MAXIM MAX106CHC

19-1486; Rev 0; 7/99
±5V, 600Msps, 8-Bit ADC with On-Chip
2.2GHz Bandwidth Track/Hold Amplifier
The MAX106 PECL-compatible, 600Msps, 8-bit analog-todigital converter (ADC) allows accurate digitizing of analog signals with bandwidths to 2.2GHz. Fabricated on
Maxim’s proprietary advanced GST-2 bipolar process, the
MAX106 integrates a high-performance track/hold (T/H)
amplifier and a quantizer on a single monolithic die.
The innovative design of the internal T/H, which has an
exceptionally wide 2.2GHz full-power input bandwidth,
results in high, 7.6 effective bits performance at the
Nyquist frequency. A fully differential comparator design
and decoding circuitry combine to reduce out-ofsequence code errors (thermometer bubbles or sparkle
codes) and provide excellent metastable performance of
one error per 1027 clock cycles. Unlike other ADCs, which
can have errors that result in false full- or zero-scale outputs, the MAX106 limits the error magnitude to 1LSB.
The analog input is designed for either differential or single-ended use with a ±250mV input voltage range. Dual,
differential, PECL-compatible output data paths ensure
easy interfacing and include an 8:16 demultiplexer feature
that reduces output data rates to one-half the sampling
clock rate. The PECL outputs can be operated from any
supply between +3V to +5V for compatibility with +3.3V or
+5V referenced systems. Control inputs are provided for
interleaving additional MAX106 devices to increase the
effective system sampling rate.
The MAX106 is packaged in a 25mm x 25mm, 192-contact Enhanced Super-Ball-Grid Array (ESBGA™), and is
specified over the commercial (0°C to +70°C) temperature
range. For a pin-compatible higher speed upgrade, refer
to the MAX104 (1Gsps) and MAX108 (1.5Gsps) data
sheets.

Note 1: Static linearity parameters are computed from a “best-fit” straight line through the code transition points. The full-scale
range (FSR) is defined as 256 · slope of the line.
Note 2: The offset control input is a self-biased voltage divider from the internal +2.5V reference voltage. The nominal open-circuit
voltage is +1.25V. It may be driven from an external potentiometer connected between REFOUT and GNDI.
Note 3: The clock input’s termination voltage can be operated between -2.0V and GNDI. Observe the absolute maximum ratings on
the CLK+ and CLK- inputs.
Note 4: Input logic levels are measured with respect to the VCCO power-supply voltage.
Note 5: All PECL digital outputs are loaded with 50Ω to VCCO - 2.0V. Measurements are made with respect to the VCCO powersupply voltage.
Note 6: The current in the VCCO power supply does not include the current in the digital output’s emitter followers, which is a function of the load resistance and the VTT termination voltage.
Note 7: Common-mode rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of the change in the transfer-curve offset voltage to the change in the
common-mode voltage, expressed in dB.
Note 8: Measured with the positive supplies tied to the same potential, VCCA = VCCD = VCCI. VCC varies from +4.75V to +5.25V.
Note 9: VEE varies from -5.25V to -4.75V.
Note 10: Power-supply rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of the change in the transfer-curve offset voltage to the change in power
supply voltage, expressed in dB.
Note 11: Effective number of bits (ENOB) and signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) are computed from a curve fit referenced to the
theoretical full-scale range.

AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (continued)
Note 12: Total harmonic distortion (THD) is computed from the first five harmonics.
Note 13: Guaranteed by design with a reset pulse width of one clock period or longer.
Note 14: The DREADY to DATA propagation delay is measured from the 50% point on the rising edge of the DREADY signal (when
the output data changes) to the 50% point on a data output bit. This places the falling edge of the DREADY signal in the
middle of the data output valid window, within the differences between the DREADY and DATA rise and fall times, which
gives maximum setup and hold time for latching external data latches.

