____________________________Features
The MAX115/MAX116 are high-speed, multichannel,
12-bit data-acquisition systems (DAS) with simultaneous track/holds (T/Hs). These devices contain a 12-bit,
2µs, successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a +2.5V reference, a buffered reference
input, and a bank of four simultaneous-sampling T/H
amplifiers that preserve the relative phase information
of the sampled inputs. The MAX115/MAX116 have two
multiplexed inputs for each T/H, allowing a total of eight
inputs. In addition, the converter is overvoltage tolerant
to ±17V. A fault condition on any channel will not damage the IC. Available input ranges are ±5V (MAX115)
and ±2.5V (MAX116).
The parallel interface’s data access and bus release
timing specifications are compatible with most popular
digital signal processors and 16-bit/32-bit microprocessors. The MAX115/MAX116 conversion results can be
accessed without resorting to wait-states.

The MAX115/MAX116 use a successive-approximation
conversion technique and four simultaneous-sampling
track/hold (T/H) amplifiers to convert analog signals into
12-bit digital outputs. Each T/H has two multiplexed
inputs, allowing a total of eight inputs. Each T/H output
is converted and stored in memory to be accessed
sequentially by the parallel interface with successive
read cycles. The MAX115/MAX116 internal microsequencer can be programmed to digitize one, two,
three, or four inputs sampled simultaneously from either
of the two banks of four inputs (Figure 2). The
MAX115/MAX116 can operate with either an external or
internal clock. For internal operation, connect CLK to
DVDD.

Figure 3. Equivalent Input Circuit
The conversion timing and control sequences are
derived from either an internal clock or an external
clock, the CONVST signal, and the programmed mode.
The T/H amplifiers hold the input voltages at the
CONVST rising edge. Additional CONVST pulses are
ignored until the last conversion for the sample is complete. An on-board sequencer converts one to four
channels per CONVST pulse. In the default mode, one
T/H output (CH1A) is converted. An interrupt signal
(INT) is provided after the last conversion is complete.
Convert two to four channels by reprogramming the
MAX115/MAX116 through the bidirectional parallel
interface. Once programmed, the MAX115/MAX116
continues to convert the specified number of channels
per CONVST pulse until they are reprogrammed. The
channels are converted sequentially, beginning with
CH1. The INT signal always follows the end of the last
conversion in a conversion sequence. The ADC converts each assigned channel in 2µs and stores the
result in an internal 4 x 12-bit memory.
At the end of the last conversion, INT goes low and the
T/H amplifiers begin to track the inputs again. The data
can be accessed by applying successive pulses to the
RD pin. Successive reads access data words sequen8
tially. The memory is not random-access and data from
CH1 is always read first. After performing four consecutive reads or initiating a new conversion, the address
pointer selects CH1 again. Additional read pulses cycle
through the data words. CS can be held low during
successive reads.
Input Bandwidth
The T/H’s input tracking circuitry has a 10MHz smallsignal bandwidth, so it is possible to digitize highspeed transient events and measure periodic signals
with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by
using undersampling techniques. To avoid highfrequency signals being aliased into the frequency
band of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.
Analog Input Range and Input Protection
The MAX115’s input range is ±5V, and the MAX116’s
input range is ±2.5V. The input resistance for the
MAX115 is 10kΩ (typ), and the input resistance for the
MAX116 is 1MΩ (typ). An input protection structure
allows input voltages to ±17V without harming the IC.
This protection is also active in shutdown mode.

