MAX1181 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX1181 Evaluation kit (EV Kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains all the components
necessary to evaluate the performance of the nonmulti-
plexed MAX1180–MAX1184 and MAX1190 or multiplexed
MAX1185 and MAX1186, dual 10-bit analog-to-digital
converters (ADC). The MAX1180–MAX1186 and
MAX1190 accept differential or single-ended analog
inputs and the EV kit allows for evaluation of each ADC
with both types of signals from one single-ended analog
signal. The digital output produced by the ADC can easily
be sampled with a user-provided high-speed logic ana-
lyzer or data-acquisition system. The EV kit operates from
3.0V analog and 2.0V digital power supplies. It includes
circuitry that generates a clock signal from an AC signal
provided by the user. The EV kit comes with the MAX1181
installed. Order free samples of the pin-compatible
MAX1180, MAX1182, MAX1183, MAX1184, MAX1185,

MAX1181 Evaluation Kit
Note:
Both input channels may be configured iden-
tically or differently.
5) Connect the logic analyzer to the square pin header
(J1). Channel A (Channel B) data is captured on J1-
1 (J1-23) through J1-19 (J1-41). If evaluating the
multiplexed ADC (MAX1185 or MAX1186), the out-
put data for Channel A and Channel B is captured
on a single 10-bit bus (J1-1 through J1-19) and the
A/B indicator signal can be monitored on J1-23 (see
Table 4 for bit locations and J1 header designators).
The system clock for both multiplexed and nonmulti-
plexed output operation is available on pin J1-43.
6) Connect a 3.0V, 300mA power supply to VA and
VADUT. Connect the ground terminal of this supply
to AGND.
7) Connect a 2.0V, 100mA power supply to VD and
VDDUT. Connect the ground terminal of this supply
to DGND.
8) Turn on both power supplies.
9) With a voltmeter, verify that 1.20V is measured
across test points TP1 and TP2. If the voltage is not
1.20V, adjust potentiometer R34 until 1.20V is
obtained.
10) Enable the function generators. Set the clock func-
tion generator for an output amplitude of 2.4V
P-P
and frequency (f
CLK
)
≤
80MHz. Set the analog input
signal generators for an output amplitude
≤
2V
P-P
and to the desired frequency. The two function gen-
erators should be phase-locked to each other.
11) Set the logic analyzer to capture on the clock’s rising
edge. In multiplexed output operation mode capture
Channel A data on the falling edge and Channel B
data on the rising edge of the logic analyzer clock.
12) Enable the logic analyzer.
13) Collect data using the logic analyzer.
(f
CLK
) of 80MHz. The MAX1181 accepts differential or
single-ended analog input signals. With the proper board
configuration (as specified below), the ADC can be eval-
uated with both types of signals by supplying only one
single-ended analog signal to the EV kit.
The EV kit was designed as a four-layer PC board to
optimize the performance of the MAX1181. Separate
analog and digital power planes minimize noise cou-
pling between analog and digital signals. For simple
operation, the EV kit is specified to have 3.0V and 2.0V
DC power supplies applied to analog and digital power
planes, respectively. However, the digital plane can be
operated down to 1.7V without compromising the
board’s performance. The logic analyzer’s threshold
must be adjusted accordingly.
Access to Channel A and Channel B outputs is provid-
ed through connector J1. The 50-pin connector inter-
faces directly with a user-provided logic analyzer or
data acquisition system.

