19-1003; Rev 4; 9/09 KIT ATION EVALU E L B A AVAIL 1.8V, 12-Bit, 170Msps ADC for Broadband Applications The MAX1213 is a monolithic, 12-bit, 170Msps analogto-digital converter (ADC) optimized for outstanding dynamic performance at high-IF frequencies up to 300MHz. The product operates with conversion rates up to 170Msps while consuming only 788mW. At 170Msps and an input frequency up to 250MHz, the MAX1213 achieves a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 72.9dBc. Its excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 66.2dB at 10MHz remains flat (within 2dB) for input tones up to 250MHz. This ADC yields an excellent low-noise floor of -68dBFS, which makes it ideal for wideband applications such as cable head-end receivers and power-amplifier predistortion in cellular base-station transceivers. The MAX1213 requires a single 1.8V supply. The analog input is designed for either differential or single-ended operation and can be AC- or DC-coupled. The ADC also features a selectable on-chip divide-by-2 clock circuit, which allows the user to apply clock frequencies as high as 340MHz. This helps to reduce the phase noise of the input clock source. A low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) sampling clock is recommended for best performance. The converter's digital outputs are LVDS compatible and the data format can be selected to be either two's complement or offset binary. The MAX1213 is available in a 68-pin QFN package with exposed paddle (EP) and is specified over the industrial (-40C to +85C) temperature range. See the Pin-Compatible Versions table for a complete selection of 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit high-speed ADCs in this family (with and without input buffers).

The MAX1213 analog inputs are self-biased at a common-mode voltage of 1.365V and allow a differential input voltage swing of 1.454V P-P (Figure 2). Both inputs are self-biased 10 2.2k TO COMMON MODE TO COMMON MODE AGND INN +VFS / 4 COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE (1.365V) VFS / 2 VFS / 2 COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE (1.365V) -VFS / 4 INP +VFS / 4 Each pipeline converter stage converts its input voltage to a digital output code. At every stage, except the last, the error between the input voltage and the digital output code is multiplied and passed along to the next pipeline stage. Digital error correction compensates for ADC comparator offsets in each pipeline stage and ensures no missing codes. The result is a 12-bit parallel digital output word in user-selectable two's complement or offset binary output formats with LVDS-compatible output levels. See Figure 1 for a more detailed view of the MAX1213 architecture. 2.2k -VFS / 4 Both positive (INP) and negative/complementary analog input terminals (INN) are centered around a common-mode voltage of 1.365V, and accept a differential analog input voltage swing of VFS / 4 each, resulting in a typical differential full-scale signal swing of 1.454VP-P. Inputs INP and INN are buffered prior to entering each T/H stage and are sampled when the differential sampling clock signal transitions high. INN INP 1.454VP-P DIFFERENTIAL FSR The MAX1213 uses a fully differential pipelined architecture that allows for high-speed conversion, optimized accuracy, and linearity while minimizing power consumption and die size. AVCC Figure 2. Simplified Analog Input Architecture and Allowable Input Voltage Range through 2k resistors, resulting in a typical differential input resistance of 4k. It is recommended to drive the analog inputs of the MAX1213 in AC-coupled configuration to achieve best dynamic performance. See the Transformer-Coupled, Differential Analog Input Drive section for a detailed discussion of this configuration. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 1.8V, 12-Bit, 170Msps ADC for Broadband Applications The MAX1213 also features an internal clock-management circuit (duty-cycle equalizer) that ensures that the clock signal applied to inputs CLKP and CLKN is processed to provide a 50% duty-cycle clock signal that desensitizes the performance of the converter to variations in the duty cycle of the input clock source. Note that the clock duty-cycle equalizer cannot be turned off externally and requires a minimum clock frequency of > 20MHz to work appropriately and according to data sheet specifications. Data Clock Outputs (DCLKP, DCLKN) The MAX1213 features a differential clock output, which can be used to latch the digital output data with an external latch or receiver. Additionally, the clock output can be used to synchronize external devices (e.g., FPGAs) to the ADC. DCLKP and DCLKN are differential outputs with LVDS-compatible voltage levels. There is a 4.95ns delay time between the rising (falling) edge of CLKP (CLKN) and the rising edge of DCLKP (DCLKN). See Figure 4 for timing details. Clock Inputs (CLKP, CLKN) Designed for a differential LVDS clock input drive, it is recommended to drive the clock inputs of the MAX1213 with an LVDS- or LVPECL-compatible clock to achieve the best dynamic performance. The clock signal source must be a high-quality, low-phase noise with fast edge rates to avoid any degradation in the noise performance of the ADC. The clock inputs (CLKP, CLKN) are internally biased to 1.15V, accept a typical differential signal swing of 0.5VP-P, and are usually driven in AC-coupled configuration. See the Differential, AC-Coupled, LVPECL-Compatible Clock Input section for more circuit details on how to drive CLKP and CLKN appropriately. Although not recommended, the clock inputs also accept a single-ended input signal. Divide-by-2 Clock Control (CLKDIV) The MAX1213 offers a clock control line (CLKDIV), which supports the reduction of clock jitter in a system. Connect CLKDIV to OGND to enable the ADC's internal divide-by-2 clock divider. Data is now updated at onehalf the ADC's input clock rate. CLKDIV has an internal pulldown resistor and can be left open for applications that require this divide-by-2 mode. Connecting CLKDIV to OVCC disables the divide-by-2 mode.

