General Description
The MAX12527/MAX12528/MAX12529/MAX12557/
MAX12558/MAX12559 evaluation kits (EV kits) are fully
assembled and tested circuit boards that contain all the
components necessary to evaluate the performance of
this family of 12-bit and 14-bit, dual analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs). These ADCs accept differential
analog input signals. The EV kits generate these signals
from user-provided single-ended input sources. The
digital outputs produced by the ADCs can be easily
sampled with a user-provided high-speed logic analyzer
or data-acquisition system. The EV kits operate from
2.0V and 3.3V power supplies.

Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
DC power supplies:
Analog (VDD) 3.3V, 500mA
Digital (OVDD) 2.0V, 50mA
Buffers (VLOGIC) 2.0V, 100mA
Signal generator with low phase noise and low
jitter for clock input signal (e.g., HP/Agilent 8644B)
Two signal generators with low phase noise for
analog signal inputs (e.g., HP/Agilent 8644B)
Logic analyzer or data-acquisition system (e.g.,
HP/Agilent 16500C)
Narrow-band analog bandpass filters (e.g., Allen
Avionics, K&L Microwave) for input signals and
clock signal
Digital multimeter
Procedure
The EV kit is a fully assembled and tested printed cir-
cuit (PC) board. Follow the steps below to verify board
operation. Do not turn on power supplies or enable
signal generators until all connections are completed.
1) Verify that shunts are installed in the following locations:
JU1 (2-3) Independent reference mode
JU2 (2-3) ADC active (not in power-down mode)
JU3 (2-3) Outputs in twos-complement format
JU4 (1-2) Differential clock input
JU5 (2-3) No clock division
JU6 (2-3) No clock division
2) Connect the clock signal generator to the input of
the clock bandpass filter.
3) Connect the output of the clock bandpass filter to
the SMA connector labeled J7.
4) Connect the analog input signal generators to the
inputs of the desired analog bandpass filters. For best
results, connect the bandpass filter directly to the SMA
connector and forego any cables in between.
5) Connect the output of the analog bandpass filters to
the SMA connectors labeled J1 and J2. The analog
input signals can be monitored at J3 and J4.
Eliminate cables between bandpass filter outputs
and SMA connectors. If cables must be used, they
should be as short as possible. Add a 3dB to 6dB
attenuator between bandpass filter and SMA con-
nectors to control undesired distortion components
induced by the signal generator.
6) Connect the logic analyzer to headers J5 and J6 to
collect digitized data from channels A and B. See
the Output Bit Locations section in this document
for header connections.
7) Connect a 3.3V, 500mA power supply to VDD and
connect its ground terminal to the GND pad.
8) Connect a 2.0V, 50mA power supply to OVDD and
connect its ground terminal to the GND pad.
9) Connect a 2.0V, 100mA power supply to VLOGIC
and connect its ground terminal to the GND pad.
10) Short the VCLK pad to the corresponding GND
pad. Note: The VCLK supply is only required when
the data converter is operating in single-ended
clock mode. See the Configuring the EV Kit for
Single-Ended Clock Operation section in this docu-
ment for further details.
11) Turn on all the power supplies.
12) Enable the signal generators.
13) Set the clock signal generator to the desired clock
frequency. See the Part Selection Table for the
appropriate frequency settings for each EV kit. The
amplitude of the generator should be sufficient to
produce a 16dBm signal at the SMA input of the EV
kit. Insertion losses due to the series-connected fil-
ter (step 2) and the interconnecting cables
decrease the amount of power seen at the EV kit
input. Account for these losses when setting the
signal generator amplitude.
14) Set the analog input signal generators to output the
desired test frequency. The amplitude of the gener-
ator should produce a signal that is no larger than
7.5dBm as measured at the SMA input of the EV kit.
Insertion losses due to the series-connected filter
(step 5) and the interconnecting cables decrease
the amount of power seen at the EV kit input.
Account for these losses when setting the signal
generator amplitude. Also account for the attenua-
tion from the 3dB to 6dB attenuator.
15) All signal generators should be phase-locked to
each other.
16) Enable the logic analyzer.
17) Collect data using the logic analyzer.
Detailed Description
The EV kit is a fully assembled and tested circuit board
that contains all the components necessary to evaluate
the performance of the MAX12527, MAX12528,
MAX12529, MAX12557, MAX12558, or MAX12559.
The ADCs accept differential input signals; however, on-
board transformers (T1T4) convert a readily available sin-
gle-ended source output to the required differential signal.
The input signals of the ADC can be measured using a
differential oscilloscope probe at headers J3 and J4.
Output drivers (U2 and U3) buffer the output signals of
the data converter. The digital outputs of the EV kit are
accessible at headers J5 and J6.
The EV kits are designed as a four-layer PC board to
optimize the performance of this family of ADCs.
Separate analog, digital, clock, and buffer power
planes minimize noise coupling between analog and
digital signals. 100differential microstrip transmission
lines are used for analog and clock inputs. 50
microstrip transmission lines are used for all digital out-
puts. The trace lengths of the 100differential input
lines are matched to within a few thousandths of an
inch to minimize layout-dependent input-signal skew.
Power Supplies
For best performance, the EV kits require separate analog,
digital, clock, and buffer power-supply sources. Individual
3.3V and 2.0V power supplies are recommended to
power the analog (VDD) and digital (OVDD) portions of
the converter. A separate 2.0V power supply (VLOGIC) is
used to power the output buffers (U2, U3) of the EV kit.
The on-board clock circuitry (VCLK) is powered by a 3.3V
power supply. The VCLK supply is only required when the
ADC is operating in single-ended clock mode. See the
Configuring the EV Kit for Single-Ended Clock Operation
section for further details.
Converter Power-Down
The MAX12527, MAX12528, MAX12529, MAX12557,
MAX12558, and MAX12559 each feature an active-high
global device power-down pin. Jumper JU2 controls
this feature. See Table 1 for shunt positions.
Clock
Additionally, the data converter allows for either differ-
ential or single-ended signals to drive the clock inputs.
The MAX12527/MAX12528/MAX12529/MAX12557/
MAX12558/MAX12559 EV kits support both methods.
In single-ended operation, the clock signal is applied to
the ADC through a buffer (U5). In differential mode, an
on-board transformer converts a user-provided single-
ended analog input and generates a differential analog
signal, which is then applied to the ADCs input pins.
Jumper JU4 controls the ADC clock input. See Table 2
for jumper configuration.