Between conversions, the buffer input is connected to
channel 1 of the selected track/hold bank. When a

Figure 5. Programming a Four-Channel Conversion, Input Mux A
Track/Holds
The MAX115/MAX116 feature four simultaneous T/Hs.
Each T/H has two multiplexed inputs. A T-switch input
configuration provides excellent hold-mode isolation.
Allow 600ns acquisition time for 12-bit accuracy.
The T/H aperture delay is typically 10ns. The 500ps
aperture-delay mismatch between the T/Hs allows the
relative phase information of up to four different inputs
to be preserved. Figure 3 shows the equivalent input
circuit, illustrating the ADC’s sampling architecture.
Only one of four T/H stages with its two multiplexed
inputs (CH_A and CH_B) is shown. All switches are in
track configuration for channel A. An internal buffer
charges the hold capacitor to minimize the required
Input data (A0–A3) and output data (D0–D11) are multiplexed on a three-state bidirectional interface. This parallel I/O can easily be interfaced with a microprocessor
(µP) or DSP. CS, WR, and RD control the write and read
operations. CS is the standard chip-select signal, which
enables the controller to address the MAX115/MAX116
as an I/O port. When CS is high, it disables the WR and
RD inputs and forces the interface into a high-Z state.
Figure 4 details the interface timing.
Programming Modes
The MAX115/MAX116 have eight conversion modes
plus power-down, which are programmed through a
bidirectional parallel interface. At power-up, the devices
default to the Input Mux A/Single-Channel Conversion
mode. The user can select between two banks (mux
inputs A or mux inputs B) of four simultaneous-sampled
input channels, as illustrated in Figure 2. An internal
microsequencer can be programmed to convert one to
four channels of the selected bank per sample. For a
single-channel conversion, CH1 is digitized, and then
INT goes low to indicate completion of the conversion.

For multichannel conversions, INT goes low after the last
channel has been digitized.
To input data into the MAX115/MAX116, pull CS low,
program the bidirectional pins A0–A3 (Table 1), and
pulse WR low. Data is latched into the devices on the
WR or CS rising edge. The ADC is now ready to convert.
Once programmed, the ADC continues operating in the
same mode until reprogrammed or until power is
removed. Figure 5 shows an example of programming a
four-channel conversion using Input Mux A.

Starting a Conversion
After programming the MAX115/MAX116 as outlined in
the Programming Modes section, pulse CONVST low to
initiate a conversion sequence. The analog inputs are
sampled at the CONVST rising edge. Do not start a
new conversion while the conversion is in progress.
Monitor the INT output. A falling edge indicates the end
of a conversion sequence.
Reading a Conversion
Digitized data from up to four channels is stored in
memory to be read out through the parallel interface.
After receiving an INT signal, the user can access up to
four conversion results by performing up to four read
operations.
With CS low, the conversion results from CH1_ are
accessed, and INT is reset high on the first RD falling
edge. On the RD rising edge, the internal address
pointer is advanced. If a single conversion is programmed, only one RD pulse is required. For multichannel conversions, up to four RD falling edges
sequentially access the data for channels 1 through 4.
For any number of channels converted, the address
pointer is reset to CH1_ after four RD pulses. The
address pointer also resets after receiving a CNVST
pulse. Do not perform a read operation during conversion; it will corrupt the conversion’s accuracy.
__________Applications Information
Clock
The MAX115/MAX116 have an internal 10MHz (typ)
clock, which is activated by connecting CLK to DVDD
(internal clock startup time is 165µs typ). The CLK input
also accepts an external clock with duty cycle between
30% and 70%.

