19-3543; Rev 0; 2/05 KIT ATION EVALU E L B AVAILA Dual, 65Msps, 12-Bit, IF/Baseband ADC Features The MAX12527 is a dual 3.3V, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring fully differential wideband track-and-hold (T/H) inputs, driving internal quantizers. The MAX12527 is optimized for low power, small size, and high dynamic performance in intermediate frequency (IF) and baseband sampling applications. This dual ADC operates from a single 3.3V supply, consuming only 620mW while delivering a typical 69.8dB signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) performance at a 175MHz input frequency. The T/H input stages accept single-ended or differential inputs up to 400MHz. In addition to low operating power, the MAX12527 features a 166µW powerdown mode to conserve power during idle periods. A flexible reference structure allows the MAX12527 to use the internal 2.048V bandgap reference or accept an externally applied reference and allows the reference to be shared between the two ADCs. The reference structure allows the full-scale analog input range to be adjusted from ±0.35V to ±1.15V. The MAX12527 provides a common-mode reference to simplify design and reduce external component count in differential analog input circuits. The MAX12527 supports either a single-ended or differential input clock. User-selectable divide-by-two (DIV2) and divide-by-four (DIV4) modes allow for design flexibility and help eliminate the negative effects of clock jitter. Wide variations in the clock duty cycle are compensated with the ADC’s internal duty-cycle equalizer (DCE). The MAX12527 features two parallel, 12-bit-wide, CMOS-compatible outputs. The digital output format is pin-selectable to be either two’s complement or Gray code. A separate power-supply input for the digital outputs accepts a 1.7V to 3.6V voltage for flexible interfacing with various logic levels. The MAX12527 is available in a 10mm x 10mm x 0.8mm, 68-pin thin QFN package with exposed paddle (EP), and is specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range. For a 14-bit, pin-compatible version of this ADC, refer to the MAX12557 data sheet. ♦ Direct IF Sampling Up to 400MHz ♦ Excellent Dynamic Performance 70.4dB/69.8dB SNR at fIN = 70MHz/175MHz 84.4dBc/80.2dBc SFDR at fIN = 70MHz/175MHz ♦ 3.3V Low Power Operation 647mW (Differential Clock Mode) 620mW (Single-Ended Clock Mode) ♦ Fully Differential or Single-Ended Analog Input ♦ Adjustable Differential Analog Input Voltage ♦ 750MHz Input Bandwidth ♦ Adjustable, Internal or External, Shared Reference ♦ Differential or Single-Ended Clock ♦ Accepts 25% to 75% Clock Duty Cycle ♦ User-Selectable DIV2 and DIV4 Clock Modes ♦ Power-Down Mode ♦ CMOS Outputs in Two’s Complement or Gray Code ♦ Out-of-Range and Data-Valid Indicators ♦ Small, 68-Pin Thin QFN Package ♦ 14-Bit Compatible Version Available (MAX12557) ♦ Evaluation Kit Available (Order MAX12527 EV Kit) Applications IF and Baseband Communication Receivers Cellular, LMDS, Point-to-Point Microwave, MMDS, HFC, WLAN I/Q Receivers Ultrasound and Medical Imaging Portable Instrumentation Digital Set-Top Boxes Ordering Information PART TEMP RANGE MAX12527ETK -40°C to +85°C PIN-PACKAGE 68 Thin QFN-EP* (10mm x 10mm x 0.8mm) *EP = Exposed paddle.

SHREF = VDD: Shared reference enabled. SHREF = GND: Shared reference disabled. When sharing the reference, externally connect REFAP and REFBP together to ensure that VREFAP equals VREFBP. Similarly, when sharing the reference, externally connect REFAN to REFBN together to ensure that VREFAN = VREFBN. Internal Reference Voltage Output. The REFOUT output voltage is 2.048V and REFOUT can deliver 1mA. For internal reference operation, connect REFOUT directly to REFIN or use a resistive divider from REFOUT to set the voltage at REFIN. Bypass REFOUT to GND with a ≥0.1µF capacitor. For external reference operation, REFOUT is not required and must be bypassed to GND with a ≥0.1µF capacitor. Single-Ended Reference Analog Input. For internal reference and buffered external reference operation, apply a 0.7V to 2.3V DC reference voltage to REFIN. Bypass REFIN to GND with a 4.7µF capacitor. Within its specified operating voltage, REFIN has a >50MΩ input impedance, and the differential reference voltage (VREF_P - VREF_N) is generated from REFIN. For unbuffered external reference operation, connect REFIN to GND. In this mode REF_P, REF_N, and COM_ are high-impedance inputs that accept the external reference voltages. Exposed Paddle. EP is internally connected to GND.