Configuring the EV Kits for
Single-Ended Clock Operation
To configure the MAX12527/MAX12528/MAX12529/
MAX12557/MAX12558/MAX12559 EV kits for single-
ended clock operation, the following modifications must
be made to the clock circuit:
1) Cut the trace at locations R41, R43, and R44.
2) Install 0resistors at locations R40, R42, and R45.
3) Install a 49.9±1% resistor at location R37.
4) Connect a 3.3V power supply to VCLK (needs to be
capable of sourcing up to 10mA output current).
Connect the ground terminal of this supply to GND.
In single-ended clock configuration, potentiometer R48
can be utilized to control the duty cycle of the clock
input signal. Measure the clock input at J8 and adjust
R48 until the desired duty cycle is achieved.
Clock-Divider Control
The MAX12527, MAX12528, MAX12529, MAX12557,
MAX12558, and MAX12559 each feature internal
divide-by-2/divide-by-4 clock-divider circuitry (DIV2,
DIV4). Jumpers JU5 and JU6 control this circuitry.
Refer to the individual ADC data sheets for a detailed
explanation of the internal clock divider. See Table 3 for
jumper configuration.
Input Signal
Although this family of ADCs accepts differential analog
input signals, the EV kit only requires single-ended ana-
log input signals, with amplitudes less than 7.5dBm.
Insertion losses due to a series-connected filter and the
interconnecting cables decrease the amount of power
seen at the EV kit input. Account for these losses when
setting the signal generator amplitude. On-board trans-
formers (T1T4) convert the single-ended analog input
signals and generate the recommended differential
analog signals at the ADCs differential input pins.
Optimizing the Analog Input Network for
Different Input Frequencies
The EV kits are designed for excellent AC performance
across a broad 3MHz to 400MHz input frequency range.
The design can be further optimized by adjusting compo-
nents C7C10 and R49R52. See Table 4 for the appropri-
ate component values for specific input frequency ranges.
Reference
The MAX12527, MAX12528, MAX12529, MAX12557,
MAX12558, and MAX12559 feature numerous refer-
ence operation modes. The default EV kit configuration
connects the ADCs internal 2.048V reference output to
the reference input. In this case, the converter gener-
ates the REFN, REFP, and COM voltages from this
input (refer to the individual ADCs data sheet for a
more detailed explanation).
To apply a user-supplied reference, cut the trace at
location R33 and connect the desired external refer-
ence to the REFIN pad. Alternatively, the EV kit can be
configured to use a divided internal reference value. If
the desired reference voltage is less than 2.048V, cut
the trace at location R33 and install resistors in loca-
tions R33 and R34. Calculate the resistor values from
the equations below:
R33 = RT- R34
where:
VREF = desired reference voltage
VREFOUT = ADCs internal reference voltage of 2.048V

Shared Reference Mode
To maximize isolation between the two input channels,
the MAX12527, MAX12528, MAX12529, MAX12557,
MAX12558, and MAX12559 feature two independent
references. To improve channel matching this family of
ADCs provides a mode where both input channels
share the same reference. Jumper JU1 controls this
shared reference feature. See Table 5 for the desired
jumper configuration.
Alternative Reference Mode
The MAX12527, MAX12528, MAX12529, MAX12557,
MAX12558, and MAX12559 derive their REFP, REFN,
and COM voltages from the REFIN input. To override
these derived voltages, follow the board modifications
given below.
1) Cut the trace at location R33.
2) Remove resistor R34 (not installed by default).
3) Connect the REFIN pad to GND.
4) Apply the desired voltages to test points TP1TP6.
See Table 6 for a detailed description of test point connections.
Output Signal
The MAX12527, MAX12528, and MAX12529 feature two
12-bit, parallel, CMOS-compatible digital outputs that
transmit the converted analog input signals. The higher-
resolution MAX12557, MAX12558, and MAX12559 fea-
ture two 14-bit, parallel, CMOS-compatible digital outputs
that transmit the converted analog input signals. Each set
of 12-bit or 14-bit digital outputs also includes a clock
(CLK) bit and overrange (DORA/B) bit to accommodate
data synchronization and error detection. See the Output
Bit Locations section for more details on how to configure
these 12-bit and 14-bit converter outputs.
Output Format
Set the digital output coding to either twos-comple-
ment or Gray code, by configuring jumper JU3. See
Table 7 for the jumper configuration.

Output Bit Locations
Two drivers (U2 and U3) buffer the digital outputs of
the individual ADCs. These drivers can drive large
capacitive loads, which may be present at the logic
analyzer connection. The outputs of the buffers are
connected to 40-pin headers J5 and J6. See Table 8
(14-bit ADCs) and Table 9 (12-bit ADCs) for bit loca-
tions of headers J5 and J6.
