_______________General Description
The MAX1003 is a dual, 6-bit analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) that combines high-speed, low-power operation
with a user-selectable input range, an internal refer-
ence, and a clock oscillator. The dual parallel ADCs are
designed to convert in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q)
analog signals into two 6-bit, offset-binary-coded digital
outputs at sampling rates up to 90Msps. The ability to
directly interface with baseband I and Q signals makes
the MAX1003 ideal for use in direct-broadcast satellite,
VSAT, and QAM16 demodulation applications.
The MAX1003 input amplifiers feature true differential
inputs, a -0.5dB analog bandwidth of 55MHz, and user-
programmable input full-scale ranges of 125mVp-p,
250mVp-p, or 500mVp-p. With an AC-coupled input
signal, matching performance between input channels
is typically better than 0.1dB gain, 1/4LSB offset, and
0.5° phase. Dynamic performance is 5.85 effective
number of bits (ENOB) with a 20MHz analog input sig-
nal, or 5.7 ENOB with a 50MHz signal.
The MAX1003 operates with +5V analog and +3.3V digi-
tal supplies for easy interfacing to +3.3V-logic-compati-
ble digital signal processors and microprocessors. It
comes in a 36-pin SSOP package.

Note 1:
Best-fit straight-line linearity method.
Note 2:
A typical application will AC couple the analog input to the DC bias level present at the analog inputs (typically 2.35V).
However, it is also possible to DC couple the analog input (using differential or single-ended drive) within this common-
mode input range (Figures 4 and 5).
Note 3:
PSRR is defined as the change in the mid-gain full-scale range as a function of the variation in V
CC
supply voltage,
expressed in decibels.
Note 4:
The current in the V
CCO
supply is a strong function of the capacitive loading on the digital outputs. To minimize supply tran-
sients and achieve optimal dynamic performance, reduce the capacitive-loading effects by keeping line lengths on the dig-
ital outputs to a minimum.

DCLK
is measured from the 50% level of the clock-overdrive signal on TNK+ to the 1.4V level of DCLK. The capac-
itive load on the outputs is 15pF.

MAX1003
_______________Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX1003 contains two 6-bit analog-to-digital con-
verters (ADCs), a buffered voltage reference, and oscil-
lator circuitry. The ADCs use a flash conversion
technique to convert an analog input signal into a 6-bit
parallel digital output code. The MAX1003’s unique
design includes 63 fully differential comparators and a
proprietary encoding scheme that ensures no more
than 1LSB dynamic encoding error. The control logic
interfaces easily to most digital signal processors
(DSPs) and microprocessors (µPs) with +3.3V CMOS-
compatible logic interfaces. Figure 1 shows the
MAX1003 in a typical application.
Programmable Input Amplifiers
The MAX1003 has two (I and Q) programmable-gain
input amplifiers with a -0.5dB bandwidth of 55MHz and
true differential inputs. To maximize performance in
high-speed systems, each amplifier has less than 5pF
of input capacitance. The input amplifier gain is pro-
grammed, via the GAIN pin, to provide three possible
input full-scale ranges (FSRs) as shown in Table 1.
