10-Bit 300ksps ADCs with FIFO,
Temp Sensor, Internal Reference
The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 are serial 10-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with an internal reference
and an internal temperature sensor. These devices feature on-chip FIFO, scan mode, internal clock mode, internal averaging, and AutoShutdown™. The maximum
sampling rate is 300ksps using an external clock. The
MAX1031 has 16 input channels, the MAX1029 has 12
input channels, and the MAX1027 has 8 input channels.
All input channels are configurable for single-ended or
differential inputs in unipolar or bipolar mode. All three
devices operate from a +3V supply and contain a 10MHz
SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™-compatible serial port.
The MAX1031 is available in 28-pin 5mm x 5mm TQFN
with exposed pad and 24-pin QSOP packages. The
MAX1027/MAX1029 are only available in QSOP packages. All three devices are specified over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

VDD = 2.7V to 3.6V; full-scale input
Tested at VDD = +2.7V, unipolar input mode.
Offset nulled.
Time for reference to power up and settle to within 1 LSB.
Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles multiplied by the clock period; clock has 50% duty cycle.
The operational input voltage range for each individual input of a differentially configured pair is from GND to VDD. The
operational input voltage difference is from -VREF / 2 to +VREF / 2.
Note 6: See Figure 3 (Input Equivalent Circuit) and the Sampling Error vs. Source Impedance curve in the Typical Operating
Characteristics section.
Note 7: Fast automated test, excludes self-heating effects.
Note 8: Supply current is specified depending on whether an internal or external reference is used for voltage conversions.
Temperature measurements always use the internal reference.

MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031
10-Bit 300ksps ADCs with FIFO,
Temp Sensor, Internal Reference
Detailed Description
The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 are low-power, serial-output, multichannel ADCs with temperature-sensing
capability for temperature-control, process-control, and
monitoring applications. These 10-bit ADCs have internal track and hold (T/H) circuitry that supports singleended and fully differential inputs. Data is converted
from an internal temperature sensor or analog voltage
sources in a variety of channel and data-acquisition
configurations. Microprocessor (µP) control is made
easy through a 3-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface.
Figure 2 shows a simplified functional diagram of the
MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 internal architecture.
The MAX1027 has eight single-ended analog input
channels or four differential channels. The MAX1029
has 12 single-ended analog input channels or six differential channels. The MAX1031 has 16 single-ended
analog input channels or eight differential channels.
Converter Operation
The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 ADCs use a fully differential, successive-approximation register (SAR) conversion technique and an on-chip T/H block to convert
temperature and voltage signals into a 10-bit digital
result. Both single-ended and differential configurations
are supported, with a unipolar signal range for singleended mode and bipolar or unipolar ranges for differential mode.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input-tracking circuitry has a 1MHz smallsignal bandwidth, so it is possible to digitize highspeed transient events and measure periodic signals
with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by
using undersampling techniques. Anti-alias prefiltering
of the input signals is necessary to avoid high-frequency signals aliasing into the frequency band of interest.
Analog Input Protection
Internal ESD protection diodes clamp all pins to VDD
and GND, allowing the inputs to swing from (GND 0.3V) to (VDD + 0.3V) without damage. However, for
accurate conversions near full scale, the inputs must
not exceed VDD by more than 50mV or be lower than
GND by 50mV. If an off-channel analog input voltage
exceeds the supplies, limit the input current to 2mA.
3-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 feature a serial
interface compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE
devices. For SPI/QSPI, ensure the CPU serial interface
runs in master mode so it generates the serial clock
signal. Select the SCLK frequency of 10MHz or less,
10
and set clock polarity (CPOL) and phase (CPHA) in the
µP control registers to the same value. The MAX1027/
MAX1029/MAX1031 operate with SCLK idling high or
low, and thus operate with CPOL = CPHA = 0 or CPOL
= CPHA = 1. Set CS low to latch input data at DIN on
the rising edge of SCLK. Output data at DOUT is
updated on the falling edge of SCLK. Bipolar true-differential results and temperature sensor results are
available in two’s complement format, while all others
are in binary.
Serial communication always begins with an 8-bit input
data byte (MSB first) loaded from DIN. Send a second
byte, immediately following the setup byte, to write to
the unipolar mode or bipolar mode registers (see
Tables 1, 3, 4, and 5). A high-to-low transition on CS initiates the data input operation. The input data byte and
the subsequent data bytes are clocked from DIN into
the serial interface on the rising edge of SCLK.
Tables 1–7 detail the register descriptions. Bits 5 and 4,
CKSEL1 and CKSEL0, respectively, control the clock
modes in the setup register (see Table 3). Choose
between four different clock modes for various ways to
start a conversion and determine whether the acquisitions are internally or externally timed. Select clock
mode 00 to configure CNVST/AIN_ to act as a conversion start and use it to request the programmed internally timed conversions without tying up the serial bus.
In clock mode 01, use CNVST to request conversions
one channel at a time, controlling the sampling speed
without tying up the serial bus. Request and start internally timed conversions through the serial interface by
writing to the conversion register in the default clock
mode, 10. Use clock mode 11 with SCLK up to 4.8MHz
for externally timed acquisitions to achieve sampling
rates up to 300ksps. Clock mode 11 disables scanning
and averaging. See Figures 4–7 for timing specifications and how to begin a conversion.
These devices feature an active-low, end-of-conversion
output. EOC goes low when the ADC completes the
last-requested operation and is waiting for the next input
data byte (for clock modes 00 and 10). For clock mode
01, EOC goes low after the ADC completes each
requested operation. EOC goes high when CS or
CNVST goes low. EOC is always high in clock mode 11.
Single-Ended/Differential Input
The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 use a fully differential ADC for all conversions. The analog inputs can be
configured for either differential or single-ended conversions by writing to the setup register (see Table 3).
Single-ended conversions are internally referenced to
GND (Figure 3).

