150ksps, 12-Bit, 2-Channel Single-Ended, and
1-Channel True-Differential ADCs in SOT23
The MAX1286–MAX1289 are low-cost, micropower, serial output 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)
available in a tiny 8-pin SOT23. The MAX1286/MAX1288
operate with a single +5V supply. The MAX1287/
MAX1289 operate with a single +3V supply. The
devices feature a successive-approximation ADC, automatic shutdown, fast wakeup (1.4µs), and a high-speed
3-wire interface. Power consumption is only 0.5mW
(V DD = +2.7V) at the maximum sampling rate of
150ksps. AutoShutdown™ (0.2µA) between conversions
results in reduced power consumption at slower
throughput rates. The MAX1286/MAX1287 provide
2-channel, single-ended operations and accept input
signals from 0 to VREF. The MAX1288/MAX1289 accept
true-differential inputs ranging from 0 to VREF. Data is
accessed using an external clock through the 3-wire
SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™–compatible serial interface. Excellent dynamic performance, low power, ease
of use, and small package size make these converters
ideal for portable battery-powered data-acquisition
applications, and for other applications that demand low
power consumption and minimal space.

SCLK
Serial Clock Input. Clocks out data at DOUT MSB first.
Detailed Description
The MAX1286–MAX1289 ADCs use a successiveapproximation conversion (SAR) technique and an onchip track-and-hold (T/H) structure to convert an
analog signal into a 12-bit digital result.
The serial interface provides easy interfacing to microprocessors (µPs). Figure 3 shows the simplified internal
structure for the MAX1286/MAX1287 (2 channels, single ended) and the MAX1288/MAX1289 (1 channel,
true differential).

The equivalent circuit of Figure 4 shows the
MAX1286–MAX1289s’ input architecture, which is composed of a T/H, input multiplexer, comparator, and
switched-capacitor DAC. The T/H enters its tracking
mode on the rising edge of CNVST. The positive input
capacitor is connected to AIN1 or AIN2 (MAX1286/
MAX1287) or AIN+ (MAX1288/MAX1289). The negative
input capacitor is connected to GND (MAX1286/
MAX1287) or AIN- (MAX1288/MAX1289). The T/H
enters its hold mode on the falling edge of CNVST and
the difference between the sampled positive and negative input voltages is converted. The time required for
the T/H to acquire an input signal is determined by how
quickly its input capacitance is charged. If the input
signal’s source impedance is high, the acquisition time
lengthens, and CNVST must be held high for a longer
period of time. The acquisition time, tACQ, is the maximum time needed for the signal to be acquired, plus
the power-up time. It is calculated by the following
equation:
tACQ = 9 x (RS + RIN) x 24pF + tPWR

