MAX1418
The MAX1418 is a 5V, high-speed, high-performance
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring a fully differ-
ential wideband track-and-hold (T/H) and a 15-bit con-
verter core. The MAX1418 is optimized for multichannel,
multimode receivers, which require the ADC to meet very
stringent dynamic performance requirements. With a
noise floor of -78.2dBFS, the MAX1418 allows for the
design of receivers with superior sensitivity.
The MAX1418 achieves two-tone, spurious-free dynamic
range (SFDR) of -85dBc for input tones of 69MHz and
71MHz. Its excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 73.6dB
and single-tone SFDR performance (SFDR1/SFDR2) of
88dBc/92dBc at f
IN
= 70MHz and a sampling rate of
65Msps make this part ideal for high-performance digital
receivers.
The MAX1418 operates from an analog 5V and a digital
3V supply, features a 2.56V
P-P
full-scale input range,
and allows for a sampling speed of up to 65Msps. The
input T/H operates with a -1dB full-power bandwidth of
260MHz.
The MAX1418 features parallel, CMOS-compatible out-
puts in two’s-complement format. To enable the interface
with a wide range of logic devices, this ADC provides a
separate output driver power-supply range of 2.3V to
3.5V. The MAX1418 is manufactured in an 8mm x 8mm,
56-pin QFN package with exposed paddle (EP) for low
thermal resistance, and is specified for the extended
industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
Note that IF parts MAX1418, MAX1428, and MAX1430
(see
Pin-Compatible Higher/Lower Speed Versions
Selection
table) are recommended for applications that
require high dynamic performance for input frequen-
cies greater than f
CLK
/3. Unlike its baseband counter-
part MAX1419, the MAX1418 is optimized for input
frequencies greater than f
CLK
/3.

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
