MAXIM MAX1394MTB

19-3720; Rev 0; 11/06
1.5V to 3.6V, 416ksps, 1-Channel True-Differential/
2-Channel Single-Ended, 8-Bit, SAR ADCs
The MAX1391/MAX1394 micropower, serial-output,
8-bit, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) operate with a
single power supply from +1.5V to +3.6V. These ADCs
feature automatic shutdown, fast wake-up, and a highspeed 3-wire interface. Power consumption is only
0.743mW (VDD = +1.5V) at the maximum conversion
rate of 416ksps. AutoShutdown™ between conversions
reduces power consumption at slower throughput rates.
The MAX1391/MAX1394 require an external reference
V REF that has a wide range from 0.6V to V DD . The
MAX1391 provides one true-differential analog input
that accepts signals ranging from 0 to VREF (unipolar
mode) or ±VREF/2 (bipolar mode). The MAX1394 provides two single-ended inputs that accept signals ranging from 0 to V REF . Analog conversion results are
available through a 5MHz 3-wire SPI™-/QSPI™-/
MICROWIRE™-/digital signal processor (DSP)-compatible serial interface. Excellent dynamic performance,
low voltage, low power, ease of use, and small package sizes make these converters ideal for portable battery-powered data-acquisition applications, as well as
other applications that demand low-power consumption
and minimal space.
The MAX1391/MAX1394 are available in a space-saving (3mm x 3mm), 10-pin TDFN package. The parts
operate over the extended (-40°C to +85°C) and military (-55°C to +125°C) temperature ranges.

on the 3rd falling edge after the CS falling edge. The LSB is clocked out on the SCLK 11th
falling edge and the device enters AutoShutdown mode (see Figures 8, 9, and 10).

Detailed Description
The MAX1391/MAX1394 use an input track and hold
(T/H) circuit along with a SAR to convert an analog input
signal to a serial 8-bit digital output data stream. The serial interface provides easy interfacing to microprocessors
and DSPs. Figure 3 shows the simplified functional diagram for the MAX1391 (1 channel, true differential) and
the MAX1394 (2 channels, single ended).
True-Differential Analog Input T/H
The equivalent input circuit of Figure 4 shows the
MAX1391/MAX1394 input architecture that is composed
of a T/H, a comparator, and a switched-capacitor DAC.
The T/H enters its tracking mode on the falling edge of
CS (while OE is held low). The positive input capacitor is
connected to AIN+ (MAX1391), or to AIN1 or AIN2
(MAX1394). The negative input capacitor is connected to
AIN- (MAX1391) or GND (MAX1394). The T/H enters its
hold mode on the 3rd falling edge of SCLK and the dif8

Analog Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input-tracking circuitry has a 4MHz fullpower bandwidth, making it possible to digitize highspeed transient events and measure periodic signals
with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by
using undersampling techniques.
Use anti-alias filtering to avoid high-frequency signals
being aliased into the frequency band of interest.
Analog Input Range and Protection
The MAX1391/MAX1394 produce a digital output that
corresponds to the analog input voltage as long as the
analog inputs are within their specified range. When
operating the MAX1391 in unipolar mode (UNI/BIP = 1),
the specified differential analog input range is from 0 to
VREF. When operating in bipolar mode (UNI/BIP = 0),
the differential analog input range is from -VREF/2 to
+VREF/2 with a common-mode range of 0 to VDD. The
MAX1394 has an input range from 0 to VREF.
Internal protection diodes confine the analog input voltage within the region of the analog power input rails
(VDD, GND) and allow the analog input voltage to swing
from GND - 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V without damage. Input
voltages beyond GND - 0.3V and VDD + 0.3V forward
bias the internal protection diodes. In this situation, limit
the forward diode current to less than 50mA to avoid
damage to the MAX1391/MAX1394.
Output Data Format
Figures 8, 9, and 10 illustrate the conversion timing for
the MAX1391/MAX1394. Twelve SCLK cycles are
required to read the conversion result and data on
DOUT transitions on the falling edge of SCLK. The conversion result contains 4 zeros, followed by 8 data bits
with the data in MSB-first format. For the MAX1391, data
is straight binary for unipolar mode and two’s complement for bipolar mode. For the MAX1394, data is always
straight binary.
TRACK
Transfer Function
Figure 5 shows the unipolar transfer function for the
MAX1391/MAX1394. Figure 6 shows the bipolar transfer function for the MAX1391. Code transitions occur
halfway between successive-integer LSB values.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

MAX1391/MAX1394
ference 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. The required
acquisition time lengthens as the input signal’s source
impedance increases. The acquisition time, tACQ, is the
minimum time needed for the signal to be acquired. It is
calculated by the following equation:
tACQ ≥ 5.6 x (RSOURCE + RIN) x CIN + tPU
where
RSOURCE is the source impedance of the input signal.
RIN = 500Ω, which is the equivalent differential analog
input resistance.
CIN = 16pF, which is the equivalent differential analog
input capacitance.
tPU = 400ns.
Note: tACQ is never less than 600ns and any source
impedance below 400Ω does not significantly affect the
ADC’s AC performance.