Pipeline Architecture—Stage Blocks Detailed Description The MAX12527 uses a 10-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. From input to output the total latency is 8 clock cycles. 14 Each pipeline converter stage converts its input voltage to a digital output code. At every stage, except the last, the error between the input voltage and the digital output code is multiplied and passed along to the next pipeline stage. Digital error correction compensates for ADC comparator offsets in each pipeline stage and ensures no missing codes. Figure 2 shows the MAX12527 functional diagram. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Dual, 65Msps, 12-Bit, IF/Baseband ADC MAX12527 CLOCK INAP INAN REFAP COMA REFAN 12-BIT PIPELINE ADC CHANNEL A REFERENCE SYSTEM DIGITAL ERROR CORRECTION DATA FORMAT OUTPUT DRIVERS D0A TO D11A DORA MAX12527 G/T REFIN INTERNAL REFERENCE GENERATOR REFOUT DAV SHREF REFBP COMB REFBN INBP INBN OVDD CHANNEL B REFERENCE SYSTEM 12-BIT PIPELINE ADC DIGITAL ERROR CORRECTION DATA FORMAT OUTPUT DRIVERS D0B TO D11B DORB CLOCK VDD DIFFCLK/SECLK CLOCK CLKP CLKN DIV2 DIV4 CLOCK DIVIDER DUTY-CYCLE EQUALIZER POWER CONTROL AND BIAS CIRCUITS PD GND Figure 2.

Internal T/H Circuit Analog Inputs and Input Track-and-Hold (T/H) Amplifier Figure 3 displays a simplified functional diagram of the input T/H circuit. This input T/H circuit allows for high analog input frequencies of 175MHz and beyond and supports a VDD / 2 common-mode input voltage. The MAX12527 sampling clock controls the switchedcapacitor input T/H architecture (Figure 3) allowing the analog input signals to be stored as charge on the sampling capacitors. These switches are closed (track mode) when the sampling clock is high and open (hold mode) when the sampling clock is low (Figure 4). The analog input signal source must be able to provide the dynamic currents necessary to charge and discharge the sampling capacitors. To avoid signal degradation, these capacitors must be charged to one-half LSB accuracy within one-half of a clock cycle. The analog input of the MAX12527 supports differential or singleended input drive. For optimum performance with differential inputs, balance the input impedance of IN_P and IN_N and set the common-mode voltage to midsupply (VDD / 2). The MAX12527 provides the optimum common-mode voltage of VDD / 2 through the COM output when operating in internal reference mode and buffered external reference mode. This COM output voltage can be used to bias the input network as shown in Figures 9, 10, and 11. Reference Output An internal bandgap reference is the basis for all the internal voltages and bias currents used in the 16 REFERENCE MODE <0.5V Buffered External Reference Mode. An external 0.7V to 2.3V reference voltage is applied to REFIN. VCOM_ = VDD / 2 VREF_P = VDD / 2 + 3/8 x VREFIN VREF_N = VDD / 2 - 3/8 x VREFIN Unbuffered External Reference Mode. REF_P, REF_N, and COM_ are driven by external reference sources. The full-scale analog input range is ±(VREF_P - VREF_N) x 2/3. MAX12527. The power-down logic input (PD) enables and disables the reference circuit. REFOUT has approximately 17kΩ to GND when the MAX12527 is powered down. The reference circuit requires 10ms to power up and settle to its final value when power is applied to the MAX12527 or when PD transitions from high to low. The internal bandgap reference produces a buffered reference voltage of 2.048V ±1% at the REFOUT pin with a ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Connect an external ≥0.1µF bypass capacitor from REFOUT to GND for stability. REFOUT sources up to 1mA and sinks up to 0.1mA for external circuits with a 35mV/mA load regulation. Short-circuit protection limits IREFOUT to a 2.1mA source current when shorted to GND and a 0.24mA sink current when shorted to VDD. Similar to REFOUT, REFIN should be bypassed with a 4.7µF capacitor to GND. Reference Configurations The MAX12527 full-scale analog input range is ±2/3 x VREF with a VDD / 2 ±0.5V common-mode input range. VREF is the voltage difference between REFAP (REFBP) and REFAN (REFBN). The MAX12527 provides three modes of reference operation. The voltage at REFIN (VREFIN) selects the reference operation mode (Table 1). Connect REFOUT to REFIN either with a direct short or through a resistive divider to enter internal reference mode. COM_, REF_P, and REF_N are low-impedance outputs with VCOM_ = VDD / 2, VREFP = VDD / 2 + 3/8 x VREFIN, and VREF_N = VDD / 2 - 3/8 x VREFIN. Bypass REF_P, REF_N, and COM_ each with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND. Bypass REF_P to REF_N with a 10µF capacitor. