX1191 requires high-speed board layout design
techniques. Refer to the MAX1193 Evaluation Kit data
sheet for a board layout reference. Locate all bypass
capacitors as close to the device as possible, prefer-
ably on the same side as the ADC, using surfacemount devices for minimum inductance. Bypass VDD to
GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a
2.2µF bipolar capacitor. Bypass OVDD to OGND with a
0.1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 2.2µF bipolar
capacitor. Bypass REFP, REFN, and COM each to
GND with a 0.33µF ceramic capacitor.
Multilayer boards with separated ground and power
planes produce 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 ADC’s package.
Connect the MAX1191 exposed backside paddle to
GND. 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 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.

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 MAX1191 are measured using
the end-point 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.
Offset Error
Ideally, the midscale MAX1191 transition occurs at 0.5
LSB above midscale. The offset error is the amount of
deviation between the measured transition point and
the ideal transition point.
Gain Error
Ideally, the full-scale MAX1191 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.
24
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] = 6.02 × N + 1.76
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
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

Third-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, f1 and f2, are present at the
inputs. The third-order intermodulation products are (2
x f1 ±f2), (2 x f2 ±f1). The individual input tone levels
are at -7dB FS.

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 x f1), (2 x f2), (2 x f1 ±f2), (2 x f2
±f1). The individual input tone levels are at -7dB FS.
Power-Supply Rejection
Power-supply rejection is defined as the shift in offset
and gain error when the power supplies are moved
±5%.
Small-Signal Bandwidth
A small -20dB FS analog input signal is applied to an
ADC in such a way that 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.
Note that the track/hold (T/H) performance is usually
the limiting factor for the small-signal input bandwidth.
Full-Power Bandwidth
A large -0.5dB FS 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.