Internal and External Reference
The MAX115/MAX116 can be used with an internal or
external reference voltage. An external +2.5 reference
can be connected directly at REFIN. An internal buffer
with a gain of +1 provides +2.5V at REFOUT.
Internal Reference
The full-scale range with the internal reference is ±5V
for the MAX115 and ±2.5V for the MAX116. Bypass
REFIN with a 0.1µF capacitor to AGND, and bypass the
REFOUT pin with a 4.7µF (min) capacitor to AGND
(Figure 6). The maximum value to compensate the reference buffer is 22µF. Larger values are acceptable if
low-ESR capacitors are used.
External Reference
For operation over a wide temperature range, an external +2.5V reference with tighter specifications improves
accuracy. The MAX6325 is an excellent choice
to match the MAX115/MAX116 accuracy over the
commercial and extended temperature ranges with a
1ppm/°C (max) temperature drift. Connect an external
reference at REFIN as shown in Figure 7. The minimum
impedance is 7kΩ for DC currents in both normal operation and shutdown. Bypass REFOUT with a 4.7µF lowESR capacitor.
Power-On Reset
When power is first applied, the internal power-on reset
(POR) circuitry activates the MAX115/MAX116 with INT
= high, ready to convert. The default conversion mode
is Input Mux A/Single Channel Conversion. See the
Programming Modes section if other configurations are
desired.
After the power supplies have been stabilized, the reset
time is 5µs. No conversions should be performed
during this phase. At power-up, data-in memory is
undefined.
Software Power-Down
Software power-down is activated by setting bit A3 of
the control word high (Table 1). It is asserted after the
WR or CS rising edge, at which point the ADC immediately powers down to a low quiescent-current state.
IAVDD and IAVSS drop to less than 1µA (typ), and IDVDD
drops to 13µA (typ). The ADC circuitry and reference
buffer are turned off, but the digital interface and the
reference remain active for fast power-up recovery.
Wake up the MAX115/MAX116 by writing a control
word (A0–A3, Table 1). The bidirectional interface interprets a logic zero at A3 as the start signal, and powers
up in the mode selected by A0, A1, and A2. The reference buffer’s settling time and the bypass capacitor’s
value dominate the power-up delay. With the recommended 4.7µF at REFOUT, the power-up delay is typically 20ms.
Transfer Function
The MAX115/MAX116 have bipolar input ranges. Figure
8 shows the bipolar/output transfer function. Code transitions occur at successive-integer least significant bit

with 1LSB = 2.44mV for the MAX115 and
1LSB = 1.22mV for the MAX116.
Output Demultiplexer
An output demultiplexer circuit is useful for isolating
data from one channel in a four-channel conversion
sequence. Figure 9’s circuit uses the external 16MHz
clock and the INT signal to generate four RD pulses
and a latch clock to save data from the desired channel. CS must be low during the four RD pulses. The
channel is selected with the binary coding of two
switches. A 16-bit 16373 latch simplifies layout.

Motor-Control Applications
Vector motor control requires monitoring of the individual phase currents. In their most basic application, the
MAX115/MAX116 simultaneously sample two currents
(CH1A and CH2A, Figure 10) and preserve the necessary relative phase information. Only two of the three
phase currents have to be digitized because the third
component can be mathematically derived with a coordinate transformation.
The circuit of Figure 10 shows a typical vector motorcontrol application using all available inputs of the
MAX115/MAX116. CH1A and CH2A are connected
to two isolated Hall-effect current sensors and are a

part of the current (torque) feedback loop. The
MAX115/MAX116 digitize the currents and deliver raw
data to the following DSP and controller stages, where
the vector processing takes place. Sensorless vector
control uses a computer model for the motor and an
algorithm to split each output current into its magnetizing (stator current) and torque-producing (rotor current)
components.
If a two-to-three phase conversion is not practical,
three currents can be sampled simultaneously with the
addition of a third sensor (not shown). Optional voltage
(position) feedback can be derived by measuring two
phase voltages (CH3A, CH4A). Typically, an isolated
differential amplifier is used between the motor and the
MAX115/MAX116. Again, the third phase voltage can
be derived from the magnitude (phase voltage) and its
relative phase.
For optimum speed control and good load regulation
close to zero speed, additional velocity and position
feedback are derived from an encoder or resolver and
brought to the MAX115/MAX116 at CH4B. The addi-
tional channels can be used to evaluate slower analog
inputs, such as the main DC bus voltage (CH2B), temperature sensors (CH3B), or other analog inputs (AUX,
CH1B).
Power-Supply Bypassing
and Ground Management
For optimum system performance, use printed circuit
boards with separate analog and digital ground planes.
Wire-wrapped boards are not recommended. Connect
the two ground planes together at the low-impedance
power-supply source. For the best ground connection,
connect the DGND and AGND pins together and connect that point to the system analog ground plane to
avoid interference from other digital noise sources. If
DGND is connected to the system digital ground, digital noise may get through to the ADC’s analog portion.
The AGND pins must be connected directly to a lowimpedance ground plane. Extra impedance between
the pins and the ground plane increases crosstalk and
degrades INL.
