1.8V, 12-Bit, 170Msps ADC for  
Broadband Applications  
General Description  
Features  
The MAX1213 is a monolithic, 12-bit, 170Msps analog-  
to-digital converter (ADC) optimized for outstanding  
dynamic performance at high-IF frequencies up to  
300MHz. The product operates with conversion rates  
up to 170Msps while consuming only 788mW.  
170Msps Conversion Rate  
Low Noise Floor of -68dBFS  
Excellent Low-Noise Characteristics  
SNR = 65.8dB at f = 65MHz  
IN  
SNR = 64.5dB at f = 250MHz  
IN  
At 170Msps and an input frequency up to 250MHz, the  
MAX1213 achieves a spurious-free dynamic range  
(SFDR) of 72.9dBc. Its excellent signal-to-noise ratio  
(SNR) of 65.8dB at 10MHz remains flat (within 2dB) for  
input tones up to 250MHz. This ADC yields an excellent  
low-noise floor of -68dBFS, which makes it ideal for  
wideband applications such as cable head-end  
receivers and power-amplifier predistortion in cellular  
base-station transceivers.  
Excellent Dynamic Range  
SFDR = 76.5dBc at f = 65MHz

SFDR = 72.9dBc at f = 250MHz

SAMPLE  
The MAX1213 requires a single 1.8V supply. The analog  
input is designed for either differential or single-ended  
operation and can be AC- or DC-coupled. The ADC also  
features a selectable on-chip divide-by-2 clock circuit,  
which allows the user to apply clock frequencies as high  
as 340MHz. This helps to reduce the phase noise of the  
input clock source. A low-voltage differential signal  
(LVDS) sampling clock is recommended for best perfor-  
mance. The converter’s digital outputs are LVDS com-  
patible and the data format can be selected to be either  
two’s complement or offset binary.

mized accuracy, and linearity while minimizing power  
consumption and die size.

COMMON-MODE  
VOLTAGE (1.365V)  
INP  
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 out-  
put 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. The result is a 12-bit parallel  
digital output word in user-selectable twos complement  
or offset binary output formats with LVDS-compatible  
output levels. See Figure 1 for a more detailed view of  
the MAX1213 architecture.

Analog Inputs (INP, INN)  
INP and INN are the fully differential inputs of the  
MAX1213. Differential inputs usually feature good rejec-  
tion of even-order harmonics, which allows for  
enhanced AC performance as the signals are progress-  
ing through the analog stages. The MAX1213 analog  
inputs are self-biased at a common-mode voltage of  
1.365V and allow a differential input voltage swing of  
through 2kresistors, resulting in a typical differential  
input resistance of 4k. It is recommended to drive the  
analog inputs of the MAX1213 in AC-coupled configu-  
ration to achieve best dynamic performance. See the  
Transformer-Coupled, Differential Analog Input Drive  
section for a detailed discussion of this configuration.

