formance specifications are determined by a single-
ended clock drive of +4dBm (500mV clock signal
amplitude). To avoid saturation of the input amplifier
stage, limit the clock power level to a maximum of
+10dBm.
Differential Clock Inputs (Sine-Wave Drive)
The advantages of differential clock drive (Figure 13b,
Table 5) can be obtained by using an appropriate
balun or transformer to convert single-ended sine-wave
sources into differential drives. The precision on-chip,
laser-trimmed 50Ω clock-termination resistors ensure
excellent amplitude matching. See
Single-Ended Clock
Inputs (Sine-Wave Drive)
for proper input amplitude
requirements.
Single-Ended Clock Inputs (ECL Drive)
Configure the MAX108 for single-ended ECL clock
drive by connecting the clock inputs as shown in Figure
13c (Table 5). A well-bypassed V
BB
supply (-1.3V) is
essential to avoid coupling noise into the undriven
clock input, which would degrade dynamic perfor-
mance.
Differential Clock Inputs (ECL Drive)
Drive the MAX108 from a standard differential (Figure
13d, Table 5) ECL clock source by setting the clock ter-
mination voltage at CLKCOM to -2V. Bypass the clock-
termination return (CLKCOM) as close to the ADC as
possible with a 0.01µF capacitor connected to GNDI.
