MAX1446
The MAX1446 10-bit, 3V analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) features a fully differential input, a pipelined 10-
stage ADC architecture with digital error correction and
wideband track and hold (T/H) incorporating a fully dif-
ferential signal path. This ADC is optimized for low-
power, high dynamic performance applications in
imaging and digital communications. The MAX1446
operates from a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply, consuming
only 90mW while delivering a 59.5dB signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) at a 20MHz input frequency. The fully differ-
ential input stage has a 400MHz, -3dB bandwidth and
may be operated with single-ended inputs. In addition
to low operating power, the MAX1446 features a 5µA
power-down mode for idle periods.
An internal 2.048V precision bandgap reference is used
to set the ADC full-scale range. A flexible reference
structure allows the user to supply a buffered, direct or
externally derived reference for applications requiring
increased accuracy or a different input voltage range.
Lower and higher speed, pin-compatible versions of
the MAX1446 are also available. Refer to the MAX1444
data sheet for a 40Msps version, the MAX1448 data
sheet for an 80Msps version, and the MAX1449 data
sheet for a 105Msps version.
The MAX1446 has parallel, offset binary, three-state
outputs that can be operated from 1.7V to 3.3V to allow
flexible interfacing. The device is available in a 5mm x
5mm, 32-pin TQFP package and is specified over the
extended industrial (-40°C to +85°C) and automotive
(-40°C to +105°C) temperature ranges.

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.

Note 1:
SNR, SINAD, THD, SFDR, and HD3 are based on an analog input voltage of -0.5dBFS referenced to a 1.024V full-scale
input voltage range.
Note 2:
Intermodulation distortion is the total power of the intermodulation products relative to the individual carrier. This number is
6dB better, if referenced to the two-tone envelope.
Note 3:
Digital outputs settle to V
IH
, V
IL
.
Note 4:
Wake-up time is defined as the time from complete reference power-down until the ADC performs within 0.3 ENOB of the
final performance for f
IN
= 10MHz at -0.5dBFS input amplitude. V
REFIN
= 2.048V, REFP, REFN, and CML decoupled with
2.3µF.
Note 5:
Dynamic characteristics guaranteed at f
IN
= 19.943MHz for the specified duty-cycle range.
Note 6:
Guaranteed by design and engineering characterization.
