The MAX1197 is a 3V, dual, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring fully differential wideband trackand-hold (T/H) inputs, driving two ADCs. The MAX1197 is optimized for low-power, small size, and high-dynamic performance for applications in imaging, instrumentation and digital communications. This ADC operates from a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply, consuming only 120mW while delivering a typical signal-to-noise and distortion (SINAD) of 48.5dB at an input frequency of 30MHz and a sampling rate of 60Msps. The T/H-driven input stages incorporate 400MHz (-3dB) input amplifiers. The converters may also be operated with singleended inputs. In addition to low operating power, the MAX1197 features a 3mA sleep mode as well as a 0.1A power-down mode to conserve power during idle periods.
