19-3158; Rev 0; 1/04 1.8Msps, Single-Supply, Low-Power, True-Differential, 12-Bit ADCs The MAX1274/MAX1275 low-power, high-speed, serialoutput, 12-bit, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) operate at up to 1.8Msps. These devices feature true-differential inputs, offering better noise immunity, distortion improvements, and a wider dynamic range over singleended inputs. A standard SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™ interface provides the clock necessary for conversion. These devices easily interface with standard digital signal processor (DSP) synchronous serial interfaces. The MAX1274/MAX1275 operate from a single +4.75V to +5.25V supply voltage and require an external reference. The MAX1274 has a unipolar analog input, while the MAX1275 has a bipolar analog input. These devices feature a partial power-down mode and a full power-down mode for use between conversions, which lower the supply current to 1mA (typ) and 1µA (max), respectively. Also featured is a separate power-supply input (VL), which allows direct interfacing to +1.8V to VDD digital logic. The fast conversion speed, low-power dissipation, excellent AC performance, and DC accuracy (±1 LSB INL) make the MAX1274/MAX1275 ideal for industrial process control, motor control, and base-station applications. The MAX1274/MAX1275 come in a 12-pin TQFN package, and are available in the commercial (0°C to +70°C) and extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges.

Functional Diagram Detailed Description The MAX1274/MAX1275 use an input T/H and successive-approximation register (SAR) circuitry to convert an analog input signal to a digital 12-bit output. The serial interface requires only three digital lines (SCLK, CNVST, and DOUT) and provides easy interfacing to microprocessors (µPs) and DSPs. Figure 3 shows the simplified internal structure for the MAX1274/MAX1275. True-Differential Analog Input T/H The equivalent circuit of Figure 4 shows the input architecture of the MAX1274/MAX1275, which is composed of a T/H, a comparator, and a switched-capacitor digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The T/H enters its tracking mode on the 14th SCLK rising edge of the previous conversion. Upon power-up, the T/H enters its tracking mode immediately. The positive input capacitor is connected to AIN+. The negative input capacitor is connected to AIN-. 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. The acquisition time, tACQ, is the minimum time needed for COMP CONTROL LOGIC AINCIN- RIN- HOLD/CONVERSION MODE Figure 4. Equivalent Input Circuit the signal to be acquired. It is calculated by the following equation: tACQ ≥ 9 × (RS + RIN) × 16pF where RIN = 200Ω, and RS is the source impedance of the input signal. Note: tACQ is never less than 104ns and any source impedance below 12Ω does not significantly affect the ADC’s AC performance. Input Bandwidth The ADC’s input-tracking circuitry has a 20MHz smallsignal bandwidth, making 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 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 or be lower than GND for accurate conversions. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX1274/MAX1275 1.8Msps, Single-Supply, Low-Power, True-Differential, 12-Bit ADCs A CNVST 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 the conversion is determined. SCLK begins shifting out the data after the 4th rising edge of SCLK. DOUT transitions t DOUT after each SCLK’s rising edge and remains valid 4ns (tDHOLD) after the next rising edge. The 4th rising clock edge produces the MSB of the conversion at DOUT, and the MSB remains valid 4ns after the 5th rising edge. Since there are 12 data bits and 3 leading zeros, at least 16 rising clock edges are needed to shift out these bits. For continuous operation, pull CNVST high between the 14th and the 16th SCLK rising edges. If CNVST stays low after the falling edge of the 16th SCLK cycle, the DOUT line goes to a high-impedance state on either CNVST’s rising edge or the next SCLK’s rising edge. Serial Interface Initialization After Power-Up and Starting a Conversion Upon initial power-up, the MAX1274/MAX1275 require a complete conversion cycle to initialize the internal calibration. Following this initial conversion, the part is ready for normal operation. This initialization is only required after a hardware power-up sequence and is not required after exiting partial or full power-down mode. To start a conversion, pull CNVST low. At CNVST’s falling edge, the T/H enters its hold mode and a conversion is initiated. SCLK runs the conversion and the data can then be shifted out serially on DOUT. Timing and Control Conversion-start and data-read operations are controlled by the CNVST and SCLK digital inputs. Figures 1 and 5 show timing diagrams, which outline the serialinterface operation.

