Product details
Overview
MAX1180ECM+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual 10-bit, 105Msps analog-to-digital converter optimized for high-dynamic-performance imaging and IF undersampling applications. It features fully-differential track-and-hold inputs, internal 2.048V bandgap reference, parallel CMOS-compatible outputs, and operates from a single 3.3V analog supply consuming 413mW at full speed. Its 400MHz (-3dB) input bandwidth and 58.5dB SNR at 20MHz input support demanding wideband digitization.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1180ECM+ datasheet, MAX1180ECM+ pinout, MAX1180ECM+ application, or MAX1180ECM+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in I/Q digitization and instrumentation, and validated alternative options with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX1180ECM+ implements a nine-stage pipelined ADC architecture with 1.5-bit flash sub-ADCs per stage and digital error correction to guarantee no missing codes. Each channel uses independent fully-differential track-and-hold amplifiers with 400MHz (-3dB) input bandwidth and ±1VP-P differential input range.
It supports three reference configurations: internal (REFOUT→REFIN), buffered external (precision voltage applied to REFIN), and unbuffered external (REFIN = GND). Output format (two's complement or offset binary) is selected via the T/B pin, and digital outputs are three-state with separate OVDD (1.7V–3.6V) for flexible interfacing.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1181ECM+ | 80Msps max sampling rate; identical pinout, reference structure, and 10-bit resolution | Lower power (320mW) but reduced Nyquist bandwidth (40MHz); suitable for cost-sensitive IF sampling | Select when system clock constraints or thermal budget limit maximum sample rate to ≤80Msps |
| ADS5272IPFP | 12-bit resolution, 65Msps, JESD204B serial interface, no internal reference | Higher resolution but lower speed and serial output require FPGA/JESD204B receiver; no parallel CMOS bus | Choose for applications prioritizing SNR >65dB over parallel interface simplicity and 105Msps throughput |
Compared with MAX1180ECM+, MAX1181ECM+ offers identical functionality at reduced speed and power, while ADS5272IPFP trades parallel simplicity for higher resolution and serial interface complexity-neither is pin-compatible, but both serve adjacent high-speed digitization needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the MAX1180ECM+?
The MAX1180ECM+ has a 400MHz (-3dB) small-signal input bandwidth and 500MHz full-power bandwidth, enabling reliable sampling of analog inputs up to 100MHz while maintaining SNR flatness within 1dB. For undersampling applications, input frequencies beyond the Nyquist limit (52.5MHz) are supported provided aliasing is managed in system design.
Does the MAX1180ECM+ require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX1180ECM+ includes an internal 2.048V precision bandgap reference. REFOUT can be connected to REFIN via a 10kΩ resistor to set the full-scale range. External references are optional and used only when higher accuracy, different voltage ranges, or improved temperature stability are required.
How does the T/B pin affect digital output formatting in the MAX1180ECM+?
The T/B pin selects between two output formats: logic-high configures two's complement (bipolar representation), while logic-low selects straight offset binary (unipolar). This setting directly determines how digital codes map to input voltage polarity and must match the downstream processor's expected data format.
What is the power-down current consumption of the MAX1180ECM+?
In power-down mode (PD = high, OE = OVDD), the MAX1180ECM+ draws only 1µA typical analog supply current and 2µA total device current. This ultra-low state preserves system power during idle periods without losing configuration or reference bias integrity.
Can the MAX1180ECM+ operate with single-ended analog inputs?
Yes, the MAX1180ECM+ supports single-ended operation: connect the signal source to INA+ or INB+, and tie INA- or INB- to COM. However, differential mode is recommended for best SNR, SFDR, and common-mode noise rejection-single-ended use reduces dynamic performance by ~3–4dB.
