MAXIM MAX19191

19-5099; Rev 0; 1/10
Ultra-Low-Power, 10Msps, 8-Bit ADC
Features
The MAX19191 is an ultra-low-power, 8-bit, 10Msps
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The device features
a fully differential wideband track-and-hold (T/H) input.
This input has a 440MHz bandwidth and accepts fully
differential or single-ended signals. The MAX19191
delivers a typical signal-to-noise and distortion (SINAD)
of 48.6dB at an input frequency of 1.875MHz and a
sampling rate of 10Msps while consuming only
15.3mW. 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 MAX19191 features three power-down
modes to conserve power during idle periods. Excellent
dynamic performance, ultra-low power, and small size
make the MAX19191 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 MAX19191 to use its internal
reference or accept an externally applied reference for
applications requiring increased accuracy.
The MAX19191 features parallel, CMOS-compatible
three-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 MAX19191 is available in a 5mm × 5mm, 28pin thin QFN package, and is specified for the extended
industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
For higher sampling frequency applications, refer to the
MAX1195–MAX1198 dual 8-bit ADCs. For a dual-channel,
pin-compatible version, refer to the MAX19192 data
sheet.

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 -0.5dBFS 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.

The MAX19191 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.

FLASH
ADC
DAC
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 MAX19191 functional
diagram.

Figure 3. Internal T/H Circuits
Input Track-and-Hold (T/H) Circuits
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 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 pipeline from the
fast-changing inputs. The wide input bandwidth T/H
amplifier allows the MAX19191 to track and sample/hold
analog inputs of high frequencies (> Nyquist). The ADC
inputs (IN+, IN-) can be driven either differentially or single ended. Match the impedance of IN+ and IN-, and
set the common-mode voltage to midsupply (VDD/2) for
optimum performance.

Analog Inputs and Reference
Configurations
The MAX19191 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
MAX19191 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.

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
provide lowest possible jitter. Any significant aperture
jitter would limit the SNR performance of the on-chip
ADCs as follows:

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
VREFP to (VDD/2 +0.256V) ±10%, and drive VREFN to
(VDD/2 - 0.256V) ±10%. Bypass REFP, REFN, and COM
each with a 0.33µF capacitor.
For detailed circuit suggestions and how to drive this
dual ADC in buffered/unbuffered external reference
mode, see the Applications Information section.
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 MAX19191
clock input operates with a VDD/2 voltage threshold
and accepts a 50% ±10% duty cycle (see the Typical
Operating Characteristics).
System Timing Requirements
Figure 5 shows the relationship between the clock, analog inputs, DVAL indicator, and the resulting output
data. Input data is sampled on the rising edge of the
clock signal (CLK). Five clock cycles later, output data
is updated on the rising edge of the CLK. The DVAL
indicator follows CLK with a typical delay time of 6ns
and remains high when the output data is valid.
Including the delay through the output latch, the total
clock-cycle latency is 5 clock cycles. Output data
remains valid for half a clock period.

Power Modes (PD0, PD1)
The MAX19191 has four power modes that are controlled with PD0 and PD1. Four power modes allow the
MAX19191 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
MAX19191 and placing the outputs in three-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

OFFSET BINARY OUTPUT CODE (LSB)
D0–D7 and DVAL are TTL/CMOS-logic compatible. The
digital output coding is offset binary (Table 2, Figure 6).
The capacitive load on the digital outputs D0–D7
should be kept as low as possible (< 15pF) to avoid
large digital currents feeding back into the analog portion of the MAX19191 and degrading its dynamic performance. Buffers on the digital outputs isolate them
from heavy capacitive loads. To improve the dynamic
performance of the MAX19191, add 100Ω resistors in
series with the digital outputs close to the MAX19191.
Refer to the MAX19191 evaluation kit schematic for an
example of the digital outputs driving a digital buffer
through 100Ω series resistors.

outputs transition from three-state to on, the last converted word is placed on the digital outputs.
In idle mode, the pipeline ADC, reference, and clock
distribution circuits are powered, but the outputs are
forced to three-state. The wake-up time from idle mode
is dominated by the 5ns required for the output drivers
to start from three-state. When the outputs transition
from three-state to on, the last converted word is
placed on the digital outputs.
In the normal operating mode, all sections of the
MAX19191 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
differential, DC-coupled signal source and a
high-speed ADC. RISO isolates the op amp output from
the ADC capacitive input to prevent ringing and oscillation. CIN filters high-frequency noise.
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 MAX19191 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.
In general, the MAX19191 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 are balanced, and the ADC input only
requires half the signal swing compared to singleended mode.

Figure 9 shows an AC-coupled, single-ended application. Amplifiers such as the MAX4108 provide high

Buffered External Reference Drives
Multiple ADCs
The buffered external reference mode allows for more
control over the MAX19191 reference voltage and
allows multiple converters to use a common reference.
To drive one MAX19191 in buffered external reference
16
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
MAX19191. 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 MAX19191 reference and allows
multiple converters to use a common reference.
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 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,
18
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 voltages 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 MAX19191s.

Ultra-Low-Power, 10Msps, 8-Bit ADC
The MAX19191 requires high-speed board layout
design techniques. Refer to the MAX19191 evaluation
kit data sheet for a board layout reference. Locate all
bypass capacitors as close as possible to the device,
preferably 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 MAX19191 exposed backside pad to
GND. Join the two ground planes at a single point so
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.
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 MAX19191 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

Offset Error
Ideally, the midscale MAX19191 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 MAX19191 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.
Dynamic Parameter Definitions
Aperture Jitter
Figure 12 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 12).
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] = 6.02 × N + 1.76

MAX19191
Ultra-Low-Power, 10Msps, 8-Bit ADC
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.
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 -7dBFS.
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion (SINAD)
Third-Order Intermodulation (IM3)
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.
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 -7dBFS.
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 =
Small-Signal Bandwidth
SINAD - 1.76

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:
⎡
2
2
2
2

⎢ V2 + V3 + V4 + V5 + V6

Power-Supply Rejection
Power-supply rejection is defined as the shift in offset
and gain error when the power supplies are moved
±5%.
⎤
⎥
⎥
⎥⎦
where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2–V6 are
the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 6th-order harmonics.
A small -20dBFS 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 -0.5dBFS 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.
Chip Information
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.