where RIN = 1.5kΩ, RS is the source impedance of the
input signal, and tPWR = 1µs is the power-up time of the
device.
Note: tACQ is never less than 1.4µs and any source
impedance below 300Ω does not significantly affect the
ADC’s AC performance. A high-impedance source can
be accommodated either by lengthening tACQ or by
placing a 1µF capacitor between the positive and negative analog inputs.
Selecting AIN1 or AIN2
(MAX1286/MAX1287)
Select one of the MAX1286/MAX1287s’ two positive
input channels using the CNVST pin. If AIN1 is desired
(Figure 5a), drive CNVST high to power up the ADC
and place the T/H in track mode with AIN1 connected
to the positive input capacitor. Hold CNVST high for
tACQ to fully acquire the signal. Drive CNVST low to
place the T/H in hold mode. The ADC then performs a
conversion and shutdown automatically. The MSB is
available at DOUT after 3.7µs. Data can then be
clocked out using SCLK. Clock out all 12 bits of data
before driving CNVST high for the next conversion. If all
12 bits of data are not clocked out before CNVST is driven high, AIN2 is selected for the next conversion.
If AIN2 is desired (Figure 5b), drive CNVST high for at
least 30ns. Next, drive it low for at least 30ns, and then
high again. This powers up the ADC and places the
T/H in track mode with AIN2 connected to the positive
input capacitor. Now hold CNVST high for tACQ to fully
acquire the signal. Drive CNVST low to place the T/H in
hold mode. The ADC then performs a conversion and
shutdown automatically. The MSB is available at DOUT
after 3.7µs. Data can then be clocked out using SCLK.
8
Initiate true-differential conversions with the
MAX1288/MAX1289s’ unipolar and bipolar modes,
using the CNVST pin. AIN+ and AIN- are sampled at
the falling edge of CNVST. In unipolar mode, AIN+ can
exceed AIN- by up to V REF . The output format is
straight binary. In bipolar mode, either input can
exceed the other by up to VREF/2. The output format is
two’s complement.
Note: In both modes, AIN+ and AIN- must not exceed
VDD by more than 50mV or be lower than GND by more
than 50mV.
If unipolar mode is desired (Figure 5a), drive CNVST
high to power up the ADC and place the T/H in track
mode with AIN+ and AIN- connected to the input
capacitors. Hold CNVST high for tACQ to fully acquire
the signal. Drive CNVST low to place the T/H in hold
mode. The ADC then performs a conversion and shutdown automatically. The MSB is available at DOUT
after 3.7µs. Data can then be clocked out using SCLK.
Clock out all 12 bits of data before driving CNVST high
for the next conversion. If all 12 bits of data are not
clocked out before CNVST is driven high, bipolar mode
is selected for the next conversion.
If bipolar mode is desired (Figure 5b), drive CNVST
high for at least 30ns. Next, drive it low for at least 30ns
and then high again. This places the T/H in track mode
with AIN+ and AIN- connected to the input capacitors.
Now hold CNVST high for tACQ to fully acquire the signal. Drive CNVST low to place the T/H in hold mode.
The ADC then performs a conversion and shutdown
automatically. The MSB is available at DOUT after
3.7µs. Data can then be clocked out using SCLK. If all
12 bits of data are not clocked out before CNVST is driven high, bipolar mode is selected for the next conversion.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input tracking circuitry has a 1MHz 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 high-frequency signals being aliased into the frequency band
of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.

Analog Input Protection
Internal Clock
Internal protection diodes that clamp the analog input to
VDD and GND allow the analog input pins to swing from
GND - 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V without damage. Both inputs
must not exceed VDD by more than 50mV or be lower
than GND by more than 50mV for accurate conversions.
If an off-channel analog input voltage exceeds the
supplies, limit the input current to 2mA.
The MAX1286–MAX1289 operate from an internal oscillator, which is accurate within 10% of the 4MHz specified
clock rate. This results in a worst-case conversion time of
3.7µs. The internal clock releases the system microprocessor from running the SAR conversion clock and
allows the conversion results to be read back at the
processor’s convenience, at any clock rate from 0 to
8MHz.

Output Data Format
External Reference
Figures 5a and 5b illustrate the conversion timing for the
MAX1286–MAX1289. The 12-bit conversion result is output in MSB-first format. Data on DOUT transitions
on the falling edge of SCLK. All 12 bits must be clocked
out before CNVST transitions again. For the MAX1288/
MAX1289, data is straight binary for unipolar mode and
two’s complement for bipolar mode. For the MAX1286/
MAX1287, data is always straight binary.
An external reference is required for the MAX1286–
MAX1289. Use a 0.1µF bypass capacitor for best performance. The reference input structure allows a voltage range of +1V to VDD + 50mV.
Transfer Function
Figure 6 shows the unipolar transfer function for the
MAX1286–MAX1289. Figure 7 shows the bipolar transfer
function for the MAX1288/MAX1289. Code transitions
occur halfway between successive-integer LSB values.
Applications Information
Automatic Shutdown Mode
With CNVST low, the MAX1286–MAX1289 default to an
AutoShutdown state (<0.2µA) after power-up and
between conversions. After detecting a rising edge on
CNVST, the part powers up, sets DOUT low, and enters
track mode. After detecting a falling edge on CNVST, the
device enters hold mode and begins the conversion. A
maximum of 3.7µs later, the device completes conversion, enters shutdown, and MSB is available at DOUT.
Connection to Standard Interfaces
The MAX1286–MAX1289 feature a serial interface that is
fully compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE. If a
serial interface is available, establish the CPU’s serial
interface as a master, so that the CPU generates the serial clock for the ADCs. Select a clock frequency up to
8MHz.
How to Perform a Conversion
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Use a general-purpose I/O line on the CPU to hold
CNVST low between conversions.
Drive CNVST high to acquire AIN1(MAX1286/
MAX1287) or unipolar mode (MAX1288/MAX1289).
To acquire AIN2 (MAX1286/MAX1287) or bipolar
mode (MAX1288/MAX1289), drive CNVST low and
high again.
Hold CNVST high for 1.4µs.
Drive CNVST low and wait approximately 3.7µs for
conversion to complete. After 3.7µs, the MSB is
available at DOUT.
Activate SCLK for a minimum of 12 rising clock

