What this ADC is and where it fits
The Maxim Integrated MAX1193ETI+T is an 8-bit pipelined ADC with two simultaneously sampled channels, each capable of 45 Msps. It accepts both differential and single-ended inputs, with an internal or external voltage reference selectable per application. The parallel data interface and 1:1 S/H-to-ADC ratio make it a direct-fit part for I/Q baseband digitization, radar IF sampling, and multi-phase power monitoring where channel-to-channel skew must be eliminated. The industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) suits outdoor telecom and factory-floor equipment without extended-temp screening.
Package and footprint
Housed in a 28-TQFN (5x5 mm body) with exposed pad, the part requires a thermal via array under the pad to pull heat into the ground plane. The exposed pad is the primary thermal path — without a solid via stitch, junction temperature rises quickly above 85°C ambient.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX1193ETI+T carries an Active product status with ROHS3 compliance.
