1.8V, 8-Bit, 250Msps Analog-to-Digital Converter  
with LVDS Outputs for Wideband Applications  
General Description  
Features  
The MAX1121 is a monolithic 8-bit, 250Msps analog-to-  
digital converter (ADC) optimized for outstanding  
dynamic performance at high IF frequencies up to  
500MHz. The product operates with conversion rates of  
up to 250Msps while consuming only 477mW.  
250Msps Conversion Rate  
SNR = 48.8dB/48.7dB at f = 100MHz/500MHz  
IN  
SFDR = 68dBc/63.8dBc at f = 100MHz/500MHz  
Single 1.8V Supply  
IN  
At 250Msps and an input frequency of 100MHz, the  
MAX1121 achieves a spurious-free dynamic range  
(SFDR) of 68dBc. Its excellent signal-to-noise ratio  
(SNR) of 48.9dB at 10MHz remains flat (within 0.5dB)  
for input tones up to 500MHz. This makes the MAX1121  
ideal for wideband applications such as digital predis-  
tortion in cellular base-station transceiver systems.  
477mW Power Dissipation at 250Msps  
On-Chip Track-and-Hold and Internal Reference  
On-Chip Selectable Divide-by-2 Clock Input  
LVDS Digital Outputs with Data Clock Output  
Evaluation Kit Available (Order MAX1124EVKIT)  
The MAX1121 requires a single 1.8V supply. The ana-  
log input is designed for either differential or single-  
ended operation and can be AC- or DC-coupled. The  
ADC also features a selectable on-chip divide-by-2  
clock circuit, which allows the user to apply clock fre-  
quencies as high as 500MHz. This helps to reduce the  
phase noise of the input clock source. A differential  
LVDS sampling clock is recommended for best perfor-  
mance. The converter’s digital outputs are LVDS com-  
patible, and the data format can be selected to be  
either two’s complement or offset binary.

Theory of Operation  
are self-biased through 2.2kresistors, resulting in a  
typical differential input resistance of 4.4k. It is recom-  
mended to drive the analog inputs of the MAX1121 in  
AC-coupled configuration to achieve best dynamic per-  
formance. See the AC-Coupled Analog Inputs section for  
a detailed discussion of this configuration.  
The MAX1121 uses a fully differential, pipelined archi-  
tecture that allows for high-speed conversion, opti-  
mized accuracy and linearity, while minimizing power  
consumption and die size.  
Both positive (INP) and negative/complementary analog  
input terminals (INN) are centered around a common-  
mode voltage of 1.4V, and accept a differential analog  
input voltage swing of ±0.3125V each, resulting in a typi-  
On-Chip Reference Circuit  
The MAX1121 features an internal 1.23V bandgap ref-  
erence circuit (Figure 3), which, in combination with an  
internal reference-scaling amplifier, determines the full-  
scale range of the MAX1121. Bypass REFIO with a  
0.1µF capacitor to AGND. To compensate for gain  
errors or increase the ADC’s full-scale range, the volt-  
age of this bandgap reference can be indirectly adjust-  
ed by adding an external resistor (e.g., 100ktrim  
potentiometer) between REFADJ and AGND or  
REFADJ and REFIO. See the Applications Information  
section for a detailed description of this process.  
cal differential full-scale signal swing of 1.25V  
.
P-P  
INP and INN are buffered prior to entering each track-  
and-hold (T/H) stage and are sampled when the differen-  
tial sampling clock signal transitions high. A 2-bit ADC  
following the first T/H stage then digitizes the signal, and  
controls a 2-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC).  
Digitized and reference signals are then subtracted,  
resulting in a fractional residue signal that is amplified  
before it is passed on to the next stage through another  
T/H amplifier. This process is repeated until the applied  
input signal has successfully passed through all stages  
of the 8-bit quantizer. Finally, the digital outputs of all  
stages are combined and corrected for in the digital cor-  
rection logic to generate the final output code. The result  
is a 8-bit parallel digital output word in user-selectable  
two’s complement or binary output formats with LVDS-  
compatible output levels. See Figure 1 for a more  
detailed view of the MAX1121 architecture.  
Clock Inputs (CLKP, CLKN)  
Designed for a differential LVDS clock input drive, it is  
recommended to drive the clock inputs of the MAX1121  
with an LVDS-compatible clock to achieve the best  
dynamic performance. The clock signal source must be  
a high-quality, low phase noise to avoid any degrada-  
tion in the noise performance of the ADC. The clock  
inputs (CLKP, CLKN) are internally biased to 1.2V,  
accept a differential signal swing of 0.2V  
to 1.0V

