Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX19515/MAX19516/MAX19517, a pin-compatible family of dual-channel, 10-bit, 65/100/130Msps ADCs. Said to offer the industry's lowest power consumption, the devices consume a mere 43mW (MAX19515), 57mW (MAX19516), and 75mW (MAX19517) of analog power per channel. Additionally, these ADCs achieve superior dynamic performance, with a 60dBFS signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and 85dBC SFDR at 70MHz. Combining low power consumption with excellent dynamic performance, the MAX19515/MAX19516/MAX19517 are ideal for power-sensitive portable applications such as ultrasound and medical imaging, portable instrumentation, and low-power data-acquisition systems.
Designed for space-constrained applications, these ADCs integrate an extensive feature set to minimize the number of external components. They provide a self-sensing, analog supply regulator that allows the user to operate the parts from 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V analog supplies. In addition, they feature single-ended or differential clock inputs; analog inputs with a wide, 0.4V to 1.4V input common-mode range to support AC- or DC-coupled inputs; and an on-board clock divider to eliminate the need for an external divider. Integrated CMOS output termination resistors allow users to program the CMOS output resistance, thus eliminating external damping resistors.
The MAX19515/MAX19516/MAX19517 are packaged in a 7mm x 7mm, 48-pin TQFN and are fully specified over the -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius extended temperature range.