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Dual, 65Msps, 12-Bit, IF/Baseband ADC For detailed circuit suggestions and how to drive the ADC in buffered/unbuffered external reference mode, see the Applications Information section. Clock Duty-Cycle Equalizer The MAX12527 has an internal clock duty-cycle equalizer, which makes the converter insensitive to the duty cycle of the signal applied to CLKP and CLKN. The converters allow clock duty-cycle variations from 25% to 75% without negatively impacting the dynamic performance. The clock duty-cycle equalizer uses a delay-locked loop (DLL) to create internal timing signals that are duty-cycle independent. Due to this DLL, the MAX12527 requires approximately 100 clock cycles to acquire and lock to new clock frequencies. Clock Input and Clock Control Lines The MAX12527 accepts both differential and singleended clock inputs with a wide 25% to 75% input clock duty cycle. For single-ended clock input operation, connect DIFFCLK/SECLK and CLKN to GND. Apply an external single-ended clock signal to CLKP. To reduce clock jitter, the external single-ended clock must have sharp falling edges. For differential clock input operation, connect DIFFCLK/SECLK to OV DD . Apply an external differential clock signal to CLKP and CLKN. Consider the clock input as an analog input and route it away from any other analog inputs and digital signal lines. CLKP and CLKN enter high impedance when the MAX12527 is powered down (Figure 4). Low clock jitter is required for the specified SNR performance of the MAX12527. The analog inputs are sampled on the falling (rising) edge of CLKP (CLKN), requiring this edge to have the lowest possible jitter. Jitter limits the maximum SNR performance of any ADC according to the following relationship: 1 SNR = 20 × log 2 × π × f × t IN 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 instance, assuming that clock jitter is the only noise source, to obtain the specified 69.8dB of SNR with an input frequency of 175MHz the system must have less than 0.29ps of clock jitter. However, in reality 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 0.14ps to obtain the specified 69.8dB of SNR at 175MHz. Clock-Divider Control Inputs (DIV2, DIV4) The MAX12527 features three different modes of sampling/clock operation (see Table 2). Pulling both control lines low, the clock-divider function is disabled and the converters sample at full clock speed. Pulling DIV4 low and DIV2 high enables the divide-by-two feature, which sets the sampling speed to one-half the selected clock frequency. In divide-by-four mode, the converter sampling speed is set to one-fourth the clock speed of the MAX12527. Divide-by-four mode is achieved by applying a high level to DIV4 and a low level to DIV2. The option to select either one-half or one-fourth of the clock speed for ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 MAX12527 Bypass REFIN and REFOUT to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. The REFIN input impedance is very large (>50MΩ). When driving REFIN through a resistive divider, use resistances ≥10kΩ to avoid loading REFOUT. Buffered external reference mode is virtually identical to the internal reference mode except that the reference source is derived from an external reference and not the MAX12527’s internal bandgap reference. In buffered external reference mode, apply a stable reference voltage source between 0.7V to 2.3V at REFIN. Pins COM_, REF_P, and REF_N are low-impedance outputs with VCOM_ = VDD / 2, VREF_P = VDD / 2 + 3/8 x VREFIN, and VREF_N = VDD / 2 - 3/8 x VREFIN. Bypass REF_P, REF_N, and COM_ each with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND. Bypass REF_P to REF_N with a 10µF capacitor. Connect REFIN to GND to enter unbuffered external reference mode. Connecting REFIN to GND deactivates the on-chip reference buffers for COM_, REF_P, and REF_N. With their buffers deactivated, COM_, REF_P, and REF_N become high-impedance inputs and must be driven with separate, external reference sources. Drive VCOM_ to VDD / 2 ±5%, and drive REF_P and REF_N so VCOM_ = (VREF_P_ + VREF_N_) / 2. The analog input range is ±(V REF_P_ - V REF_N ) x 2/3. Bypass REF_P, REF_N, and COM_ each with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND. Bypass REF_P to REF_N with a 10µF capacitor. For all reference modes, bypass REFOUT with a 0.1µF and REFIN with a 4.7µF capacitor to GND. The MAX12527 also features a shared reference mode, in which the user can achieve better channel-to-channel matching. When sharing the reference (SHREF = VDD), externally connect REFAP and REFBP together to ensure that VREFAP = VREFBP. Similarly, when sharing the reference, externally connect REFAN to REFBN together to ensure that VREFAN = VREFBN. Connect SHREF to GND to disable the shared reference mode of the MAX12527. In this independent reference mode, a better channel-to-channel isolation is achieved. MAX12527 Dual, 65Msps, 12-Bit, IF/Baseband ADC Table 2.

