MAX107ECS+T - Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.

General Description

The MAX107 is a dual, 6-bit, analog-to-digital converter

(ADC) designed to allow fast and precise digitizing of in-

phase (I) and quadrature (Q) baseband signals. The

MAX107 converts the analog signals of both I and Q

components to digital outputs at 400Msps while achiev-

ing a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of typically 37dB with

an input frequency of 125MHz, and an integral nonlin-

earity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.25

LSB. The MAX107 analog input preamplifiers feature a

400MHz, -0.5dB, and a 1.5GHz, -3dB analog input

bandwidth. Matching channel-to-channel performance

is typically 0.04dB gain, 0.1LSB offset, and 0.2 degrees

phase. Dynamic performance is 36.7dB signal-to-noise

plus distortion (SINAD) with a 125MHz analog input sig-

nal and a sampling speed of 400MHz. A fully differential

comparator design and encoding circuits reduce out-of-

sequence errors, and ensure excellent metastable per-

formance of only one error per 1016 clock cycles.

In addition, the MAX107 provides LVDS digital outputs

with an internal 6:12 demultiplexer that reduces the out-

put data rate to one-half the sample clock rate. Data is

output in two’s complement format. The MAX107 oper-

ates from a +5V analog supply and the LVDS output

ports operate at +3.3V. The data converter’s typical

power dissipation is 2.6W. The device is packaged in

an 80-pin, TQFP package with exposed paddle, and is

specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C) tempera-

ture range. For a higher-speed, 800Msps version of the

MAX107, please refer to the MAX105 data sheet.

Note 1: INL and DNL is measured using a sine-histogram method.

Note 2: Input offset is the voltage required to cause a transition between codes 0 and -1.

Note 3: Numbers provided are for DC-coupled case. The user has the choice of AC-coupling, in which case, the DC input voltage

level does not matter.

Note 4: The peak-to-peak input voltage required, causing a full-scale digitized output when using a trigonometric curve-fitting algo

rithm (e.g. FFT).

Note 5: Guaranteed by design and characterization.

Note 6: Common-mode rejection ratio is defined as the ratio of the change in the offset voltage to the change in the common-mode

voltage expressed in dB.

Note 7: Measured with analog power supplies tied to the same potential.

Note 8: Effective number of bits (ENOB) is computed from a curve-fit referenced to the theoretical full-scale range.

Note 9: The clock and input frequencies are chosen so that there are 2041 cycles in an 8,192-long record.

Note 10: Signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) is measured both with the other channel idling and converting an out-of-phase signal.

The worst case number is presented. Harmonic distortion components two through five are excluded from the noise.

Note 11: Harmonic distortion components two through five are included in the total harmonic distortion specification.

Note 12: Both I and Q inputs are effectively tied together (e.g. driven by power splitter). Signal amplitude is -0.5dB FS at an input

frequency of fIN = 124.999 MHz.

Note 13: Measured with a differential probe, 1pF capacitance.

Detailed Description

The MAX107 is a dual, +5V, 6-bit, 400Msps flash ana-

log-to-digital converter (ADC), designed for high-speed,

high bandwidth I&Q digitizing. Each ADC (Figure 1)

employs a fully differential, wide bandwidth input stage,

6-bit quantizers and a unique encoding scheme to limit

metastable states to typically one error per 1016 clock

cycles, with no error exceeding a maximum of 1LSB. An

integrated 6:12 output demultiplexer simplifies interfac-

ing to the part by reducing the output data rate to one-

half the sampling clock rate. The MAX107 outputs data

in LVDS two’s complement format.

When clocked at 400Msps, the MAX107 provides a typ-

ical signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) of 36.7dB

with a 125MHz input tone. The analog input of the

MAX107 is designed for differential or single-ended use

with a ±400mV full-scale input range. In addition, the

MAX107 features an on-board +2.5V precision

bandgap reference, which is scaled to meet the analog

input full-scale range.

Principle of Operation

The MAX107 employs a flash or parallel architecture.

The key to this high-speed flash architecture is the use

of an innovative, high-performance comparator design.