Simplified Reference Architecture ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 MAX1213 On-Chip Reference Circuit The MAX1213 features an internal 1.23V bandgap reference circuit (Figure 3), which in combination with an internal reference-scaling amplifier determines the FSR of the MAX1213. Bypass REFIO with a 0.1F capacitor to AGND. To compensate for gain errors or increase the ADC's FSR, the voltage of this bandgap reference can be indirectly adjusted by adding an external resistor (e.g., 100k trim potentiometer) between REFADJ and AGND or REFADJ and REFIO. See the Applications Information section for a detailed description of this process. To disable the internal reference, connect REFADJ to AVCC. In this configuration, an external, stable reference must be applied to REFIO to set the converter's full scale. To enable the internal reference, connect REFADJ to AGND. MAX1213 1.8V, 12-Bit, 170Msps ADC for Broadband Applications System Timing Requirements Figure 4 depicts the relationship between the clock input and output, analog input, sampling event, and data output. The MAX1213 samples on the rising (falling) edge of CLKP (CLKN). Output data is valid on the next rising (falling) edge of the DCLKP (DCLKN) clock, but has an internal latency of 11 clock cycles. Digital Outputs (D0P/N-D11P/N, DCLKP/N, ORP/N) and Control Input T/B Digital outputs D0P/N-D11P/N, DCLKP/N, and ORP/N are LVDS compatible, and data on D0P/N-D11P/N is presented in either binary or two's-complement format (Table 1). The T/B control line is an LVCMOS-compatible input, which allows the user to select the desired output format. Pulling T/B low outputs data in two's complement and pulling it high presents data in offset binary format on the 12-bit parallel bus. T/B has an internal pulldown resistor and may be left unconnected in applications using only two's complement output for- SAMPLING EVENT SAMPLING EVENT mat. All LVDS outputs provide a typical voltage swing of 0.325V around a common-mode voltage of roughly 1.15V, and must be differentially terminated at the far end of each transmission line pair (true and complementary) with 100. The LVDS outputs are powered from a separate power supply, which can be operated between 1.7V and 1.9V. The MAX1213 offers an additional differential output pair (ORP, ORN) to flag out-of-range conditions, where out-of-range is above positive or below negative full scale. An out-of-range condition is identified with ORP (ORN) transitioning high (low). Note: Although a differential LVDS output architecture reduces single-ended transients to the supply and ground planes, capacitive loading on the digital outputs should still be kept as low as possible. Using LVDS buffers on the digital outputs of the ADC when driving larger loads may improve overall performance and reduce system-timing constraints.

To decrease the full-scale signal range, an external resistor value ranging from 13k to 1M may be added between REFADJ and AGND. A similar approach can be taken to increase the ADC's full-scale range (FSR). Adding a variable resistor, potentiometer, or predetermined resistor value between REFADJ and REFIO increases the FSR of the data converter. Figure 6a shows the two possible configurations and their impact on the overall full-scale range adjustment of the MAX1213. Do not use resistor values of less than 13k to avoid instability of the internal gain regulation loop for the bandgap reference. See Figure 6b for the results of the adjustment range for a selection of resistors used to trim the full-scale range of the MAX1213. AVCC AVCC/2 REFT: TOP OF REFERENCE LADDER.

