47
The MAX19700 operates on a single +2.7V to +3.3V
analog supply and +1.8V to +3.3V digital I/O supply.
The MAX19700 is specified for the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range and is available in a 48-pin,
thin QFN package.
♦ Dual 10-Bit Rx ADC and Dual 10-Bit Tx DAC
48
The MAX19700 is an ultra-low-power, mixed-signal analog front-end (AFE) designed for TD-SCDMA handsets
and data cards. Optimized for high dynamic performance at ultra-low power, the MAX19700 integrates a
dual 10-bit, 7.5Msps receive (Rx) ADC, dual 10-bit,
7.5Msps transmit (Tx) DAC with TD-SCDMA baseband
filters, and three fast-settling 12-bit aux-DAC channels
for ancillary RF front-end control. The typical operating
power in Tx-Rx FAST mode is 36.3mW at a 5.12Msps
clock frequency.
The Rx ADCs feature 54.9dB SINAD and 78dBc SFDR
at a 1.87MHz input frequency with a 7.5Msps sample
frequency. The analog I/Q input amplifiers are fully differential and accept 1.024V P-P full-scale signals.
Typical I/Q channel matching is ±0.22° phase and
±0.02dB gain.
The Tx DACs with TD-SCDMA lowpass filters feature
-3dB cutoff frequency of 1.27MHz and >55dB stopband rejection at fIMAGE = 4.32MHz. The analog I/Q
full-scale output voltage range is selectable at ±410mV
or ±500mV. The output common-mode voltage is selectable from 0.9V to 1.4V and the I/Q channel offset is
adjustable. The typical I/Q channel matching is
±0.05dB gain and ±0.16° phase.
The Rx ADC and Tx DAC share a single, 10-bit parallel,
high-speed digital bus allowing half-duplex operation
for time-division duplex (TDD) applications. A 3-wire
serial interface controls power-management modes
and the aux-DAC channels.

Note 1: Specifications from TA = +25°C to +85°C are guaranteed by production tests. Specifications from TA = +25°C to -40°C are
guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 2: The minimum clock frequency for the MAX19700 is 2MHz.
Note 3: SNR, SINAD, SFDR, HD3, and THD are based on a differential analog input voltage of -0.5dBFS referenced to the amplitude
of the digital outputs. SINAD and THD are calculated using HD2 through HD6.
Note 4: Crosstalk rejection is measured by applying a high-frequency test tone to one channel and a low-frequency tone to the second
channel. FFTs are performed on each channel. The parameter is specified as the power ratio of the first and second channel
FFT test tone.
Note 5: Amplitude and phase matching is measured by applying the same signal to each channel, and comparing the two output
signals using a sine-wave fit.
Note 6: Guaranteed by design and characterization.

Detailed Description
The MAX19700 integrates a dual 10-bit Rx ADC and a
dual 10-bit Tx DAC with TD-SCDMA baseband filters
while providing ultra-low power and high dynamic performance at a 7.5Msps conversion rate. The Rx ADC
analog input amplifiers are fully differential and accept
1VP-P full-scale signals. The Tx DAC analog outputs are
fully differential with ±410mV full-scale output, selectable common-mode range and offset adjust.
14
The MAX19700 includes a 3-wire serial interface to
control operating modes and power management. The
serial interface is SPI™ and MICROWIRE™ compatible.
The MAX19700 serial interface selects shutdown, idle,
standby, transmit (Tx), and receive (Rx) modes.

interface. The Rx ADC and Tx DAC share a common
digital bus to reduce the digital I/O to a single 10-bit
parallel multiplexed bus.
Dual 10-Bit Rx ADC
The ADC uses a seven-stage, fully differential, pipelined
architecture that allows for high-speed conversion while
minimizing power consumption. Samples taken at the
inputs move progressively through the pipeline stages
every half clock cycle. Including the delay through the
output latch, the total clock-cycle latency is 5 clock
cycles for channel IA and 5.5 clock cycles for channel
QA. The ADC full-scale analog input range is ±VREF
with a VDD / 2 ±0.2V common-mode input range. VREF
is the difference between VREFP and VREFN. See the
Reference Configurations section for details.
Input Track-and-Hold (T/H) Circuits
Figure 1 displays a simplified diagram of the Rx ADC
input track-and-hold (T/H) circuitry. Both ADC inputs
(IAP, QAP, IAN, and QAN) can be driven either differentially or single-ended. Match the impedance of IAP

