Ultra-Low-Power, High-Dynamic
Performance, 7.5Msps Analog Front End
General Description
Features
o Integrated Dual 8-Bit ADCs and Dual 10-Bit DACs
o Ultra-Low Power
The MAX5863 ultra-low-power, highly integrated analog
front end is ideal for portable communication equipment
such as handsets, PDAs, WLAN, and 3G wireless termi-
nals. The MAX5863 integrates dual 8-bit receive ADCs
and dual 10-bit transmit DACs while providing the high-
est dynamic performance at ultra-low power. The ADCs’
analog I-Q input amplifiers are fully differential and

ously in transceiver mode. The MAX5863 features an
internal 1.024V voltage reference that is stable over the
entire operating power-supply range and temperature
range. The MAX5863 operates on a +2.7V to +3.3V ana-
log power supply and a +1.8V to +3.3V digital I/O power
supply for logic compatibility. The quiescent current is
3.5mA in idle mode and 1µA in shutdown mode. The
MAX5863 is specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C)
temperature range and is available in a 48-pin thin QFN
package.
