General Description
The MAX19708 is an ultra-low-power, mixed-signal ana-
log front-end (AFE) designed for TD-SCDMA handsets
and data cards. Optimized for high dynamic perfor-
mance at ultra-low power, the device integrates a dual
10-bit, 11Msps receive (Rx) ADC; dual 10-bit, 11Msps
transmit (Tx) DAC with TD-SCDMA baseband filters;
three fast-settling 12-bit aux-DAC channels for ancillary
RF front-end control; and a 10-bit, 333ksps housekeep-
ing aux-ADC. The typical operating power in Tx-Rx
FAST mode is 36.9mW at a 5.12MHz clock frequency.
The Rx ADCs feature 55dB SNR and 77.4dBc SFDR at a
1.87MHz input frequency with an 11MHz clock frequen-
cy. The analog I/Q input amplifiers are fully differential
and accept 1.024V
P-P
full-scale signals. Typical I/Q
channel matching is ±0.08° phase and ±0.02dB gain.
The Tx DACs with TD-SCDMA lowpass filters feature -3dB
cutoff frequency of 1.32MHz and > 55dB stopband rejec-
tion at f
IMAGE
= 4.32MHz. The analog I-Q full-scale output
voltage range is selectable at ±410mV or ±500mV differ-
ential. The output DC common-mode voltage is selec-
table from 0.9V to 1.4V. The I/Q channel offset is
adjustable to optimize radio lineup sideband/carrier sup-
pression. Typical I-Q channel matching is ±0.02dB gain
and ±0.04° phase.
The Rx ADC and Tx DAC share a single, 10-bit parallel,
high-speed digital bus allowing half-duplex operation
for time-division duplex (TDD) applications. A 3-wire
serial interface controls power-management modes, the
aux-DAC channels, and the aux-ADC channels.
The MAX19708 operates on a single +2.7V to +3.3V
analog supply and +1.8V to +3.3V digital I/O supply.
The MAX19708 is specified for the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range and is available in a 48-pin,
thin QFN package. The
Selector Guide
at the end of the
data sheet lists other pin-compatible versions in this
AFE 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.