Figure 3 shows the relationship between the clock, analog inputs, DR indicator, and the resulting output data.
Channel I (CHI) and channel Q (CHQ) are sampled on
the rising edge of the clock signal (CLK) and the resulting data is multiplexed at the D0–D9 outputs. CHI data
is updated on the rising edge and CHQ data is updated on the falling edge of the CLK. The DR indicator follows CLK with a typical delay time of 8.5ns and remains
high when CHI data is updated and low when CHQ
data is updated. Including the delay through the output

Digital Input/Output Data (D0–D9)
D0–D9 are the Rx ADC digital logic outputs when the
MAX19700 is in receive mode. This bus is shared with
the Tx DAC digital logic inputs and operates in halfduplex mode. D0–D9 are the Tx DAC digital logic
inputs when the MAX19700 is in transmit mode. The
logic level is set by OVDD from 1.8V to VDD. The digital
output coding is offset binary (Table 1). Keep the
capacitive load on the digital outputs D0–D9 as low as
possible (55dB image rejection at fIMAGE = 4.32MHz,
fOUT = 800kHz, and fCLK = 5.12MHz. See Figure 4 for
an illustration of the filter frequency response.

Buffer amplifiers follow the TD-SCDMA filters. The
amplifier outputs are biased at an adjustable commonmode DC level and designed to drive a differential input
stage with input impedance ≥70kΩ. This simplifies the
analog interface between RF quadrature upconverters
and the MAX19700. Many RF upconverters require a
0.9V to 1.5V common-mode bias. The SPI-controlled
DC common-mode bias eliminates discrete level-setting
resistors and code-generated level shifting while preserving the full dynamic range of each Tx DAC. Table 2
shows the Tx path output voltage vs. input codes. Table
10 shows the selection of DC common-mode levels.
The buffer amplifiers also feature a programmable fullscale output level of ±410mV or ±500mV and independent DC offset correction of each I/Q channel. Both
features are configured through the SPI interface. The
DC offset correction is used to optimize sideband and
carrier suppression in the Tx signal path (see Tables 8
and 9).

3-Wire Serial Interface and
Operation Modes
The 3-wire serial interface controls the MAX19700 operation modes as well as the three 12-bit aux-DACs. Upon
power-up, program the MAX19700 to operate in the
desired mode. Use the 3-wire serial interface to program the device for shutdown, idle, standby, Rx, Tx, or
aux-DAC modes. A 16-bit data register sets the mode
control. The 16-bit word is comprised of A3–A0 control
bits and D11–D0 data bits. Tables 4, 5, and 6 show the
MAX19700 operating modes and SPI commands. The
serial interface remains active in all modes.
______________________________________________________________________________________
7.5Msps, Ultra-Low-Power
Analog Front-End
Modes Aux-DAC1, Aux-DAC2, and Aux-DAC3 select
the aux-DAC channels named DAC1, DAC2, and DAC3
and hold the data inputs for each DAC. Bits _D11–_D0
are the data inputs for each aux-DAC and can be programmed through SPI. The MAX19700 also includes
two 6-bit registers that can be programmed to correct
the offsets for the Tx-path I and Q channels independently (see Table 9). Use the COMSEL mode to select
the output common-mode voltage with bits CM1 and
CM0 (see Table 10).
Shutdown mode offers the most dramatic power savings by shutting down all the analog sections of the
MAX19700 and placing the Rx ADC digital outputs in
tri-state mode. When the Rx ADC outputs transition
from tri-state to active, the last converted word is
placed on the digital outputs. The Tx DAC previously
stored data is lost when coming out of shutdown mode.
The wake-up time from shutdown mode is dominated
by the time required to charge the capacitors at REFP,
REFN, and COM. In internal reference mode and
buffered external reference mode, the wake-up time is
typically 75µs to enter Rx mode and 25µs to enter Tx
mode.
In idle mode, the reference and clock distribution circuits are powered, but all other functions are off. The
Rx ADC outputs are forced to tri-state. The wake-up
time is 7.3µs to enter Rx mode and 5µs to enter Tx
mode. When the Rx ADC outputs transition from tristate to active, the last converted word is placed on the
digital outputs.
In standby mode, the reference is powered, but the rest
of the device functions are off. The wake-up time from
standby mode is 7.3µs to enter Rx mode and 25µs to
enter Tx mode. When the Rx ADC outputs transition
from tri-state to active, the last converted word is
placed on the digital outputs.
FAST and SLOW Rx and Tx Modes
In addition to the external Tx-Rx control, the MAX19700
also features SLOW and FAST modes for switching
between Rx and Tx operation. In FAST Tx mode, the Rx
ADC core is powered on but the ADC core digital outputs are tri-stated on the D0–D9 bus; likewise, in FAST
Rx mode the transmit path (DAC core and Tx filter) is
powered on but the DAC core digital inputs are tri-stated on the D0–D9 bus. The switching time between Tx
to Rx or Rx to Tx is FAST because the converters are
on and do not have to recover from a power-down
state. In FAST mode, the switching time between Rx to
Tx and Tx to Rx is 1µs. However, power consumption is
higher in this mode because both the Tx and Rx cores
are always on. To prevent bus contention in these
states, the Rx ADC output buffers are tri-stated during
Tx and the Tx DAC input bus is tri-stated during Rx.
In SLOW mode, the Rx ADC core is off during Tx; likewise the Tx DAC and filters are turned off during Rx to
yield lower power consumption in these modes. For
example, the power in SLOW Tx mode is 31.2mW. The
power consumption during Rx is 21mW compared to
power consumption in FAST mode of 38.4mW. However,
the recovery time between states is increased. The
switching time in SLOW mode between Rx to Tx is 5µs
and Tx to Rx is 7.3µs.
R Switching Control vs.
External T/R
Serial-Interface Control
Bit E3 in the ENABLE-16 register determines whether
the device Tx-Rx mode is controlled externally through
the T/R input (E3 = low) or through the SPI command
(E3 = high). By default, the MAX19700 is in the external
Tx-Rx control mode. In the external control mode, use
the T/R input (pin 27) to switch between Rx and Tx
modes. Using the T/R pin provides faster switching
between Rx and Tx modes. To override the external TxRx control, program the MAX19700 through the serial
interface. During SHDN, IDLE, or STBY modes, the T/R
input is overridden. To restore external Tx-Rx control,
program bit E3 low and exit the SHDN, IDLE, or STBY
modes through the serial interface.