Analog Inputs (INP, INN)  
INP and INN are the fully differential inputs of the

the analog stages. The MAX1121 analog inputs are self-

The MAX1121 also features an internal clock manage-

processed to provide a 50ꢀ duty cycle clock signal,  
which desensitizes the performance of the converter to  
variations in the duty cycle of the input clock source.  
Note that the clock duty-cycle equalizer cannot be

Clock Outputs (DCLKP, DCLKN)  
The MAX1121 features a differential clock output, which  
can be used to latch the digital output data with an  
external latch or receiver. Additionally, the clock output  
can be used to synchronize external devices (e.g.,  
FPGAs) to the ADC. DCLKP and DCLKN are differential  
outputs with LVDS-compatible voltage levels. There is a  
2.1ns delay time between the rising (falling) edge of  
CLKP (CLKN) and the rising edge of DCLKP (DCLKN).

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-  
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 100. The  
LVDS outputs are powered from a separate power sup-  
ply, which can be operated between 1.7V and 1.9V.

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.  
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.  
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

SCALING  
The MAX1121 supports a full-scale adjustment range of  
10ꢀ (±5ꢀ). To decrease the full-scale range, an exter-  
nal resistor value ranging from 13kto 1Mmay be  
added between REFADJ and AGND. A similar  
approach can be taken to increase the ADCs full-scale  
range. Adding a variable resistor, potentiometer, or  
predetermined resistor value between REFADJ and  
REFIO increases the full-scale range of the data con-  
verter. Figure 6 shows the two possible configurations  
and their impact on the overall full-scale range adjust-  
ment of the MAX1121. Do not use resistor values of less  
than 13kto avoid instability of the internal gain regula-  
tion loop for the bandgap reference.

The preferred method of clocking the MAX1121 is differ-  
entially with LVDS- or PECL-compatible input levels. To  
accomplish this, a 50reverse-terminated clock signal  
source with low phase noise is AC-coupled into a fast dif-  
ferential receiver such as the MC100LVEL16 (Figure 7).  
The receiver produces the necessary PECL output levels  
to drive the clock inputs of the data converter.

dynamic performance. In general, the MAX1121 pro-  
vides the best SFDR and THD with fully differential  
input signals and it is not recommended to drive the  
ADC inputs in single-ended configuration. In differential  
input mode, even-order harmonics are usually lower  
since INP and INN are balanced, and each of the ADC  
inputs only requires half the signal swing compared to  
a single-ended configuration.

Figure 8 depicts a secondary-side termination of the 1:1  
transformer into two separate 25loads. Terminating  
the transformer in this fashion reduces the potential  
effects of transformer parasitics. The source impedance  
combined with the shunt capacitance provided by a PC  
board and the ADC’s parasitic capacitance reduce the  
combined bandwidth to approximately 550MHz.

Single-Ended, AC-Coupled Analog Input  
Although not recommended, the MAX1121 can be  
used in single-ended mode (Figure 9). Analog signals  
can be AC-coupled to the positive input INP through a  
0.1µF capacitor and terminated with a 50resistor to

networks of ferrite beads and capacitors to their corre-  
sponding grounds (AGND, OGND).  
To achieve optimum performance, provide each supply  
with a separate network of a 47µF tantalum capacitor in  
parallel with 10µF and 1µF ceramic capacitors.  
Additionally, the ADC requires each supply pin to be  
bypassed with separate 0.1µF ceramic capacitors  
(Figure 10). Locate these capacitors directly at the ADC  
supply pins or as close as possible to the MAX1121.  
Choose surface-mount capacitors, which are preferably  
located on the same side as the converter, to save  
space and minimize the inductance.

