Direct IF Sampling Up to 400MHz  
The MAX12555 is a 3.3V, 14-bit, 95Msps analog-to-digital  
converter (ADC) featuring a fully differential wideband  
track-and-hold (T/H) input amplifier, driving a low-noise  
internal quantizer. The analog input stage accepts single-  
ended or differential signals. The MAX12555 is optimized  
for high dynamic performance, low power, and small  
size. Excellent dynamic performance is maintained from  
baseband to input frequencies of 175MHz and beyond,  
ma king the MAX12555 id e a l for inte rme d ia te -  
frequency (IF) sampling applications.

3.3V Low-Power Operation  
465mW (Single-Ended Clock Mode)  
497mW (Differential Clock Mode)  
300µW (Power-Down Mode)  
Powered from a single 3.3V supply, the MAX12555 con-  
sumes only 497mW while delivering a typical 72.1dB  
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance at a 175MHz  
input frequency. In addition to low operating power, the  
MAX12555 features a 300µW power-down mode to  
conserve power during idle periods.  
Fully Differential or Single-Ended Analog Input  
Adjustable Full-Scale Analog Input Range  
±0.35V to ±1.10V  
Common-Mode Reference  
A flexible reference structure allows the MAX12555 to use  
the internal 2.048V bandgap reference or accept an  
externally applied reference. The reference structure  
allows the full-scale analog input range to be adjusted  
from ±0.35V to ±1.10V. The MAX12555 provides a com-  
mon-mode reference to simplify design and reduce exter-  
nal component count in differential analog input circuits.  
CMOS-Compatible Outputs in Two’s Complement  
or Gray Code  
Data-Valid Indicator Simplifies Digital Interface  
Data Out-of-Range Indicator  
Miniature, 6mm x 6mm x 0.8mm 40-Pin Thin QFN  
The MAX12555 supports either a single-ended or differ-  
ential input clock. Wide variations in the clock duty  
cycle are compensated with the ADCs internal duty-  
cycle equalizer (DCE).  
Package with Exposed Paddle  
Evaluation Kit Available (Order MAX12555EVKIT)  
ADC conversion results are available through a 14-bit,  
parallel, CMOS-compatible output bus. The digital out-  
put format is pin selectable to be either twos comple-  
ment or Gray code. A data-valid indicator eliminates  
external components that are normally required for reli-  
able digital interfacing. A separate digital power input  
a c c e p ts a wid e 1.7V to 3.6V s up p ly, a llowing the  
MAX12555 to interface with various logic levels.

Low clock jitter is required for the specified SNR perfor-  
ma nc e of the MAX12555. Ana log inp ut s a mp ling  
occurs on the falling edge of the clock signal, requiring  
this edge to have the lowest possible jitter. Jitter limits  
the maximum SNR performance of any ADC according  
to the following relationship:

Conne c t DCE hig h to e na b le the c loc k d uty-c yc le  
equalizer (DCE = OV or V ). Connect DCE low to  
disable the clock duty-cycle equalizer (DCE = GND).  
With the c loc k d uty-c yc le e q ua lize r e na b le d , the  
MAX12555 is insensitive to the duty cycle of the signal  
applied to CLKP and CLKN. Duty cycles from 35% to  
65% are acceptable with the clock duty-cycle equalizer  
enabled.

where f represents the analog input frequency and t

is the total system clock jitter. Clock jitter is especially  
critical for undersampling applications. For example,  
assuming that clock jitter is the only noise source, to  
obtain the specified 72.1dB of SNR with a 175MHz  
input frequency, the system must have less than 0.23ps  
of clock jitter. In actuality, there are other noise sources  
such as thermal noise and quantization noise that con-  
tribute to the system noise, requiring the clock jitter to  
be less than 0.14ps to obtain the specified 72.1dB of  
SNR at 175MHz.  
The clock duty-cycle equalizer uses a delay-locked  
loop (DLL) to create internal timing signals that are  
d uty-c yc le ind e p e nd e nt. Due to this DLL, the  
MAX12555 requires approximately 100 clock cycles to  
acquire and lock to new clock frequencies.  
Although not recommended, disabling the clock duty-  
cycle equalizer reduces the analog supply current by  
1.6mA. With the clock duty-cycle equalizer disabled, the  
MAX12555s dynamic performance varies depending on  
the duty cycle of the signal applied to CLKP and CLKN.

