19-3011; Rev 1; 2/04 KIT ATION EVALU LE B A IL A AV 15-Bit, 65Msps ADC with -79.3dBFS Noise Floor for Baseband Applications The MAX1419 is a 5V, high-speed, high-performance analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring a fully differential wideband track-and-hold (T/H) and a 15-bit converter core. The MAX1419 is optimized for multichannel, multimode receivers, which require the ADC to meet very stringent dynamic performance requirements. With a noise floor of -79.3dBFS, the MAX1427 allows for the design of receivers with superior sensitivity. The MAX1419 achieves two-tone, spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of -91dBc for input tones of 10MHz and 15MHz. Its excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 76.2dB and single-tone SFDR performance (SFDR1/SFDR2) of 93.1dBc/95.5dBc at fIN = 15MHz and a sampling rate of 65Msps make this part ideal for high-performance digital receivers. The MAX1419 operates from an analog 5V and a digital 3V supply, features a 2.56VP-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 200MHz.

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 MAX1419 is manufactured in an 8mm x 8mm, 56-pin thin QFN package with exposed paddle (EP) for low thermal resistance, and is specified for the extended industrial (-40C to +85C) temperature range. Note that IF parts MAX1418, MAX1428, and MAX1430 (see the Pin-Compatible Higher/Lower Speed Versions Selection table) are recommended for applications that require high dynamic performance for input frequencies greater than fCLK/3. The MAX1419 is optimized for input frequencies of less than fCLK/3. Ordering Information PART MAX1419ETN *EP TEMP RANGE PIN-PACKAGE -40C to +85C 56 Thin QFN-EP* = Exposed paddle.

The MAX1419 employs an input T/H amplifier, which has been optimized for low thermal noise and low distortion. The high-impedance differential inputs to the T/H amplifier (INP and INN) are self-biased at 3.38V, and support a full-scale differential input voltage of 2.56VP-P. The output of the T/H amplifier is fed to a multistage pipelined ADC core, which has also been optimized to achieve a very low thermal noise floor and low distortion. A clock buffer receives a differential input clock waveform and generates a low-jitter clock signal for the input T/H. The signal at the analog inputs is sampled at the rising edge of the differential clock waveform. The differential clock inputs (CLKP and CLKN) are highimpedance inputs, are self-biased at 2.4V, and support differential clock waveforms from 0.5VP-P to 3.0VP-P. The outputs from the multistage pipelined ADC core are delivered to error correction and formatting logicwhich in turn, deliver the 15-bit output code in two'scomplement format to digital output drivers. The output drivers provide CMOS-compatible outputs with levels programmable over a 2.3V to 3.5V range. Analog Inputs and Common Mode (INP, INN, CM) The signal inputs to the MAX1419 (INP and INN) are balanced differential inputs. This differential configuration provides immunity to common-mode noise coupling and rejection of even-order harmonic terms. The differential signal inputs to the MAX1419 should be AC-coupled and carefully balanced in order to achieve the best dynamic performance (see the Applications Information section for more detail). AC-coupling of the input signal is easily accomplished because the MAX1419 inputs are self-biasing as illustrated in Figure 2. Although the T/H inputs are high impedance, the actual differential input impedance is nominally 1k because of the two 500 bias resistors connected from each input to the common-mode reference.

Simplified Analog and Common-Mode Input Architecture The CM pin provides a monitor of the input commonmode self-bias potential. In most applications, in which the input signal is AC-coupled, this pin is not connected. If DC-coupling of the input signal is required, this pin may be used to construct a DC servo loop to control the input common-mode potential. See the Applications Information section for more details. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX1419 15-Bit, 65Msps ADC with -79.3dBFS Noise Floor for Baseband Applications On-Chip Reference Circuit Clock Inputs (CLKP, CLKN) The MAX1419 incorporates an on-chip 2.5V, low-drift bandgap reference. This reference potential establishes the full-scale range for the converter, which is nominally 2.56V P-P differential. The internal reference potential is not accessible to the user, so the full-scale range for the MAX1419 cannot be externally adjusted. The differential clock buffer for the MAX1419 has been designed to accept an AC-coupled clock waveform. Like the signal inputs, the clock inputs are self-biasing. In this case, the common-mode bias potential is 2.4V and each input is connected to the reference potential through a 1k resistor. Consequently, the differential input resistance associated with the clock inputs is 2k. While differential clock signals as low as 0.5VP-P may be used to drive the clock inputs, best dynamic performance is achieved with clock input voltage levels of 2VP-P to 3VP-P. Jitter on the clock signal translates directly to jitter (noise) on the sampled signal. Therefore, the clock source should be a low-jitter (lowphase noise) source. See the Applications Information section for additional details on driving the clock inputs. Figure 3 shows how the reference is used to generate the common-mode bias potential for the analog inputs. The common-mode input bias is set to one diode potential above the bandgap reference potential, and so varies over temperature. 500 2.5V INP/INN COMMON-MODE REFERENCE System Timing Requirements 500 1mA 1k Figure 4 depicts the timing relationships for the signal input, clock input, data output, and DAV output. The variables shown in the figure correspond to the various timing specifications in the Electrical Characteristics section.

