MAX104 is a 1Gsps, 8-bit PECL-compatible analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that allows accurate digitizing of analog signals with bandwidths to 2.2GHz. It is fabricated on Maxim's proprietary advanced GST-2 bipolar process and integrates a high-performance track/hold (T/H) amplifier and a quantizer on a single monolithic die.
The MAX104 is a high‑speed, PECL‑compatible 8‑bit analog‑to‑digital converter that digitizes signals up to 2.2 GHz. It integrates a high‑performance track‑hold amplifier and a quantizer on a single monolithic die, delivering greater than 7.5 effective bits at the Nyquist frequency.
Key features include a 1 Gsps conversion rate, 2.2 GHz full‑power analog input bandwidth, differential PECL outputs selectable between +3 V and +5 V, and a 192‑contact ESBGA package. Typical applications are digital RF/IF signal processing, direct RF down‑conversion, high‑speed data acquisition, digital oscilloscopes, and radar/sonar systems.
