The MAX1195 is a 3V, dual, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring fully differential wideband trackand-hold (T/H) inputs, driving two ADCs. The MAX1195 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 87mW while delivering a typical signal-to-noise and distortion (SINAD) of 48.5dB at an input frequency of 20MHz and a sampling rate of 40Msps. The T/H-driven input stages incorporate 400MHz (-3dB) input amplifiers. The converters may also be operated with single-ended inputs. In addition to low operating power, the MAX1195 features a 3mA sleep mode as well as a 0.1A power-down mode to conserve power during idle periods. An internal 2.048V precision bandgap reference sets the full-scale range of the ADC. A flexible reference structure allows the use of this internal or an externally applied reference, if desired, for applications requiring increased accuracy or a different input voltage range. The MAX1195 features parallel, CMOS-compatible threestate outputs. The digital output format can be set to two's complement or straight offset binary through a single control pin. The device provides for a separate output power supply of 1.7V to 3.6V for flexible interfacing with various logic families. The MAX1195 is available in a 7mm x 7mm, 48-pin TQFP package, and is specified for the extended industrial (-40C to +85C) temperature range. Pin-compatible higher speed versions of the MAX1195 are also available. Refer to the MAX1197 data sheet for 60Msps and the MAX1198 data sheet for 100Msps. In addition to these speed grades, this family will include a multiplexed output version (MAX1196, 40Msps), for which digital data is presented time interleaved and on a single, parallel 8-bit output port. For a 10-bit, pin-compatible upgrade, refer to the MAX1183 data sheet. With the N.C. pins of the MAX1195 internally pulled down to ground, this ADC becomes a drop-in replacement for the MAX1183.
