400ksps/300ksps, Single-Supply, Low-Power,
Serial 10-Bit ADCs with Internal Reference
Features
♦ Single-Supply Operation
+4.5V to +5.5V (MAX1084)
+2.7V to +3.6V (MAX1085)
The 3-wire serial interface connects directly to
SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™ devices without external
logic. The devices use an external serial-interface clock to
perform successive-approximation analog-to-digital conversions.
♦ Internal Track/Hold
Low power combined with ease of use and small package size make these converters ideal for remote-sensor
and data-acquisition applications, or for other circuits with
demanding power consumption and space requirements.
The MAX1084/MAX1085 are available in 8-pin SO
packages.
These devices are pin-compatible, higher-speed versions
of the MAX1242/MAX1243; for more information, refer to
the respective data sheets.

MAX1084/MAX1085
General Description
The MAX1084/MAX1085 10-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) combine a high-bandwidth track/hold, a serial
interface with high conversion speed, an internal +2.5V
reference, and low power consumption. The MAX1084
operates from a single +4.5V to +5.5V supply; the
MAX1085 operates from a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply.

_______________Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX1084/MAX1085 use an input track/hold (T/H)
and successive-approximation register (SAR) circuitry to
convert an analog input signal to a digital 10-bit output.
Figure 3 shows the MAX1084/MAX1085 in their simplest
configuration. The internal reference is trimmed to 2.5V.
The serial interface requires only three digital lines
(SCLK, CS, and DOUT) and provides an easy interface to
microprocessors (µPs).
The MAX1084/MAX1085 have two modes: normal and
shutdown. Pulling SHDN low shuts the device down and
reduces supply current to 2µA (typ); pulling SHDN high
puts the device into operational mode. Pulling CS low initiates a conversion that is driven by SCLK. The conversion result is available at DOUT in unipolar serial format.
The serial data stream consists of three zeros, followed
by the data bits (MSB first). All transitions on DOUT
occur 20ns after the rising edge of SCLK. Figures 8 and
9 show the interface timing information.

Analog Input
Figure 4 shows the sampling architecture of the ADC’s
comparator. The full-scale input voltage is set by the
internal reference (VREF = +2.5V).
Track/Hold
In track mode, the analog signal is acquired and stored
in the internal hold capacitor. In hold mode, the T/H
switch opens and maintains a constant input to the
ADC’s SAR section.
During acquisition, the analog input AIN charges
capacitor CHOLD. Bringing CS low ends the acquisition
interval. At this instant, the T/H switches the input side
of CHOLD to GND. The retained charge on CHOLD represents a sample of the input, unbalancing node ZERO at
the comparator’s input.
In hold mode, the capacitive digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) adjusts during the remainder of the conversion
cycle to restore node ZERO to 0 within the limits of 10bit resolution. This action is equivalent to transferring a
charge from CHOLD to the binary-weighted capacitive

tACQ = 7(RS + RIN) ✕ 12pF
where R IN = 800Ω, R S = the input signal’s source
impedance, and t ACQ is never less than 468ns
(MAX1284) or 625ns (MAX1085). Source impedance
below 4kΩ does not significantly affect the ADC’s AC
performance.
Higher source impedances can be used if a 0.01µF
capacitor is connected to the analog input. Note that
the input capacitor forms an RC filter with the input
source impedance, limiting the ADC’s input signal
bandwidth.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input tracking circuitry has a 6MHz
(MAX1084) or 3MHz (MAX1085) small-signal bandwidth, so it is possible to digitize high-speed transient
events and measure periodic signals with bandwidths
exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by using undersampling techniques. To avoid aliasing of unwanted
high-frequency signals into the frequency band of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.
Analog Input Protection
Internal protection diodes, which clamp the analog
input to VDD and GND, allow the input to swing from
GND - 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V without damage.
If the analog input exceeds 50mV beyond the supplies,
limit the input current to 2mA.
Internal Reference
The MAX1084/MAX1085 have an on-chip voltage reference trimmed to 2.5V. The internal reference output is
connected to REF and also drives the internal capacitive
DAC. The output can be used as a reference voltage
source for other components and can source up to
800µA. Bypass REF with a 4.7µF capacitor. Larger
capacitors increase wake-up time when exiting shutdown (see Using SHDN to Reduce Supply Current). The
internal reference is disabled in shutdown (SHDN = 0).
MAX1084/MAX1085
DAC, which in turn forms a digital representation of the
analog input signal. At the conversion’s end, the input
side of C HOLD switches back to AIN, and C HOLD
charges to the input signal again.
The time required for the T/H to acquire an input signal
is a function of how quickly its input capacitance is
charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high,
the acquisition time lengthens, and more time must be
allowed between conversions. The acquisition time,
tACQ, is the maximum time the device takes to acquire
the signal and the minimum time needed for the signal
to be acquired. Acquisition time is calculated by:

Initialization After Power-Up and
Starting a Conversion
When power is first applied, and if SHDN is not pulled
low, it takes the fully discharged 4.7µF reference
bypass capacitor up to 1.4ms to acquire adequate
charge for specified accuracy. No conversions should
be performed during this time.

