_______________Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX1011 integrates a 6-bit analog-to-digital con-
verter (ADC), a buffered voltage reference, and oscilla-
tor circuitry. The ADC uses a flash conversion technique
to convert an analog input signal into a 6-bit parallel
digital output code. The MAX1011’s unique design
includes 63 fully differential comparators and a propri-
etary encoding scheme that ensures no more than
1LSB dynamic encoding error. The control logic inter-
faces easily to most digital signal processors (DSPs)
and microprocessors (µPs) with +3.3V CMOS-compati-
ble logic interfaces. Figure 1 shows the MAX1011 in a
typical application.
Programmable Input Amplifier
The MAX1011 has a programmable-gain input amplifier
with a -0.5dB bandwidth of 55MHz and a true differen-
tial input. To maximize performance in high-speed
systems, the amplifier has less than 3pF of input
capacitance. The input amplifier gain is programmed
via the GAIN pin to provide three possible input full-
scale ranges (FSRs) as shown in Table 1.
Single-ended and differential AC-coupled input circuit
examples are shown in Figures 2 and 3. Each of the