In differential mode, the T/H samples the difference
between two analog inputs, eliminating common-mode
DC offsets and noise. IN+ and IN- are selected from
the following pairs: AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3, AIN4/AIN5,
AIN6/AIN7, AIN8/AIN9, AIN10/AIN11, AIN12/AIN13,
and AIN14/AIN15. AIN0–AIN7 are available on the
MAX1027, MAX1029, and MAX1031. AIN8–AIN11 are
only available on the MAX1029 and MAX1031.
AIN12–AIN15 are only available on the MAX1031. See
Tables 2–5 for more details on configuring the inputs.
For the inputs that can be configured as CNVST or an
analog input, only one can be used at a time. For the
inputs that can be configured as REF- or an analog
input, the REF- configuration excludes the analog input.
Unipolar/Bipolar
Address the unipolar and bipolar registers through the
setup register (bits 1 and 0). Program a pair of analog
channels for differential operation by writing a 1 to the
appropriate bit of the bipolar or unipolar register.
Unipolar mode sets the differential input range from 0
to VREF. A negative differential analog input in unipolar
mode causes the digital output code to be zero.
Selecting bipolar mode sets the differential input range
to ±VREF / 2. The digital output code is binary in unipolar mode and two’s complement in bipolar mode (see
the transfer function graphs, Figures 8 and 9).
In single-ended mode, the MAX1027/MAX1029/
MAX1031 always operate in unipolar mode. The analog
inputs are internally referenced to GND with a full-scale
input range from 0 to VREF.
t AQC = 9 x (RS + RIN ) x 24pF + tPWR
where RIN = 1.5kΩ, RS is the source impedance of the
input signal, and tPWR = 1µs, the power-up time of the
device. The varying power-up times are detailed in the
explanation of the clock mode conversions.
tACQ is never less than 1.4µs, and any source impedance below 300Ω does not significantly affect the
ADC’s AC performance. A high-impedance source can
be accommodated either by lengthening tACQ or by
placing a 1µF capacitor between the positive and negative analog inputs.
Internal FIFO
The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 contain a FIFO
buffer that can hold up to 16 ADC results plus one temperature result. This allows the ADC to handle multiple
internally clocked conversions and a temperature measurement, without tying up the serial bus.
If the FIFO is filled and further conversions are requested without reading from the FIFO, the oldest ADC
results are overwritten by the new ADC results. Each
result contains 2 bytes, with the MSB preceded by four
leading zeros and the LSB followed by two sub-bits.
After each falling edge of CS, the oldest available byte
of data is available at DOUT, MSB first. When the FIFO
is empty, DOUT is zero.
The first 2 bytes of data read out after a temperature
measurement always contain the temperature result
preceded by four leading zeros, MSB first. If another

MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031
True Differential Analog Input T/H
The equivalent circuit of Figure 3 shows the
MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031s’ input architecture. In
track mode, a positive input capacitor is connected to
AIN0–AIN15 in single-ended mode (and AIN0, AIN2,
AIN4…AIN14 in differential mode). A negative input
capacitor is connected to GND in single-ended mode
(or AIN1, AIN3, AIN5…AIN15 in differential mode). For
external track-and-hold timing, use clock mode 01.
After the T/H enters hold mode, 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 required acquisition time
lengthens. The acquisition time, tACQ, is the maximum
time needed for a signal to be acquired, plus the powerup time. It is calculated by the following equation:

10-Bit 300ksps ADCs with FIFO,
Temp Sensor, Internal Reference
temperature measurement is performed before the first
temperature result is read out, the old measurement is
overwritten by the new result. Temperature results are
in degrees Celsius (two’s complement) at a resolution
of 1/8 of a degree. See the Temperature Measurements
section for details on converting the digital code to a
temperature.
Internal Clock
The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 operate from an internal oscillator, which is accurate within 10% of the 4.4MHz
nominal clock rate. The internal oscillator is active in
clock modes 00, 01, and 10. Read out the data at clock
speeds up to 10MHz. See Figures 4–7 for details on timing specifications and starting a conversion.
Applications Information
Register Descriptions
The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 communicate
between the internal registers and the external circuitry
through the SPI/QSPI-compatible serial interface. Table
1 details the registers and the bit names. Tables 2–7
show the various functions within the conversion register, setup register, averaging register, reset register,
unipolar register, and bipolar register.
Conversion Time Calculations
The conversion time for each scan is based on a number of different factors: conversion time per sample,
samples per result, results per scan, if a temperature
measurement is requested, and if the external reference is in use.
Use the following formula to calculate the total conversion time for an internally timed conversion in clock
modes 00 and 10 (see the Electrical Characteristics
section as applicable):
total conversion time = tcnv x navg x nresult + tTS + tRP
where:
tcnv = tacq(max) + tconv(max)
navg = samples per result (amount of averaging)
nresult = number of FIFO results requested; determined
by number of channels being scanned or by NSCAN1,
NSCAN0
tTS = time required for temperature measurement; set
to zero if temp measurement is not requested
tRP = internal reference wake-up; set to zero if the internal reference is already powered up or if the external
reference is being used
In clock mode 01, the total conversion time depends on
how long CNVST is held low or high, including any time
required to turn on the internal reference. Conversion
time in externally clocked mode (CKSEL1, CKSEL0 = 11)
depends on the SCLK period and how long CS is held
high between each set of eight SCLK cycles.
Conversion Register
Select active analog input channels, scan modes, and
a single temperature measurement per scan by writing
to the conversion register. Table 2 details channel
selection, the four scan modes, and how to request a
temperature measurement. Request a scan by writing
to the conversion register when in clock mode 10 or 11,
or by applying a low pulse to the CNVST pin when in
clock mode 00 or 01.
A conversion is not performed if it is requested on a
channel that has been configured as CNVST or REF-.
Do not request conversions on channels 8–15 on the
MAX1027 and channels 12–15 on the MAX1029. Set
CHSEL3:CHSEL0 to the lower channel’s binary value. If
the last two channels are configured as a differential

