MAX19700
The MAX19700 is an ultra-low-power, mixed-signal ana-
log front-end (AFE) designed for TD-SCDMA handsets
and data cards. Optimized for high dynamic perfor-
mance at ultra-low power, the MAX19700 integrates a
dual 10-bit, 7.5Msps receive (Rx) ADC, dual 10-bit,
7.5Msps transmit (Tx) DAC with TD-SCDMA baseband
filters, and three fast-settling 12-bit aux-DAC channels
for ancillary RF front-end control. The typical operating
power in Tx-Rx FAST mode is 36.3mW at a 5.12Msps
clock frequency.
The Rx ADCs feature 54.9dB SINAD and 78dBc SFDR
at a 1.87MHz input frequency with a 7.5Msps sample
frequency. The analog I/Q input amplifiers are fully dif-
ferential and accept 1.024V
P-P
full-scale signals.
Typical I/Q channel matching is ±0.22° phase and
±0.02dB gain.
The Tx DACs with TD-SCDMA lowpass filters feature
-3dB cutoff frequency of 1.27MHz and >55dB stop-
band rejection at f
IMAGE
= 4.32MHz. The analog I/Q
full-scale output voltage range is selectable at ±410mV
or ±500mV. The output common-mode voltage is selec-
table from 0.9V to 1.4V and the I/Q channel offset is
adjustable. The typical I/Q channel matching is
±0.05dB gain and ±0.16° phase.
The Rx ADC and Tx DAC share a single, 10-bit parallel,
high-speed digital bus allowing half-duplex operation
for time-division duplex (TDD) applications. A 3-wire
serial interface controls power-management modes
and the aux-DAC channels.
The MAX19700 operates on a single +2.7V to +3.3V
analog supply and +1.8V to +3.3V digital I/O supply.
The MAX19700 is specified for the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range and is available in a 48-pin,
thin QFN package.