The DAV indicator is synchronized with the digital out-

version clock (CLKP-CLKN).

Digital Output Data (D13–D0), Output Format (G/T)  
The MAX12555 provides a 14-bit, parallel, tri-state out-  
put bus. D13–D0 and DOR update on the falling edge  
of DAV and are valid on the rising edge of DAV.  
The MAX12555 output data format is either Gray code  
or twos 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 twos comple-  
ment. See Figure 9 for a binary-to-Gray and Gray-to-  
binary code-conversion example.  
P o w e r-Do w n In p u t (P D)  
The MAX12555 has two power modes that are con-  
trolled with the power-down digital input (PD). With PD  
low, the MAX12555 is in normal operating mode. With  
PD high, the MAX12555 is in power-down mode.  
The following equations, Table 2, Figure 7, and Figure 8  
define the relationship between the digital output and  
the analog input:  
The power-down mode allows the MAX12555 to effi-  
ciently use power by transitioning to a low-power state  
when conversions are not required. Additionally, the  
MAX12555 parallel output bus is high impedance in  
power-down mode, allowing other devices on the bus  
to be accessed.

In general, the MAX12555 provides better SFDR and  
THD performance with fully differential input signals as  
opposed to single-ended input drive. In differential  
input mode, even-order harmonics are lower as both  
inputs are balanced, and each of the ADC inputs only  
re quire s ha lf the signa l swing c ompa re d to single -  
ended input mode.  
• INP, INN analog inputs are disconnected from the  
internal input amplifier (Figure 3).  
• REFOUT has approximately 17kto GND.  
• REFP, COM, REFN go high impedance with respect  
to V and GND, but there is an internal 4kresistor

An RF transformer (Figure 10) provides an excellent  
solution to convert a single-ended input source signal  
to a fully differential signal, required by the MAX12555  
for optimum performance. Connecting the center tap of  
between REFP and COM, as well as an internal 4kΩ  
resistor between REFN and COM.  
• D13–D0, DOR, and DAV go high impedance.  
• CLKP, CLKN go high impedance (Figure 5).

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  
overall distortion. The configuration of Figure 10 is good  
The wake-up time from power-down mode is dominat-  
ed by the time required to charge the capacitors at  
REFP, REFN, and COM. In internal reference mode and  
buffered external reference mode, the wake-up time is  
typically 10ms with the recommended capacitor array  
(Figure 13). When operating in unbuffered external ref-  
erence mode, the wake-up time is dependent on the  
external reference drivers.

The circuit of Figure 11 converts a single-ended input  
signal to fully differential just as Figure 10. However,  
Figure 11 utilizes an additional transformer to improve

Figure 13 uses the MAX6029EUK21 precision 2.048V  
reference as a common reference for multiple convert-

a one-pole 10Hz lowpass filter to the MAX4230. The  
MAX4230 buffers the 2.048V reference and provides  
additional 10Hz lowpass filtering before its output is  
applied to the REFIN input of the MAX12555.

LSBs below positive full scale, and the negative full-

lation. For this converter, a small signal is defined as a  
single tone with an amplitude less than -35dBFS. This  
parameter captures the thermal and quantization noise  
characteristics of the converter and is used to help cal-  
culate the overall noise figure of a receive channel. Go  
to www.maxim-ic.com for application notes on thermal

Route high-speed digital signal traces away from the  
sensitive analog traces. Keep all signal lines short and  
free of 90° turns.

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-  
tion error only and results directly from the ADCs reso-  
lution (N bits):

Integral nonlinearity is the deviation of the values on an  
actual transfer function from a straight line. For the  
MAX12555, this straight line is between the end points  
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 devia-

In reality, there are other noise sources besides quanti-

To t a l Ha rm o n ic Dis t o rt io n (THD)  
THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the first six harmon-  
ics of the input signal to the fundamental itself. This is  
expressed as:

Overdrive recovery time is the time required for the  
ADC to recover from an input transient that exceeds the  
full-scale limits. The MAX12555 specifies overdrive  
recovery time using an input transient that exceeds the  
full-scale limits by ±10%.