CLKN Data-Valid Output DAV is a single-ended version of the input clock that is compensated to correct for any input clock duty-cycle variations. The MAX12527 output data changes on the falling edge of DAV, and DAV rises once the output data is valid. The falling edge of DAV is synchronized to have a 5.4ns delay from the falling edge of the input clock. Output data at D0A/B–D11A/B and DORA/B are valid from 7ns before the rising edge of DAV to 7ns after the rising edge of DAV. DAV enters high impedance when the MAX12527 is powered down (PD = OV DD ). DAV enters its highimpedance state 10ns after the rising edge of PD and becomes active again 10ns after PD transitions low. DAV is capable of sinking and sourcing 600µA and has three times the driving capabilities of D0A/B–D11A/B and DORA/B. DAV is typically used to latch the MAX12527 output data into an external digital back-end circuit. Keep the capacitive load on DAV as low as possible (<15pF) to avoid large digital currents feeding back into the analog portion of the MAX12527, thereby degrading its dynamic performance.

System Timing Requirements Figure 5 shows the timing relationship between the clock, analog inputs, DAV indicator, DOR_ indicators, and the resulting output data. The analog input is sampled on the falling (rising) edge of CLKP (CLKN) and the resulting data appears at the digital outputs 8 clock cycles later.

When DOR_ is high, the analog input is out of range. When DOR_ is low, the analog input is within range. The valid differential input range is from (V REF_P - V REF_N ) x 2/3 to (V REF_N VREF_P) x 2/3. Signals outside of this valid differential range cause DOR_ to assert high as shown in Table 1. DOR is synchronized with DAV and transitions along with the output data D11–D0. There is an 8 clock-cycle latency in the DOR function as is with the output data (Figure 5). DOR_ is high impedance when the MAX12527 is in power-down (PD = high). DOR_ enters a high-impedance state within 10ns after the rising edge of PD and becomes active 10ns after PD’s falling edge. Digital Output Data and Output Format Selection The MAX12527 provides two 12-bit, parallel, tri-state output buses. D0A/B–D11A/B and DORA/B update on the falling edge of DAV and are valid on the rising edge of DAV. The MAX12527 output data format is either Gray code or two’s complement depending on the logic input G/T. With G/T high, the output data format is Gray code. With G/T low, the output data format is set to two’s complement. See Figure 8 for a binary-to-Gray and Gray-tobinary code conversion example. The following equations, Table 3, Figure 6, and Figure 7 define the relationship between the digital output and the analog input.

