Two software-selectable powerdown modes enable the MAX1266/MAX1268 to be shut down between conversions; accessing the parallel interface returns them to normal operation. Powering down between conversions can reduce supply below 10µA at lower sampling rates. Both devices offer software-configurable analog inputs for unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differential operation. In single-ended mode, the MAX1266 has six input channels and the MAX1268 has two (three input channels and one input channel, respectively, when in pseudo-differential mode). Excellent dynamic performance and low power, combined with ease of use and small package size, make these converters ideal for battery-powered and dataacquisition applications or for other circuits with demanding power-consumption and space requirements. The MAX1266 is offered in a 28-pin QSOP package, while the MAX1268 is available in a 24-pin QSOP. For pin-compatible +3V, 12-bit versions, see the MAX1265/MAX1267.

Figure 2. Simplified Functional Diagram _______________Detailed Description Converter Operation The MAX1266/MAX1268 ADCs use a successive-approximation (SAR) conversion technique and an input 8 track/hold (T/H) stage to convert an analog input signal to a 12-bit digital output. This output format provides easy interface to standard microprocessors (µPs). Figure 2 shows the simplified internal architecture of the MAX1266/ MAX1268. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 420ksps, +5V, 6-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs with +2.5V Reference and Parallel Interface tial mode, IN+ and IN- are selected from analog input pairs (Table 3) and are internally switched to either of the analog inputs. This configuration is pseudo-differential to the effect that only the signal at IN+ is sampled. The return side (IN-) must remain stable within ±0.5 LSB (±0.1 LSB for best performance) with respect to GND during a conversion. To accomplish this, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from IN- (the selected input) to GND. The sampling architecture of the ADC’s analog comparator is illustrated in the equivalent input circuits of Figure 3. In single-ended mode, IN+ is internally switched to channels CH0–CH5 for the MAX1266 (Figure 3a) and to CH0–CH1 for the MAX1268 (Figure 3b), while IN- is switched to COM (Table 2).