MAX1213 Digital Output Coding MAX1213 1.8V, 12-Bit, 170Msps ADC for Broadband Applications Differential, AC-Coupled, LVPECL-Compatible Clock Input The MAX1213 dynamic performance depends on the use of a very clean clock source. The phase noise floor of the clock source has a negative impact on the SNR performance. Spurious signals on the clock signal source also affect the ADC's dynamic range. The preferred method of clocking the MAX1213 is differentially with LVDS- or LVPECL-compatible input levels. The fast data transition rates of these logic families minimize the clock-input circuitry's transition uncertainty, thereby improving the SNR performance. To accomplish this, a 50 reverse-terminated clock signal source with low phase noise is AC-coupled into a fast differential receiver such as the MC100LVEL16D (Figure 7). The receiver produces the necessary LVPECL output levels to drive the clock inputs of the data converter. Transformer-Coupled, Differential Analog Input Drive In general, the MAX1213 provides the best SFDR and THD with fully differential input signals and it is not re- commended to drive the ADC inputs in single-ended configuration. In differential input mode, even-order harmonics are usually lower since INP and INN are balanced, and each of the ADC inputs only requires half the signal swing compared to a single-ended configuration. Wideband RF transformers provide an excellent solution to convert a single-ended signal to a fully differential signal, required by the MAX1213 to reach its optimum dynamic performance. A secondary-side termination of a 1:1 transformer (e.g., Mini-Circuit's ADT1-1WT) into two separate 24.9 1% resistors (use tight resistor tolerances to minimize effects of imbalance; 0.5% would be an ideal choice) placed between top/bottom and center tap of the transformer is recommended to maximize the ADC's dynamic range. This configuration optimizes THD and SFDR performance of the ADC by reducing the effects of transformer parasitics. However, the source impedance combined with the shunt capacitance provided by a PC board and the ADC's parasitic capacitance limit the ADC's full-power input bandwidth to approximately 600MHz.

Analog signals can be AC-coupled to the positive input INP through a 0.1F capacitor and terminated with a 49.9 resistor to AGND. The negative input should be reverse terminated with 49.9 resistors and AC-grounded with a 0.1F capacitor. Grounding, Bypassing, and Board Layout Considerations The MAX1213 requires board layout design techniques suitable for high-speed data converters. This ADC provides separate analog and digital power supplies. The analog and digital supply voltage pins accept input voltage ranges of 1.7V to 1.9V. Although both supply types can be combined and supplied from one source, it is recommended to use separate sources to cut down on performance degradation caused by digital switching currents, which can couple into the analog supply network. Isolate analog and digital supplies (AVCC and OVCC) where they enter the PC board with separate networks of ferrite beads and capacitors to their corresponding grounds (AGND, OGND).

Single-Ended AC-Coupled Analog Input Configuration ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 MAX1213 To further enhance THD and SFDR performance at high-input frequencies (>100MHz), a second transformer (Figure 8) should be placed in series with the single-ended-to-differential conversion transformer. This transformer reduces the increase of even-order harmonics at high frequencies. MAX1213 1.8V, 12-Bit, 170Msps ADC for Broadband Applications To achieve optimum performance, provide each supply with a separate network of a 47F tantalum capacitor and parallel combinations of 10F and 1F ceramic capacitors. Additionally, the ADC requires each supply pin to be bypassed with separate 0.1F ceramic capacitors (Figure 10). Locate these capacitors directly at the ADC supply pins or as close as possible to the MAX1213. Choose surface-mount capacitors, whose preferred location should be on the same side as the converter to save space and minimize the inductance. If close placement on the same side is not possible, these bypassing capacitors may be routed through vias to the bottom side of the PC board. Multilayer boards with separated ground and power planes produce the highest level of signal integrity. Consider the use of a split ground plane arranged to match the physical location of analog and digital ground on the ADC's package. The two ground planes should be joined at a single point such that the noisy digital ground currents do not interfere with the analog ground plane. The dynamic currents that may need to travel long distances before they are recombined at a common-source ground, resulting in large and undesirable ground loops, are a major concern with this approach. Ground loops can degrade the input noise by coupling back to the analog front end of the converter, resulting in increased spurious activity, leading to decreased noise performance. Alternatively, all ground pins could share the same ground plane, if the ground plane is sufficiently isolated from any noisy, digital systems ground. To minimize the coupling of the digital output signals from the analog input, segregate the digital output bus carefully from the analog input circuitry. To further minimize the effects of digital noise coupling, ground return vias can be positioned throughout the layout to divert digital switching currents away from the sensitive analog sections of the ADC. This approach does not require split ground planes, but can be accomplished by placing substantial ground connections between the analog front end and the digital outputs. The MAX1213 is packaged in a 68-pin QFN-EP package (package code: G6800-4), providing greater design flexibility, increased thermal dissipation, and optimized AC performance of the ADC. The exposed paddle (EP) must be soldered down to AGND. In this package, the data converter die is attached to an EP lead frame with the back of this frame exposed at the package bottom surface, facing the PC board side of the package. This allows a solid attachment of the package to the board with standard infrared (IR) flow soldering techniques. Thermal efficiency is one of the factors for selecting a package with an exposed pad for the MAX1213. The exposed pad improves thermal and ensures a solid ground connection between the DAC and the PC board's analog ground layer. Considerable care must be taken when routing the digital output traces for a high-speed, high-resolution data converter. It is recommended running the LVDS output traces as differential lines with 100 matched impedance from the ADC to the LVDS load device.

