Overview
The MAX12529ETK+D is a dual, 96Msps, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) produced by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This device is optimized for low power consumption, small size, and high dynamic performance, making it suitable for intermediate frequency (IF) and baseband sampling applications. The ADC operates from a single 3.3V supply and features fully differential wideband track-and-hold (T/H) inputs, which can accept single-ended or differential inputs up to 350MHz. It is designed to deliver high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance and low operating power, with a power-down mode to conserve energy during idle periods.
