MAX1076/MAX1078
General Description
The MAX1076/MAX1078 are low-power, high-speed, serial-output, 10-bit, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that
operate at up to 1.8Msps and have an internal reference.
These devices feature true-differential inputs, offering better noise immunity, distortion improvements, and a wider
dynamic range over single-ended 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 MAX1076/MAX1078 operate from a single +4.75V to
+5.25V supply voltage. The MAX1076/MAX1078 include
a 4.096V internal reference. The MAX1076 has a unipolar
analog input, while the MAX1078 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 2mA (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 (±0.5 LSB INL) make the MAX1076/MAX1078
ideal for industrial process control, motor control, and
base-station applications.

Note 1: Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the gain error and the offset
error have been nulled.
Note 2: No missing codes over temperature.
Note 3: Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles (16) multiplied by the clock period.
Note 4: At sample rates below 10ksps, the input full-linear bandwidth is reduced to 5kHz.
Note 5: The listed value of three SCLK cycles is given for full-speed continuous conversions. Acquisition time begins on the 14th rising edge of SCLK and terminates on the next falling edge of CNST. The IC idles in acquisition mode between conversions.
Note 6: Undersampling at the maximum signal bandwidth requires the minimum jitter spec for SINAD performance.
Note 7: Digital supply current is measured with the VIH level equal to VL, and the VIL level equal to GND.

Detailed Description
The MAX1076/MAX1078 use an input T/H and successive-approximation register (SAR) circuitry to convert
an analog input signal to a digital 10-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 MAX1076/MAX1078.
True-Differential Analog Input T/H
The equivalent circuit of Figure 4 shows the input architecture of the MAX1076/MAX1078, which is composed of
a T/H, a comparator, and a switched-capacitor digital-toanalog 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
8
time needed for the signal to be acquired. It is calculated
by the following equation:
tACQ ≥ 8 × (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 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.

Serial Interface
Initialization After Power-Up
and Starting a Conversion
Upon initial power-up, the MAX1076/MAX1078 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.
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 10 data bits, 2 sub-bits (S1 and S0), and 3
leading zeros, at least 16 rising clock edges are need-

ed 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 highimpedance state on either CNVST’s rising edge or the
next SCLK’s rising edge.
Partial Power-Down and
Full Power-Down Modes
Power consumption can be reduced significantly by
placing the MAX1076/MAX1078 in either partial powerdown mode or full power-down mode. Partial powerdown mode is ideal for infrequent data sampling and
fast wake-up 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 2mA. While in partial power-down mode, the reference remains enabled to allow valid conversions once
the IC is returned to normal mode. 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
MAX1076/MAX1078 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

Transfer Function
Figure 8 shows the unipolar transfer function for the
MAX1076. Figure 9 shows the bipolar transfer function for

Internal Reference
The MAX1076/MAX1078 have an on-chip voltage reference trimmed to 4.096V. 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
2mA. Bypass REF with a 0.01µF capacitor and a 4.7µF

Connection to
Standard Interfaces
The MAX1076/MAX1078 serial interface is fully compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE (see 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 28.8MHz.
SPI and MICROWIRE
When using SPI or MICROWIRE, the MAX1076/MAX1078
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
10 bits from the ADC. DOUT transitions on SCLK rising
edges. DOUT is guaranteed to be valid tDOUT later and
FULL-SCALE
TRANSITION
111...111
The internal reference is continuously powered up during both normal and partial power-down modes. In full
power-down mode, the internal reference is disabled.
Be sure to allow at least 2ms recovery time after hardware power-up or exiting full power-down mode for the
reference to reach its intended value.
An analog-to-digital conversion is initiated by CNVST
and 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 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.

remains valid until tDHOLD after the following SCLK rising

and CPHA = 1, the data is clocked into the µP on the
following rising edge. When using CPOL = 0 and CPHA

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.
QSPI
Unlike SPI, which requires two 1-byte reads to acquire
the 10 bits of data from the ADC, QSPI allows the minimum number of clock cycles necessary to clock in the
data. The MAX1076/MAX1078 require 16 clock cycles
from the µP to clock out the 10 bits of data. Figure 14
shows a transfer using CPOL = 1 and CPHA = 1. The
conversion result contains three zeros, followed by the
10 data bits, 2 sub-bits, and a trailing zero with the data
in MSB-first format.
DSP Interface to the TMS320C54_
The MAX1076/MAX1078 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 MAX1076/MAX1078 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. The serial-port configuration (SPC) register should be set up with internal
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
MAX1076/MAX1078 are operating with an analog supply voltage higher than the DSP supply voltage. The
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 MAX1076/MAX1078
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) drives
the FSR and CNVST.
MCM = 0, CLKX is taken from the CLKX pin
FSM = 1, burst mode
The serial port must be set up to accept an external
receive-clock and external receive-frame sync.
The SPC register should be written as follows:
TXM = 0, external frame sync
14
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
intervention. Connect the VL pin to the TMS320C54_
supply voltage when the MAX1076/MAX1078 are operating with an analog supply voltage higher than the
DSP supply voltage.
The MAX1076/MAX1078 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).
DSP Interface to the ADSP21_ _ _
The MAX1076/MAX1078 can be directly connected to
the ADSP21_ _ _ family of DSPs from Analog Devices,
Inc. Figure 19 shows the direct connection of the
MAX1076/MAX1078 to the ADSP21_ _ _. There are two
modes of operation that can be programmed to interface
with the MAX1076/MAX1078. 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

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 MAX1076/MAX1078 are operating with a supply voltage higher than the DSP supply voltage (see
Figures 17 and 18).
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.
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
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 MAX1076/MAX1078 are measured using the end-points 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 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.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital samples, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio of full-scale
analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quantization error
(residual error). The theoretical minimum analog-to-digital
noise is caused by quantization error, and results directly
from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):

Figure 20. Power-Supply Grounding Condition
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:
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 =

V22 + V32 + V42 + V52


THD = 20 x log


V



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.
Full-Power Bandwidth
Full-power bandwidth is the frequency at which the input
signal amplitude attenuates by 3dB for a full-scale input.

Intermodulation Distortion
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): 2f1 - f2,
2f2 - f1, 2f1 + f2, 2f2 + f1
• 4th-order intermodulation products (IM4): 3f1 - f2,
