General Description

The MAX12553/MAX12554/MAX12555 evaluation kits (EV

kits) are fully assembled and tested PCBs that contain all

the components necessary to evaluate the performance

of this family of 14-bit, analog-to-digital converters

(ADCs). These ADCs accept differential or single-ended

analog inputs, however, the EV kits allow for evaluation

with either type of signal from one single-ended analog-

signal source. The digital outputs produced by the ADCs

are captured easily with a user-provided high-speed logic

analyzer or data-acquisition system. The EV kits operate

from a 1.8V and a 3.3V power supply and include circuit-

ry that generates a low-jitter clock signal from an AC

signal provided by the user.

Features

o Low-Voltage and Low-Power Operation

o Fully Differential or Single-Ended Signal-Input

Configuration

o Differential or Single-Ended Clock Configuration

o On-Board Clock-Shaping Circuit with Adjustable

Duty Cycle

o Fully Assembled and Tested