Grounding, Bypassing, and Decoupling Recommendations for MAX1213 16 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 1.8V, 12-Bit, 170Msps ADC for Broadband Applications Integral Nonlinearity (INL) Integral nonlinearity is the deviation of the values on an actual transfer function from a straight line. This straight line can be either a best straight-line fit or a line drawn between the end points of the transfer function, once offset and gain errors have been nullified. However, the static linearity parameters for the MAX1213 are measured using the histogram method with an input frequency of 10MHz. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) Differential nonlinearity is the difference between an actual step width and the ideal value of 1LSB. A DNL error specification of less than 1LSB guarantees no missing codes and a monotonic transfer function. The MAX1213's DNL specification is measured with the histogram method based on a 10MHz input tone. Dynamic Parameter Definitions Aperture Jitter Figure 11 depicts the aperture jitter (tAJ), which is the sample-to-sample variation in the aperture delay. Aperture Delay Aperture delay (tAD) is the time defined between the rising edge of the sampling clock and the instant when an actual sample is taken (Figure 11). CLKN tion error only and results directly from the ADC's resolution (N bits): SNR[max] = 6.02 x N + 1.76 In reality, other noise sources such as thermal noise, clock jitter, signal phase noise, and transfer function nonlinearities are also contributing to the SNR calculation and should be considered when determining the signal-to-noise ratio in ADC. Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion (SINAD) SINAD is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS signal to all spectral components excluding the fundamental and the DC offset. In the case of the MAX1213, SINAD is computed from a curve fit. Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) SFDR is the ratio of RMS amplitude of the carrier frequency (maximum signal component) to the RMS value of the next-largest noise or harmonic distortion component. SFDR is usually measured in dBc with respect to the carrier frequency amplitude or in dBFS with respect to the ADC's full-scale range. Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) IMD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the intermodulation products to the RMS sum of the two fundamental input tones. This is expressed as: IMD = 20 x log VIM12 + VIM2 2 + ...... + VIM3 2 + VIMn 2 V12 + V2 2 CLKP The fundamental input tone amplitudes (V1 and V2) are at -7dBFS.

The -3dB-point is defined as full-power input bandwidth frequency of the ADC. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 MAX1213 Static Parameter Definitions Pin Configuration Noise Power Ratio (NPR) Applications that require lower resolution, a choice of buffered or nonbuffered inputs, and/or higher speed can refer to other family members of the MAX1213. Adjusting an application to a lower resolution has been simplified by maintaining an identical pinout for all members of this high-speed family.

Numerous such carriers are operated in a continuous spectrum, generating a noise-like signal, which covers a relatively broad bandwidth. To test the MAX1213 for NPR, a "noise-like" signal is passed through a high-order bandpass filter to produce an approximately square spectral pedestal of noise with about the same bandwidth as the signals being simulated. Following the bandpass filter, the signal is passed through a narrow band-reject filter to produce a deep notch at the center of the noise pedestal. Finally, this signal is applied to the MAX1213 and its digitized results analyzed. The RMS noise power of the signal inside the notch is compared with the RMS noise level outside the notch using an FFT. Note that the NPR test requires sufficiently long data records to guarantee a suitable number of samples inside the notch. NPR for the MAX1213 was determined for 50MHz noise bandwidth signals, simulating a typical cable signal environment (see the Typical Operating Characteristics for test details and results) with a notch frequency of 28.8MHz.
