MAX19515ETM+T

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The MAX19515ETM+T is a dual-channel, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a maximum sample rate of 65Msps. It features a pipeline architecture and accepts differential or single-ended inputs within a 0.4V to 1.4V common-mode range. The device operates from a 1.8V analog supply or 2.5V to 3.3V via an internal regulator, with a separate 1.8V to 3.5V digital output supply. Typical dynamic performance includes a 60.1dBFS signal-to-noise ratio and 82dBc spurious-free dynamic range at 70MHz input frequency. Power consumption is 43mW per channel at 65Msps.
