MAX12553
General Description
The MAX12553 is a 3.3V, 14-bit, 65Msps 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 singleended or differential signals. The MAX12553 is optimized
for low-power, small size, and high dynamic performance. Excellent dynamic performance is maintained
from baseband to input frequencies of 175MHz and
beyond, making the MAX12553 ideal for intermediatefrequency (IF) sampling applications.
Powered from a single 3.15V to 3.60V supply, the
MAX12553 consumes only 363mW while delivering a
typical signal-to-noise (SNR) performance of 71dB at
an input frequency of 175MHz. In addition to low operating power, the MAX12553 features a 150µW powerdown mode to conserve power during idle periods.
A flexible reference structure allows the MAX12553 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 ±1.10V. The MAX12553 provides a common-mode reference to simplify design and reduce external component count in differential analog input circuits.
The MAX12553 supports both a single-ended and differential 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 14-bit,
parallel, CMOS-compatible output bus. The digital output format is pin selectable to be either two’s complement or Gray code. A data-valid indicator eliminates
external components that are normally required for reliable digital interfacing. A separate digital power input
accepts a wide 1.7V to 3.6V supply, allowing the
MAX12553 to interface with various logic levels.
The MAX12553 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.

Specifications ≥+25°C guaranteed by production test; 50MΩ). When driving REFIN through a
resistive divider, use resistances ≥10kΩ to avoid loading REFOUT.
Buffered external reference mode is virtually identical to
internal reference mode except that the reference
source is derived from an external reference and not
the MAX12553 REFOUT. In buffered external reference
mode, apply a stable 0.7V to 2.2V source at REFIN. In
this mode, COM, REFP, and REFN are low-impedance
outputs with VCOM = VDD/2, VREFP = VDD/2 + VREFIN x
3/8, and VREFN = VDD/2 - VREFIN x 3/8.
To operate the MAX12553 in unbuffered external reference mode, connect REFIN to GND. Connecting REFIN
to GND deactivates the on-chip reference buffers for
COM, REFP, and REFN. With the respective buffers
deactivated, COM, REFP, and REFN become highimpedance inputs and must be driven through separate, external reference sources. Drive VCOM to VDD/2
±5%, and drive REFP and REFN such that VCOM =
(VREFP + VREFN)/2. The full-scale analog input range is
±(VREFP - VREFN) x 2/3.
