MAX1150

The MAX1150 is a parallel flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) capable of digitizing full-scale (0V to -2V) inputs into 8-bit digital words at an update rate of 500Msps. The ECL-compatible outputs are demuxed into two separate output banks, each with differential data-ready outputs to ease the task of data capture. The MAX1150's wide input bandwidth and low capacitance eliminate the need for external track/hold amplifiers for most applications. A proprietary decoding scheme reduces metastable errors to 1LSB. This device operates from a single -5.2V supply, with a nominal power dissipation of 5.5W.
