19-3144; Rev 1; 3/04
Quad, 12-Bit, 65Msps, 1.8V ADC with
Serial LVDS Outputs
General Description
Features
The MAX1127 quad, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) features fully differential inputs, a pipelined
architecture, and digital error correction. This ADC is
optimized for low-power, high-dynamic performance for
medical imaging, communications, and instrumentation
applications. The MAX1127 operates from a 1.7V to
1.9V single supply and consumes only 563mW while
delivering a 69.6dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at a
19.3MHz input frequency. In addition to low operating
power, the MAX1127 features a 675µA power-down
mode for idle periods.
♦ Four ADC Channels with Serial LVDS/SLVS
Outputs
♦ Excellent Dynamic Performance
69.6dB SNR at f = 19.3MHz
IN
92dBc SFDR at f = 19.3MHz
IN
-87dB Channel Isolation
♦ Ultra-Low Power
135mW per Channel (Normal Operation)
1.2mW Total (Shutdown Mode)
♦ Accepts 20% to 80% Clock Duty Cycle
♦ Self-Aligning Data-Clock to Data-Output Interface
♦ Fully Differential Analog Inputs
Differential Input Voltage Range
♦ Internal/External Reference Option
♦ Test Mode for Digital Signal Integrity
An internal 1.24V precision bandgap reference sets the
ADC’s full-scale range. A flexible reference structure
allows the use of an external reference for applications
requiring increased accuracy or a different input volt-
age range.
♦ Wide ±1.4V
P-P
A single-ended clock controls the conversion process.
An internal duty-cycle equalizer allows for wide varia-
tions in input-clock duty cycle. An on-chip phase-
locked loop (PLL) generates the high-speed serial
low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) clock.
♦ LVDS Outputs Support Up to 30in FR-4 Backplane
Connections
♦ Small, 68-Pin QFN with Exposed Paddle
♦ Evaluation Kit Available (MAX1127EVKIT)
The MAX1127 provides serial LVDS outputs for data,
clock, and frame alignment signals. The output data is
presented in two’s complement or binary format.
