MAXIM MAX1266BEEI

19-2722; Rev 0; 04/03
420ksps, +5V, 6-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs
with +2.5V Reference and Parallel Interface
Power consumption is only 10mW at the maximum sampling rate of 420ksps. 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.

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). In differen-

*Channels CH2–CH5 apply to MAX1266 only.
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.

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:

Digital Interface
The input and output data are multiplexed on a tri-state
parallel interface (I/O) that can easily be interfaced with
standard µPs. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
Note that the switching of the data bus during acquisi-

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.

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.