Applications Information
Starting a Conversion
A falling edge on CS initiates the power-up sequence
and begins acquiring the analog input as long as OE is
also asserted low. On the 3rd SCLK falling edge, the
analog input is held for conversion. The most significant
bit (MSB) decision is made and clocked onto DOUT on
the 4th SCLK falling edge. Valid DOUT data is available
to be clocked into the master (microcontroller (µC)) on
the following SCLK rising edge. The rest of the bits are
decided and clocked out to DOUT on each successive
SCLK falling edge. See Figures 8 and 9 for conversion
timing diagrams.
Once a conversion has been initiated, CS can go high at
any time. Further falling edges of CS do not reinitiate an
acquisition cycle until the current conversion completes.
Once a conversion completes, the first falling edge of CS
begins another acquisition/conversion cycle.

Serial Interface
The MAX1391/MAX1394 serial interface is fully compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE (see Figure 7). If a
serial interface is available, set the µC’s serial interface
in master mode so the µC generates the serial clock.
Choose a clock frequency between 100kHz and 5MHz.
CS and OE can be connected together and driven
simultaneously. OE can also be connected to GND if the
DOUT bus is not shared and driven independently.
SPI and MICROWIRE
When using SPI or MICROWIRE, make the µC the bus
master and set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0 or CPOL = 1
and CPHA = 1. (These are the bits in the SPI or
MICROWIRE control register.) Two consecutive 1-byte
reads are required to get the entire 8-bit result from the
ADC. The MAX1391/MAX1394 shut down after clocking
out the LSB. DOUT then becomes high impedance.
DOUT transitions on SCLK’s falling edge and is
clocked into the µC on the SCLK’s rising edge. See
Figure 7 for connections and Figures 8 and 9 for timing
diagrams. The conversion result contains 4 zeros, followed by the 8 data bits with the data in MSB-first format. When using CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0 or CPOL = 1
and CPHA = 1, the MSB of the data is clocked into the
µC on the SCLK’s fifth rising edge. To be compatible
with SPI and MICROWIRE, connect CS and OE together and drive simultaneously.
QSPI
Unlike SPI, which requires two 1-byte reads to acquire
the 8 bits of data from the ADC, QSPI allows the minimum number of clock cycles necessary to clock in the
data. The MAX1391/MAX1394 require a minimum of 12
clock cycles from the µC to clock out the 8 bits of data.
See Figure 7 for connections and Figures 8 and 9 for
timing diagrams. The conversion result contains 4
zeros, followed by the 8 data bits with the data in MSBfirst format. The MAX1391/MAX1394 shut down after
clocking out the LSB. DOUT then becomes high impedance. When using CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0 or CPOL =
1 and CPHA = 1, the MSB of the data is clocked into
the µC on the SCLK’s fifth rising edge. To be compatible with QSPI, connect CS and OE together and drive
simultaneously.

MAX1391/MAX1394
AutoShutdown Mode
The ADC automatically powers down on the SCLK
falling edge that clocks out the LSB. This is the falling
edge after the 11th SCLK. DOUT goes low when the
LSB has been clocked into the master (µC) on the 16th
rising SCLK edge.
Alternatively, drive OE high to force the MAX1391/
MAX1394 into power-down. Whenever OE goes high,
the ADC powers down and disables DOUT regardless
of CS, SCLK, or the state of the ADC. DOUT enters a
high-impedance state after tDOD.

