Divide-by-2 Clock Control (CLKDIV)
The MAX1121 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 one-
half the ADC’s input clock rate. CLKDIV has an internal
pulldown resistor and can be left open for applications
that only operate with update rates one-half of the con-
verter’s sampling rate. Connecting CLKDIV to OV_CC
allows data to be updated at the speed of the ADC input
clock.
System Timing Requirements
Figure 4 depicts the relationship between the clock
input and output, analog input, sampling event, and
data output. The MAX1121 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 nine clock cycles.
Digital Outputs (D0P/N–D7P/N, DCLKP/N,
ORP/N) and Control Input T/B
The digital outputs D0P/N–D7P/N, DCLKP/N, and ORP/N
are LVDS compatible, and data on D0P/N–D7P/N is pre-
sented 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 for-
mat. Pulling T/B low outputs data in two’s complement
and pulling it high presents data in offset binary format
on the 10-bit parallel bus. T/B has an internal pulldown
resistor and may be left unconnected in applications
using only two’s complement output format. All LVDS
outputs provide a typical voltage swing of 0.4V around
a common-mode voltage of approximately 1.2V, and
must be terminated at the far end of each transmission
line pair (true and complementary) with 100Ω. The
LVDS outputs are powered from a separate power sup-
ply, which can be operated between 1.7V and 1.9V.
The MAX1121 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 differential LVDS 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 off-board may improve overall
performance and reduce system timing constraints.
