MAX19586/MAX19588 Evaluation Kits
General Description
The MAX19586/MAX19588 evaluation kits (EV kits) are
fully assembled and tested PCBs that contain all the
components necessary to evaluate the performance of
the MAX19586 and MAX19588. The MAX19586 is a
16-bit, 80Msps analog-to-digital converter (ADC), while
the MAX19588 is a 16-bit, 100Msps ADC. The
MAX19586/MAX19588 EV kits can accept a differential
or single-ended analog input. For applications with a
single-ended signal source, the MAX19586/MAX19588
EV kits feature an on-board transformer that converts
this signal to the required differential signal. The digital
outputs produced by the MAX19586/MAX19588 can be
captured with a logic analyzer or data-acquisition sys-
tem. The EV kits operate from a 3.3V and a 1.8V power
supply.

Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
• DC power supplies:
Analog (AVDD)
Digital (DVDD)
Logic (VL)
3.3V, 500mA
1.8V, 100mA
1.8V, 100mA
4) Connect the output of the analog bandpass filter to
the INPUT+ SMA connector on the EV kit.
5) Connect header J5 to the HP/Agilent logic analyz-
er. Alternatively, for Tektronix-type logic analyzers,
connect to headers J1, J3, and J4. To capture the
DOR bit (data over-range), connect a free logic
analyzer data line to header J2. See the
Digital
Output Signals
section in this document for bit
locations and all header designations.
6) Connect the 3.3V, 500mA power supply to the
AVDD terminal. Connect the ground terminal of this
supply to the GND terminal.
7) Connect a 1.8V, 100mA power supply to the DVDD
terminal. Connect the ground terminal of this sup-
ply to the GND terminal.
8) Connect another 1.8V, 100mA power supply to the
VL terminal. Connect the ground terminal of this
supply to the corresponding GND terminal.
9) Turn on the power supplies.
10) Enable the signal generators. Set the clock signal
generator output power to +19dBm and the fre-
quency (f
CLK
) to 80MHz for the MAX19586 EV kit,
or 100MHz for the MAX19588 EV kit. Set the analog
input signal generator output to the desired fre-
quency and amplitude. For coherent data capture,
the signal generators should be phase-locked.
Adjust the analog input signal level to overcome
cable and filter losses that may exist in the signal’s
input path. Note that the ADC full scale is
+9.1dBm.
11) Enable the logic analyzer and start collecting data.

• Signal generator with low phase noise and low jitter
for clock input (e.g., HP/Agilent 8644B)
• Signal generator for analog signal input (e.g.,
HP/Agilent 8644B)
• Analog bandpass filters for input signal and clock
signal (e.g., Allen Avionics, K&L Microwave)
• Logic analyzer or data-acquisition system (e.g., HP/
Agilent 16500C, Tektronix TLA621)
Note: The
Quick Start
procedure in this section
only provides a quick functional check for the
MAX19586/MAX19588 EV kits. To verify the full
dynamic performance of the MAX19586/MAX19588,
refer to the
Testing the MAX1958_
sections in the
respective IC data sheets.
Procedure
The MAX19586/MAX19588 EV kits are fully assembled
and tested PCBs. Follow the steps below to verify
board operation (Figure 1).
Caution: Do not turn on
power supplies or enable signal generators until all
connections are completed.
1) Connect the output of the clock signal generator to
the input of the clock bandpass filter.
2) Connect the output of the clock bandpass filter to
the CLOCK SMA connector on the EV kit.
3) Connect the output of the analog signal generator
to the input of the analog bandpass filter.