SPI Interface—Partial Power-Down Mode 10 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 1.8Msps, Single-Supply, Low-Power, True-Differential, 12-Bit ADCs Applications Information External Reference Power consumption can be reduced significantly by placing the MAX1274/MAX1275 in either partial power-down mode or full power-down mode. Partial power-down mode is ideal for infrequent data sampling and fast wakeup time applications. Pull CNVST high after the 3rd SCLK rising edge and before the 14th SCLK rising edge to enter and stay in partial power-down mode (see Figure 6). This reduces the supply current to 1mA. Drive CNVST low and allow at least 14 SCLK cycles to elapse before driving CNVST high to exit partial power-down mode. Full power-down mode is ideal for infrequent data sampling and very low supply current applications. The MAX1274/MAX1275 have to be in partial power-down mode in order to enter full power-down mode. Perform the SCLK/CNVST sequence described above to enter partial power-down mode. Then repeat the same sequence to enter full power-down mode (see Figure 7). Drive CNVST low, and allow at least 14 SCLK cycles to elapse before driving CNVST high to exit full powerdown mode. In partial/full power-down mode, maintain a logic low or a logic high on SCLK to minimize power consumption. An external reference is required for the MAX1274/ MAX1275. Use a 4.7µF and 0.01µF bypass capacitor on the REF pin for best performance. The reference input structure allows a voltage range of +1V to VDD. How to Start a Conversion An analog-to-digital conversion is initiated by CNVST, clocked by SCLK, and the resulting data is clocked out on DOUT by SCLK. With SCLK idling high or low, a falling edge on CNVST begins a conversion. This causes the analog input stage to transition from track to hold mode, and for DOUT to transition from high impedance to being actively driven low. A total of 16 SCLK cycles are required to complete a normal conversion. If CNVST is low during the 16th falling SCLK edge, DOUT returns to high impedance on the next rising edge of CNVST or SCLK, enabling the serial interface to be shared by multiple devices. If CNVST returns high after the 14th, but before the 16th SCLK rising edge, DOUT remains active so continuous conversions can be sustained. The highest throughput is achieved when performing continuous conversions. Figure 10 illustrates a conversion using a typical serial interface. Transfer Function Figure 8 shows the unipolar transfer function for the MAX1274. Figure 9 shows the bipolar transfer function for the MAX1275. The MAX1274 output is straight binary, while the MAX1275 output is two’s complement.

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 28.8MHz.

Unipolar Transfer Function (MAX1274 Only) When using SPI or MICROWIRE, the MAX1274/MAX1275 are compatible with all four modes programmed with the CPHA and CPOL bits in the SPI or MICROWIRE control register. Conversion begins with a CNVST falling edge. DOUT goes low, indicating a conversion is in progress. Two consecutive 1-byte reads are required to get the full 12 bits from the ADC. DOUT transitions on SCLK rising edges. DOUT is guaranteed to be valid tDOUT later and remains valid until tDHOLD after the following SCLK rising edge. When using CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0, or CPOL = 1 and CPHA = 1, the data is clocked into the µP on the following rising edge. When using CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 1, or CPOL = 1 and CPHA = 0, the data is clocked into the µP on the next falling edge. See Figure 11 for connections and Figures 12 and 13 for timing. See the Timing Characteristics section to determine the best mode to use.

The MAX1274/MAX1275 require 16 clock cycles from the µP to clock out the 12 bits of data. Figure 14 shows a transfer using CPOL = 1 and CPHA = 1. The conversion result contains three zeros, followed by the 12 data bits, and a trailing zero with the data in MSBfirst format. 000...000 DSP Interface to the TMS320C54_ 111...111 The MAX1274/MAX1275 can be directly connected to the TMS320C54_ family of DSPs from Texas Instruments, Inc. Set the DSP to generate its own clocks or use external clock signals. Use either the standard or buffered serial port. Figure 15 shows the simplest interface between the MAX1274/MAX1275 and the TMS320C54_, where the transmit serial clock (CLKX) drives the receive serial clock (CLKR) and SCLK, and the transmit frame sync (FSX) drives the receive frame sync (FSR) and CNVST. For continuous conversion, set the serial port to transmit a clock, and pulse the frame sync signal for a clock period before data transmission.

