General Description

The MAX1446 10-bit, +3V analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) features a fully differential input, a pipelined 10-
stage ADC architecture with digital error correction and
wideband track and hold (T/H) incorporating a fully dif-
ferential signal path. This ADC is optimized for low-
power, high dynamic performance applications in
imaging and digital communications. The MAX1446
operates from a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply, consum-
ing only 90mW while delivering a 59.5dB signal-to-
noise ratio (SNR) at a 20MHz input frequency. The fully
differential input stage has a 400MHz, -3dB bandwidth
and may be operated with single-ended inputs. In addi-
tion to low operating power, the MAX1446 features a
5µA power-down mode for idle periods.

An internal +2.048V precision bandgap reference is
used to set the ADC full-scale range. A flexible refer-
ence structure allows the user to supply a buffered,
direct or externally derived reference for applications
requiring increased accuracy or a different input volt-
age range.

Lower and higher speed, pin-compatible versions of
the MAX1446 are also available. Refer to the MAX1444
data sheet for a 40Msps version and the MAX1448 data
sheet for a 80Msps version.

The MAX1446 has parallel, offset binary, three-state
outputs that can be operated from +1.7V to +3.3V to
allow flexible interfacing. The device is available in a
5x5mm, 32-pin TQFP package and is specified over the
extended industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature
range.