System and Output Timing Diagram 10 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15-Bit, 65Msps ADC with -79.3dBFS Noise Floor for Baseband Applications (<10pF). Large capacitive loads result in large charging currents during data transitions, which may feed back into the analog section of the ADC and create distortion terms. The loading capacitance is kept low by keeping the output traces short and by driving a single CMOS buffer or latch input (as opposed to multiple CMOS inputs). Inserting small series resistors (220 or less) between the MAX1419 outputs and the digital load, placed as closely as possible to the output pins, is helpful in controlling the size of the charging currents during data transitions and can improve dynamic performance. Keep the trace length from the resistor to the load as short as possible to minimize trace capacitance. The output data is in two's complement format, as illustrated in Table 1. Data is valid at the rising edge of DAV (Figure 4), and DAV may be used as a clock signal to latch the output data. The DAV output provides twice the drive strength of the data outputs, and may therefore be used to drive multiple data latches. The DOR output is used to identify an overrange condition. If the input signal exceeds the positive or negative full-scale range for the MAX1419, then DOR is asserted high. The timing for DOR is identical to the timing for the data outputs, and DOR therefore provides an overrange indication on a sample-by-sample basis. Digital Outputs (D0-D14, DAV, DOR) The logic "high" level of the CMOS-compatible digital outputs (D0-D14, DAV, and DOR) may be set in the range of 2.3V to 3.5V. This is accomplished by setting the voltage at the DVCC and DRVCC pins to the desired logic-high level. Note that the DVCC and DRVCC voltages must be the same value. For best performance, the capacitive loading on the digital outputs of the MAX1419 should be kept as low as possible Table 1.

Transformer-Coupled Clock Input Configuration Applications Information Differential, AC-Coupled Clock Input The clock inputs to the MAX1419 are designed to be driven with an AC-coupled differential signal, and best performance is achieved under these conditions. However, it is often the case that the available clock source is single ended. Figure 5 demonstrates one method for converting a single-ended clock signal into a differential signal through a transformer. In this example, the transformer turns ratio from the primary to secondary side is 1:1.414. The impedance ratio from primary to secondary is the square of the turns ratio, or 1:2, so that terminating the secondary side with a 100 differential resistance results in a 50 load looking into the primary side of the transformer. The termination resistor in this example comprises the series combination of two 50 resistors with their common node ACcoupled to ground. Alternatively, a single 100 resistor across the two inputs with no common-mode connection could be employed. In the example of Figure 5, the secondary side of the transformer is coupled directly to the clock inputs. Since the clock inputs are self-biasing, the center tap of the transformer must be AC-coupled to ground or left floating. If the center tap of the secondary were DCcoupled to ground, then it would be necessary to add blocking capacitors in series with the clock inputs. Clock jitter is generally improved if the clock signal has a high slew rate at the time of its zero crossing. Therefore, if a sinusoidal source is used to drive the clock inputs, it is desirable that the clock amplitude be as large as possible to maximize the zero-crossing slew rate. The back-to-back Schottky diodes shown in Figure 5 are not required as long as the input signal is 12 held to 3VP-P differential or less. If a larger amplitude signal is provided (to maximize the zero-crossing slew rate), then the diodes serve to limit the differential signal swing at the clock inputs. Any differential mode noise coupled to the clock inputs translates to clock jitter and degrades the SNR performance of the MAX1419. Any differential mode coupling of the analog input signal into the clock inputs results in harmonic distortion. Consequently, it is important that the clock lines be well isolated from the analog signal input and from the digital outputs. See the PC Board Layout Considerations sections for more discussion on noise coupling. Differential, AC-Coupled Analog Input The analog inputs (INP and INN) are designed to be driven with a differential AC-coupled signal. It is extremely important that these inputs be accurately balanced. Any common-mode signal applied to these inputs degrade even-order distortion terms. Therefore, any attempt at driving these inputs in a single-ended fashion results in significant even-order distortion terms. Figure 6 presents one method for converting a singleended signal to a balanced differential signal using a transformer. The primary-to-secondary turns ratio in this example is 1:1.414. The impedance ratio is the square of the turns ratio, so in this example, the impedance ratio is 1:2. In order to achieve a 50 input impedance at the primary side of the transformer, the secondary side is terminated with a 112 differential load. This load, in shunt with the differential input resistance of the MAX1419, results in a 100 differential load on the secondary side. It is reasonable to use a larger transformer turns ratio in order to achieve a larger signal step-up, and this may be desirable in order to relax the drive requirements for the circuitry driving the MAX1419. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15-Bit, 65Msps ADC with -79.3dBFS Noise Floor for Baseband Applications MAX1419 AVCC DVCC DRVCC SINGLE-ENDED INPUT TERMINAL 0.1F T2-1T-KK81 INP D0-D14 56 MAX1419 15 INN 56 0.1F GND 0.01F CLKP CLKN Figure 6.

