±5V, 600Msps, 8-Bit ADC with On-Chip
2.2GHz Bandwidth Track/Hold Amplifier
General Description
The MAX106 PECL-compatible, 600Msps, 8-bit analog-to-
digital converter (ADC) allows accurate digitizing of ana-
log signals with bandwidths to 2.2GHz. Fabricated on
Maxim’s proprietary advanced GST-2 bipolar process, the
MAX106 integrates a high-performance track/hold (T/H)
amplifier and a quantizer on a single monolithic die.
The innovative design of the internal T/H, which has an
exceptionally wide 2.2GHz full-power input bandwidth,
results in high, 7.6 effective bits performance at the
Nyquist frequency. A fully differential comparator design
and decoding circuitry combine to reduce out-of-
sequence code errors (thermometer bubbles or sparkle
codes) and provide excellent metastable performance of
one error per 10
27
clock cycles. Unlike other ADCs, which
can have errors that result in false full- or zero-scale out-
puts, the MAX106 limits the error magnitude to 1LSB.
The analog input is designed for either differential or sin-
gle-ended use with a ±250mV input voltage range. Dual,
differential, PECL-compatible output data paths ensure
easy interfacing and include an 8:16 demultiplexer feature
that reduces output data rates to one-half the sampling
clock rate. The PECL outputs can be operated from any
supply between +3V to +5V for compatibility with +3.3V or
+5V referenced systems. Control inputs are provided for
interleaving additional MAX106 devices to increase the
effective system sampling rate.
The MAX106 is packaged in a 25mm x 25mm, 192-con-
tact Enhanced Super-Ball-Grid Array (ESBGA™), and is
specified over the commercial (0°C to +70°C) temperature
range. For a pin-compatible higher speed upgrade, refer
to the MAX104 (1Gsps) and MAX108 (1.5Gsps) data
sheets.

Note 1:
Static linearity parameters are computed from a “best-fit” straight line through the code transition points. The full-scale
range (FSR) is defined as 256
·
slope of the line.
Note 2:
The offset control input is a self-biased voltage divider from the internal +2.5V reference voltage. The nominal open-circuit
voltage is +1.25V. It may be driven from an external potentiometer connected between REFOUT and GNDI.
Note 3:
The clock input’s termination voltage can be operated between -2.0V and GNDI. Observe the absolute maximum ratings on
the CLK+ and CLK- inputs.
Note 4:
Input logic levels are measured with respect to the V
CC
O power-supply voltage.
Note 5:
All PECL digital outputs are loaded with 50Ω to V
CC
O - 2.0V. Measurements are made with respect to the V

supply voltage.
Note 6:
The current in the V
CC
O power supply does not include the current in the digital output’s emitter followers, which is a func-
tion of the load resistance and the V
TT
termination voltage.
Note 7:
Common-mode rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of the change in the transfer-curve offset voltage to the change in the
common-mode voltage, expressed in dB.

Power-supply rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of the change in the transfer-curve offset voltage to the change in power

Note 11:
Effective number of bits (ENOB) and signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) are computed from a curve fit referenced to the
theoretical full-scale range.
