Evaluates: MAX1420/MAX1421/MAX1422
General Description
The MAX1420 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains all the components necessary to evaluate the performance of the
MAX1420, MAX1421, or MAX1422, 12-bit, +3.3V, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The MAX1420/
MAX1421/MAX1422 ADCs accept 2Vp-p differential
analog inputs. The offset binary digital output produced
by the ADC can be easily sampled with a user-provided
high-speed logic analyzer or data-acquisition system.
The EV kit comes with the 60Msps part (MAX1420)
installed. Order a free sample of the MAX1421CCM or
MAX1422CCM to evaluate the 40Msps or 20Msps parts.

MAX1420 Evaluation Kit
The MAX1420 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
circuit board that contains all the components necessary to evaluate the performance of the MAX1420,
MAX1421, or MAX1422, 12-bit ADC at a maximum
clock frequency of 60MHz. The EV kit is designed
using a four-layer architecture, to optimize the performance of the MAX1420. Separate, nonoverlapping,
analog and digital power planes minimize noise coupling between analog and digital signals.
For simple operation, the EV kit is specified to have
+3.3V power supplies applied to analog and digital
power planes. However, the digital supply can be operated down to +2.7V without compromising the board’s
performance. The logic analyzer’s threshold should be
adjusted accordingly.
Access to the digital outputs and the capture clock is
provided through connector J1. The 26-pin connector
interfaces directly to a user-provided logic analyzer or
data-acquisition system.
Power Supplies
The MAX1420 EV kit requires separate analog and digital power supplies for best performance. A +3.3V
power supply is used to power the analog portion
(AVDD) of the MAX1420/MAX1421/MAX1422. A second
separate +3.3V power supply is used to power the digital portion (DVDD1) of the MAX1420 and the buffer/driver, but it will work with a supply as low as +2.7V and
as high as +3.6V. Enhanced dynamic performance can
be achieved when the digital supply voltage is lower
than the analog supply voltage.
Input Signal
The MAX1420 EV kit requires a single-ended analog
input signal. This single-ended signal is converted to a
differential signal by transformer T1. This differential

signal is applied to the input pins (INP and INN) of the
MAX1420. Both input pins receive half of the input signal swing applied at the SMA connector VIN centered
at (VS+/2).
MAX1420 Enable and Power-Down
The MAX1420 EV kit features jumpers to enable and
power-down the MAX1420 (JU1) or enable/disable its
digital outputs (JU2). See Table 1 for jumper settings.
Voltage Reference
The MAX1420 requires a voltage reference to set the
full-scale analog input range. The MAX1420 provides
three modes of operation to set the reference voltage.
In internal reference mode, the on-chip +2.048V
bandgap reference is used. The pads CMLT, REFNT,
REFPT, and REFIN must be left floating in this mode. In
buffered external reference mode, a stable and accurate voltage must be applied at the REFIN pad to set
the reference voltage. The pads CMLT, REFNT, and
REFPT must be left floating in this mode. Connecting
REFIN to AGND activates the unbuffered external reference mode. In this mode, the full-scale input range is
determined by the voltage difference (VDIFF) between
the pads REFPT and REFNT. In this mode, CMLT must
be biased between +1.568V to +1.733V. REFPT and
REFNT should be biased to V CMLT + (V DIFF/2) and
VCMLT - (VDIFF/2), respectively.
Output Buffer/Driver
The 74ALVC16244 buffers the MAX1420’s digital outputs, and is able to drive capacitive loads without compromising the MAX1420’s dynamic performance. The
outputs of the buffer are connected to a 26-pin header
(J1) located on the right side of the EV kit, where the
user can connect a logic analyzer or data-acquisition
system.
Clock
The MAX1420 EV kit requires a single-ended sinusoidal
clock input signal. This single-ended signal is converted to a differential signal by transformer T2. The differential signal is then applied to the clock pins (CLK and
CLK) of the MAX1420. The clock frequency determines
the sampling rate of the MAX1420. The frequency
should be between 100kHz and 60MHz. The clock signal is also connected through the 74ALVC16244 to the
26-pin header J1, to be used by a logic analyzer or
data-acquisition system.
