MAX1208
The MAX1208 is a 3.3V, 12-bit, 80Msps analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) featuring a fully differential wideband
track-and-hold (T/H) input amplifier, driving a low-noise
internal quantizer. The analog input stage accepts single-
ended or differential signals. The MAX1208 is optimized
for low power, small size, and high dynamic performance
in baseband applications.
Powered from a single 3.0V to 3.6V supply, the
MAX1208 consumes only 373mW while delivering a
typical signal-to-noise (SNR) performance of 68.2dB at
an input frequency of 32.5MHz. In addition to low oper-
ating power, the MAX1208 features a 3µW power-down
mode to conserve power during idle periods.
A flexible reference structure allows the MAX1208 to use
the internal 2.048V bandgap reference or accept an
externally applied reference. The reference structure
allows the full-scale analog input range to be adjusted
from ±0.35V to ±1.15V. The MAX1208 provides a com-
mon-mode reference to simplify design and reduce exter-
nal component count in differential analog input circuits.
The MAX1208 supports both a single-ended and differ-
ential input clock drive. Wide variations in the clock
duty cycle are compensated with the ADC’s internal
duty-cycle equalizer (DCE).
ADC conversion results are available through a 12-bit,
parallel, CMOS-compatible output bus. The digital out-
put format is pin selectable to be either two’s comple-
ment or Gray code. A data-valid indicator eliminates
external components that are normally required for reli-
able digital interfacing. A separate digital power input
accepts a wide 1.7V to 3.6V supply, allowing the
MAX1208 to interface with various logic levels.
The MAX1208 is available in a 6mm x 6mm x 0.8mm,
40-pin thin QFN package with exposed paddle (EP),
and is specified for the extended industrial (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range.
See the
Pin-Compatible Versions
table for a complete
family of 14-bit and 12-bit high-speed ADCs.

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.
