The recommended layout and placement for the MAX11618EEE+ involves keeping the analog and digital grounds separate, using a solid ground plane, and placing the device close to the analog signal sources. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated analog power plane and a dedicated digital power plane.
The MAX11618EEE+ has a thermal pad that must be connected to a solid ground plane to dissipate heat. It's recommended to use a thermal relief pattern on the PCB to ensure good thermal conductivity. Additionally, the device should be placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
The recommended input impedance for the MAX11618EEE+ is 1kΩ to 10kΩ. This ensures that the input signal is not attenuated and that the device can accurately convert the input signal.
The MAX11618EEE+ does not require calibration. It has an internal calibration circuit that ensures accurate conversions. However, it's recommended to perform a system-level calibration to account for any system-level errors or offsets.
The maximum sampling rate for the MAX11618EEE+ is 100ksps. However, the actual sampling rate may be limited by the system-level constraints, such as the input signal bandwidth and the output data rate.