channel numerous times, depending on NSCAN1 and
NSCAN0 in the averaging register (see Table 6). Select
scan mode 11 to return only one result from a single
channel.
Setup Register
Write a byte to the setup register to configure the clock,
reference, and power-down modes. Table 3 details the
bits in the setup register. Bits 5 and 4 (CKSEL1 and
CKSEL0) control the clock mode, acquisition and sampling, and the conversion start. Bits 3 and 2 (REFSEL1
and REFSEL0) control internal or external reference use.
Bits 1 and 0 (DIFFSEL1 and DIFFSEL0) address the
unipolar mode and bipolar mode registers and configure
the analog input channels for differential operation.
Unipolar/Bipolar Registers
The final 2 bits (LSBs) of the setup register control the
unipolar/bipolar mode address registers. Set bits 1 and
0 (DIFFSEL1 and DIFFSEL0) to 10 to write to the unipolar mode register. Set bits 1 and 0 to 11 to write to the
bipolar mode register. In both cases, the setup byte
must be followed immediately by 1 byte of data written
to the unipolar register or bipolar register. Hold CS low
and run 16 SCLK cycles before pulling CS high. If the
last 2 bits of the setup register are 00 or 01, neither the
unipolar mode register nor the bipolar mode register is
written. Any subsequent byte is recognized as a new
input data byte. See Tables 4 and 5 to program the
unipolar and bipolar mode registers.
If a channel is configured as both unipolar and bipolar,
the unipolar setting takes precedence. In unipolar
mode, AIN+ can exceed AIN- by up to VREF. The output format in unipolar mode is binary. In bipolar mode,
either input can exceed the other by up to VREF / 2. The
output format in bipolar mode is two's complement.
Averaging Register
Write to the averaging register to configure the ADC to
average up to 32 samples for each requested result,
and to independently control the number of results
requested for single-channel scans.
Table 2 details the four scan modes available in the conversion register. All four scan modes allow averaging as

Set the RESET bit to 1 to reset the FIFO. Set the reset
bit to zero to return the MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031
to its default power-up state.
Power-Up Default State
The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 power up with all
blocks in shutdown, including the reference. All registers
power up in state 00000000, except for the setup register, which powers up in clock mode 10 (CKSEL1 = 1).
Temperature Measurements
The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 perform temperature measurements with an internal diode-connected
transistor. The diode bias current changes from 68µA
to 4µA to produce a temperature-dependent bias voltage difference. The second conversion result at 4µA is
subtracted from the first at 68µA to calculate a digital
value that is proportional to absolute temperature. The
output data appearing at DOUT is the above digital
code minus an offset to adjust from Kelvin to Celsius.
The reference voltage used for the temperature measurements is derived from the internal reference source
to ensure a resolution of 1/8 of a degree.
Output Data Format
Figures 4–7 illustrate the conversion timing for the
MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031. The 10-bit conversion
result is output in MSB-first format with four leading
zeroes and two trailing sub-bits. The 12-bit temperature
measurement is output with four leading zeros. DIN
data is latched into the serial interface on the rising
edge of SCLK. Data on DOUT transitions on the falling
edge of SCLK. Conversions in clock modes 00 and 01
are initiated by CNVST. Conversions in clock modes 10
and 11 are initiated by writing an input data byte to the
conversion register. Data is binary for unipolar mode and
two’s complement for bipolar mode.

Externally Timed Acquisitions and
Internally Timed Conversions with CNVST
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 00
In clock mode 00, the wake up, acquisition, conversion,
and shutdown sequences are initiated through CNVST
and performed automatically using the internal oscillator. Results are added to the internal FIFO to be read
out later. See Figure 4 for clock mode 00 timing.
Initiate a scan by setting CNVST low for at least 40ns
before pulling it high again. The MAX1027/MAX1029/
MAX1031 then wake up, scan all requested channels,
store the results in the FIFO, and shut down. After the
scan is complete, EOC is pulled low and the results are
available in the FIFO. Wait until EOC goes low before
pulling CS low to communicate with the serial interface.
EOC stays low until CS or CNVST is pulled low again. A
temperature measurement result, if requested, precedes all other FIFO results.
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 01
In clock mode 01, conversions are requested one at a
time using CNVST and performed automatically using the
internal oscillator. See Figure 5 for clock mode 01 timing.
Setting CNVST low begins an acquisition, wakes up the
ADC, and places it in track mode. Hold CNVST low for
at least 1.4µs to complete the acquisition. If the internal
reference needs to wake up, an additional 65µs is
required for the internal reference to power up. If a temperature measurement is being requested, reference
power-up and temperature measurement are internally
timed. In this case, hold CNVST low for at least 40ns.
Set CNVST high to begin a conversion. After the conversion is complete, the ADC shuts down and pulls
EOC low. EOC stays low until CS or CNVST is pulled
low again. Wait until EOC goes low before pulling CS or
CNVST low.
Do not initiate a second CNVST before EOC goes low;
otherwise, the FIFO can become corrupted.
If averaging is turned on, multiple CNVST pulses need
to be performed before a result is written to the FIFO.
Once the proper number of conversions has been performed to generate an averaged FIFO result, as specified by the averaging register, the scan logic
automatically switches the analog input multiplexer to
the next-requested channel. If a temperature measurement is programmed, it is performed after the first rising
edge of CNVST following the input data byte written to
the conversion register. The result is available on DOUT
once EOC has been pulled low.

