50% to optimize performance, but performance will not
be degraded if kept within the 40% to 60% range. The
analog input signal is latched on the rising edge of CLK.
The clock input must be driven from fast TTL logic
(VIH

RISE
< 6ns). In the event the clock is dri-
ven from a high current source, use a 100
resistor
(R5) in series to limit current to approximately 45mA.
Digital Outputs
The format of the output data (D0–D9) is straight binary
(Table 2). The outputs are latched on the rising edge of
CLK with a typical propagation delay of 14ns. There is
a one-clock-cycle latency between CLK and the valid
output data (Figure 1a).
The digital outputs’ rise and fall times are not symmetri-
cal. Typical propagation delay is 14ns for the rise time
and 6ns for the fall time (Figure 4). The nonsymmetri-
cal rise and fall times create approximately 8ns of in-
valid data.
Overrange Output
The overrange output (D10) is an indication that the
analog input signal has exceeded the positive full-scale
input voltage by 1LSB. When this condition occurs,
D10 will switch to logic 1. All other data outputs
(D0–D9) will remain at logic 1 as long as D10 remains
at logic 1. This feature makes it possible to include the
MAX1160 in higher-resolution systems.
Evaluation Board
The MAX1160 EV kit is available to help designers
demonstrate the MAX1160’s full performance. This
board includes a reference circuit, a clock-driver cir-
cuit, output data latches, and an on-board reconstruc-
tion of the digital data. A separate data sheet
describing the operation of this board is also available.