Power Supplies
The MAX1181 EV kit requires separate analog and digi-
tal power supplies for best performance. A 3.0V power
supply is used to power the analog portion of the
MAX1181 and the clock signal circuit. The MAX1181
analog supply voltage has a range of 2.7V to 3.6V, how-
ever, 3.0V must be supplied to the EV kit (VADUT, VA) to
meet the minimum input voltage supply to the clock
shaping circuit. A separate 2.0V power supply is used to
power the digital portion (VDDUT, VD) of the MAX1181
and the buffer/driver. It will operate with a voltage supply
as low as 1.7V and as high as 3.6V. Enhanced dynamic
performance is normally achieved when the digital sup-
ply voltage is lower than the analog supply voltage.
Clock
An on-board clock-shaping circuit generates a clock
signal from an AC sine-wave signal applied to the
CLOCK SMA connector. The input signal should not
exceed a magnitude of 2.6V
P-P
. The frequency of the
signal should not exceed 80MHz for the MAX1181. The
frequency of the sinusoidal input signal determines the
sampling frequency (f
CLK
) of the ADC. A differential line
receiver (U2) processes the input signal to generate the
CMOS clock signal. The signal’s duty cycle can be
adjusted with potentiometer R34. A clock signal with a
50% duty cycle (recommended) can be achieved by
adjusting R34 until 1.20V is produced across test points
TP1 and TP2, when the analog voltage supply is set to
3.0V (40% of the analog power supply). The clock signal
is available at the J1-J43 pin (CK), which can be used to
synchronize the output signal to the logic analyzer.
Detailed Description
The MAX1181 EV kit is a fully-assembled and tested cir-
cuit board that contains all the components necessary to
evaluate the performance of the MAX1180, MAX1181,
MAX1182, MAX1183, MAX1184, MAX1185, MAX1186, or
MAX1190, dual 10-bit ADCs (Channel A and Channel B).
The MAX1180–MAX1184/MAX1190 dual outputs
(Channel A and Channel B) are nonmultiplexed and the
data is captured with two separate 10-bit buses. The
MAX1185 and MAX1186 dual outputs (Channel A and
Channel B) are multiplexed and data is captured with a
single 10-bit bus. The EV kit comes with the MAX1181
which can be evaluated with a maximum clock frequency

Input Signal
The MAX1181 accepts differential or single-ended ana-
log input signals applied to Channels A or B. The EV kit
requires only single-ended analog input signals, with
an amplitude of less than 2V
P-P
provided by the user.
During single-ended operation the signal is applied
directly to the ADC, while in differential mode, an on-
board transformer takes the single-ended analog input
and generates a differential analog signal at the ADCs
differential input pins. To evaluate single-ended signal
input, connect the input signal to the S/E_INA (Channel
A) or S/E_INB (Channel B) SMA connectors. To evalu-
ate differential signals, connect the input signal to the
D/E_INA (Channel A) or D/E_INB (Channel B) SMA con-
nectors. For single-ended or differential operation, see
Table 1 for jumper configuration.
Note:
When a differential signal is applied to the ADC,
the positive and negative input pins of the ADC each
receive half of the input signal supplied at SMA
connector D/E_INA(D/E_INB) centered at the common
mode voltage of VADUT/2.
Output Enable/Power-Down/Sleep Modes
The MAX1181 EV kit also features jumpers that allow
the user to enable or disable certain functions or the
entire data converter. Jumper JU6 controls the Sleep
mode, jumper JU7 controls a full power-down mode,
and jumper JU8 controls the outputs enable/disable
mode. Operating the ADC in these modes supports the
reduction of the IC’s overall power consumption. Refer
to Table 2 to configure the board and operate the ADC
in these modes.

Reference Voltage
The MAX1181 requires an input voltage reference at its
REFIN pin to set the full-scale analog signal voltage
input. The ADC has a stable on-chip voltage reference of
2.048V that can be accessed at REFOUT. The EV kit was
designed to use the on-chip voltage reference by con-
necting REFIN to REFOUT through resistor R20. The user
can externally adjust the reference level, and hence the
full-scale range, by installing a resistor at the R19 pad.
The adjusted reference level can be calculated by
applying the following equation:
R19
V
REFIN
=
×
V
REFOUT
R19
+
R20
where R19 is the value of the resistor installed, R20 is a
10kΩ resistor, and V
REFOUT
is 2.048V. Alternatively, the
user can apply a stable, low noise, external voltage ref-
erence directly at the REFIN pad to set the full scale.
Output Signal
The MAX1181 features two 10-bit, parallel, CMOS-com-
patible, digital outputs channels (Channels A and B).
The digital output coding can be chosen to be either in
two’s complement format or straight offset binary format
by configuring jumper JU5. Refer to Table 3 for jumper
configuration. Two drivers buffer the ADC’s Channel A
and B digital outputs. The buffer is able to drive large
capacitive loads, which may be present at the logic
analyzer connection, without compromising the digital
output signal. The outputs of the buffers are connected
to a 50-pin header (J1) located on the right side of the
EV kit, where the user can connect a logic analyzer or
data-acquisition system. Refer to Table 4 for channel
and bit location on header J1.