1.8V, 12-Bit, 170Msps ADC for  
Broadband Applications  
The MAX1213 also features an internal clock-manage-  
ment circuit (duty-cycle equalizer) that ensures that the  
clock signal applied to inputs CLKP and CLKN is  
processed to provide a 50% duty-cycle clock signal  
that desensitizes the performance of the converter to  
variations in the duty cycle of the input clock source.  
Note that the clock duty-cycle equalizer cannot be  
turned off externally and requires a minimum clock fre-  
quency of >20MHz to work appropriately and accord-  
ing to data sheet specifications.  
On-Chip Reference Circuit  
The MAX1213 features an internal 1.23V bandgap refer-  
ence circuit (Figure 3), which in combination with an inter-  
nal reference-scaling amplifier determines the FSR of the  
MAX1213. Bypass REFIO with a 0.1µF capacitor to  
AGND. To compensate for gain errors or increase the  
ADCs FSR, the voltage of this bandgap reference can be  
indirectly adjusted by adding an external resistor (e.g.,  
100ktrim potentiometer) between REFADJ and AGND  
or REFADJ and REFIO. See the Applications Information  
section for a detailed description of this process.  
Data Clock Outputs (DCLKP, DCLKN)  
The MAX1213 features a differential clock output, which  
can be used to latch the digital output data with an  
external latch or receiver. Additionally, the clock output  
can be used to synchronize external devices (e.g.,  
FPGAs) to the ADC. DCLKP and DCLKN are differential  
outputs with LVDS-compatible voltage levels. There is a  
4.95ns delay time between the rising (falling) edge of  
CLKP (CLKN) and the rising edge of DCLKP (DCLKN).  
See Figure 4 for timing details.  
To disable the internal reference, connect REFADJ to  
AV . In this configuration, an external, stable refer-  
CC  
ence must be applied to REFIO to set the converters  
full scale. To enable the internal reference, connect  
REFADJ to AGND.  
Clock Inputs (CLKP, CLKN)  
Designed for a differential LVDS clock input drive, it is  
recommended to drive the clock inputs of the MAX1213  
with an LVDS- or LVPECL-compatible clock to achieve  
the best dynamic performance. The clock signal source  
must be a high-quality, low-phase noise with fast edge  
rates to avoid any degradation in the noise performance  
of the ADC. The clock inputs (CLKP, CLKN) are internal-  
ly biased to 1.15V, accept a typical differential signal  
Divide-by-2 Clock Control (CLKDIV)  
The MAX1213 offers a clock control line (CLKDIV),  
which supports the reduction of clock jitter in a system.  
Connect CLKDIV to OGND to enable the ADCs internal  
divide-by-2 clock divider. Data is now updated at one-  
half the ADCs input clock rate. CLKDIV has an internal  
pulldown resistor and can be left open for applications  
that require this divide-by-2 mode. Connecting CLKDIV

not recommended, the clock inputs also accept a single-  
ended input signal.

System Timing Requirements  
Figure 4 depicts the relationship between the clock  
input and output, analog input, sampling event, and  
data output. The MAX1213 samples on the rising

the next rising (falling) edge of the DCLKP (DCLKN)  
clock, but has an internal latency of 11 clock cycles.  
of 0.325V around a common-mode voltage of roughly  
1.15V, and must be differentially terminated at the far  
end of each transmission line pair (true and comple-  
mentary) with 100. The LVDS outputs are powered  
from a separate power supply, which can be operated  
between 1.7V and 1.9V.  
The MAX1213 offers an additional differential output  
pair (ORP, ORN) to flag out-of-range conditions, where  
out-of-range is above positive or below negative full  
scale. An out-of-range condition is identified with ORP  
(ORN) transitioning high (low).  
Digital Outputs (D0P/N–D11P/N, DCLKP/N,  
ORP/N) and Control Input T/B  
Digital outputs D0P/ND11P/N, DCLKP/N, and ORP/N  
are LVDS compatible, and data on D0P/ND11P/N is  
presented in either binary or twos-complement format  
(Table 1). The T/B control line is an LVCMOS-compati-  
ble input, which allows the user to select the desired  
output format. Pulling T/B low outputs data in twos  
complement and pulling it high presents data in offset  
binary format on the 12-bit parallel bus. T/B has an  
internal pulldown resistor and may be left unconnected  
in applications using only twos complement output for-  
Note: Although a differential LVDS output architecture  
reduces single-ended transients to the supply and  
ground planes, capacitive loading on the digital out-  
puts should still be kept as low as possible. Using  
LVDS buffers on the digital outputs of the ADC when  
driving larger loads may improve overall performance  
and reduce system-timing constraints.

Figure 6a: Circuit Suggestions to Adjust the ADC’s Full-Scale  
Range  
FS VOLTAGE vs. FS ADJUST RESISTOR  
The MAX1213 supports a full-scale adjustment range of  
10% ( 5%). To decrease the full-scale signal range, an  
external resistor value ranging from 13kto 1Mmay  
be added between REFADJ and AGND. A similar  
approach can be taken to increase the ADCs full-scale  
range (FSR). Adding a variable resistor, potentiometer,  
or predetermined resistor value between REFADJ and  
REFIO increases the FSR of the data converter. Figure  
6a shows the two possible configurations and their  
impact on the overall full-scale range adjustment of the  
MAX1213. Do not use resistor values of less than 13kΩ  
to avoid instability of the internal gain regulation loop  
for the bandgap reference. See Figure 6b for the  
results of the adjustment range for a selection of resis-  
tors used to trim the full-scale range of the MAX1213.

