MAX107
General Description
The MAX107 is a dual, 6-bit, analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) designed to allow fast and precise digitizing of inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) baseband signals. The
MAX107 converts the analog signals of both I and Q
components to digital outputs at 400Msps while achieving a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of typically 37dB with
an input frequency of 125MHz, and an integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.25
LSB. The MAX107 analog input preamplifiers feature a
400MHz, -0.5dB, and a 1.5GHz, -3dB analog input
bandwidth. Matching channel-to-channel performance
is typically 0.04dB gain, 0.1LSB offset, and 0.2 degrees
phase. Dynamic performance is 36.7dB signal-to-noise
plus distortion (SINAD) with a 125MHz analog input signal and a sampling speed of 400MHz. A fully differential
comparator design and encoding circuits reduce out-ofsequence errors, and ensure excellent metastable performance of only one error per 1016 clock cycles.
In addition, the MAX107 provides LVDS digital outputs
with an internal 6:12 demultiplexer that reduces the output data rate to one-half the sample clock rate. Data is
output in two’s complement format. The MAX107 operates from a +5V analog supply and the LVDS output
ports operate at +3.3V. The data converter’s typical
power dissipation is 2.6W. The device is packaged in
an 80-pin, TQFP package with exposed paddle, and is
specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range. For a higher-speed, 800Msps version of the
MAX107, please refer to the MAX105 data sheet.

Note 1: INL and DNL is measured using a sine-histogram method.
Note 2: Input offset is the voltage required to cause a transition between codes 0 and -1.
Note 3: Numbers provided are for DC-coupled case. The user has the choice of AC-coupling, in which case, the DC input voltage
level does not matter.
Note 4: The peak-to-peak input voltage required, causing a full-scale digitized output when using a trigonometric curve-fitting algo
rithm (e.g. FFT).
Note 5: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 6: Common-mode rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of the change in the offset voltage to the change in the common-mode
voltage expressed in dB.
Note 7: Measured with analog power supplies tied to the same potential.
Note 8: Effective number of bits (ENOB) is computed from a curve-fit referenced to the theoretical full-scale range.
Note 9: The clock and input frequencies are chosen so that there are 2041 cycles in an 8,192-long record.
Note 10: Signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) is measured both with the other channel idling and converting an out-of-phase signal.
The worst case number is presented. Harmonic distortion components two through five are excluded from the noise.
Note 11: Harmonic distortion components two through five are included in the total harmonic distortion specification.
Note 12: Both I and Q inputs are effectively tied together (e.g. driven by power splitter). Signal amplitude is -0.5dB FS at an input
frequency of fIN = 124.999 MHz.
Note 13: Measured with a differential probe, 1pF capacitance.

Detailed Description
The MAX107 is a dual, +5V, 6-bit, 400Msps flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC), designed for high-speed,
high bandwidth I&Q digitizing. Each ADC (Figure 1)
employs a fully differential, wide bandwidth input stage,
6-bit quantizers and a unique encoding scheme to limit
metastable states to typically one error per 1016 clock
cycles, with no error exceeding a maximum of 1LSB. An
integrated 6:12 output demultiplexer simplifies interfacing to the part by reducing the output data rate to onehalf the sampling clock rate. The MAX107 outputs data
in LVDS two’s complement format.
When clocked at 400Msps, the MAX107 provides a typical signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) of 36.7dB
with a 125MHz input tone. The analog input of the
MAX107 is designed for differential or single-ended use
with a ±400mV full-scale input range. In addition, the
MAX107 features an on-board +2.5V precision
bandgap reference, which is scaled to meet the analog
input full-scale range.
Principle of Operation
The MAX107 employs a flash or parallel architecture.
The key to this high-speed flash architecture is the use
of an innovative, high-performance comparator design.
Each quantizer and downstream logic translates the
comparator outputs into 6-bit, parallel codes in two’s
complement format and passes them on to the internal
6:12 demultiplexer. The demultiplexer enables the
ADCs to provide their output data at half the sampling
speed on primary and auxiliary ports. LVDS data is
available at speeds of up to 200MHz per output port.
Input Amplifier Circuits
As with all ADCs, if the input waveform is changing
rapidly during conversion, effective number of bits
(ENOB), signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD), and
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) specifications will degrade.