QSPI Serial-Interface Timing—Single Conversion (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1) frame sync (TXM = 1), CLKX driven by an on-chip clock source (MCM = 1), burst mode (FSM = 1), and 16-bit word length (FO = 0). This setup allows continuous conversions provided that the data transmit register (DXR) and the data-receive register (DRR) are serviced before the next conversion. Alternatively, autobuffering can be enabled when using the buffered serial port to execute conversions and read the data without CPU intervention. Connect the VL pin to the TMS320C54_ supply voltage when the MAX1274/MAX1275 are operating with an analog supply voltage higher than the DSP supply voltage. The 14 word length can be set to 8 bits with FO = 1 to implement the power-down modes. The CNVST pin must idle high to remain in either power-down state. Another method of connecting the MAX1274/MAX1275 to the TMS320C54_ is to generate the clock signals external to either device. This connection is shown in Figure 16, where serial clock (CLOCK) drives the CLKR, and SCLK and the convert signal (CONVERT) drive the FSR and CNVST. The serial port must be set up to accept an external receive-clock and external receive-frame sync. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 1.8Msps, Single-Supply, Low-Power, True-Differential, 12-Bit ADCs FSM = 1, burst mode FO = 0, data transmitted/received as 16-bit words This setup allows continuous conversion, provided that the DRR is serviced before the next conversion. Alternatively, autobuffering can be enabled when using the buffered serial port to read the data without CPU VL DSP Interface to the ADSP21_ _ _ DVDD MAX1274 SCLK MAX1275 The MAX1274/MAX1275 can be directly connected to the ADSP21_ _ _ family of DSPs from Analog Devices, Inc. Figure 19 shows the direct connection of the MAX1274/MAX1275 to the ADSP21_ _ _. There are two modes of operation that can be programmed to interface with the MAX1274/MAX1275. For continuous conversions, idle CNVST low and pulse it high for one clock cycle during the LSB of the previous transmitted word. The ADSP21_ _ _ STCTL and SRCTL registers should be configured for early framing (LAFR = 0) and for an active-high frame (LTFS = 0, LRFS = 0) signal. In this mode, the data-independent frame-sync bit (DITFS = 1) can be selected to eliminate the need for writing to the transmit-data register more than once. For single conversions, idle CNVST high and pulse it low for the entire conversion. The ADSP21_ _ _ STCTL and SRCTL registers should be configured for late framing (LAFR = 1) and for an active-low frame (LTFS = 1, LRFS = 1) signal. This is also the best way to enter the power-down modes by setting the word length to 8 bits (SLEN = 1001). Connect the VL pin to the ADSP21_ _ _ supply voltage when the MAX1274/MAX1275 are operating with a supply voltage higher than the DSP supply voltage (see Figures 17 and 18).

Connect the VL pin to the TMS320C54_ supply voltage when the MAX1274/ MAX1275 are operating with an analog supply voltage higher than the DSP supply voltage. The MAX1274/MAX1275 can also be connected to the TMS320C54_ by using the data transmit (DX) pin to drive CNVST and the CLKX generated internally to drive SCLK. A pullup resistor is required on the CNVST signal to keep it high when DX goes high impedance and 0001hex should be written to the DXR continuously for continuous conversions. The power-down modes may be entered by writing 00FFhex to the DXR (see Figures 17 and 18). CLOCK CONVERT Figure 16.

Interfacing to the ADSP21_ _ _ Figure 20 shows the recommended system ground connections. Establish a single-point analog ground (star ground point) at GND, separate from the logic ground. Connect all other analog grounds and DGND to this star ground point for further noise reduction. 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 can affect the ADC’s high-speed comparator. Bypass this supply to the single-point analog ground with 0.01µF and 10µF bypass capacitors. Minimize capacitor lead lengths for best supply-noise rejection. Definitions Integral Nonlinearity SUPPLIES GND VL 10µF 10µF 0.1µF 0.1µF VDD 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 MAX1274/MAX1275 are measured using the end-points method. Differential Nonlinearity GND RGND VL MAX1274 MAX1275 DGND VL DIGITAL CIRCUITRY Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between an actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A DNL error specification of 1 LSB 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. Figure 20. Power-Supply Grounding Condition Aperture Delay Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing 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. 16 Aperture delay (tAD) is the time defined between the falling edge of CNVST and the instant when an actual sample is taken. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 1.8Msps, Single-Supply, Low-Power, True-Differential, 12-Bit ADCs SNR = (6.02 x 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 fundamental input frequency’s RMS amplitude to the RMS equivalent of all other ADC output signals: SINAD(dB) = 20 x 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’s error consists of quantization noise only. With an input range equal to the full-scale range of the ADC, calculate the ENOB 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 x log V1 where V 1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V 2 through V5 are the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 5thorder 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. Full-Power Bandwidth Full-power bandwidth is the frequency at which the input signal amplitude attenuates by 3dB for a full-scale input. Full-Linear Bandwidth Full-linear bandwidth is the frequency at which the signal to noise plus distortion (SINAD) is equal to 68dB. Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) Any device with nonlinearities creates distortion products when two sine waves at two different frequencies (f1 and f2) are input into the device. Intermodulation distortion (IMD) is the total power of the IM2 to IM5 intermodulation products to the Nyquist frequency relative to the total input power of the two input tones, f1 and f2. The individual input tone levels are at -7dBFS. The intermodulation products are as follows: • 2nd-order intermodulation products (IM2): f1 + f2, f2 - f1 • 3rd-order intermodulation products (IM3): 2f 1 - f2, 2f2 - f1, 2f1 + f2, 2f2 + f1 • 4th-order intermodulation products (IM4): 3f 1 - f2, 3f2 - f1, 3f1 + f2, 3f2 + f1 • 5th-order intermodulation products (IM5): 3f1 - 2f2, 3f2 - 2f1, 3f1 + 2f2, 3f2 + 2f1 Chip Information TRANSISTOR COUNT: 13,016 PROCESS: BiCMOS ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 MAX1274/MAX1275 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 theoretical minimum analog-todigital noise is caused by quantization error, and results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits): Package Information (The package drawing(s) in this data sheet may not reflect the most current specifications.