Transformer-Coupled Analog Input Configuration with Primary-Side Transformer However, the larger the turns ratio, the larger the effect of the differential input resistance of the MAX1419 on the primary referred input resistance. At a turns ratio of 1:4.47, the 1k differential input resistance of the MAX1419 by itself results in a primary referred input resistance of 50. Although the center tap of the transformer in Figure 6 is shown floating, it may be AC-coupled to ground. However experience has shown that better balance is achieved if the center tap is left floating. As stated previously, the signal inputs to the MAX1419 must be accurately balanced to achieve the best even- order distortion performance. Figure 7 provides improved balance over the circuit of Figure 6 by adding a balun on the primary side of the transformer, and can yield substantial improvement in even-order distortion terms over the circuit of Figure 6. One note of caution in relation to transformers is important. Any DC current passed through the primary or secondary windings of a transformer may magnetically bias the transformer core. When this happens, the transformer is no longer accurately balanced and a degradation in the distortion of the MAX1419 may be observed. The core must be demagnetized in order to return to balanced operation. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 MAX1419 15-Bit, 65Msps ADC with -79.3dBFS Noise Floor for Baseband Applications POSITIVE INPUT TO INP OA1 The MAX1427 evaluation board (MAX1427 EV kit) provides an excellent frame of reference for board layout, and the discussion that follows is consistent with the practices incorporated on the evaluation board. Layer Assignments RC1 RF1 RG1 OA3 FROM CM RG2 RF1 RC2 OA2 TO INN NEGATIVE INPUT Figure 8. DC-Coupled Analog Input Configuration DC-Coupled Analog Input While AC-coupling of the input signal is the proper means for achieving the best dynamic performance, it is possible to DC-couple the inputs by making use of the CM potential. Figure 8 shows one method for accomplishing DC-coupling. The common-mode potentials at the outputs of amplifiers OA1 and OA2 are "servoed" by the action of amplifier OA3 to be equal to the CM potential of the MAX1419. Care must be taken to ensure that the common-mode loop is stable, and the R F /R G ratios of both half circuits must be well matched to ensure balance. PC Board Layout Considerations The performance of any high-dynamic range, high sample-rate converter may be compromised by poor PC board layout practices. The MAX1419 is no exception to the rule, and careful layout techniques must be observed in order to achieve the specified performance. Layout issues are addressed in the following four categories: 1) Layer assignments 2) Signal routing 3) Grounding 4) Supply routing and bypassing 14 The MAX1427 EV kit is a six-layer board, and the assignment of layers is discussed in this context. It is recommended that the ground plane be on a layer between the signal routing layer and the supply routing layer(s). This practice prevents coupling from the supply lines into the signal lines. The MAX1427 EV kit PC board places the signal lines on the top (component) layer and the ground plane on layer 2. Any region on the top layer not devoted to signal routing is filled with ground plane with vias to layer 2. Layers 3 and 4 are devoted to supply routing, layer 5 is another ground plane, and layer 6 is used for the placement of additional components and for additional signal routing. A four-layer implementation is also feasible using layer 1 for signal lines, layer 2 as a ground plane, layer 3 for supply routing, and layer 4 for additional signal routing. However, care must be taken to make sure that the clock and signal lines are isolated from each other and from the supply lines. Signal Routing In order to preserve good even-order distortion, the signal lines (those traces feeding the INP and INN inputs) must be carefully balanced. To accomplish this, the signal traces should be made as symmetric as possible, meaning that each of the two signal traces should be the same length and should see the same parasitic environment. As mentioned previously, the signal lines must be isolated from the supply lines to prevent coupling from the supplies to the inputs. This is accomplished by making the necessary layer assignments as described in the previous section. Additionally, it is crucial that the clock lines be isolated from the signal lines. On the MAX1427 EV kit, this is done by routing the clock lines on the bottom layer (layer 6). The clock lines then connect to the ADC through vias placed in close proximity to the device. The clock lines are isolated from the supply lines, as well as by virtue of the ground plane on layer 5. The digital output traces should be kept as short as possible to minimize capacitive loading. The ground plane on layer 2 beneath these traces should not be removed so that the digital ground return currents have an uninterrupted path back to the bypass capacitors. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15-Bit, 65Msps ADC with -79.3dBFS Noise Floor for Baseband Applications Supply Bypassing The MAX1427 EV kit uses 220F capacitors on each supply line (AVCC, DVCC, and DRVCC) to provide lowfrequency bypassing. The loss (series resistance) associated with these capacitors is actually of some benefit in eliminating high-Q supply resonances. Ferrite BYPASSING--ADC LEVEL beads are also used on each of the supply lines to enhance supply bypassing (Figure 9). Small value (0.01F to 0.1F) surface-mount capacitors should be placed at each supply pin or each grouping of supply pins to attenuate high-frequency supply noise (Figure 9). It is recommended to place these capacitors on the topside of the board and as close to the device as possible with short connections to the ground plane. Static Parameter Definitions Integral Nonlinearity (INL) Integral nonlinearity is the deviation of the values on an actual transfer function from a straight line. This straight line can be either a best straight-line fit or a line drawn between the end points of the transfer function, once offset and gain errors have been nullified. However, the static linearity parameters for the MAX1419 are measured using the histogram method with an input frequency of 15MHz.

