GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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. The MAX1213N operates from a single 1.8V power supply. The analog input is designed for AC-coupled differential 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 lowvoltage differential signal (LVDS) sampling clock is recommended for best performance. The converter provides LVDS-compatible digital outputs with data format selectable to be either two’s complement or offset binary. The MAX1213N is available in a 68-pin QFN package with exposed paddle (EP) and is specified over the industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range. See the Pin-Compatible Versions table for a complete selection of 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit high-speed ADCs in th...