Figure 6. Clock Mode 10
Internally Timed Acquisitions and
Conversions Using the Serial Interface
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 10
In clock mode 10, the wake up, acquisition, conversion,
and shutdown sequences are initiated by writing an
input data byte to the conversion register, and are performed automatically using the internal oscillator. This
is the default clock mode upon power-up. See Figure 6
for clock mode 10 timing.
Initiate a scan by writing a byte to the conversion register. The MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 then power up,
scan all requested channels, store the results in the
18
FIFO, and shut down. After the scan is complete, EOC
is pulled low and the results are available in the FIFO. If
a temperature measurement is requested, the temperature result precedes all other FIFO results. EOC stays
low until CS is pulled low again.
Externally Clocked Acquisitions and
Conversions Using the Serial Interface
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 11
In clock mode 11, acquisitions and conversions are initiated by writing to the conversion register and are performed one at a time using the SCLK as the conversion

clock. Scanning and averaging are disabled, and the
conversion result is available at DOUT during the conversion. See Figure 7 for clock mode 11 timing.
Initiate a conversion by writing a byte to the conversion
register followed by 16 SCLK cycles. If CS is pulsed
high between the eighth and ninth cycles, the pulse
width must be less than 100µs. To continuously convert
at 16 cycles per conversion, alternate 1 byte of zeros
between each conversion byte.
If reference mode 00 is requested, or if an external reference is selected but a temperature measurement is
being requested, wait 65µs with CS high after writing
the conversion byte to extend the acquisition and allow
the internal reference to power up. To perform a temperature measurement, write 24 bytes (192 cycles) of
zeros after the conversion byte. The temperature result
appears on DOUT during the last 2 bytes of the 192
cycles.
Partial Reads and Partial Writes
If the first byte of an entry in the FIFO is partially read
(CS is pulled high after fewer than 8 SCLK cycles), the
second byte of data that is read out contains the next 8
bits (not b7–b0). The remaining bits are lost for that
entry. If the first byte of an entry in the FIFO is read out
fully, but the second byte is read out partially, the rest
of the entry is lost. The remaining data in the FIFO is
uncorrupted and can be read out normally after taking
CS low again, as long as the 4 leading bits (normally
zeros) are ignored. Internal registers that are written
partially through the SPI contain new values, starting at
the MSB up to the point that the partial write is stopped.
The part of the register that is not written contains previously written values. If CS is pulled low before EOC
goes low, a conversion cannot be completed and the
FIFO is corrupted.
Transfer Function
Figure 8 shows the unipolar transfer function for singleended or differential inputs. Figure 9 shows the bipolar
transfer function for differential inputs. Code transitions
occur halfway between successive-integer LSB values.
Output coding is binary, with 1 LSB = VREF / 1024V for
unipolar and bipolar operation, and 1 LSB = 0.125°C
for temperature measurements.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use PC boards. Do not use wirewrap boards. For the TQFN package, connect its
exposed pad to GND. Board layout should ensure that
digital and analog signal lines are separated from each
other. Do not run analog and digital (especially clock)
signals parallel to one another or run digital lines underneath the MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 package. Highfrequency noise in the VDD power supply can affect
performance. Bypass the V DD supply with a 0.1µF
capacitor to GND, close to the VDD pin. Minimize capacitor lead lengths for best supply-noise rejection. If the
power supply is very noisy, connect a 10Ω resistor in
series with the supply to improve power-supply filtering.

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. INL for
the MAX1027/MAX1029/MAX1031 is measured using
the end-point 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
full-scale 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 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 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.
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)

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 x log ⎜
⎝
(V

)
⎞
+ V32 + V42 + V52 / V1⎟

where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2–V5 are
the amplitudes of the first five harmonics.

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