Grounding, Bypassing, and Decoupling Recommendations for MAX1419 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 MAX1419 Grounding The practice of providing a split ground plane in an attempt to confine digital ground return currents has often been recommended in ADC application literature. However, for converters such as the MAX1419, it is strongly recommended to employ a single, uninterrupted ground plane. The MAX1427 EV kit achieves excellent dynamic performance with such a ground plane. The EP of the MAX1419 should be soldered directly to a ground pad on layer 1 with vias to the ground plane on layer 2. This provides excellent electrical and thermal connections to the printed circuit Differential Nonlinearly (DNL) Differential nonlinearity is the difference between an actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A DNL error specification of less than 1 LSB guarantees no missing codes and a monotonic transfer function. The MAX1419's DNL specification is measured with the histogram method based on a 15MHz input tone. Dynamic Parameter Definitions Single-Tone Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) SFDR is the ratio of RMS amplitude of the carrier frequency (maximum signal component) to the RMS value of the next-largest noise or harmonic distortion component. SFDR is usually measured in dBc with respect to the carrier frequency amplitude or in dBFS with respect to the ADC's full-scale range.

For a near-full-scale analog input signal (-0.5dBFS to -1dBFS), thermal and quantization noise are uniformly distributed across the frequency bins. Error energy caused by transfer function nonlinearities on the other hand is not distributed uniformly, but confined to the first few hundred odd-order harmonics. BTS applications, which are the main target application for the MAX1419 usually do not care about excess noise and error energy in close proximity to the carrier frequency or to DC. These low-frequency and sideband errors are test system artifacts and are of no consequence to the BTS channel sensitivity. They are therefore excluded from the SNR calculation. Pin Configuration GND Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital samples, the theoretical maximum SNR is the ratio of the full-scale analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quantization error (residual error). The ideal, theoretical minimum analog-to-digital noise is caused by quantization error only and results directly from the ADC's resolution (N bits): SNRdB[max] = 6.02dB x N + 1.76dB Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) The two-tone IMD is the ratio expressed in decibels of either input tone to the worst 3rd-order (or higher) intermodulation products. The individual input tone levels are at -7dB full scale. GND Aperture Jitter The aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in the aperture delay. SFDRTT represents the ratio of the RMS value of either input tone to the RMS value of the peak spurious component in the power spectrum. This peak spur can be an intermodulation product of the two input test tones. GND Aperture delay (tAD) is the time defined between the rising edge of the sampling clock and the instant when an actual sample is taken (Figure 4).