During the acquisition interval, the channel selected as the positive input (IN+) charges capacitor CHOLD. At the end of the acquisition interval, the T/H switch opens, retaining charge on CHOLD as a sample of the signal at IN+. The conversion interval begins with the input multiplexer switching CHOLD from the positive input (IN+) to the negative input (IN-). This unbalances node zero at the comparator’s positive input. The capacitive digital-toanalog converter (DAC) adjusts during the remainder of the conversion cycle to restore node 0 to 0V within the limits of 12-bit resolution. This action is equivalent to transferring a 12pF [(VIN+ - VIN-)] charge from CHOLD to the binary-weighted capacitive DAC, which in turn forms a digital representation of the analog input signal. Analog Input Protection Internal protection diodes, which clamp the analog input to VDD and GND, allow each input channel to swing within (GND - 300mV) to (VDD + 300mV) without damage. However, for accurate conversions near full scale, both inputs must not exceed (VDD + 50mV) or be less than (GND - 50mV). 10 If an analog input voltage exceeds the supplies by more than 50mV, limit the forward-bias input current to 4mA. Track/Hold The MAX1266/MAX1268 T/H stage enters its tracking mode on the rising edge of WR. In external acquisition mode, the part enters its hold mode on the next on rising edge of WR. In internal acquisition mode, the part enters its hold mode on the fourth falling edge of clock after writing the control byte. Note that, in internal clock mode, this is approximately 1µs after writing the control byte. In single-ended operation, IN- is connected to COM and the converter samples the positive (+) input. In pseudo-differential operation, IN- connects to the negative (-) input, and the difference of |(IN+) - (IN-)| is sampled. At the beginning of the next conversion, the positive input connects back to IN+ and C HOLD charges to the input signal. The time required for the T/H stage to acquire an input signal depends on how quickly its input capacitance is charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high, ______________________________________________________________________________________ 420ksps, +5V, 6-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs with +2.5V Reference and Parallel Interface tACQ = 9(RS + RIN)CIN where RS is the source impedance of the input signal, RIN (800Ω) is the input resistance, and CIN (12pF) is the ADC’s input capacitance. Source impedances below 3kΩ have no significant impact on the MAX1266/ MAX1268s’ AC performance. Higher source impedances can be used if a 0.01µF capacitor is connected to the individual analog inputs. Together with the input impedance, this capacitor forms an RC filter, limiting the ADC’s signal bandwidth. Input Bandwidth The MAX1266/MAX1268 T/H stage offers a 350kHz fulllinear and a 6MHz full-power bandwidth. This makes it possible to digitize high-speed transients 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. Starting a Conversion Initiate a conversion by writing a control byte, which selects the multiplexer channel and configures the MAX1266/MAX1268 for either unipolar or bipolar operation. A write pulse (WR + CS) can either start an acquisition interval or initiate a combined acquisition plus conversion. The sampling interval occurs at the end of the acquisition interval. The ACQMOD (acquisition mode) bit in the input control byte (Table 1) offers two options for acquiring the signal: an internal and an external acquisition. The conversion period lasts for 13 clock cycles in either the internal or external clock or acquisition mode. Writing a new control byte during a conversion cycle aborts the conversion and starts a new acquisition interval. Internal Acquisition Select internal acquisition by writing the control byte with the ACQMOD bit cleared (ACQMOD = 0). This causes the write pulse to initiate an acquisition interval whose duration is internally timed. Conversion starts when this acquisition interval (three external clock cycles or approximately 1µs in internal clock mode) ends (Figure 4). Note that, when the internal acquisition is combined with the internal clock, the aperture jitter can be as high as 200ps. Internal clock users wishing to achieve the 50ps jitter specification should always use external acquisition mode. External Acquisition Use external acquisition mode for precise control of the sampling aperture and/or dependent control of acquisition and conversion times. The user controls acquisition and start-of-conversion with two separate write pulses. The first pulse, written with ACQMOD = 1, starts an acquisition interval of indeterminate length. The second write pulse, written with ACQMOD = 0 (all other bits in control byte unchanged), terminates acquisition and starts conversion on WR rising edge (Figure 5). The address bits for the input multiplexer must have the same values on the first and second write pulse. Power-down mode bits (PD0, PD1) can assume new values on the second write pulse (see Power-Down Modes section). Changing other bits in the control byte corrupts the conversion. Reading a Conversion A standard interrupt signal, INT, is provided to allow the MAX1266/MAX1268 to flag the µP when the conversion has ended and a valid result is available. INT goes low when the conversion is complete and the output data is ready (Figures 4 and 5). It returns high on the first read cycle or if a new control byte is written. Selecting Clock Mode The MAX1266/MAX1268 operate with either an internal or an external clock. Control bits D6 and D7 select either internal or external clock mode. The part retains the last-requested clock mode if a power-down mode is selected in the current input word. For both internal and external clock mode, internal or external acquisition can be used. At power-up, the MAX1266/MAX1268 enter the default external clock mode. Internal Clock Mode Select internal clock mode to release the µP from the burden of running the SAR conversion clock. Bit D7 of the control byte must be set to 1 and bit D6 must be set to zero. The internal clock frequency is then selected, resulting in a conversion time of 3.6µs. When using the internal clock mode, tie the CLK pin either high or low to prevent the pin from floating. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 MAX1266/MAX1268 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 is also the minimum time required for the signal to be acquired. Calculate this with the following equation: MAX1266/MAX1268 420ksps, +5V, 6-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs with +2.5V Reference and Parallel Interface tCS CS tACQ tCSWS tCSWH tWR tCONV WR tDH tDS CONTROL BYTE D11–D0 ACQMOD = 0 tINT1 INT RD tTR tD0 HIGH-Z VALID DATA DOUT HIGH-Z Figure 4.

The signals CS, WR, and RD control the write and read operations. CS represents the chipselect signal, which enables a µP to address the MAX1266/MAX1268 as an I/O port. When high, CS disables the CLK, WR, and RD inputs and forces the interface into a high-impedance (high-Z) state.

