MAX1183
Detailed Description
The MAX1183 uses a nine-stage, fully differential,
pipelined architecture (Figure 1) that allows for high-
speed conversion while minimizing power consump-
tion. Samples taken at the inputs move progressively
through the pipeline stages every half-clock cycle.
Including the delay through the output latch, the total
clock-cycle latency is five clock cycles.
One-and-a-half bit (2-comparator) flash ADCs convert
the held-input voltages into a digital code. The digital-
to-analog converters (DACs) convert the digitized
results back into analog voltages, which are then sub-
tracted from the original held-input signals. The resulting
error signals are then multiplied by two, and the residues
are passed along to the next pipeline stages where the
process is repeated until the signals have been
processed by all nine stages. Digital error correction
compensates for ADC comparator offsets in each of
these pipeline stages and ensures no missing codes.

Input Track-and-Hold (T/H) Circuits
Figure 2 displays a simplified functional diagram of the
input track-and-hold (T/H) circuits in both track-and-hold
mode. In track mode, switches S1, S2a, S2b, S4a, S4b,
S5a, and S5b are closed. The fully differential circuits
sample the input signals onto the two capacitors (C2a
and C2b) through switches S4a and S4b. S2a and S2b
set the common mode for the amplifier input, and open
simultaneously with S1, sampling the input waveform.
Switches S4a and S4b are then opened before switch-
es S3a and S3b connect capacitors C1a and C1b to
the output of the amplifier and switch S4c is closed.
The resulting differential voltages are held on capaci-
tors C2a and C2b. The amplifiers are used to charge
capacitors C1a and C1b to the same values originally
held on C2a and C2b. These values are then presented
to the first-stage quantizers and isolate the pipelines
from the fast-changing inputs. The wide input bandwidth
T/H amplifiers allow the MAX1183 to track-and-sam-
ple/hold analog inputs of high frequencies (> Nyquist).
The ADC inputs (INA+, INB+, INA- and INB-) can be
driven either differentially or single-ended. Match the
impedance of INA+ and INA-, as well as INB+ and INB-
and set the common-mode voltage to midsupply
(V
DD
/2) for optimum performance.
Analog Inputs and Reference
Configurations
The full-scale range of the MAX1183 is determined by
the internally generated voltage difference between
REFP (V
DD
/2 + V
REFIN
/4) and REFN (V
DD
/2 -
V
REFIN
/4). The full-scale range for both on-chip ADCs is
adjustable through the REFIN pin, which is provided for
this purpose. REFOUT, REFP, COM (V
DD
/2), and REFN
are internally buffered low-impedance outputs.
The MAX1183 provides three modes of reference
operation:
Internal reference mode
Buffered external reference mode
Unbuffered external reference mode
In internal reference mode, connect the internal refer-
ence output REFOUT to REFIN through a resistor (e.g.,
10k) or resistor divider, if an application requires a
reduced full-scale range. For stability and noise filtering
purposes, bypass REFIN with a >10nF capacitor to
GND. In internal reference mode, REFOUT, COM, REFP,
and REFN become low-impedance outputs.
In buffered external reference mode, adjust the reference
voltage levels externally by applying a stable and accu-
rate voltage at REFIN. In this mode, COM, REFP, and
REFN become outputs. REFOUT may be left open or
connected to REFIN through a >10k resistor.
In unbuffered external reference mode, connect REFIN
to GND. This deactivates the on-chip reference buffers
for REFP, COM, and REFN. With their buffers shut
down, these nodes become high impedance and may
be driven through separate external reference sources.
Clock Input (CLK)
The MAX1183’s CLK input accepts CMOS-compatible
clock signals. Since the interstage conversion of the
device depends on the repeatability of the rising and
falling edges of the external clock, use a clock with low
jitter and fast rise and fall times (< 2ns). In particular,
sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock signal,
requiring this edge to provide lowest possible jitter. Any
significant aperture jitter would limit the SNR perfor-
mance of the on-chip ADCs as follows:

Clock jitter is especially critical for undersampling
applications. The clock input should always be consid-
ered as an analog input and routed away from any ana-
log input or other digital signal lines.
The MAX1183 clock input operates with a voltage thresh-
old set to V
DD
/2. Clock inputs with a duty cycle other
than 50% must meet the specifications for high and low
periods as stated in the Electrical Characteristics.
System Timing Requirements
Figure 3 depicts the relationship between the clock
input, analog input, and data output. The MAX1183
samples at the rising edge of the input clock. Output
data for channels A and B is valid on the next rising
edge of the input clock. The output data has an internal
latency of five clock cycles. Figure 4 also determines
the relationship between the input clock parameters
and the valid output data on channels A and B.
Digital Output Data, Output Data Format
Selection (T/B), Output Enable (
OE
)
All digital outputs, D0A–D9A (Channel A) and D0B–D9B
(Channel B) are TTL/CMOS logic-compatible. There is a
five-clock-cycle latency between any particular sample
and its corresponding output data. The output coding
can be chosen to be either straight offset binary or
two’s complement (Table 1) controlled by a single pin
(T/B). Pull T/B low to select offset binary and high to
activate two’s complement output coding. The capaci-
tive load on the digital outputs D0A–D9A and D0B–D9B
should be kept as low as possible (<15pF) to avoid
large digital currents that could feed back into the ana-
log portion of the MAX1183, thereby degrading its
dynamic performance. Using buffers on the digital out-
puts of the ADCs can further isolate the digital outputs
from heavy capacitive loads. To further improve the
dynamic performance of the MAX1183, small-series
resistors (e.g., 100) may be added to the digital out-
put paths close to the MAX1183.