Detailed Description
The MAX106 is an 8-bit, 600Msps flash ADC with onchip T/H amplifier and differential PECL-compatible
outputs. The ADC (Figure 1) employs a fully differential
8-bit quantizer and a unique encoding scheme to limit
metastable states to typically one error per 1027 clock
cycles, with no error exceeding 1LSB max.
When clocked at 600Msps, the MAX106 provides a typical effective number of bits (ENOB) of 7.6 bits at an
analog input frequency of 300MHz. The analog input of
the MAX106 is designed for differential or single-ended
use with a ±250mV full-scale input range. In addition,
this fast ADC features an on-board +2.5V precision
bandgap reference. If desired, an external reference
can also be used.
An integrated 8:16 output demultiplexer simplifies interfacing to the part by reducing the output data rate to
one-half the sampling clock rate. This demultiplexer
has internal reset capability that allows multiple
MAX106s to be time-interleaved to achieve higher
effective sampling rates.

On-Chip Track/Hold Amplifier
As with all ADCs, if the input waveform is changing
rapidly during conversion, ENOB and signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) specifications will degrade. The MAX106’s
on-chip, wide-bandwidth (2.2GHz) T/H amplifier reduces
this effect and increases the ENOB performance significantly, allowing precise capture of fast analog data at
high conversion rates.
The T/H amplifier buffers the input signal and allows a
full-scale signal input range of ±250mV. The T/H amplifier’s differential 50Ω input termination simplifies interfacing to the MAX106 with controlled impedance lines.
Figure 3 shows a simplified diagram of the T/H amplifier
stage internal to the MAX106.
Aperture width, delay, and jitter (or uncertainty) are
parameters that affect the dynamic performance of
high-speed converters. Aperture jitter, in particular,
directly influences SNR and limits the maximum slew
rate (dV/dt) that can be digitized without a significant
contribution of errors. The MAX106’s innovative T/H
amplifier design typically limits aperture jitter to less
than 0.5ps.
Aperture Width
Aperture width (tAW) is the time the T/H circuit requires
(Figure 4) to disconnect the hold capacitor from the
input circuit (for instance to turn off the sampling bridge
and put the T/H unit in hold mode).
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation
(Figure 4) in the time between the samples.
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 4).

The MAX106’s flash or parallel architecture provides
the fastest multibit conversion of all common integrated
ADC designs. The key to this high-speed flash architecture is the use of an innovative, high-performance
comparator design. The flash converter and downstream logic translate the comparator outputs into a
parallel 8-bit output code and pass this binary code on
to the optional 8:16 demultiplexer, where primary and
auxiliary ports output PECL-compatible data at up to
300Msps per port (depending on how the demultiplexer section is set on the MAX106). The ideal transfer
function appears in Figure 2.

Internal Reference
The MAX106 features an on-chip +2.5V precision
bandgap reference that can be used by connecting
REFOUT to REFIN. This connects the reference output
to the positive input of the reference buffer. The buffer’s
negative input is internally tied to GNDR. GNDR must
be connected to GNDI on the user’s application board.
REFOUT can source up to 2.5mA to supply external
devices if required.
An adjustable external reference can be used to adjust
the ADC’s full-scale range. To use an external reference supply, connect a high-precision reference to the
REFIN pin and leave the REFOUT pin floating. In this
configuration, REFOUT must not be simultaneously
connected at any time, to avoid conflicts between the
two references. REFIN has a typical input resistance of
5kΩ and accepts input voltages of +2.5V ±200mV.
Using the MAX106’s internal reference is recommended for best performance.
Digital Outputs
The MAX106 provides data in offset binary format to differential PECL outputs. A simplified circuit schematic of
the PECL output cell is shown in Figure 5. All PECL outputs are powered from VCCO, which may be operated
from any voltage between +3.0V to VCCD for flexible
interfacing with either +3.3V or +5V systems. The nominal VCCO supply voltage is +3.3V.
All PECL outputs on the MAX106 are open-emitter
types and must be terminated at the far end of each
transmission line with 50Ω to VCCO - 2V. Table 1 lists all
MAX106 PECL outputs and their functions.

Demultiplexer Operation
The MAX106 features an internal data demultiplexer,
which provides for three different modes of operation
(see the following sections on Demultiplexed DIV2
Mode, Non-Demultiplexed DIV1 Mode, and Decimation
DIV4 Mode) controlled by two TTL/CMOS-compatible
inputs: DEMUXEN and DIVSELECT.
DEMUXEN enables or disables operation of the internal
1:2 demultiplexer. A logic high on DEMUXEN activates
the internal demultiplexer, and a logic low deactivates
it. With the internal demultiplexer enabled, DIVSELECT
controls the selection of the operational mode. DIVSELECT low selects demultiplexed DIV2 mode, and DIVSELECT high selects decimation DIV4 mode (Table 2).