External Clock and WR Timing (External Acquisition Mode) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 MAX1266/MAX1268 External Clock Mode To select external clock mode, bits D6 and D7 of the control byte must be set to 1. Figure 6 shows the clock and WR timing relationship for internal (Figure 6a) and external (Figure 6b) acquisition modes with an external clock. For proper operation, a 100kHz to 7.6MHz clock frequency with 30% to 70% duty cycle is recommended. Operating the MAX1266/MAX1268 with clock frequencies lower than 100kHz is not recommended, because the resulting voltage droop across the hold capacitor in the T/H stage degrades performance.

Table 4 shows the control-byte format. Output Data Format The 12-bit-wide output format for both the MAX1266/ MAX1268 is binary in unipolar mode and two’s complement in bipolar mode. CS, RD, WR, INT, and the 12 bits of output data can interface directly to a 16-bit data bus. When reading the output data, CS and RD must be low. VDD = +5V 50kΩ MAX1266 MAX1268 330kΩ 50kΩ REFADJ 4.7µF REF 0.01µF Applications Information Power-On Reset When power is first applied, internal power-on reset circuitry activates the MAX1266/MAX1268 in external clock mode and sets INT high. After the power supplies stabilize, the internal reset time is 10µs; no conversions should be attempted during this phase. When using the internal reference, 500µs are required for VREF to stabilize. Internal and External Reference The MAX1266/MAX1268 can be used with an internal or external reference voltage. An external reference can be connected directly to REF or REFADJ. An internal buffer is designed to provide +2.5V at REF for both devices. The internally trimmed +1.22V reference is buffered with a +2.05V/V gain. Internal Reference The full-scale range with the internal reference is +2.5V with unipolar inputs and ±1.25V with bipolar inputs. The internal reference buffer allows for small adjustments (±100mV) in the reference voltage (Figure 7). Note: The reference buffer must be compensated with an external capacitor (4.7µF min) connected between REF and GND to reduce reference noise and switching spikes from the ADC. To further minimize reference noise, connect a 0.01µF capacitor between REFADJ and GND. External Reference With the MAX1266/MAX1268, an external reference can be placed at either the input (REFADJ) or the output (REF) of the internal-reference buffer amplifier. 14 Figure 7. Reference Adjustment with External Potentiometer Using the REFADJ input makes buffering the external reference unnecessary. The REFADJ input impedance is typically 17kΩ. When applying an external reference to REF, disable the internal reference buffer by connecting REFADJ to VDD. The DC input resistance at REF is 25kΩ. Therefore, an external reference at REF must deliver up to 200µA DC load current during a conversion and have an output impedance less than 10Ω. If the reference has higher output impedance or is noisy, bypass it close to the REF pin with a 4.7µF capacitor. Power-Down Modes To save power, place the converter in a low-current shutdown state between conversions. Select standby mode or shutdown mode using bits D6 and D7 of the control byte (Tables 1 and 4). In both software powerdown modes, the parallel interface remains active, but the ADC does not convert. Standby Mode While in standby mode, the supply current is typically 1mA. The part powers up on the next rising edge of WR and is ready to perform conversions. This quick turn-on time allows the user to realize significantly reduced power consumption for conversion rates below 420ksps. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 420ksps, +5V, 6-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs with +2.5V Reference and Parallel Interface MAX1266/MAX1268 Table 5.

Unipolar Transfer Functions Figure 9. Bipolar Transfer Functions Shutdown Mode Shutdown mode turns off all chip functions that draw quiescent current, reducing the typical supply current to 2µA immediately after the current conversion is completed. A rising edge on WR causes the MAX1266/ MAX1268 to exit shutdown mode and return to normal operation. To achieve full 12-bit accuracy with a 4.7µF reference bypass capacitor, 500µs is required after power-up. Waiting 500µs in standby mode, instead of in full-power mode, can reduce power consumption by a factor of 3 or more. When using an external reference, only 50µs is required after power-up. Enter standby mode by performing a dummy conversion with the control byte specifying standby mode. Note: Bypass capacitors larger than 4.7µF between REF and GND result in longer power-up delays. unipolar input/output (I/O) transfer function, and Figure 9 shows the bipolar I/O transfer function. Code transitions occur halfway between successive-integer LSB values. Output coding is binary, with 1 LSB = (VREF / 4096). Transfer Function Table 5 shows the full-scale voltage ranges for unipolar and bipolar modes. Figures 8 depicts the nominal Maximum Sampling Rate/ Achieving 475ksps When running at the maximum clock frequency of 7.6MHz, the specified throughput of 420ksps is achieved by completing a conversion every 18 clock cycles: 1 write cycle, 3 acquisition cycles, 13 conversion cycles, and 1 read cycle. This assumes that the results of the last conversion are read before the next control byte is written. It is possible to achieve higher throughputs, up to 475ksps, by first writing a control byte to begin the acquisition cycle of the next conversion, then reading the results of the previous conversion from the bus. This technique (Figure 10) allows a conversion to be completed every 16 clock cycles.

