MAX11905
20-Bit, 1.6Msps, Low-Power, Fully Differential
SAR ADC
General Description
The MAX11905 is a 20-bit, 1.6Msps, single-channel, fully
differential SAR ADC with internal reference buffers. The
MAX11905 provides excellent static and dynamic perfor-
mance with best-in-class power consumption that directly
scales with throughput. The device has a unipolar differ-
ential ±V
REF
input range. Supplies include a 3.3V supply
for the reference buffers, a 1.8V analog supply, a 1.8V
digital supply, and a 1.5V to 3.6V digital interface supply.
This ADC achieves 98.3dB SNR and -123dB THD, guar-
antees 20-bit resolution with no-missing codes and 6 LSB
INL (max).
The MAX11905 communicates data using a SPI-
compatible serial interface. The MAX11905 is offered in a
20-pin, 4mm x 4mm, TQFN package and is specified over
the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