MAX106
Non-Demultiplexed DIV1 Mode
The MAX106 may be operated at up to the full sampling rate (600Msps) in non-demultiplexed DIV1 mode
(Table 2). In this mode, the internal demultiplexer is disabled and sampled data is presented to the primary
port only, with the data repeated at the auxiliary port,
but delayed by one clock cycle (Figure 6). Since the
auxiliary output port contains the same data stream as
the primary output port, the auxiliary port can be shut
down to save power by connecting AUXEN1 and
AUXEN2 to digital ground (GNDD). This powers down
the internal bias cells and causes both outputs (true
and complementary) of the auxiliary port to pull up to a
logic-high level. To save additional power, the external
50Ω termination resistors connected to the PECL termi-
MAX106
±5V, 600Msps, 8-Bit ADC with On-Chip
2.2GHz Bandwidth Track/Hold Amplifier
Decimation DIV4 Mode
The MAX106 also offers a special decimated, demultiplexed output (Figure 8) that discards every other input
sample and outputs data at one-quarter the input sampling rate for system debugging at slower output data
rates. With an input clock of 600MHz, the effective output data rate will be reduced to 150MHz per output port
in the DIV4 mode (Table 2). Since every other sample is
discarded, the effective sampling rate is 300Msps.
Overrange Operation
A single differential PECL overrange output bit (OR+,
OR-) is provided for both primary and auxiliary demultiplexed outputs. The operation of the overrange bit
depends on the status of the internal demultiplexer. In
demultiplexed DIV2 mode and decimation DIV4 mode,
ADC SAMPLE NUMBER
CLK-
n

the OR bit will flag an overrange condition if either the
primary or auxiliary port contains an overranged sample (Table 2). In non-demultiplexed DIV1 mode, the OR
port will flag an overrange condition only when the primary output port contains an overranged sample.
Applications Information
Single-Ended Analog Inputs
The MAX106 T/H amplifier is designed to work at full
speed for both single-ended and differential analog
inputs (Figure 9). Inputs VIN+ and VIN- feature on-chip,
laser-trimmed 50Ω termination resistors to provide
excellent voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) performance.

Offset Adjust
The MAX106 provides an analog input (VOSADJ) to compensate for system offsets. The offset adjust input is a
self-biased voltage divider from the internal +2.5V precision reference. The nominal open-circuit voltage is onehalf the reference voltage. With an input resistance of
typically 25kΩ, this pin may be driven by an external
10kΩ potentiometer (Figure 11) connected between
REFOUT and GNDI to correct for offset errors. This control provides a typical ±5.5LSB offset adjustment range.

Clock Operation
The MAX106 clock inputs are designed for either single-ended or differential operation (Figure 12) with flexible input drive requirements. Each clock input is
terminated with an on-chip, laser-trimmed 50Ω resistor
to CLKCOM (clock-termination return). The CLKCOM
termination voltage can be connected anywhere
between ground and -2V for compatibility with standard
ECL drive levels.
The clock inputs are internally buffered with a preamplifier to ensure proper operation of the data converter,
even with small-amplitude sine-wave sources. The
MAX106 was designed for single-ended, low-phasenoise sine-wave clock signals with as little as 100mV
amplitude (-10dBm). This eliminates the need for an
external ECL clock buffer and its added jitter.
Single-Ended Clock Inputs (Sine-Wave Drive)
Excellent performance is obtained by AC- or DC-coupling a low-phase-noise sine-wave source into a single
clock input (Figure 13a, Table 5). For proper DC balance, the undriven clock input should be externally
50Ω reverse-terminated to GNDI.