SUPPLIES Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing For best performance, use printed circuit boards. Wirewrap 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 one star point (Figure 11) connecting the two ground 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, could impair operation of the ADC’s fast comparator. Bypass VDD to the star ground with a network of two parallel capacitors, 0.1µF and 4.7µF, located as close to the MAX1266/MAX1268s’ power-supply pin as possible. Minimize capacitor lead length for best supply-noise rejection and add an attenuation resistor (5Ω) if the power supply is extremely noisy. 16 +5V R* = 5Ω +5V GND +5V DGND 4.7µF 0.1µF VDD GND COM MAX1266 MAX1268 DIGITAL CIRCUITRY *OPTIONAL Figure 11. Power-Supply and Grounding Connections ______________________________________________________________________________________ 420ksps, +5V, 6-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs with +2.5V Reference and Parallel Interface 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 end points of the transfer function, once offset and gain errors have been nullified. INL for the MAX1266/MAX1268 is measured using the endpoint method. Differential Nonlinearity Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between an actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A DNL error specification of less than 1 LSB 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 (t AD ) 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 the fullscale 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): SNR = (6.02 ✕ N + 1.76)dB Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion Signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) is the ratio of the fundamental input frequency’s RMS amplitude to the RMS equivalent of all other ADC output signals: SINAD (dB) = 20 ✕ log (SignalRMS / NoiseRMS) 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 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: THD = 20 × log V22 + V32 + V4 2 + V52 / 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 the RMS amplitude of the fundamental (maximum signal component) to the RMS value of the next-largest distortion component. In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantization noise, including thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter, etc. Therefore, SNR is calculated 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. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 MAX1266/MAX1268 Definitions 420ksps, +5V, 6-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs with +2.5V Reference and Parallel Interface MAX1266/MAX1268 Typical Operating Circuits CLK CLK +5V MAX1266 VDD µP CONTROL INPUTS CS REF WR REFADJ 0.1µF 4.7µF RD INT D11 µP CONTROL INPUTS OUTPUT STATUS CS REF WR REFADJ D11 D10 D9 D9 D8 D8 D7 CH3 CH2 D3 D3 D2 D1 COM D0 D0 GND µP DATA BUS CH1 CH0 ANALOG INPUTS COM GND µP DATA BUS Pin Configurations (continued) TOP VIEW D9 1 28 D10 D8 2 27 D11 D7 3 26 VDD D6 4 25 REF D5 5 D4 6 Chip Information TRANSISTOR COUNT: 5781 SUBSTRATE CONNECTED TO GND 24 REFADJ MAX1266 23 GND D3 7 22 COM D2 8 21 CH0 D1 9 20 CH1 D0 10 19 CH2 INT 11 18 CH3 RD 12 17 CH4 WR 13 16 CH5 CLK 14 15 CS QSOP 18 OUTPUT STATUS D5 CH0 D1 INT D4 ANALOG INPUTS CH1 D2 4.7µF D6 CH4 D4 0.1µF D7 CH5 D5 +2.5V RD D10 D6 +5V MAX1268 VDD +2.5V ______________________________________________________________________________________ 420ksps, +5V, 6-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs with +2.5V Reference and Parallel Interface QSOP.EPS Maxim cannot assume responsibility for use of any circuitry other than circuitry entirely embodied in a Maxim product.