+1.2V, and must be differentially terminated at the far
end of each transmission line pair (true and complementary) with 100Ω.
Out-Of-Range Operation
A single output pair (DOR+, DOR-) is provided to flag
an out-of-range condition, if either the I or Q channel is
out-of-range, where out-of-range is above +FS or below
-FS. It features the same latency as the ADCs output
data and is demultiplexed in a similar fashion. With a
400MHz system clock, DOR+ and DOR- are clocked at
up to 200MHz.
Applications Information
Single-Ended Analog Inputs
The MAX107 is designed to work at full-speed for both
single-ended and differential analog inputs without significant degradation in its dynamic performance. Both
input channels I (INI+, INI-) and Q (INQ+, INQ-) have
2kΩ impedance and allow for AC- and DC-coupled
input signals. In a typical DC-coupled single-ended
configuration (Table 1), the analog input signals enter
the analog input amplifier stages at the in-phase-input
pins INI+/INQ+, while the inverted phase input INI/INQ- pins are AC-coupled to AGNDI/AGNDQ. Singleended operation allows for an input amplitude of
800mVp-p, centered around VREF.
Differential Analog Inputs
To obtain +FS digital outputs with differential input drive
(Table 2), 400mV must be applied between INI+ (INQ+)
and INI- (INQ-). Midscale digital output codes occur
when there is no voltage difference between INI+
(INQ+) and INI- (INQ-). For a -FS digital output code
both in-phase (INI+, INQ+) and inverted input (INI-,
INQ-) must see -400mV.
Single-Ended to Differential
Conversion Using a Balun
An RF balun (Figure 3) provides an excellent solution to
convert a single-ended signal to a fully differential signal, required by the MAX107 for optimum performance.
At higher frequencies, the MAX107 provides better
SFDR and THD with fully differential input signals over
single-ended input signals. In differential input mode,
even-order harmonics are suppressed and each input
requires only half the signal-swing compared to singleended mode.
Clock Input
The MAX107 features clock inputs designed for either
single-ended or differential operation with very flexible
input drive requirements. The clock inputs (AC- or DCcoupled) provide a 5kΩ input impedance to AVCC/2
and are internally buffered with a preamplifier to ensure
proper operation of the converter even with smallamplitude sine-wave sources. The MAX107 was

Excellent performance is obtained by AC- or DC-coupling a low-phase noise sine-wave source into a single

timing and data alignment of the auxiliary and primary
output ports in relationship with the CLK and DREADY

clock cycles while data in the auxiliary port is delayed
by six clock cycles.
Typical I/Q Application
Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is frequently
used in digital communication systems to increase
channel capacity. A QAM signal is modulated in both
amplitude and phase. With a demodulator, this QAM
signal gets downconverted and separated in its inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) components. Both I&Q
channels are digitized by an ADC at the baseband
level in order to recover the transmitted information.
Figure 8 shows a typical application circuit to directly
tune L-band signals to baseband, incorporating a
direct conversion tuner (MAX2108) and the MAX107 to
digitize I&Q channels with excellent phase- and gainmatching. A front-end L-C filter is required for anti-aliasing purposes.

Grounding, Bypassing,
and Board Layout
Grounding and power supply decoupling strongly influence the MAX107’s performance. At 400MHz clock frequency and 6-bit resolution, unwanted digital crosstalk
may couple through the input, reference, power supply,
ground connections, and adversely influence the
dynamic performance of the ADC. In addition, the I&Q
inputs may crosstalk through poorly designed decoupling circuits. Therefore, closely follow the grounding
and power-supply decoupling guidelines in Figure 9.
Maxim strongly recommends using a multilayer printed
circuit board (PC board) with separate ground and
power supply planes. Since the MAX107 has separate
analog and digital ground connections (AGND, AGNDI,
AGNDQ, AGNDR, OGNDI, and OGNDQ, respectively).
The PC board should feature separate sections designated to analog (AGND) and digital (OGND), connected at only one point. 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. High-speed signals, including clocks,
16
analog inputs, and digital outputs, should be routed on
50Ω microstrip lines, such as those employed on the
MAX105EV kit.
The MAX107 has separate analog and digital powersupply inputs:
•
AV CC = +5V ±5%: Power supply for the analog
input section of the clock circuit.
•
AVCCI = +5V ±5%: Power supply for the I-channel
common-mode buffer, pre-amp and quantizer.
•
AVCCQ = +5V ±5%: Power supply for the Q-channel common-mode buffer, pre-amp and quantizer.
•
AVCCR = +5V ±5%: Power supply for the on-chip
bandgap reference.
•
OVCCI = +3.3V ±10%: Power supply for the I-channel output drivers and DREADY circuitry.
•
OV CC Q = +3.3V ±10%: Power supply for the
Q-channel output drivers and DOR circuitry.
All supplies should be decoupled with large tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors at the point they enter the PC
board. For best performance, bypass all power supplies to the appropriate ground with a 10µF tantalum