Two’s-Complement Transfer Function (G/T = 0) Figure 7. Gray-Code Transfer Function (G/T = 1) The digital outputs D0A/B–D11A/B are high impedance when the MAX12527 is in power-down (PD = 1) mode. D0A/B–D11A/B enter this state 10ns after the rising edge of PD and become active again 10ns after PD transitions low. In power-down mode all internal circuits are off, the analog supply current reduces to less than 50µA, and the digital supply current reduces to 1µA. The following list shows the state of the analog inputs and digital outputs in power-down mode. 1) INAP/B, INAN/B analog inputs are disconnected from the internal input amplifier (Figure 3). Keep the capacitive load on the MAX12527 digital outputs D0A/B–D11A/B as low as possible (<15pF) to avoid large digital currents feeding back into the analog portion of the MAX12527 and degrading its dynamic performance. Adding external digital buffers on the digital outputs helps isolate the MAX12527 from heavy capacitive loads. To improve the dynamic performance of the MAX12527, add 220Ω resistors in series with the digital outputs close to the MAX12527. See the MAX12557 EV kit schematic for guidelines of how to drive the digital outputs through 220Ω series resistors and external digital output buffers. Power-Down Input The MAX12527 has two power modes that are controlled with a power-down digital input (PD). With PD low, the MAX12527 is in its normal operating mode. With PD high, the MAX12527 is in power-down mode. The power-down mode allows the MAX12527 to efficiently use power by transitioning to a low-power state when conversions are not required. Additionally, the MAX12527 parallel output bus goes high-impedance in power-down mode, allowing other devices on the bus to be accessed. 20 2) REFOUT has approximately 17kΩ to GND. 3) REFAP/B, COMA/B, REFAN/B enter a high-impedance state with respect to VDD and GND, but there is an internal 4kΩ resistor between REFAP/B and COMA/B as well as an internal 4kΩ resistor between REFAN/B and COMA/B. 4) D0A–D11A, D0B–D11B, DORA, and DORB enter a high-impedance state. 5) DAV enters a high-impedance state. 6) CLKP, CLKN clock inputs enter a high-impedance state (Figure 4). The wake-up time from power-down mode is dominated by the time required to charge the capacitors at REF_P, REF_N, and COM. In internal reference mode and buffered external reference mode the wake-up time is typically 10ms. When operating in the unbuffered external reference mode the wake-up time is dependent on the external reference drivers. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Dual, 65Msps, 12-Bit, IF/Baseband ADC GRAY-TO-BINARY CODE CONVERSION 1) THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BINARY BIT IS THE SAME AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT GRAY-CODE BIT.

The configuration of Figure 9 is good for frequencies up to Nyquist (fCLK / 2). The circuit of Figure 10 converts a single-ended input signal to fully differential just as Figure 9. However, Figure 10 utilizes an additional transformer to improve the common-mode rejection allowing high-frequency signals beyond the Nyquist frequency. A set of 75Ω and 113Ω termination resistors provide an equivalent 50Ω termination to the signal source. The second set of termination resistors connects to COM_ providing the correct input common-mode voltage. Two 0Ω resistors in series with the analog inputs allow high IF input frequencies. These 0Ω resistors can be replaced with lowvalue resistors to limit the input bandwidth. Applications Information Using Transformer Coupling In general, the MAX12527 provides better SFDR and THD with fully differential input signals than singleended input drive, especially for input frequencies above 125MHz. In differential input mode, even-order harmonics are lower as both inputs are balanced, and each of the ADC inputs only requires half the signal swing compared to single-ended input mode. 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 MAX12527 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 Single-Ended AC-Coupled Input Signal Figure 11 shows an AC-coupled, single-ended input application.

Locate all bypass capacitors as close to the device as possible, preferably on the same side as the ADC, using surface- ______________________________________________________________________________________ Dual, 65Msps, 12-Bit, IF/Baseband ADC 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 parasitic components are balanced equally. Refer to the MAX12557 EV kit data sheet for an example of symmetric input layout. Parameter Definitions Integral Nonlinearity (INL) INL is the deviation of the values on an actual transfer function from a straight line. For the MAX12527, this straight line is between the endpoints of the transfer function, once offset and gain errors have been nullified. INL deviations are measured at every step of the transfer function and the worst-case deviation is reported in the Electrical Characteristics table. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) DNL 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 MAX12527, DNL deviations are measured at every step of the transfer function and the worst-case deviation is reported in the Electrical Characteristics table. Offset Error Offset error is a figure of merit that indicates how well the actual transfer function matches the ideal transfer function at a single point. Ideally, the midscale MAX12527 transition occurs at 0.5 LSB above midscale. The offset error is the amount of deviation between the measured midscale transition point and the ideal midscale transition point. 