To start a conversion, pull CS low. At CS’s falling edge,
the T/H enters its hold mode and a conversion is initiated. Data can then be shifted out serially with the external clock.
Using SHDN to Reduce Supply Current
Power consumption can be reduced significantly by
shutting down the MAX1084/MAX1085 between conversions. Figure 6 shows a plot of average supply current
vs. conversion rate. The wake-up time, tWAKE, is the
time from SHDN deasserted to the time when a conversion may be initiated (Figure 5).This time depends on
the time in shutdown (Figure 7) because the external
4.7µF reference bypass capacitor loses charge slowly
during shutdown and can be as long as 1.4ms.
needed to shift out these bits. Extra clock pulses occurring after the conversion result has been clocked out,
and prior to a rising edge of CS, produce trailing zeros
at DOUT and have no effect on converter operation.
Pull CS high after reading the conversion’s LSB. For
maximum throughput, CS can be pulled low again to initiate the next conversion immediately after the specified
minimum time (tCS).
Output Coding and Transfer Function
The data output from the MAX1084/MAX1085 is binary.
Figure 10 depicts the nominal transfer function. Code
transitions occur halfway between successive-integer
LSB values; VREF = 2.5V, and 1LSB = 2.44mV or 2.5V /
1024.
Timing and Control
Conversion-start and data-read operations are controlled by the CS and SCLK digital inputs. The timing
diagrams of Figures 8 and 9 outline serial-interface
operation.
A CS falling edge initiates a conversion sequence: the
T/H stage holds the input voltage, the ADC begins to
convert, and DOUT changes from high impedance to
logic low. SCLK is used to drive the conversion
process, and it shifts data out as each bit of conversion
is determined.
SCLK begins shifting out the data after the rising edge
of the third SCLK pulse. DOUT transitions 20ns after
each SCLK rising edge. The third rising clock edge
produces the MSB of the conversion at DOUT, followed
by the remaining bits. Since there are 12 data bits and
3 leading zeros, at least 15 rising clock edges are
Applications Information
Connection to Standard Interfaces
The MAX1084/MAX1085 serial interface is fully compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE (Figure 11).
If a serial interface is available, set the CPU’s serial
interface in master mode so the CPU generates the serial clock. Choose a clock frequency up to 6.4MHz
(MAX1084) or 4.8MHz (MAX1085).
1) Use a general-purpose I/O line on the CPU to pull CS
low. Keep SCLK low.
2) Activate SCLK for a minimum of 13 clock cycles. The
first two clocks produce zeros at DOUT. DOUT output
data transitions 20ns after SCLK rising edge and is
available in MSB-first format. Observe the SCLK-toDOUT valid timing characteristic. Data can be clocked
into the µP on SCLK’s falling or rising edge.

3) Pull CS high at or after the 13th rising clock edge. If
CS remains low, the two sub-bits and trailing zeros
are clocked out after the LSB.
4) With CS = high, wait the minimum specified time, tCS,
before initiating a new conversion by pulling CS low.
If a conversion is aborted by pulling CS high before
the conversion completes, wait the minimum acquisition time, tACQ, before starting a new conversion. CS
must be held low until all data bits are clocked out.
Data can be output in 2 bytes or continuously, as shown
in Figure 8. The bytes contain the result of the conversion
padded with three leading zeros, 2 sub-bits, and trailing
zeros if SCLK is still active with CS kept low.
SPI and Microwire
When using SPI or QSPI, set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0.
Conversion begins with a CS falling edge. DOUT goes
low, indicating a conversion is in progress. Two consecutive 1-byte reads are required to get the full 10+2
bits from the ADC. DOUT output data transitions on
SCLK’s rising edge and is clocked into the µP on the
following rising edge.
The first byte contains 3 leading zeros, and 5 bits of
conversion result. The second byte contains the remaining 5 bits, 2 sub-bits, and 1 trailing zero. See Figure 11
for connections and Figure 12 for timing.

the 10 bits of data from the ADC, QSPI allows the minimum number of clock cycles necessary to clock in the
data. The MAX1084/MAX1085 require 13 clock cycles
from the µP to clock out the 10 bits of data. Additional
clock cycles clock out the 2 sub-bits followed by trailing
zeros. Figure 13 shows a transfer using CPOL = 0 and
CPHA = 1. The result of conversion contains two zeros
followed by the 10 bits of data in MSB-first format.
Layout and Grounding
For best performance, use PC boards. Wire-wrap
boards are not recommended. Board layout should
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 14 shows the recommended system ground connections. Establish a single-point analog ground (“star”

are measured using the endpoints method.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between
an actual step width and the ideal value of 1LSB. A
DNL error specification of 1LSB or less guarantees no
missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in
the time between the samples.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay (tAD) is the time defined between the
falling edge of CS and the instant when an actual sample is taken.
Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity
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 endpoints of the transfer function,
once offset and gain errors have been nullified. The
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital
samples, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio of fullscale analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quantization
error (residual error). The theoretical minimum analogto-digital noise is caused by quantization error and
results directly from the ADC’s resolution, (N bits):

Connect all other analog grounds and GND to this star
ground point for further noise reduction. No other digital
system ground should be connected to this single-point
analog ground. The ground return to the power supply for
this ground should be low impedance and as short as
possible for noise-free operation.
High-frequency noise in the VDD power supply may affect
the ADC’s high-speed comparator. Bypass this supply to
the single-point analog ground with 0.1µF and 10µF
bypass capacitors. Minimize capacitor lead lengths for
best supply-noise rejection. To reduce the effect of supply noise, a 10Ω resistor can be connected as a lowpass
filter to attenuate supply noise (Figure 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
R* = 10Ω
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:

SNR = (6.02 ✕ N + 1.76)dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantization noise, including thermal noise, reference noise,
clock jitter, etc. Therefore, 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.
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion
Signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) is the ratio of the