As shown in Figure 11, drive the MAX1391/MAX1394
chip-select input (CS) with the DSP’s frame-sync signal.
OE may be connected to GND or driven independently.
For continuous conversion operation, keep OE low and
make the CS falling edge coincident with the 16th
falling edge of the SCLK.
Unregulated Two-Cell or Single Lithium
LiMnO2 Cell Operation
Low operating voltage (1.5V to 3.6V) and ultra-low-power
consumption make the MAX1391/MAX1394 ideal for low
cost, unregulated, battery-powered applications without
the need for a DC-DC converter. Power the MAX1391/
MAX1394 directly from two alkaline/NiMH/NiCd cells in
series or a single lithium coin cell as shown in the Typical
Operating Circuit.
Fresh alkaline cells have a voltage of approximately
1.5V per cell (3V with 2 cells in series) and approach
end of life at 0.8V (1.6V with 2 cells in series). A typical
2 x AA alkaline discharge curve is shown in Figure 12a.
A typical CR2032 lithium (LiMnO2) coin cell discharge
curve is shown in Figure 12b.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use PCBs. Board layout must
ensure that digital and analog signal lines are separated from each other. Do not run analog and digital
(especially clock) lines parallel to one another, or digital
lines underneath the ADC package.
Figure 13 shows the recommended system ground
connections. Establish a single-point analog ground
(star ground point) at the MAX1391/MAX1394s’ GND
pin or use the ground plane.
High-frequency noise in the power supply (V DD )
degrades the ADC’s performance. Bypass VDD to GND
with a 0.1µF capacitor as close to the device as possible. Minimize capacitor lead lengths for best supply
noise rejection. To reduce the effects of supply noise, a
10Ω resistor can be connected as a lowpass filter to
attenuate supply noise.
Exposed Pad
The MAX1391/MAX1394 TDFN package has an
exposed pad on the bottom of the package. This pad is
not internally connected. Connect the exposed pad to
the GND pin on the MAX1391/MAX1394 or leave floating for proper electrical performance.
Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
INL is the deviation of the values on an actual transfer
function from a straight line. For the MAX1391/
MAX1394, this straight line is between the end points of
the transfer function once offset and gain errors have
been nullified. INL deviations are measured at every
step and the worst-case deviation is reported in the
Electrical Characteristics section.

Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion (SINAD)
DNL is the difference between an actual step width and
the ideal value of 1 LSB. A DNL error specification less
than ±1 LSB guarantees no missing codes and a
monotonic transfer function. For the MAX1391/
MAX1394, DNL deviations are measured at every step
and the worst-case deviation is reported in the
Electrical Characteristics section.
SINAD is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS signal to the RMS noise plus the RMS distortion. RMS
noise includes all spectral components to the Nyquist
frequency excluding the fundamental, the first five harmonics (HD2–HD6), and the DC offset. RMS distortion
includes the first five harmonics (HD2–HD6).

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is a dynamic figure of merit that indicates the converter’s noise performance. For a waveform perfectly
reconstructed from digital samples, the theoretical
maximum SNR is the ratio of the full-scale analog input
(RMS value) to the RMS quantization error (residual
error). The ideal, theoretical minimum analog-to-digital
noise is caused by quantization error only and results
directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):
SNRdB[max] = 6.02dB x N + 1.76dB
In reality, there are other noise sources such as thermal
noise, reference noise, and clock jitter that also
degrade SNR. SNR is computed by taking the ratio of
the RMS signal to the RMS noise. RMS noise includes
all spectral components to the Nyquist frequency
excluding the fundamental, the first five harmonics, and
the DC offset.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is a dynamic figure of merit that indicates how much
harmonic distortion the converter adds to the signal.
THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the first five harmonics of the fundamental signal to the fundamental itself.
This is expressed as:

The fundamental input tone amplitudes (V1 and V2) are
at -6.5dBFS. 14 intermodulation products (V IM_) are
used in the MAX1391/MAX1394 IMD calculation. The
intermodulation products are the amplitudes of the output spectrum at the following frequencies, where f IN1
and fIN2 are the fundamental input tone frequencies:
• 2nd-order intermodulation products:
fIN1 + fIN2, fIN2 - fIN1
• 3rd-order intermodulation products:
2 x fIN1 - fIN2, 2 x fIN2 - fIN1, 2 x fIN1 + fIN2, 2 x fIN2 + fIN1
• 4th-order intermodulation products:
3 x fIN1 - fIN2, 3 x fIN2 - fIN1, 3 x fIN1 + fIN2, 3 x fIN2 + fIN1
• 5th-order intermodulation products:
3 x fIN1 - 2 x fIN2, 3 x fIN2 - 2 x fIN1, 3 x fIN1 + 2 x fIN2,
3 x fIN2 + 2 x fIN1
Channel-to-Channel Crosstalk
Channel-to-channel crosstalk indicates how well each
analog input is isolated from the others. The channel-tochannel crosstalk for the MAX1394 is measured by
applying DC to channel 2 while a sine wave is applied
to channel 1. An FFT is taken for channels 1 and 2, and
the difference (in dB) is reported as the channel-tochannel crosstalk.
Aperture Delay
The MAX1391/MAX1394 sample data on the falling
edge of its third SCLK cycle (Figure 14). In actuality,
there is a small delay between the falling edge of the
