MAX1215N
The MAX1215N is a monolithic, 12-bit, 250Msps ana-
log-to-digital converter (ADC) optimized for outstanding
dynamic performance at high-IF frequencies beyond
300MHz. The product operates with conversion rates
up to 250Msps while consuming only 886mW.
At 250Msps and an input frequency of 100MHz, the
MAX1215N achieves an 84.7dBc spurious-free dynam-
ic range (SFDR) with e6.7dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
that remains flat (within 2dB) for input tones up to
250MHz. This makes it ideal for wideband applications
such as communications receivers, cable-head end
receivers, and power-amplifier predistortion in cellular
base-station transceivers (BTS).
The MAX1215N operates from a single 1.8V power sup-
ply. The analog input is designed for AC-coupled differ-
ential or single-ended operation. The ADC also features a
selectable on-chip divide-by-2 clock circuit that accepts
clock frequencies as high as 500MHz. A low-voltage dif-
ferential signal (LVDS) sampling clock is recommended
for best performance. The converter provides LVDS-com-
patible digital outputs with data format selectable to be
either two’s complement or offset binary.
The MAX1215N is available in a 68-pin QFN package
with exposed paddle (EP) and is specified over the indus-
trial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
See the
Pin-Compatible Versions
table for a complete
selection of 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit high-speed ADCs
in this family.

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.
