_________________General Description
The MAX1170 analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a
12-bit monolithic ADC capable of sample rates greater
than 10Msps. An on-board input buffer and track/hold
function ensure excellent dynamic performance without
the need for external components. A 5pF input capaci-
tance minimizes development problems.
Logic inputs and outputs are TTL compatible. An over-
range output signal is provided to indicate overflow
conditions. Output data format is straight binary. Power
dissipation is a very low 1.1W with power-supply volt-
ages of +5.0V and -5.2V. The MAX1170 also provides a
wide input voltage range of ±2.0V.
The MAX1170 is available in a 32-lead ceramic side-
brazed package and a 44-lead surface-mount CERQUAD
package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

TEST LEVEL CODES
All electrical characteristics are subject to the
following conditions:
All parameters having min/max specifications
are guaranteed. The Test Level column indi-
cates the specific device testing actually per-
formed during production and Quality
Assurance inspection. Any blank section in the
data column indicates that the specification is
not tested at the specified condition.
Unless otherwise noted, all tests are pulsed;
therefore, T