Differential Clock Inputs (Sine-Wave Drive)
The advantages of differential clock drive (Figure 13b,
Table 5) can be obtained by using an appropriate
balun or transformer to convert single-ended sine-wave
sources into differential drives. The precision on-chip
laser-trimmed 50Ω clock-termination resistors ensure
excellent amplitude matching. See Single-Ended Clock
Inputs (Sine-Wave Drive) for proper input amplitude
requirements.
Single-Ended Clock Inputs (ECL Drive)
Configure the MAX106 for single-ended ECL clock
drive by connecting the clock inputs as shown in Figure
13c (Table 5). A well-bypassed VBB supply (-1.3V) is
essential to avoid coupling noise into the undriven
clock input, which would degrade the dynamic performance.
Differential Clock Inputs (ECL Drive)
The MAX106 may be driven from a standard differential
(Figure 13d, Table 5) ECL clock source by setting the
clock termination voltage at CLKCOM to -2V. Bypass
the clock-termination return (CLKCOM) as close to the
ADC as possible with a 0.01µF capacitor connected to
GNDI.

The dynamic performance of the data converter is
essentially unaffected by clock-drive power levels from
-10dBm (100mV clock signal amplitude) to +10dBm
(1V clock signal amplitude). The MAX106 dynamic performance specifications are determined by a singleended clock drive of +4dBm (500mV clock signal
amplitude). To avoid saturation of the input amplifier
stage, limit the clock power level to a maximum of
+10dBm.

The clock inputs CLK+ and CLK- can also be driven

series with a capacitor whose value is identical to that
used to couple the driven input.

Demux Reset Operation
The MAX106 features an internal 1:2 demultiplexer that
reduces the data rate of the output digital data to onehalf the sample clock rate. Demux reset is necessary
when interleaving multiple MAX106s and/or synchronizing external demultiplexers. The simplified block diagram of Figure 1 shows that the demux reset signal path
consists of four main circuit blocks. From input to output, they are the reset input dual latch, the reset
pipeline, the demux clock generator, and the reset output. The signals associated with the demux reset operation and the control of this section are listed in Table 6.
Reset Input Dual Latch
The reset input dual-latch circuit block accepts differential PECL reset inputs referenced to the same VCCO
power supply that powers the MAX106 PECL outputs.
For applications that do not require a synchronizing
reset, the reset inputs can be left open. In this case,
they will self-bias to a proper level with internal 50kΩ
resistors and a 20µA current source. This combination
creates a -1V difference between RSTIN+ and RSTINto disable the internal reset circuitry. When driven with
PECL logic levels terminated with 50Ω to (VCCO - 2V),
the internal biasing network can easily be overdriven.
Figure 14 shows a simplified schematic of the reset
input structure.
To properly latch the reset input data, setup (tSU) and
data-hold times (tHD) must be met with respect to the
rising edge of the sample clock. The timing diagram of
Figure 15 shows the timing relationship of the reset
input and sampling clock.

Reset Pipeline
The next section in the reset signal path is the reset
pipeline. This block adds clock latency cycles to the
reset signal to match the latency of the converted analog data through the ADC. In this way, when reset data
arrives at the RSTOUT+/RSTOUT- PECL output it will be
time-aligned with the analog data present in the primary and auxiliary ports at the time the reset input was
deasserted at RSTIN+/RSTIN-.
Demux Clock Generator
The demux clock generator creates the DIV1, DIV2, or
DIV4 clocks required for the different modes of demux
and non-demux operation. The TTL/CMOS control
inputs DEMUXEN and DIVSELECT control the demuxed
mode selection, as described in Table 2. The timing
diagrams in Figures 16 and 17 show the output timing
and data alignment in DIV1, DIV2, and DIV4 modes,
respectively.
The phase relationship between the sampling clock at
the CLK+/CLK- inputs and the data-ready clock at the
DREADY+/DREADY- outputs will be random at device
power-up. As with all divide-by-two circuits, two possible phase relationships exist between these clocks.
The difference between the phases is the inversion of
the DIV2/DREADY clock. The timing diagram in Figure
16 shows this relationship.
Reset all MAX106 devices to a known DREADY phase
after initial power-up for applications such as interleaving, where two or more MAX106 devices are used to
achieve higher effective sampling rates. This synchronization is necessary to set the order of output samples
between the devices. Resetting the converters accomplishes this synchronization. The reset signal is used to
force the internal counter in the demux clock-generator
block to a known phase state.

