1.8V, Low-Power, 12-Bit, 170Msps  
ADC for Broadband Applications  
General Description  
Features  
The MAX1213N is a monolithic, 12-bit, 170Msps ana-  
log-to-digital converter (ADC) optimized for outstanding  
dynamic performance at high-IF frequencies beyond  
300MHz. The product operates with conversion rates  
up to 170Msps while consuming only 720mW.  
170Msps Conversion Rate  
Excellent Low-Noise Characteristics  
SNR = 67.2dB at f = 100MHz  
IN  
SNR = 65.2dB at f = 250MHz  
IN  
Excellent Dynamic Range  
At 170Msps and an input frequency up to 100MHz, the  
MAX1213N achieves an 87dBc spurious-free dynamic  
range (SFDR) with excellent 67.2dB signal-to-noise  
ratio (SNR) that remains flat (within 2dB) for input tones  
up to 250MHz. This makes it ideal for wideband appli-  
cations such as communications receivers, cable-head  
end receivers, and power-amplifier predistortion in cel-  
lular base-station transceivers.

On-Chip Track-and-Hold Amplifier  
Internal 1.24V-Bandgap Reference  
The MAX1213N operates from a single 1.8V power sup-  
ply. The analog input is designed for AC-coupled differ-  
ential or single-ended operation. The ADC also features  
a selectable on-chip divide-by-2 clock circuit that  
accepts clock frequencies as high as 340MHz. A low-  
voltage differential signal (LVDS) sampling clock is  
recommended for best performance. The converter pro-  
vides LVDS-compatible digital outputs with data format  
selectable to be either two’s complement or offset binary.

Detailed Description—  
Theory of Operation  
The MAX1213N uses a fully differential pipelined archi-  
tecture that allows for high-speed conversion, opti-  
mized accuracy, and linearity while minimizing power  
consumption.  
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 two’s-complement  
or offset binary output formats with LVDS-compatible  
output levels. See Figure 1 for a more detailed view of  
the MAX1213N architecture.  
Both positive (INP) and negative/complementary analog  
input terminals (INN) are centered around a 0.74V com-  
mon-mode voltage, and accept a differential analog  
input voltage swing of V / 4 each, resulting in a typi-

differential full-scale signal swing. Inputs

and allow a 1.38V

Analog Inputs (INP, INN)  
INP and INN are the fully differential inputs of the  
MAX1213N. Differential inputs usually feature good  
rejection of even-order harmonics, which allows for  
enhanced AC performance as the signals are progress-  
ing through the analog stages. The MAX1213N analog  
inputs are self-biased at a 0.74V common-mode voltage  
P-P  
(Figure 2). Both inputs are self-biased through 900  
resistors, resulting in a typical differential input resis-  
tance of 1.8k. Drive the analog inputs of the  
MAX1213N in AC-coupled configuration to achieve the  
best dynamic performance. See the Transformer-  
Coupled, Differential Analog Input Drive section.

On-Chip Reference Circuit  
The MAX1213N features an internal 1.24V-bandgap refer-  
ence circuit (Figure 3), which, in combination with an  
internal reference-scaling amplifier, determines the FSR  
of the MAX1213N. Bypass REFIO with a 0.1µF capacitor  
to AGND. To compensate for gain errors or increase/de-  
crease the ADC’s FSR, the voltage of this bandgap refer-  
ence 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.

converter’s full scale. To enable the internal reference,  
connect REFADJ to AGND.  
Clock Inputs (CLKP, CLKN)  
Drive the clock inputs of the MAX1213N with an LVDS-  
or LVPECL-compatible clock to achieve the best dynam-  
ic performance. The clock signal source must be of high  
quality and low phase noise to avoid any degradation in  
the noise performance of the ADC. The clock inputs  
(CLKP, CLKN) are internally biased to 1.15V and accept  
AGND  
Figure 4. Simplified Clock Input Architecture  
The MAX1213N also features an internal clock-man-  
agement circuit (duty-cycle equalizer) that ensures 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 20MHz  
clock frequency to allow the device to meet data sheet  
specifications.

Data Clock Outputs (DCLKP, DCLKN)  
Digital Outputs (D0P/N–D11P/N, DCLKP/N,  
ORP/N) and Control Input T/B  
The MAX1213N features a differential clock output,  
which can be used to latch the digital output data with  
an external latch or receiver. Additionally, the clock out-  
put 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  
4.58ns delay time between the rising (falling) edge of  
CLKP (CLKN) and the rising edge of DCLKP (DCLKN).  
See Figure 5 for timing details.  
Digital outputs D0P/N–D11P/N, DCLKP/N, and ORP/N  
are LVDS compatible, and data on D0P/N–D11P/N is  
presented in either binary or two’s-complement format  
(Table 1). The T/B control line is an LVCMOS-compatible  
input, which allows the user to select the desired output  
format. Pulling T/B low outputs data in two’s 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 two’s-complement output format. All LVDS  
outputs provide a typical 0.325V voltage swing around a  
1.2V common-mode voltage, and must be terminated at  
the far end of each transmission line pair (true and com-  
plementary) with 100. Apply a 1.7V to 1.9V voltage  
Divide-by-2 Clock Control (CLKDIV)  
The MAX1213N offers a clock control line (CLKDIV),  
which supports the reduction of clock jitter in a system.  
Connect CLKDIV to OGND to enable the ADC’s internal  
divide-by-2 clock divider. Data is now updated at one-  
half the ADC’s 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  
supply at OV  
to power the LVDS outputs.  
CC  
The MAX1213N 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).  
to OV  
disables the divide-by-2 mode.  
CC  
System Timing Requirements  
Figure 5 shows the relationship between the clock input  
and output, analog input, sampling event, and data out-  
put. The MAX1213N samples on the rising (falling)  
edge of CLKP (CLKN). Output data is valid on the next  
rising (falling) edge of the DCLKP (DCLKN) clock, but  
has an internal latency of 11 clock cycles.  
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.

