MAX1444
The MAX1444 10-bit, 3V analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) features a pipelined 10-stage ADC architecture
with fully differential wideband track-and-hold (T/H)
input and digital error correction incorporating a fully
differential signal path. This ADC is optimized for low-
power, high dynamic performance applications in
imaging and digital communications. The MAX1444
operates from a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply, consuming
only 57mW while delivering a 59.5dB signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) at a 20MHz input frequency. The fully differ-
ential input stage has a 400MHz -3dB bandwidth and
may be operated with single-ended inputs. In addition
to low operating power, the MAX1444 features a 5µA
power-down mode for idle periods.
An internal 2.048V precision bandgap reference is
used to set the ADC full-scale range. A flexible refer-
ence structure allows the user to supply a buffered,
direct, or externally derived reference for applications
requiring increased accuracy or a different input volt-
age range.
Higher speed, pin-compatible versions of the MAX1444
are also available. Please refer to the MAX1446 data
sheet (60Msps) and the MAX1448 data sheet
(80Msps).
The MAX1444 has parallel, offset binary, CMOS-com-
patible three-state outputs that can be operated from
1.7V to 3.6V to allow flexible interfacing. The device is
available in a 5x5mm 32-pin TQFP package and is
specified over the extended industrial (-40°C to +85°C)
temperature range.

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.

Note 1:
SNR, SINAD, THD, SFDR, and HD3 are based on an analog input voltage of -0.5dBFS referenced to a 1.024V full-scale
input voltage range.
Note 2:
Intermodulation distortion is the total power of the intermodulation products relative to the individual carrier. This number is
6dB better if referenced to the two-tone envelope.
Note 3:
Digital outputs settle to V
IH
, V
IL
.
Note 4:
REFIN is driven externally. REFP, COM, and REFN are left open while powered down.