Reset Output
Finally, the reset signal is presented in differential PECL
format to the last block of the reset signal path.
RSTOUT+/RSTOUT- output the time-aligned reset signal used for resetting additional external demuxes in
applications where further reduction in the output data
rate is desired. Many demux devices require their reset
signal to be asserted for several clock cycles while they
are clocked. To accomplish this, the MAX106 DREADY
clock will continue to toggle while RSTOUT is asserted.
When a single MAX106 device is used, no synchronizing reset is required since the order of the samples in
the output ports is unchanged regardless of the phase
of the DREADY clock. In DIV2 mode, the data in the
auxiliary port is delayed by 8.5 clock cycles while the
data in the primary port is delayed by 7.5 clock cycles.
The older data is always in the auxiliary port, regardless
of the phase of the DREADY clock.
The reset output signal, RSTOUT, is delayed by one
fewer clock cycle (6.5 clock cycles) than the primary
port. The reduced latency of RSTOUT serves to mark

the start of synchronized data in the primary and auxiliary ports. When the RSTOUT signal returns to a zero,
the DREADY clock phase is reset.
Since there are two possible phases of the DREADY
clock with respect to the input clock, there are two possible timing diagrams to consider. The first timing diagram (Figure 18) shows the RSTOUT timing and data
alignment of the auxiliary and primary output ports
when the DREADY clock phase is already reset. For
this example, the RSTIN pulse is two clock cycles long.
Under this condition, the DREADY clock continues
uninterrupted, as does the data stream in the auxiliary
and primary ports.
The second timing diagram (Figure 19) shows the
results when the DREADY phase is opposite from the
reset phase. In this case, the DREADY clock “swallows”
a clock cycle of the sample clock, resynchronizing to
the reset phase. Note that the data stream in the auxiliary and primary ports has reversed. Before reset was

asserted, the auxiliary port contained “even” samples
while the primary port contained “odd” samples. After
RSTOUT is deasserted (which marks the start of the
DREADY clock’s reset phase), note that the order of the
samples in the ports has been reversed. The auxiliary
port also contains an out-of-sequence sample. This is a
consequence of the “swallowed” clock cycle that was
needed to resynchronize DREADY to the reset phase.
Also note that the older sample data is always in the auxiliary port, regardless of the DREADY phase.
These examples show the combinations that result with
a reset input signal of two clock cycles. It is also possible to successfully reset the internal MAX106 demux
with a reset pulse only one clock cycle long, proving
the setup-time and hold-time requirements are met with
respect to the sample clock. However, this is not recommended when additional external demuxes are
used.
Note that many external demuxes require their reset
signals to be asserted while they are clocked, and may
require more than one clock cycle of reset. More importantly, if the phase of the DREADY clock is such that a
clock pulse will be “swallowed” to resynchronize, then
no reset output will occur at all. In effect, the RSTOUT
signal will be “swallowed” along with the clock pulse.
The best method to ensure complete system reset is to
assert RSTIN for the appropriate number of DREADY
clock cycles required to complete reset of the external
demuxes.
Die Temperature Measurement
For applications that require monitoring of the die temperature, it is possible to determine the die temperature
of the MAX106 under normal operating conditions by
observing the currents ICONST and IPTAT, at contacts
ICONST and IPTAT. ICONST and IPTAT are two 100µA
(nominal) currents that are designed to be equal at
+27°C. These currents are derived from the MAX106’s
internal precision +2.5V bandgap reference. ICONST is
designed to be temperature independent, while IPTAT is
directly proportional to the absolute temperature. These
currents are derived from pnp current sources referenced from VCCI and driven into two series diodes connected to GNDI. The contacts ICONST and IPTAT may
be left open because internal catch diodes prevent saturation of the current sources. The simplest method of
______________________________________________________________________________________
23
MAX106
±5V, 600Msps, 8-Bit ADC with On-Chip
2.2GHz Bandwidth Track/Hold Amplifier
determining the die temperature is to measure each
current with an ammeter (which shuts off the internal
catch diodes) referenced to GNDI. The die temperature
in °C is then calculated by the expression:
 I