MAX19586/MAX19588 Evaluation Kits
Evaluate: MAX19586/MAX19588
Detailed Description
The MAX19586/MAX19588 EV kits are fully assembled
and tested PCBs that contain all the components nec-
essary to evaluate the performance of the MAX19586
or the MAX19588 ADCs. Digital data generated by the
ADCs is captured on a 16-bit bus (+ DOR bit). The EV
kits can be evaluated with a maximum clock frequency
(f
CLK
) of 80MHz for the MAX19586, or 100Msps for the
MAX19588.
The EV kits are designed as six-layer PCBs to optimize
the performance of the converter. The EV kits are
specified to have 3.3V and 1.8V power supplies
applied to the analog (AVDD) and digital (DVDD, VL)
power planes, respectively.
The digital outputs are available on connectors J5 or
J3 and J4. J5 is a 40-pin connector, which can directly
interface with a user-provided logic analyzer or data-
acquisition system. The digital output clock signal,
which is used to synchronize the output data to the
logic analyzer, is available at the CLKO pins on J5-3
and J1-1.
Reference Voltage
The full-scale range for the MAX19586/MAX19588 is
set to 2.56V
P-P
by an internal reference voltage. The
MAX19586/MAX19588’s internal reference voltage is
1.28V, and can be monitored at the REFOUT pad on
the EV kit. To use the internal reference voltage, the
reference input (REFIN) must be connected to the ref-
erence output (REFOUT) through resistor R12.
The MAX19586/MAX19588 EV kits also provide a
REFIN pad, allowing an external reference source to
be connected to the ADC. An external reference
source can be in the range of 1.28V ±10%.
Clock
A user-provided single-ended clock signal is convert-
ed to a differential clock signal through transformer T3.
To reduce clock jitter, the clock signal should have
high slew rates at its zero crossings. A large clock sig-
nal amplitude can be used to maximize the slew rate at
its zero crossings. Diode D1 limits the differential sig-
nal swing at the clock input when a large clock signal
is used to maximize the slew rate. The
MAX19586/MAX19588 EV kits are tested with a
+16dBm to +19dBm clock signal, with about 6dB loss
in the bandpass filter that follows the clock
signal generator.
Power Supplies
The MAX19586/MAX19588 EV kits require separate
analog and digital power supplies. A 3.3V power sup-
ply is used to power the analog portion of the ADC.
Two separate 1.8V power supplies are recommended:
DVDD powers the digital portion of the
MAX19586/MAX19588, and VL powers the buffer/
driver U2.
Analog Input Signal
The MAX19586/MAX19588 require a differential analog
input signal of less than or equal to +9.1dBm (2.56V
P-P
into 100Ω). The EV kits feature on-board transformer

T1 that converts the output of a user-provided single-
ended signal to a differential signal for the ADC.
Transformer T1 has a primary-to-secondary turns ratio
of 1:1.414. Therefore, the single-ended signal should
have a power level of less than or equal to +9.1dBm
(1.81V
P-P
into 50Ω). Cable and bandpass filter losses
affect the amplitude of the received signal at the ADC.
Therefore, account for these losses when configuring
the signal input generator amplitude.
The EV kits accept a fully differential input signal after
making the following modifications:
• Cut the trace between resistor R1 PCB pads.
• Remove transformers T1 and T2.
• Install a 0.1µF (0603) ceramic capacitor on C2.
• Install 0Ω (0603) resistors on R2, R3, R4, and R5.
• Install an SMA connector on the INPUT- PCB
footprint.
applied to a latch that is capable of driving large
capacitive loads that may be present at the logic ana-
lyzer connection. The outputs of the buffer are con-
nected to two sets of connectors. The first set of con-
nectors includes J1 for the digital output clock signal,
J2 for the DOR bit, J3 and J4 for the digital output sig-
nals. This set of connectors accommodates the data-
acquisition and logic-analyzer systems such as
Tektronix’s TLA621. The second set of connectors con-
sists of a single 40-pin header, J5, which provides all
signals, except for the DOR bit, for logic-analyzer sys-
tems such as HP/Agilent 16500C. See Table 1 for
headers J1–J5 bit locations.
Note that a poor-quality connection may lead to
apparent performance degradation. To optimize
dynamic performance, avoid using “flying” (or indi-
vidual) lead logic-analyzer probes for collecting data
from the MAX19586/MAX19588 EV kits.