The MAX1213N 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 ADC’s dynamic range. The pre-  
ferred method of clocking the MAX1213N is differential-  
ly with LVDS- or LVPECL-compatible input levels. The  
fast data transition rates of these logic families minimize  
the clock-input circuitry’s 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 MC100LVEL16 (Figure 7). The  
receiver produces the necessary LVPECL output levels  
to drive the clock inputs of the data converter.

ADC for Broadband Applications  
However, the source impedance combined with the  
Transformer-Coupled, Differential  
Analog Input Drive  
shunt capacitance provided by a PC board and the  
ADC’s parasitic capacitance limit the ADC’s full-power  
input bandwidth.  
The MAX1213N provides the best SFDR and THD with  
fully differential input signals and it is not recommended  
to drive the ADC inputs in single-ended configuration.  
In differential input mode, even-order harmonics are  
usually lower since INP and INN are balanced, and  
each of the ADC inputs only requires half the signal  
swing compared to a single-ended configuration.  
To further enhance THD and SFDR performance at high  
input frequencies (> 100MHz), a second transformer  
(Figure 8) should be placed in series with the single-  
ended-to-differential conversion transformer. This trans-  
former reduces the increase of even-order harmonics  
at high frequencies.  
Wideband RF transformers provide an excellent solu-  
tion to convert a single-ended signal to a fully differen-  
tial signal, required by the MAX1213N to reach its  
optimum dynamic performance. Apply a secondary-  
side termination of a 1:1 transformer (e.g., Mini-Circuit’s  
ADT1-1WT) into two separate 24.9resistors. Higher  
source impedance values can be used at the expense  
of degradation in dynamic performance. This configu-  
ration optimizes THD and SFDR performance of the  
ADC by reducing the effects of transformer parasitics.  
Single-Ended, AC-Coupled Analog Inputs  
Although not recommended, the MAX1213N can be used  
in single-ended mode (Figure 9). AC-couple the analog  
signals to the positive input INP through a 0.1µF capacitor  
terminated with a 49.9resistor to AGND. Terminate the  
negative input INN with a 49.9resistor in series with a  
0.1µF capacitor to AGND. In single-ended mode, the  
input range is limited to approximately half of the FSR of  
the device, and dynamic performance usually degrades.

ADC for Broadband Applications  
Multilayer boards with separated ground and power  
Grounding, Bypassing, and  
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 ADC’s package. The two ground planes  
should be joined at a single point so 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 com-  
mon source ground, resulting in large and undesirable  
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 converter, resulting  
in increased spurious activity, leading to decreased  
noise performance.  
Board Layout Considerations  
The MAX1213N requires board-layout design tech-  
niques suitable for high-speed data converters. This  
ADC provides separate analog and digital power sup-  
plies. The analog and digital supply voltage pins accept  
1.7V to 1.9V input voltage ranges. 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  
network. Isolate analog and digital supplies (AV  
and  
CC  
OV ) where they enter the PC board with separate net-  
CC  
works of ferrite beads and capacitors to their corre-  
sponding grounds (AGND, OGND).  
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  
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.  
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  
MAX1213N. 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.

The MAX1213N is packaged in a 68-pin QFN-EP pack-  
Aperture Delay  
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.  
Aperture delay (t ) is the time defined between the  
AD  
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 sam-  
ples, 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 ana-  
log-to-digital noise is caused by quantization error only  
and results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):  
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 paddle for the MAX1213N.  
The exposed paddle improves thermal and ensures a  
solid ground connection between the ADC and the PC  
board’s analog ground layer.  
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 also contribute to the SNR calculation and  
should be considered when determining the signal-to-  
noise ratio in ADC. The SNR for the MAX1213N is speci-  
fied in decibels (dB), however, SNR can also be  
specified in dBFS. To obtain the SNR in dBFS, simply  
subtract the amplitude of the input tone (this number is  
given in dBFS) at which the SNR is measured from the  
SNR number in dB. For example, an ADC having an  
SNR of 67dB resulting from an input tone with amplitude  
-1dBFS will have an SNR of 67 - (-1) = 68dBFS.  
Considerable care must be taken when routing the digi-  
tal output traces for a high-speed, high-resolution data  
converter. Keep trace lengths at a minimum and place  
minimal capacitive loading (less than 5pF) on any digi-  
tal trace to prevent coupling to sensitive analog sec-  
tions of the ADC. It is recommended running the LVDS  
output traces as differential lines with 100matched  
impedance from the ADC to the LVDS load device.  
Static Parameter Definitions  
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 MAX1213N,  
SINAD is computed from a curve fit.  
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 off-  
set and gain errors have been nullified. The static lineari-  
ty parameters for the MAX1213N are measured using the  
histogram method with a 10MHz input frequency.  
CLKP  
CLKN  
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)  
Differential nonlinearity 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. The  
MAX1213N’s DNL specification is measured with the  
histogram method based on a 10MHz input tone.

The fundamental input tone amplitudes (V and V ) are at  
-7dBFS. The intermodulation products are the amplitudes  
of the output spectrum at the following frequencies:  
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)  
SFDR is the ratio of the RMS amplitude of the carrier  
frequency (maximum signal component) to the RMS  
value of the next-largest noise or harmonic distortion  
component. SFDR is usually measured in dBc with  
respect to the carrier frequency amplitude or in dBFS  
with respect to the ADC’s full-scale range.
