sampling provides design flexibility, relaxes clock requirements, and can minimize clock jitter.

System Timing Requirements

Figure 5 shows the timing relationship between the clock, analog inputs, DAV indicator, DOR_ indicators, and the resulting output data. The analog input is sam- pled on the falling (rising) edge of CLKP (CLKN) and the resulting data appears at the digital outputs 8 clock cycles later.

The DAV indicator is synchronized with the digital out- put and optimized for use in latching data into digital back-end circuitry. Alternatively, digital back-end cir-

cuitry can be latched with the rising edge of the con- version clock (CLKP - CLKN).

Data-Valid Output

DAV is a single-ended version of the input clock that is compensated to correct for any input clock duty-cycle variations. The MAX12527 output data changes on the falling edge of DAV, and DAV rises once the output data is valid. The falling edge of DAV is synchronized to have a 5.4ns delay from the falling edge of the input clock. Output data at D0A/B–D11A/B and DORA/B are valid from 7ns before the rising edge of DAV to 7ns after the rising edge of DAV.

DAV enters high impedance when the MAX12527 is powered down (PD = OVDD). DAV enters its high- impedance state 10ns after the rising edge of PD and becomes active again 10ns after PD transitions low.

DAV is capable of sinking and sourcing 600µA and has three times the driving capabilities of D0A/B–D11A/B and DORA/B. DAV is typically used to latch the MAX12527 output data into an external digital back-end circuit. Keep the capacitive load on DAV as low as possi- ble (<15pF) to avoid large digital currents feeding back into the analog portion of the MAX12527, thereby degrading its dynamic performance.
