General Description

The MAX1421 is a +3.3V, 12-bit analog-to-digital con-
verter (ADC), featuring a fully-differential input,
pipelined, 12-stage ADC architecture with wideband
track-and-hold (T/H) and digital error correction incor-
porating a fully-differential signal path. The MAX1421 is
optimized for low-power, high-dynamic performance
applications in imaging and digital communications.
The converter operates from a single +3.3V supply,
consuming only 188mW while delivering a typical sig-
nal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 66dB at an input frequency
of 15MHz and a sampling frequency of 40Msps. The
fully-differential input stage has a small signal -3dB
bandwidth of 400MHz and may be operated with sin-
gle-ended inputs.

An internal +2.048V precision bandgap reference sets
the full-scale range of the ADC. A flexible reference
structure accommodates an internal or externally
applied buffered or unbuffered reference for applica-
tions requiring increased accuracy or a different input
voltage range.

In addition to low operating power, the MAX1421 fea-
tures two power-down modes, a reference power-down
and a shutdown mode. In reference power-down, the
internal bandgap reference is deactivated, resulting in
a typical 2mA supply current reduction. For idle peri-
ods, a full shutdown mode is available to maximize
power savings.

The MAX1421 provides parallel, offset binary, CMOS-
compatible three-state outputs.

The MAX1421 is available in a 7mm x 7mm, 48-pin
TQFP package, and is specified over the commercial
(0°C to +70°C) and the extended industrial (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature ranges.

Pin-compatible higher- and lower-speed versions of the
MAX1421 are also available. Please refer to the
MAX1420 data sheet for a frequency of 60Msps and
the MAX1422 data sheet for a frequency of 20Msps.