MAX19700
SPI Register Description
The operating modes can be selected by programming
the control bits, A3–A0, in the register as shown in Table
3. Modifying A3–A0 bits will select from ENABLE-16,
Aux-DAC1, Aux-DAC2, Aux-DAC3, IOFFSET, QOFFSET,
and COMSEL modes. ENABLE-16 is the default operating mode. This mode allows for shutdown, idle, and
standby states as well as switching between FAST,
SLOW, Rx, and Tx modes. Table 4 shows the
MAX19700 power-management modes. Table 5 shows
the T/R pin-controlled external Tx-Rx switching modes.
Table 6 shows the SPI-controlled Tx-Rx switching
modes.
In ENABLE-16 mode, the aux-DACs have independent
control bits E6, E5, and E4, and the Tx-path full-scale
output can be set with bit E7. Table 7 shows the auxiliary DAC enable codes and Table 8 shows the fullscale output selection. Bits E11 and E10 are reserved
and need to be programmed to logic-low. Bits E9 and
E8 are not used.

SPI Timing
The serial digital interface is a standard 3-wire connection compatible with SPI/QSPI™/MICROWIRE/DSP interfaces. Set CS low to enable the serial data loading at
DIN. Following a CS high-to-low transition, data is shifted synchronously, most significant bit first, on the rising
edge of the serial clock (SCLK). After 16 bits are loaded
into the serial input register, data is transferred to the
latch when CS transitions high. CS must transition high
for a minimum of 80ns before the next write sequence.
The SCLK can idle either high or low between transitions. Figure 6 shows the detailed timing diagram of the
3-wire serial interface.
Mode-Recovery Timing
Figure 7 shows the mode-recovery timing diagram.
tWAKE is the wakeup time when exiting shutdown, idle,
or standby mode and entering Rx or Tx mode. tENABLE
is the recovery time when switching between either Rx
or Tx mode. tWAKE or tENABLE is the time for the Rx ADC
to settle within 1dB of specified SINAD performance and
Tx DAC settling to 10 LSB error. tWAKE and tENABLE
times are measured after either the 16-bit serial command is latched into the MAX19700 by a CS transition
high (SPI controlled) or a T/R logic transition (external
Tx-Rx control). In FAST mode, the recovery time is 1µs
to switch between Tx or Rx modes.
