±5V, 600Msps, 8-Bit ADC with On-Chip
2.2GHz Bandwidth Track/Hold Amplifier
General Description
The MAX106 PECL-compatible, 600Msps, 8-bit analog-to-
digital converter (ADC) allows accurate digitizing of ana-
log signals with bandwidths to 2.2GHz. Fabricated on
Maxim’s proprietary advanced GST-2 bipolar process, the
MAX106 integrates a high-performance track/hold (T/H)
amplifier and a quantizer on a single monolithic die.
The innovative design of the internal T/H, which has an
exceptionally wide 2.2GHz full-power input bandwidth,
results in high, 7.6 effective bits performance at the
Nyquist frequency. A fully differential comparator design
and decoding circuitry combine to reduce out-of-
sequence code errors (thermometer bubbles or sparkle
codes) and provide excellent metastable performance of
one error per 10²⁷ clock cycles. Unlike other ADCs, which
can have errors that result in false full- or zero-scale out-
puts, the MAX106 limits the error magnitude to 1LSB.
The analog input is designed for either differential or sin-
gle-ended use with a ±250mV input voltage range. Dual,
differential, PECL-compatible output data paths ensure
easy interfacing and include an 8:16 demultiplexer feature
that reduces output data rates to one-half the sampling
clock rate. The PECL outputs can be operated from any
supply between +3V to +5V for compatibility with +3.3V or
+5V referenced systems. Control inputs are provided for
interleaving additional MAX106 devices to increase the
effective system sampling rate.
The MAX106 is packaged in a 25mm x 25mm, 192-con-
tact Enhanced Super-Ball-Grid Array (ESBGA™), and is
specified over the commercial (0°C to +70°C) temperature
range. For a pin-compatible higher speed upgrade, refer
to the MAX104 (1Gsps) and MAX108 (1.5Gsps) data
sheets.