Each quantizer and downstream logic translates the

comparator outputs into 6-bit, parallel codes in two’s

complement format and passes them on to the internal

6:12 demultiplexer. The demultiplexer enables the

ADCs to provide their output data at half the sampling

speed on primary and auxiliary ports. LVDS data is

available at speeds of up to 200MHz per output port.

Input Amplifier Circuits

As with all ADCs, if the input waveform is changing

rapidly during conversion, effective number of bits

(ENOB), signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD), and

signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) specifications will degrade.

fiers (I&Q) reduce this effect significantly, allowing pre-

cise digitizing of fast analog data at high conversion

rates. The input amplifiers buffer the input signal and

allow a full-scale signal input range of ±400mV

(800mVp-p).

Internal Reference

The MAX107 features an integrated, buffered +2.5V

precision bandgap reference. This reference is internal-

ly scaled to match the analog input range specification

of ±400mV. The data converter’s reference output

(REF) can source up to 500µA. REF should be buffered,

if used to supply external devices.

LVDS Digital Outputs

The MAX107 provides data in two’s complement format

to differential LVDS outputs. A simplified circuit

schematic of the LVDS output cells is shown in Figure

2. All LVDS outputs are powered from separate I-chan-

nel OVCCI and Q-channel OVCCQ (Q-channel) power

supplies, which may be operated at +3.3V ±10%. The

MAX107 LVDS-outputs provide a typical ±270mV volt-

age swing around a common mode voltage of roughly

end of each transmission line pair (true and comple-

mentary) with 100Ω.

Out-Of-Range Operation

A single output pair (DOR+, DOR-) is provided to flag

an out-of-range condition, if either the I or Q channel is

out-of-range, where out-of-range is above +FS or below

-FS. It features the same latency as the ADCs output

data and is demultiplexed in a similar fashion. With a

400MHz system clock, DOR+ and DOR- are clocked at

up to 200MHz.

Applications Information

Single-Ended Analog Inputs

The MAX107 is designed to work at full-speed for both

single-ended and differential analog inputs without sig-

nificant degradation in its dynamic performance. Both

input channels I (INI+, INI-) and Q (INQ+, INQ-) have

2kΩimpedance and allow for AC- and DC-coupled

input signals. In a typical DC-coupled single-ended

configuration (Table 1), the analog input signals enter

the analog input amplifier stages at the in-phase-input

pins INI+/INQ+, while the inverted phase input INI-

/INQ- pins are AC-coupled to AGNDI/AGNDQ. Single-

ended operation allows for an input amplitude of

800mVp-p, centered around VREF.

Differential Analog Inputs

To obtain +FS digital outputs with differential input drive

(Table 2), 400mV must be applied between INI+ (INQ+)

and INI- (INQ-). Midscale digital output codes occur

when there is no voltage difference between INI+

(INQ+) and INI- (INQ-). For a -FS digital output code

both in-phase (INI+, INQ+) and inverted input (INI-,

INQ-) must see -400mV.

Single-Ended to Differential

Conversion Using a Balun

An RF balun (Figure 3) provides an excellent solution to

convert a single-ended signal to a fully differential sig-

nal, required by the MAX107 for optimum performance.

At higher frequencies, the MAX107 provides better

SFDR and THD with fully differential input signals over

single-ended input signals. In differential input mode,

even-order harmonics are suppressed and each input

requires only half the signal-swing compared to single-

ended mode.

Clock Input

The MAX107 features clock inputs designed for either

single-ended or differential operation with very flexible

input drive requirements. The clock inputs (AC- or DC-

coupled) provide a 5kΩinput impedance to AVCC/2

and are internally buffered with a preamplifier to ensure

proper operation of the converter even with small-

amplitude sine-wave sources. The MAX107 was

designed for single-ended, low-phase noise sine-wave

clock signals with as little as 500mVp-p amplitude

(-2dBm).

Single-Ended Clock (Sine-Wave Drive)

Excellent performance is obtained by AC- or DC-cou-

pling a low-phase noise sine-wave source into a single

clock input (Figure 4). Essentially, the dynamic perfor-

mance of the converter is unaffected by clock-drive

power levels from -2dBm (500mVp-p clock signal

amplitude) to +10dBm (2Vp-p clock signal amplitude).

