The MAX1213 is a monolithic, 12-bit, 170Msps analog-to-digital converter (ADC) optimized for outstanding dynamic performance at high-IF frequencies up to 300MHz. The product operates with conversion rates up to 170Msps while consuming only 788mW. At 170Msps and an input frequency up to 250MHz, the MAX1213 achieves a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 72.9dBc. Its excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 65.8dB at 10MHz remains flat (within 2dB) for input tones up to 250MHz. This ADC yields an excellent low-noise floor of -68dBFS, which makes it ideal for wideband applications such as cable head-end receivers and power-amplifier predistortion in cellular base-station transceivers.
The MAX1213 is a monolithic 12‑bit analog‑to‑digital converter optimized for high‑IF frequencies up to 300 MHz. It operates from a single 1.8 V supply, consumes 788 mW at 170 Msps, and provides a low noise floor of –68 dBFS, making it suitable for cable head‑end receivers and base‑station predistortion.
The device is offered in a 68‑pin QFN‑EP package, supports differential or single‑ended inputs, and features LVDS digital outputs with selectable two’s complement or offset binary data formats. Detailed electrical characteristics, pin descriptions, and package dimensions are provided in the datasheet.
