Product details
Overview
MAX1195ECM from Maxim Integrated is a dual, 8-bit, 40Msps analog-to-digital converter optimized for low-power, high-dynamic-performance applications including baseband I/Q sampling, ultrasound imaging, and battery-powered instrumentation. It operates from a single 2.7V–3.6V supply, delivers 48.5dB SINAD at 20MHz input, features fully differential 400MHz (-3dB) input bandwidth, and integrates a 2.048V precision bandgap reference.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1195ECM datasheet, MAX1195ECM pinout, MAX1195ECM application, or MAX1195ECM equivalent, key selection criteria include channel matching (±0.05° phase, 0.05dB gain), power modes (87mW active / 0.3µW shutdown), parallel CMOS outputs with selectable two's complement/offset binary format, and TQFP-EP package compatibility with pin-upgrade paths to MAX1197/MAX1198 (higher speed) and MAX1183 (10-bit).
Technical Context
The MAX1195ECM employs a seven-stage, fully differential pipelined architecture with 5-clock-cycle latency, enabling high-speed conversion while minimizing power. Its track-and-hold amplifiers support both differential and single-ended inputs with ±1VP-P full-scale range and mid-supply common-mode biasing.
It implements three reference configurations: internal (REFOUT→REFIN), buffered external (precision voltage applied to REFIN), and unbuffered external (REFIN = GND). The device uses separate analog (VDD) and output (OVDD) supplies (1.7V–3.6V) for flexible logic interfacing and includes dedicated control pins for sleep (SLEEP), power-down (PD), output enable (OE), and output format selection (T/B).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - defines quantization step size and dynamic range for digitizing analog signals in real-time systems. |
| Sampling Rate | 40Msps - supports Nyquist-limited input frequencies up to 20MHz, suitable for IF sampling and broadband communications. |
| SINAD @ 20MHz | 48.5dB typical - determines effective number of bits (~8.1 ENOB) and signal fidelity in noise-sensitive applications like medical imaging. |
| Input Bandwidth | 400MHz (-3dB) - enables accurate capture of fast-rising edges and wideband signals without attenuation prior to sampling. |
| Power Dissipation | 87mW normal operation - enables thermal management in compact, battery-constrained designs such as portable test equipment. |
| Channel Matching | ±0.05° phase / 0.05dB gain - ensures coherent I/Q signal processing and minimizes image rejection errors in quadrature receivers. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.048V internal bandgap - provides stable, temperature-compensated full-scale range without external components. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1195ECM is housed in a 48-pin TQFP-EP (7mm × 7mm) package with exposed paddle for thermal enhancement. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official datasheet Rev 0 (19-2410).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INA+, INA- | Differential analog input Channel A | Accepts ±1VP-P differential signal; requires matched impedance and VDD/2 common-mode bias for optimal SFDR. |
| INB+, INB- | Differential analog input Channel B | Independent second channel with identical performance; enables simultaneous I/Q or dual-channel acquisition. |
| CLK | CMOS-compatible sampling clock input | Rising-edge triggered; requires low-jitter source (<2ps RMS) to preserve SNR at high input frequencies. |
| T/B | Digital output format select | High = two's complement; Low = offset binary - simplifies FPGA/DSP interface logic without external translation. |
| OE | Three-state output enable (active-low) | Allows bus sharing with other devices; disables D7A–D0A and D7B–D0B outputs when high. |
| REFP / REFN / COM | Differential reference interface | Set full-scale range as ±(REFP – REFN); internally generated at 2.048V or externally configurable via REFIN. |
| D7A–D0A / D7B–D0B | Parallel CMOS digital outputs | Two independent 8-bit buses; OVDD-supplied (1.7V–3.6V) for direct interfacing with diverse logic families. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent ADC channels | Enables synchronous I/Q sampling or multichannel data acquisition without interleaving artifacts or timing skew. |
| Flexible reference architecture | Supports internal (2.048V), buffered external, or unbuffered external reference modes - accommodates accuracy, range, and noise requirements across applications. |
| Low-power operating modes | 87mW active, 9mW sleep, 0.3µW shutdown - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts. |
| High-fidelity channel matching | −72dB interchannel crosstalk and ±0.05° phase match ensure minimal image distortion in quadrature demodulation systems. |
| Wideband track-and-hold | 400MHz −3dB input bandwidth preserves signal integrity for RF/IF sampling up to Nyquist frequency (20MHz). |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, medium-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1197ECM | 60Msps sampling rate; same 8-bit resolution, pin-compatible TQFP-EP package, identical reference and interface architecture. | Required where higher Nyquist bandwidth (>30MHz) is needed for wider IF bands or faster transient capture. | Select MAX1197ECM when system clock and FPGA resources support 60MHz data throughput and higher power (125mW) is acceptable. |
| MAX1183ECM | 10-bit resolution, pin-compatible upgrade; N.C. pins internally pulled down, enabling drop-in replacement with improved ENOB (~9.2 bits at 20MHz). | Suitable for applications demanding higher dynamic range, such as precision instrumentation or high-fidelity audio digitization. | Choose MAX1183ECM when 2-bit resolution increase justifies ~30% higher power (115mW) and design validation for enhanced linearity (±0.5 LSB INL). |
Compared with MAX1197ECM, the MAX1195ECM trades 20Msps speed for lower power and cost; compared with MAX1183ECM, it sacrifices 2-bit resolution for reduced complexity and better power efficiency in 8-bit-constrained systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the MAX1195ECM?
The MAX1195ECM has a 400MHz −3dB small-signal input bandwidth and is specified for 40Msps sampling, supporting analog input frequencies up to 20MHz (Nyquist limit) with 48.5dB SINAD. Its full-power bandwidth is also 400MHz, allowing accurate digitization of fast transients and wideband signals without roll-off before sampling.
Does the MAX1195ECM require an external reference voltage?
No - the MAX1195ECM includes an internal 2.048V precision bandgap reference. It can operate in internal reference mode by connecting REFOUT to REFIN (e.g., via 10kΩ resistor), eliminating external components. External references are optional for applications needing different full-scale ranges or higher accuracy.
How does the MAX1195ECM manage power in portable applications?
The MAX1195ECM offers three power states: 87mW normal operation, 9mW sleep mode (reference bias active), and 0.3µW shutdown mode. This enables aggressive power gating in battery-powered instrumentation - for example, entering shutdown between measurement bursts to extend operational life significantly.
Can the MAX1195ECM interface directly with 1.8V logic systems?
Yes - the MAX1195ECM features a separate OVDD supply (1.7V–3.6V) for its parallel CMOS outputs. When OVDD = 1.8V, D7A–D0A and D7B–D0B meet 1.8V logic thresholds (VOH ≥ 1.6V, VOL ≤ 0.2V), enabling direct connection to FPGAs or microcontrollers without level shifters.
What is the latency of the MAX1195ECM, and how is it measured?
The MAX1195ECM has a fixed 5-clock-cycle latency from CLK rising edge to valid digital output. At 40MHz, this equals 125ns. Latency is deterministic and consistent across both channels, critical for time-aligned I/Q processing and closed-loop control systems using the MAX1195ECM.
