Dual 10-Bit, 65Msps, 3V, Low-Power ADC with Internal Reference and Parallel Outputs MAX1182
General Description
The MAX1182 is a 3V, dual 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring fully-differential wideband trackand-hold (T/H) inputs, driving two pipelined, 9-stage ADCs. The MAX1182 is optimized for low-power, highdynamic performance applications in imaging, instrumentation and digital communication applications. This ADC operates from a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply, consuming only 195mW while delivering a typical signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) of 59dB at an input frequency of 20MHz and a sampling rate of 65Msps. The T/H driven input stages incorporate 400MHz (-3dB) input amplifiers. The converters may also be operated with single-ended inputs.