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. The slope of the actual transfer function is measured between two data points: positive full scale and negative full scale. Ideally, the positive full-scale MAX12527 transition occurs at 1.5 LSBs below positive full scale, and the negative full-scale transition occurs at 0.5 LSB above negative full scale. The gain error is the difference of the measured transition points minus the difference of the ideal transition points. Small-Signal Noise Floor (SSNF) SSNF is the integrated noise and distortion power in the Nyquist band for small-signal inputs. The DC offset is excluded from this noise calculation. For this converter, a small signal is defined as a single tone with an amplitude of -35dBFS. This parameter captures the thermal and quantization noise characteristics of the data converter and can be used to help calculate the overall noise figure of a digital receiver signal path. 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): SNR[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 six harmonics (HD2 through HD7), and the DC offset. SNR = 20 x log (SIGNALRMS / NOISERMS) 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. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 25 MAX12527 mount devices for minimum inductance. Bypass VDD to GND with a 220µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with at least one 10µF, one 4.7µF, and one 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. Bypass OVDD to GND with a 220µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with at least one 10µF, one 4.7µF, and one 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. High-frequency bypassing/decoupling capacitors should be located as close as possible to the converter supply pins. Multilayer boards with ample ground and power planes produce the highest level of signal integrity. All grounds and the exposed backside paddle of the MAX12527 must be connected to the same ground plane. The MAX12527 relies on the exposed backside paddle connection for a low-inductance ground connection. Isolate the ground plane from any noisy digital system ground planes such as a DSP or output buffer ground. MAX12527 Dual, 65Msps, 12-Bit, IF/Baseband ADC 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 V1 where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2 through V7 are the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 7th-order harmonics (HD2 through HD7). 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 IM2 to IM5 intermodulation products to the Nyquist frequency relative to the total input power of the two input tones fIN1 and fIN2. The individual input tone levels are at -7dBFS. The intermodulation products are as follows: 2nd-Order Intermodulation products (IM2): fIN1 = fIN2, fIN2 - fIN1 3rd-Order Intermodulation products (IM3): 2 x fIN1 - fIN2, 2 x fIN2 - fIN1, 2 x fIN1 + fIN2, 2 x fIN2 + fIN1 4th-Order Intermodulation products (IM4): 3 x fIN1 - fIN2, 3 x fIN2 - fIN1, 3 x fIN1 + fIN2, 3 x fIN2 + fIN1, 2 x fIN1 - 2 x fIN2, 2 x fIN1 + 2 x fIN2, 2 x fIN2 - 2 x fIN1 5th-Order Intermodulation products (IM5): 3 x fIN1 - 2 x fIN2, 3 x fIN2 - 2 x fIN1, 3 x fIN1 + 2 x fIN2, 3 x fIN2 + 2 x fIN1, 4 x fIN1 - fIN2, 4 x fIN2 - fIN1, 4 x fIN1 + fIN2, 4 x fIN2 + fIN1 Note that the two-tone intermodulation distortion is measured with respect to a single-carrier amplitude and not the peak-to-average input power of both input tones. 3rd-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 fIN1 and fIN2. The individual input tone levels are at -7dBFS. The 3rdorder intermodulation products are 2 x fIN1 - fIN2, 2 x fIN2 - fIN1, 2 x fIN1 + fIN2, 2 x fIN2 + fIN1. Aperture Jitter Figure 14 shows the aperture jitter (tAJ), which is the sample-to-sample variation in the aperture delay. 26 CLKN CLKP tAD ANALOG INPUT tAJ SAMPLED DATA T/H HOLD TRACK HOLD Figure 14. T/H Aperture Timing 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 14). Full-Power Bandwidth A large -0.2dBFS 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. Output Noise (nOUT) The output noise (nOUT) parameter is similar to thermal plus quantization noise and is an indication of the converter’s overall noise performance. No fundamental input tone is used to test for nOUT. IN_P, IN_N, and COM_ are connected together and 1024k data points are collected. nOUT is computed by taking the RMS value of the collected data points after the mean is removed. Overdrive Recovery Time Overdrive recovery time is the time required for the ADC to recover from an input transient that exceeds the full-scale limits. The MAX12527 specifies overdrive recovery time using an input transient that exceeds the full-scale limits by ±10%. The MAX12527 requires one clock cycle to recover from the overdrive condition. Crosstalk Coupling onto one channel being driven by a (-0.5dBFS) signal when the adjacent interfering channel is driven by a full-scale signal. Measurement includes all spurs resulting from both direct coupling and mixing components. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Dual, 65Msps, 12-Bit, IF/Baseband ADC 63 62 61 60 59 58 D6A D5A D7A D8A D9A D10A D11A DORA OVDD VDD VDD VDD G/T 67 66 65 64 PD 68 SHREF REFOUT TOP VIEW REFIN Pin Configuration 57 56 55 54 53 52 Offset Matching GND 1 51 D4A Like gain matching, offset matching is a figure of merit that indicates how well the offsets between the two channels are matched to each other.
