MAX2100

The MAX2100 family of quadrature digitizers offers complete solutions to digital demodulation problems.The flagship of the MAX2100 family is the MAX2101 6-bit Quadrature Digitizer. The subcircuits derived from the MAX2101 provide excellent starting points for the RF IC designer to develop components that bridge the gap between existing RF downconverters and CMOS digital signal processors.

Each MAX2100 subcircuit comes with a detailed schematic,TEKSPICE or PSPICE netlist, models, and GDSII layout for incorporation in your own custom ASIC design. These subcircuits can be used separately or in combination to produce complete demodulation and digitization components for intermediate frequencies (IF) ranging from 70MHz to 700MHz, and for base bandwidths to 80MHz*. All are powered by a +5V supply,and are implemented in Maxim's proprietary GST-1 wafer fabrication process with NPN f_T = 13GHz.

Maxim does not guarantee specifications or fitness for use of these subcircuits in your custom ASIC. The MAX2100 subcircuits are intended to demonstrate Maxim's process and design capability, and to provide circuit designers with a "head start" in developing their own ASIC.Operation of these subcircuits in a customer-designed ASIC is the responsibility of the customer.
