General Description
The MAX100 ECL-compatible, 250Msps, 8-bit analog-todigital converter (ADC) allows accurate digitizing of analog signals from DC to 125MHz (Nyquist frequency). Designed with Maxim’s proprietary advanced bipolar processes, the MAX100 contains a high-performance track/hold (T/H) amplifier and a quantizer in a single ceramic strip-line package.