The MAX107 dynamic performance specifications are

determined by a single-ended clock drive of -2dBm

(500mVp-p clock signal amplitude). To avoid saturation

of the input amplifier stage, limit the clock power level

to a maximum of +10dBm.

Differential Clock (Sine-Wave Drive)

The advantages of differential clock drive (Figure 5)

can be obtained by using an appropriate balun or

transformer to convert single-ended sine-wave sources

into differential drives. Refer to Single-Ended Clock

Inputs (Sine-Wave Drive) for proper input amplitude

requirements.

LVDS, ECL and PECL Clock

The innovative input architecture of the MAX107 clock

also allows these inputs to be driven by LVDS-, ECL- or

PECL-compatible input levels, ranging from 500mVp-p

to 2Vp-p (Figure 6).

Timing Requirements

The MAX107 features a 6:12 demultiplexer, which

reduces the output data rate (including DREADY and

DOR signals) to one-half of the sample clock rate. The

demultiplexed outputs are presented in dual 6-bit two’s

complement format with two consecutive samples in

the primary and auxiliary output ports on the rising

always contains the older sample. The primary output

always contains the most recent data sample, regard-

less of the DREADY clock phase. Figure 7 shows the

timing and data alignment of the auxiliary and primary

output ports in relationship with the CLK and DREADY

signals. Data in the primary port is delayed by five

clock cycles while data in the auxiliary port is delayed

by six clock cycles.

Typical I/Q Application

Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is frequently

used in digital communication systems to increase

channel capacity. A QAM signal is modulated in both

amplitude and phase. With a demodulator, this QAM

signal gets downconverted and separated in its in-

phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components. Both I&Q

channels are digitized by an ADC at the baseband

level in order to recover the transmitted information.

Figure 8 shows a typical application circuit to directly

tune L-band signals to baseband, incorporating a

direct conversion tuner (MAX2108) and the MAX107 to

digitize I&Q channels with excellent phase- and gain-

matching. A front-end L-C filter is required for anti-alias-

ing purposes.

Grounding, Bypassing,

and Board Layout

Grounding and power supply decoupling strongly influ-

ence the MAX107’s performance. At 400MHz clock fre-

quency and 6-bit resolution, unwanted digital crosstalk

may couple through the input, reference, power supply,

ground connections, and adversely influence the

dynamic performance of the ADC. In addition, the I&Q

inputs may crosstalk through poorly designed decou-

pling circuits. Therefore, closely follow the grounding

and power-supply decoupling guidelines in Figure 9.

Maxim strongly recommends using a multilayer printed

circuit board (PC board) with separate ground and

power supply planes. Since the MAX107 has separate

analog and digital ground connections (AGND, AGNDI,

AGNDQ, AGNDR, OGNDI, and OGNDQ, respectively).

The PC board should feature separate sections desig-

nated to analog (AGND) and digital (OGND), connect-

ed at only one point. Digital signals should run above

the digital ground plane and analog signals should run

above the analog ground plane. Keep digital signals far

away from the sensitive analog inputs, reference inputs,

and clock inputs. High-speed signals, including clocks,

analog inputs, and digital outputs, should be routed on

50Ωmicrostrip lines, such as those employed on the

MAX105EV kit.

The MAX107 has separate analog and digital power-

supply inputs:

•AVCC = +5V ±5%: Power supply for the analog

input section of the clock circuit.

•AVCCI = +5V ±5%: Power supply for the I-channel

common-mode buffer, pre-amp and quantizer.

•AVCCQ = +5V ±5%: Power supply for the Q-chan-

nel common-mode buffer, pre-amp and quantizer.

•AVCCR = +5V ±5%: Power supply for the on-chip

bandgap reference.

•OVCCI = +3.3V ±10%: Power supply for the I-chan-

nel output drivers and DREADY circuitry.

•OVCCQ = +3.3V ±10%: Power supply for the

Q-channel output drivers and DOR circuitry.