with high quality 47pF ceramic chip capacitor located
very close to the MAX107 device filters high frequency
noise. A properly designed PC board (see MAX105EV
Kit data sheet) allows the user to connect all analog
supplies and all digital supplies together thereby
requiring only two separate power sources. Decoupling
AV CC, AV CCI, AV CCQ and AV CCR with ferrite-bead
suppressors prevents further crosstalk between the
individual analog supply pins
Thermal Management
The MAX107 is designed for a thermally enhanced 80pin TQFP package, providing greater design flexibility,
increased thermal efficiency and a low thermal junc-

tion-case (θjc) resistance of ≈1.26°C/W. In this package, the data converter die is attached to an exposed
pad (EP) leadframe using a thermally conductive
epoxy. The package is molded in a way, that this leadframe is exposed at the surface, facing the printed circuit board (PC board) side of the package (Figure 10).
This allows the package to be attached to the PC board
with standard infrared (IR) flow soldering techniques. A
specially created land pattern on the PC board, matching the size of the EP (7.5mm x 7.5mm) does not only
guarantee proper attachment of the chip, but can also
be used for heat-sinking purposes. Designing thermal
vias* into the land area and implementing large ground
planes in the PC board design, further enhance the
thermal conductivity between board and package. To
remove heat from an 80-pin TQFP package efficiently,
an array of 6 x 6 vias (≤0.3mm diameter per via hole
and 1.2mm pitch between via holes) is required.
Note: Efficient thermal management for the MAX107 is
strongly depending on PC board and circuit design,
component placement, and installation. Therefore,
exact performance figures cannot be provided.
However, the MAX105EV kit exhibits a typical θja of
18°C/W. For more information on proper design techniques and recommendations to enhance the thermal
performance of parts such as the MAX107, please refer

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 is drawn between the endpoints of the transfer
function, once offset and gain errors have been nullified. The static linearity parameters for the MAX107 are
measured using the sine-histogram 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 greater than -1LSB guarantees no
missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Dynamic Parameter Definitions
Aperture Jitter and Delay
Aperture uncertainties 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 significant
error. Aperture jitter limits the SNR performance of the
ADC according to the following relationship:
SNRdB = 20 x log10 [1 / (2 x π x fIN x tAJ[RMS])],
where fIN represents the analog input frequency and
tAJ is the RMS aperture jitter. The MAX107’s innovative

clock design limits aperture jitter to typically 1.5psRMS.
Figure 11 depicts the aperture jitter (tAJ), which is the
sample-to-sample variation in the 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 11).
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):
where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2 through
V5 are the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 5th-order harmonics.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is the ratio expressed in decibels of the RMS
amplitude of the fundamental to the RMS value of the
next largest spurious component, excluding DC offset.
Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
The two-tone IMD is the ratio expressed in decibels of
either input tone to the worst 3rd-order (or higher) intermodulation products. The individual input tone levels
are at -7dB full-scale and their envelope peaks at -1dB
full-scale.
Chip Information
TRANSISTOR COUNT: 12,286
SNRMAX[dB] = 6.02dB x N + 1.76dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantization noise: thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter
(see Aperture Uncertainties). 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 four harmonics, and the DC offset.
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion (SINAD)
SINAD is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS signal to all spectral components minus the fundamental
and the DC offset.
Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)
ENOB specifies the dynamic performance of an ADC at
a specific input frequency, amplitude, and sampling
rate relative to an ideal ADC’s quantization noise. For a
full-scale input ENOB is computed from:
ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76dB) / 6.02dB

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is typically the ratio of the RMS sum of the first four
harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself.
