Product details
Overview
MAX1122EGK+TD from Maxim Integrated is a 10-bit, 170Msps analog-to-digital converter optimized for high dynamic performance at IF frequencies up to 500MHz. It operates on a single 1.8V supply, consumes 460mW at full rate, achieves 57.5dB SNR at 10MHz and 72dBc SFDR at 100MHz, and targets digital predistortion receivers in cellular base-station transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1122EGK+TD datasheet, MAX1122EGK+TD pinout, MAX1122EGK+TD application, or MAX1122EGK+TD equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, LVDS output timing behavior, industrial-temperature QFN-68EP package details, and validated alternative ADCs for wideband RF sampling systems.
Technical Context
The MAX1122EGK+TD employs a fully differential pipelined architecture with on-chip track-and-hold and internal 1.23V bandgap reference. Its clock management circuit includes a duty-cycle equalizer and selectable divide-by-2 function (via CLKDIV), enabling use of up to 340MHz differential LVDS clock inputs while reducing phase noise sensitivity.
Digital outputs are LVDS-compatible across all 10 data bits (D0P/N–D9P/N), plus ORP/ORN out-of-range flags and DCLKP/DCLKN synchronized clock outputs. Output format (two's complement or offset binary) is selected via the T/B control input, and analog input supports AC- or DC-coupled differential operation with 1.25VP-P full-scale range centered at 1.4V common-mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - defines quantization step size and theoretical SNR ceiling (~62dB) |
| Max Sampling Rate | 170Msps - supports Nyquist-limited signal capture up to 85MHz baseband or IF-sampling of multi-hundred-MHz bands |
| SNR @ 10MHz | 57.5dB - enables >9 effective bits (ENOB ≈ 9.2) for high-fidelity digitization in narrowband receivers |
| SFDR @ 100MHz | 72dBc - suppresses spurious tones critical for adjacent-channel interference rejection in LTE/WCDMA systems |
| Power Dissipation | 460mW at 170Msps - balances performance and thermal load in dense RF front-end layouts |
| Analog Input BW | 600MHz full-power bandwidth - preserves signal integrity for wide instantaneous bandwidth applications |
| Supply Voltage | Single 1.8V (AVCC/OVCC) - simplifies power delivery and reduces noise coupling vs. dual-supply ADCs |
Pinout & Package
MAX1122EGK+TD is housed in a 68-pin QFN with exposed pad (EP), specified for -40°C to +85°C operation. The exposed pad must be soldered to AGND for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INP / INN | Differential analog input pair | Accepts 1.25VP-P swing centered at 1.4V common-mode; self-biased via internal 2.2kΩ resistors |
| CLKP / CLKN | Differential LVDS clock inputs | Support 200–500mVP-P drive; internally biased to 1.2V; enable jitter-insensitive sampling at up to 340MHz input |
| D0P/N–D9P/N | LVDS parallel data outputs (10-bit) | Deliver sampled data in user-selectable two's complement or offset binary; require 100Ω differential termination |
| ORP / ORN | Out-of-range flag outputs | Assert high/low when input exceeds ±0.3125V differential swing relative to 1.4V common-mode |
| DCLKP / DCLKN | LVDS clock output pair | Provide synchronized latch clock with 2.1ns delay from CLKP/CLKN; used to capture data in external logic |
| CLKDIV | LVCMOS clock divider control | Pulldown-enabled input: low = divide-by-2 output update rate; high = 1:1 update rate |
| T/B | Output format select | Pulldown-enabled input: low = two's complement; high = offset binary |
| REFIO / REFADJ | Reference I/O and adjustment | REFIO outputs 1.23V internal reference; REFADJ sets full-scale range via external resistor to AGND or REFIO |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum clock input frequency supported by MAX1122EGK+TD?
The MAX1122EGK+TD accepts differential LVDS clock inputs up to 340MHz when the CLKDIV pin is set low to engage the on-chip divide-by-2 circuit. This allows the use of high-frequency, low-phase-noise clock sources while maintaining optimal aperture jitter performance. At CLKDIV = high, the maximum clock frequency is 170MHz.
Does MAX1122EGK+TD require external reference components?
No-MAX1122EGK+TD integrates a 1.23V bandgap reference and reference-scaling amplifier. With REFADJ tied to AGND via a 1kΩ resistor, the internal reference is active and requires only a 0.1µF capacitor on REFIO to AGND. External references are optional and only needed for custom full-scale range tuning.
How is the output data format selected on MAX1122EGK+TD?
The T/B pin controls output format: logic low selects two's complement, and logic high selects offset binary. The pin has an internal pulldown resistor, so leaving it unconnected defaults to two's complement mode. No external pull-up is required unless offset binary is needed.
What is the latency of MAX1122EGK+TD from sampling edge to valid data output?
The MAX1122EGK+TD has a fixed pipeline latency of nine clock cycles. Data sampled on the rising edge of CLKP appears valid on the rising edge of DCLKP after nine full clock periods. This deterministic latency enables precise timing alignment in FPGA-based digital downconverters and real-time signal processors.
Can MAX1122EGK+TD operate with single-ended analog inputs?
Yes-though differential input is recommended for optimal performance, the MAX1122EGK+TD supports single-ended analog input by AC-coupling the signal to INP and terminating INN to the 1.4V common-mode voltage via a 2.2kΩ resistor. SNR and SFDR will degrade by ~3–5dB compared to differential drive.