All supplies should be decoupled with large tantalum or

electrolytic capacitors at the point they enter the PC

board. For best performance, bypass all power sup-

plies to the appropriate ground with a 10µF tantalum

with high quality 47pF ceramic chip capacitor located

very close to the MAX107 device filters high frequency

noise. A properly designed PC board (see MAX105EV

Kit data sheet) allows the user to connect all analog

supplies and all digital supplies together thereby

requiring only two separate power sources. Decoupling

AVCC, AVCCI, AVCCQ and AVCCR with ferrite-bead

suppressors prevents further crosstalk between the

individual analog supply pins

tion-case (θjc) resistance of ≈1.26°C/W. In this pack-

age, the data converter die is attached to an exposed

pad (EP) leadframe using a thermally conductive

epoxy. The package is molded in a way, that this lead-

frame is exposed at the surface, facing the printed cir-

cuit board (PC board) side of the package (Figure 10).

This allows the package to be attached to the PC board

with standard infrared (IR) flow soldering techniques. A

specially created land pattern on the PC board, match-

ing the size of the EP (7.5mm x 7.5mm) does not only

guarantee proper attachment of the chip, but can also

be used for heat-sinking purposes. Designing thermal

vias* into the land area and implementing large ground

planes in the PC board design, further enhance the

thermal conductivity between board and package. To

remove heat from an 80-pin TQFP package efficiently,

an array of 6 x 6 vias (≤0.3mm diameter per via hole

and 1.2mm pitch between via holes) is required.

Note: Efficient thermal management for the MAX107 is

strongly depending on PC board and circuit design,

component placement, and installation. Therefore,

exact performance figures cannot be provided.

However, the MAX105EV kit exhibits a typical θja of

18°C/W. For more information on proper design tech-

niques and recommendations to enhance the thermal

performance of parts such as the MAX107, please refer

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 is drawn between the endpoints of the transfer

function, once offset and gain errors have been nulli-

fied. The static linearity parameters for the MAX107 are

measured using the sine-histogram method.

Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)

Differential nonlinearity is the difference between an

actual step-width and the ideal value of 1LSB. A DNL

error specification of greater than -1LSB guarantees no

missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.

Dynamic Parameter Definitions

Aperture Jitter and Delay

Aperture uncertainties affect the dynamic performance

of high-speed converters. Aperture jitter, in particular,

directly influences SNR and limits the maximum slew

rate (dV/dt) that can be digitized without significant

error. Aperture jitter limits the SNR performance of the

ADC according to the following relationship:

SNRdB = 20 x log10 [1 / (2 x πx fIN x tAJ[RMS])],

where fIN represents the analog input frequency and

tAJ is the RMS aperture jitter. The MAX107’s innovative

clock design limits aperture jitter to typically 1.5psRMS.

Figure 11 depicts the aperture jitter (tAJ), which is the

sample-to-sample variation in the aperture delay.

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 11).

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 quantiza-

tion error only and results directly from the ADC’s reso-

lution (N-Bits):

SNRMAX[dB] = 6.02dB x N + 1.76dB

In reality, there are other noise sources besides quanti-

zation noise: thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter

(see Aperture Uncertainties). SNR is computed by tak-

ing the ratio of the RMS signal to the RMS noise, which

includes all spectral components minus the fundamen-

tal, the first four harmonics, and the DC offset.

Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion (SINAD)

SINAD is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS sig-

nal to all spectral components minus the fundamental

and the DC offset.

Effective Number of Bits (ENOB)

ENOB specifies the dynamic performance of an ADC at

a specific input frequency, amplitude, and sampling

rate relative to an ideal ADC’s quantization noise. For a

full-scale input ENOB is computed from:

ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76dB) / 6.02dB

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

THD is typically the ratio of the RMS sum of the first four

harmonics of the input signal to the fundamental itself.

This is expressed as:

where V1is the fundamental amplitude, and V2through

V5are the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 5th-order har-

monics.

Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)

SFDR is the ratio expressed in decibels of the RMS

amplitude of the fundamental to the RMS value of the

next largest spurious component, excluding DC offset.

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) inter-

modulation products. The individual input tone levels

are at -7dB full-scale and their envelope peaks at -1dB

full-scale.
