500Msps, 8-Bit ADC with Track/Hold
_______________General Description
The MAX101A ECL-compatible, 500Msps, 8-bit analogto-digital converter (ADC) allows accurate digitizing of analog signals from DC to 250MHz (Nyquist frequency). Dual monolithic converters, driven by the track/hold (T/H), operate on opposite clock edges (time interleaved). Designed with Maxim’s proprietary advanced bipolar processes, the MAX101A contains a high-performance T/H amplifier and two quantizers in an 84-pin ceramic flat pack. The innovative design of the internal T/H ensures an exceptionally wide 1.2GHz input bandwidth and aperture delay uncertainty of less than 2ps, resulting in a high 7.0 effective bits at the Nyquist frequency.
