Dual, 6-Bit, 400Msps ADC with On-Chip,
Wideband Input Amplifier
General Description
The MAX107 is a dual, 6-bit, analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) designed to allow fast and precise digitizing of in-
phase (I) and quadrature (Q) baseband signals. The
MAX107 converts the analog signals of both I and Q
components to digital outputs at 400Msps while achiev-
ing a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of typically 37dB with
an input frequency of 125MHz, and an integral nonlin-
earity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.25
LSB. The MAX107 analog input preamplifiers feature a
400MHz, -0.5dB, and a 1.5GHz, -3dB analog input
bandwidth. Matching channel-to-channel performance
is typically 0.04dB gain, 0.1LSB offset, and 0.2 degrees
phase. Dynamic performance is 36.7dB signal-to-noise
plus distortion (SINAD) with a 125MHz analog input sig-
nal and a sampling speed of 400MHz. A fully differential
comparator design and encoding circuits reduce out-of-
sequence errors, and ensure excellent metastable per-
formance of only one error per 10
16
clock cycles.
In addition, the MAX107 provides LVDS digital outputs
with an internal 6:12 demultiplexer that reduces the out-
put data rate to one-half the sample clock rate. Data is
output in two’s complement format. The MAX107 oper-
ates from a +5V analog supply and the LVDS output
ports operate at +3.3V. The data converter’s typical
power dissipation is 2.6W. The device is packaged in
an 80-pin, TQFP package with exposed paddle, and is
specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C) tempera-
ture range. For a higher-speed, 800Msps version of the
MAX107, please refer to the MAX105 data sheet.

Note 1:
INL and DNL is measured using a sine-histogram method.
Note 2:
Input offset is the voltage required to cause a transition between codes 0 and -1.
Note 3:
Numbers provided are for DC-coupled case. The user has the choice of AC-coupling, in which case, the DC input voltage
level does not matter.
Note 4:
The peak-to-peak input voltage required, causing a full-scale digitized output when using a trigonometric curve-fitting algo
rithm (e.g. FFT).
Note 5:
Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 6:
Common-mode rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of the change in the offset voltage to the change in the common-mode
voltage expressed in dB.
Note 7:
Measured with analog power supplies tied to the same potential.
Note 8:
Effective number of bits (ENOB) is computed from a curve-fit referenced to the theoretical full-scale range.
Note 9:
The clock and input frequencies are chosen so that there are 2041 cycles in an 8,192-long record.
Note 10:
Signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) is measured both with the other channel idling and converting an out-of-phase signal.
The worst case number is presented. Harmonic distortion components two through five are excluded from the noise.
Note 11:
Harmonic distortion components two through five are included in the total harmonic distortion specification.
Note 12:
Both I and Q inputs are effectively tied together (e.g. driven by power splitter). Signal amplitude is -0.5dB FS at an input
frequency of f
IN
= 124.999 MHz.
Note 13:
Measured with a differential probe, 1pF capacitance.