ferential signal, required by the MAX1213 to reach its  
optimum dynamic performance.  
The MAX1213 dynamic performance depends on the  
use of a very clean clock source. The phase noise floor  
of the clock source has a negative impact on the SNR  
performance. Spurious signals on the clock signal  
source also affect the ADCs dynamic range. The pre-  
ferred method of clocking the MAX1213 is differentially  
with LVDS- or LVPECL-compatible input levels. The fast  
data transition rates of these logic families minimize the  
clock-input circuitrys transition uncertainty, thereby  
improving the SNR performance. To accomplish this, a  
50reverse-terminated clock signal source with low  
phase noise is AC-coupled into a fast differential  
receiver such as the MC100LVEL16D (Figure 7). The  
receiver produces the necessary LVPECL output levels  
to drive the clock inputs of the data converter.  
A secondary-side termination of a 1:1 transformer (e.g.,  
Mini-Circuits ADT1-1WT) into two separate 24.91%  
resistors (use tight resistor tolerances to minimize  
effects of imbalance; 0.5% would be an ideal choice)  
placed between top/bottom and center tap of the trans-  
former is recommended to maximize the ADCs dynam-  
ic range. This configuration optimizes THD and SFDR  
performance of the ADC by reducing the effects of  
transformer parasitics. However, the source imped-  
ance combined with the shunt capacitance provided  
by a PC board and the ADCs parasitic capacitance  
limit the ADCs full-power input bandwidth to approxi-  
mately 600MHz.

high-input frequencies (>100MHz), a second trans-  
former (Figure 8) should be placed in series with the  
single-ended-to-differential conversion transformer.  
This transformer reduces the increase of even-order  
harmonics at high frequencies.  
The MAX1213 requires board layout design techniques  
suitable for high-speed data converters. This ADC pro-  
vides separate analog and digital power supplies. The  
analog and digital supply voltage pins accept input  
voltage ranges of 1.7V to 1.9V. Although both supply  
types can be combined and supplied from one source,  
it is recommended to use separate sources to cut down  
on performance degradation caused by digital switch-  
ing currents, which can couple into the analog supply  
Single-Ended, AC-Coupled Analog Inputs  
Although not recommended, the MAX1213 can be used  
in single-ended mode (Figure 9). Analog signals can be  
AC-coupled to the positive input INP through a 0.1µF  
capacitor and terminated with a 49.9resistor to AGND.  
The negative input should be reverse terminated with

