MAX1214N

19-3866; Rev 0; 4/06 KIT ATION EVALU E L B A AVAIL 1.8V, Low-Power, 12-Bit, 210Msps ADC for Broadband Applications General Description Features ♦ 210Msps Conversion Rate ♦ Excellent Low-Noise Characteristics SNR = 67dB at fIN = 100MHz SNR = 65dB at fIN = 250MHz ♦ Excellent Dynamic Range SFDR = 81.3dBc at fIN = 100MHz SFDR = 84.9dBc at fIN = 250MHz ♦ Single 1.8V Supply ♦ 799mW Power Dissipation at fSAMPLE = 210Msps and fIN = 100MHz ♦ On-Chip Track-and-Hold Amplifier ♦ Internal 1.24V-Bandgap Reference ♦ On-Chip Selectable Divide-by-2 Clock Input ♦ LVDS Digital Outputs with Data Clock Output ♦ MAX1214NEVKIT Available MAX1214N The MAX1214N is a monolithic, 12-bit, 210Msps analog-to-digital converter (ADC) optimized for outstanding dynamic performance at high-IF frequencies beyond 300MHz. The product operates with conversion rates up to 210Msps while consuming only 799mW. At 210Msps and an input frequency up to 100MHz, the MAX1214N achieves an 81.3dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) with excellent 67dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that remains flat (within 2dB) for input tones up to 250MHz. This makes it ideal for wideband applications such as communications receivers, cable-head end receivers, and power-amplifier predistortion in cellular base-station transceivers. The MAX1214N 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...