TDIE = 300 PTAT  − 273
 ICONST 
Another method of determining the die temperature
uses the operational amplifier circuit shown in Figure
20. The circuit produces a voltage that is proportional
to the die temperature. A possible application for this
signal is speed control for a cooling fan to maintain
constant MAX106 die temperature. The circuit operates
by converting the ICONST and IPTAT currents to voltages VCONST and VPTAT, with appropriate scaling to
account for their equal values at +27°C. This voltage
difference is then amplified by two amplifiers in an
instrumentation-amplifier configuration with adjustable
gain. The nominal value of the circuit gain is 4.5092V/V.
The gain of the instrumentation amplifier is given by the
expression:
AV =
VTEMP
VCONST − VPTAT
AV = 1 +
To calibrate the circuit, first connect pins 2-3 on JU1 to
zero the input of the PTAT path. With the MAX106 powered up, adjust potentiometer R3 until the voltage at the
VTEMP output is -2.728V. Connecting pins 1-2 on JU1
restores normal operation to the circuit after the calibration is complete. The voltage at the VTEMP node will
then be proportional to the actual MAX106 die temperature according to the equation:
⋅
TDIE (°C) = 100 VTEMP
The overall accuracy of the die temperature measurement using the operational-amplifier scaling circuitry is
limited mainly by the accuracy and matching of the
resistors in the circuit.
Thermal Management
Depending on the application environment for the
ESBGA-packaged MAX106, the customer may have to
apply an external heatsink to the package after board
assembly. Existing open-tooled heatsinks are available
from standard heatsink suppliers (listed in Heatsink
Manufacturers). The heatsinks are available with preapplied adhesive for easy package mounting.

Grounding and power-supply decoupling strongly influence the MAX106’s performance. At 600MHz clock frequency and 8-bit resolution, unwanted digital crosstalk
may couple through the input, reference, power-supply,
and ground connections and adversely influence the
dynamic performance of the ADC. Therefore, closely
follow the grounding and power-supply decoupling
guidelines (Figure 22).

and digital ground connections (GNDA, GNDI, GNDR,
and GNDD, respectively), the PCB should feature separate analog and digital ground sections connected at
only one point (star ground at the power supply). Digital
signals should run above the digital ground plane, and
analog signals should run above the analog ground
plane. Keep digital signals far away from the sensitive
analog inputs, reference inputs, and clock inputs. Highspeed signals, including clocks, analog inputs, and
digital outputs, should be routed on 50Ω microstrip
lines such as those employed on the MAX106 evaluation kit.
The MAX106 has separate analog and digital powersupply inputs: VEE (-5V analog and substrate supply)
and VCCI (+5V) to power the T/H amplifier, clock distribution, bandgap reference, and reference amplifier;
V CCA (+5V) to supply the ADC’s comparator array;
VCCO (+3V to VCCD) to establish power for all PECLbased circuit sections; and VCCD (+5V) to supply all
logic circuits of the data converter.
The MAX106 V EE supply contacts must not be left
open while the part is being powered up. To avoid this
condition, add a high-speed Schottky diode (such as a
Motorola 1N5817) between VEE and GNDI. This diode
prevents the device substrate from forward biasing,
which could cause latchup.
Maxim strongly recommends using a multilayer printed

Dynamic Parameter Definitions
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
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):
SNR (max) = (6.02 · N + 1.76) 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, which includes all spectral
components minus the fundamental, the first five harmonics, and the DC offset.
Effective Number of Bits
ENOB indicates the global accuracy of an ADC at a
specific input frequency and sampling rate. An ideal
ADC’s error consists of quantization noise only. ENOB
is computed from a curve fit referenced to the theoretical full-scale range.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of the first five harmonics of the input signal to the
fundamental itself. This is expressed as:


THD = 20 log   V22 + V32 + V4 2 + V52  / V1


⋅
where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2 through
V5 are the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 5th-order
harmonics.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
Spurious-free dynamic range (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
The two-tone intermodulation distortion (IMD) is the
ratio, expressed in decibels, of either input tone to the
worst 3rd-order (or higher) intermodulation products.
The input tone levels are at -7dB full scale.

depends on the location of the comparator in the comparator network. If it is the comparator for the MSB, the
error will reach full scale. The MAX106’s unique encoding scheme solves this problem by virtually eliminating
these errors.