Layout Considerations  
The MAX1121 requires board layout design techniques  
suitable for high-speed data converters. This ADC pro-  
vides separate analog and digital power supplies. The  
analog and digital supply voltage pins accept input  
voltage ranges of 1.7V to 1.9V. Although both supply

Figure 10. Grounding, Bypassing, and Decoupling Recommendations for the MAX1121  
Multilayer boards with separated ground and power  
planes produce the highest level of signal integrity.  
Consider the use of a split ground plane arranged to  
match the physical location of analog and digital  
ground on the ADC’s package. The two ground planes  
should be joined at a single point so the noisy digital  
ground currents do not interfere with the analog ground  
plane. A major concern with this approach are the  
dynamic currents that may need to travel long dis-  
tances before they are recombined at a common  
source ground, resulting in large and undesirable  
ground loops. Ground loops can add to digital noise by  
coupling back to the analog front end of the converter,  
resulting in increased spur activity and a decreased  
noise performance.  
The MAX1121 is packaged in a 68-pin QFN-EP pack-  
age (package code: G6800-4), providing greater  
design flexibility, increased thermal efficiency, and opti-  
mized AC performance of the ADC. The EP must be  
soldered down to AGND.  
In this package, the data converter die is attached to  
an EP lead frame with the back of this frame exposed  
at the package bottom surface, facing the PC board  
side of the package. This allows a solid attachment of  
the package to the PC board with standard infrared (IR)  
flow soldering techniques.  
Note that thermal efficiency is not the key factor, since  
the MAX1121 features low-power operation. The  
exposed pad is the key element to ensure a solid  
ground connection between the DAC and the PC  
board’s analog ground layer.  
Alternatively, all ground pins could share the same  
ground plane, if the ground plane is sufficiently isolated  
from any noisy, digital systems ground. To minimize the  
effects of digital noise coupling, ground return vias can  
be positioned throughout the layout to divert digital  
switching currents away from the sensitive analog sec-  
tions of the ADC. This does not require additional  
ground splitting, but can be accomplished by placing  
substantial ground connections between the analog  
front end and the digital outputs.  
Considerable care must be taken, when routing the  
digital output traces for a high-speed, high-resolution  
data converter. It is essential to keep trace lengths at a  
minimum and place minimal capacitive loading (less  
than 5pF) on any digital trace to prevent coupling to  
sensitive analog sections of the ADC. It is recommend-  
ed to run the LVDS output traces as differential lines  
with 100characteristic impedance from the ADC to  
the LVDS load device.

Differential Nonlinearly (DNL)  
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between an  
actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A DNL  
error specification of less than 1 LSB guarantees no  
missing codes and a monotonic transfer function. The  
MAX1121’s DNL specification is measured with the his-

Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)  
SFDR is the ratio of RMS amplitude of the carrier fre-  
quency (maximum signal component) to the RMS value  
of the next-largest noise or harmonic distortion compo-  
nent. SFDR is usually measured in dBc with respect to  
the carrier frequency amplitude or in dBFS with respect  
to the ADC’s full-scale range.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)  
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital  
samples, the theoretical maximum SNR is the ratio of  
the full-scale analog input (RMS value) to the RMS  
quantization error (residual error). The ideal, theoretical  
minimum analog-to-digital noise is caused by quantiza-  
tion error only and results directly from the ADC’s reso-  
lution (N bits):

In reality, other noise sources such as thermal noise,  
clock jitter, signal phase noise, and transfer function  
nonlinearities are also contributing to the SNR calcula-  
tion and should be considered when determining the  
SNR in ADC.  
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion (SINAD)  
SINAD is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS sig-  
nal to all spectral components excluding the fundamen-  
tal and the DC offset. In case of the MAX1121, SINAD  
is computed from a curve fit.