1.8V, 12-Bit, 170Msps ADC for  
Broadband Applications  
To achieve optimum performance, provide each supply  
with a separate network of a 47µF tantalum capacitor  
and parallel combinations of 10µF and 1µF ceramic  
capacitors. Additionally, the ADC requires each supply  
pin to be bypassed with separate 0.1µF ceramic  
capacitors (Figure 10). Locate these capacitors directly  
at the ADC supply pins or as close as possible to the  
MAX1213. Choose surface-mount capacitors, whose  
preferred location should be on the same side as the  
converter to save space and minimize the inductance.  
If close placement on the same side is not possible,  
these bypassing capacitors may be routed through  
vias to the bottom side of the PC board.  
input, segregate the digital output bus carefully from the  
analog input circuitry. To further minimize the effects of  
digital noise coupling, ground return vias can be posi-  
tioned throughout the layout to divert digital switching  
currents away from the sensitive analog sections of the  
ADC. This approach does not require split ground  
planes, but can be accomplished by placing substantial  
ground connections between the analog front end and  
the digital outputs.  
The MAX1213 is packaged in a 68-pin QFN-EP pack-  
age (package code: G6800-4), providing greater  
design flexibility, increased thermal dissipation, and  
optimized AC performance of the ADC. The exposed  
paddle (EP) must be soldered down to AGND.  
Multilayer boards with separated ground and power  
planes produce the highest level of signal integrity.  
Consider the use of a split ground plane arranged to  
match the physical location of analog and digital  
ground on the ADCs package. The two ground planes  
should be joined at a single point such that the noisy  
digital ground currents do not interfere with the analog  
ground plane. The dynamic currents that may need to  
travel long distances before they are recombined at a  
common-source ground, resulting in large and undesir-  
able ground loops, are a major concern with this  
approach. Ground loops can degrade the input noise  
by coupling back to the analog front end of the convert-  
er, resulting in increased spurious activity, leading to  
decreased noise performance.  
In this package, the data converter die is attached to  
an EP lead frame with the back of this frame exposed  
at the package bottom surface, facing the PC board  
side of the package. This allows a solid attachment of  
the package to the board with standard infrared (IR)  
flow soldering techniques.  
Thermal efficiency is one of the factors for selecting a  
package with an exposed pad for the MAX1213. The  
exposed pad improves thermal and ensures a solid  
ground connection between the DAC and the PC  
boards analog ground layer.  
Considerable care must be taken when routing the digi-  
tal output traces for a high-speed, high-resolution data  
converter. It is recommended running the LVDS output  
traces as differential lines with 100matched imped-  
ance from the ADC to the LVDS load device.  
Alternatively, all ground pins could share the same  
ground plane, if the ground plane is sufficiently isolated  
from any noisy, digital systems ground. To minimize the  
coupling of the digital output signals from the analog

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. However, the  
static linearity parameters for the MAX1213 are mea-  
sured using the histogram method with an input fre-  
quency of 10MHz.  
SNR  
= 6.02 x N + 1.76  
[max]  
In reality, other noise sources such as thermal noise,  
clock jitter, signal phase noise, and transfer function  
nonlinearities are also contributing to the SNR calcula-  
tion and should be considered when determining the  
signal-to-noise ratio in ADC.  
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion (SINAD)  
SINAD is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS sig-  
nal to all spectral components excluding the fundamen-  
tal and the DC offset. In the case of the MAX1213,  
SINAD is computed from a curve fit.  
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)  
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between an  
actual step width and the ideal value of 1LSB. A DNL  
error specification of less than 1LSB guarantees no  
missing codes and a monotonic transfer function. The  
MAX1213s DNL specification is measured with the his-  
togram method based on a 10MHz input tone.  
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)  
SFDR is the ratio of RMS amplitude of the carrier fre-  
quency (maximum signal component) to the RMS value  
of the next-largest noise or harmonic distortion compo-  
nent. SFDR is usually measured in dBc with respect to  
the carrier frequency amplitude or in dBFS with respect  
to the ADCs full-scale range.

Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)  
IMD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the intermodulation  
products to the RMS sum of the two fundamental input  
tones. This is expressed as:  
sample-to-sample variation in the aperture delay.  
Aperture Delay  
Aperture delay (t ) is the time defined between the

rising edge of the sampling clock and the instant when  
an actual sample is taken (Figure 11).

Full-Power Bandwidth  
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 quantiza-  
A large -1dBFS 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. The -3dB-point is defined as  
full-power input bandwidth frequency of the ADC.

ing a noise-like signal, which covers a relatively broad  
bandwidth. To test the MAX1213 for NPR, a noise-like”  
signal is passed through a high-order bandpass filter to  
produce an approximately square spectral pedestal of  
noise with about the same bandwidth as the signals  
being simulated. Following the bandpass filter, the signal  
is passed through a narrow band-reject filter to produce  
a deep notch at the center of the noise pedestal. Finally,  
this signal is applied to the MAX1213 and its digitized  
results analyzed. The RMS noise power of the signal  
inside the notch is compared with the RMS noise level  
outside the notch using an FFT. Note that the NPR test  
requires sufficiently long data records to guarantee a  
suitable number of samples inside the notch. NPR for the  
MAX1213 was determined for 50MHz noise bandwidth  
signals, simulating a typical cable signal environment  
(see the Typical Operating Characteristics for test details  
and results) with a notch frequency of 28.8MHz.