DOUT then goes high impedance (Figure 9b).
SPI and MICROWIRE Interface
The MAX1286–MAX1289 are compatible with a
PIC16/PIC17 µC, using the synchronous serial port
(SSP) module
To establish SPI communication, connect the controller
as shown in Figure 10a and configure the PIC16/PIC17
as system master. This is done by initializing its synchronous serial port control register (SSPCON) and
synchronous serial port status register (SSPSTAT) to
the bit patterns shown in Tables 1 and 2.
In SPI mode, the PIC16/PIC17 µCs allow 8 bits of data
to be synchronously transmitted and received simultaneously. Two consecutive 8-bit readings (Figure 10b)
are necessary to obtain the entire 12-bit result from the
ADC. DOUT data transitions on the serial clock’s falling
edge and is clocked into the µC on SCLK’s rising edge.
The first 8-bit data stream contains the first 8 data bits
starting with the MSB. The second data stream contains the remaining bits, D3 through D0.
When using an SPI (Figure 8a) or MICROWIRE interface (Figures 8a and 8b), set CPOL = CPHA = 0. Two
8-bit readings are necessary to obtain the entire 12-bit
result from the ADC. DOUT data transitions on the serial clock’s falling edge and is clocked into the µP on
SCLK’s rising edge. The first 8-bit data stream contains
the first 8-bits of DOUT starting with the MSB. The second 8-bit data stream contains the remaining four result
bits. DOUT then goes high impedance.
QSPI Interface
Using the high-speed QSPI interface (Figure 9a) with
CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0, the MAX1286–MAX1289
support a maximum fSCLK of 8MHz. One 12- to 16-bit
reading is necessary to obtain the entire 12-bit result
from the ADC. DOUT data transitions on the serial
clock’s falling edge and is clocked into the µP on

Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use printed circuit (PC) boards.
Wire-wrap configurations are not recommended since
the layout should ensure proper separation of analog
and digital traces. Do not run analog and digital lines
parallel to each other, and do not lay out digital signal
paths underneath the ADC package. Use separate
analog and digital PC board ground sections with only

systems (analog and digital). For lowest-noise operation, ensure the ground return to the star ground’s
power supply is low impedance and as short as possible. Route digital signals far away from sensitive analog
and reference inputs.
High-frequency noise in the power supply (VDD) may
degrade the performance of the ADC’s fast comparator.
Bypass VDD to the star ground with a 0.1µF capacitor,
located as close as possible to the MAX1286–MAX1289s’
power-supply pin. Minimize capacitor lead length for best
supply-noise rejection. Add an attenuation resistor (5Ω) if
the power supply is extremely noisy.

Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values
on an actual transfer function from a straight line. This
straight line can be either a best-straight-line fit or a line
drawn between the end points of the transfer function,
once offset and gain errors have been nullified. The static linearity parameters for the MAX1286–MAX1289 are
measured using the end-point method.

Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between
an actual step width and the ideal value of 1LSB. A

no missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.

Aperture Definitions
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in
the time between the samples. Aperture delay (tAD) is
the time between the rising edge of the sampling clock
and the instant when an actual sample is taken.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital samples, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio of full-scale
analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quantization error
(residual error). The ideal, theoretical minimum analog-todigital noise is caused by quantization error only and
results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):
SNR = (6.02 ✕ N + 1.76)dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantization noise: thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter,
etc. SNR is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS
signal to the RMS noise, which includes all spectral
components minus the fundamental, the first five harmonics, and the DC offset.
14
Effective Number of Bits
Effective number of bits (ENOB) indicates the global
accuracy of an ADC at a specific input frequency and
sampling rate. An ideal ADC’s error consists of quantization noise only. With an input range equal to the fullscale range of the ADC, calculate the effective number
of bits as follows:
ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76) / 6.02
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of the first five harmonics of the input signal to the
fundamental itself. This is expressed as:

V22 + V32 + V42 + V52
THD = 20 × log 

V1





where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2 through
V5 are the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 5th-order harmonics.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
Spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is the ratio of RMS
amplitude of the fundamental (maximum signal component) to the RMS value of the next-largest distortion
component.
