Maxim MAX1265ACEI 265ksps, 3v, 6-/2-channel, 12-bit adcs with 2.5v reference and parallel interface Datasheet

19-2721; Rev 0; 04/03
265ksps, +3V, 6-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs
with +2.5V Reference and Parallel Interface
Power consumption is only 5.4mW at the maximum
sampling rate of 265ksps. Two software-selectable
power-down modes enable the MAX1265/MAX1267 to
be shut down between conversions; accessing the parallel interface returns them to normal operation.
Powering down between conversions can reduce supply current 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 MAX1265 has
six input channels and the MAX1267 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
MAX1265 is offered in a 28-pin QSOP package, while the
MAX1267 comes in a 24-pin QSOP. For pin-compatible
+5V, 12-bit versions, refer to the MAX1266/MAX1268
data sheet.

________________Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX1265/MAX1267 ADCs use a successiveapproximation (SAR) conversion technique and an input
track/hold (T/H) stage to convert an analog input signal
to a 12-bit digital output. This output format provides an
easy interface to standard microprocessors (µPs). Figure
2 shows the simplified internal architecture of the
MAX1265/MAX1267.

Single-Ended and
Pseudo-Differential Operation
The sampling architecture of the ADC’s analog comparator is illustrated in the equivalent input circuit in
Figure 3. In single-ended mode, IN+ is internally
switched to channels CH0–CH5 for the MAX1265
(Figure 3a) and to CH0–CH1 for the MAX1267 (Figure
3b), while IN- is switched to COM (Table 2). In differential mode, IN+ and IN- are selected from analog input
pairs (Table 3) and are internally switched to either of

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
the analog inputs. This configuration is pseudo-differential in 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.

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).
If an analog input voltage exceeds the supplies by
more than 50mV, limit the forward-bias input current to
4mA.
Track/Hold
The MAX1265/MAX1267 T/H stage enters its tracking
mode on WR’s rising edge. In external acquisition
mode, the part enters its hold mode on the next 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.
10
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 CHOLD
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,
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:
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 input capacitance of the ADC. Source impedances
below 3kΩ have no significant impact on the MAX1265/
MAX1267s’ 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 MAX1265/MAX1267 T/H stage offers a 250kHz fulllinear and a 3MHz 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 that selects
the multiplexer channel and configures the MAX1265/
MAX1267 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 acquisition mode (ACQMOD)
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.

Figure 5. Conversion Timing Using 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
MAX1265/MAX1267 to flag the µP when the conversion
has ended and a valid result is available. INT goes low
12
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 MAX1265/MAX1267 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 MAX1265/MAX1267
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.

External Clock Mode
To select the 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
4.8MHz clock frequency with 30% to 70% duty cycle is
recommended. Operating the MAX1265/MAX1267 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.
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 chip-

select signal, which enables a µP to address the
MAX1265/MAX1267 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.
Input Format
The control bit sequence is latched into the device on
pins D7–D0 during a write command. Table 4 shows
the control-byte format.
Output Data Format
The 12-bit-wide output format for both the MAX1265/
MAX1267 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.
__________Applications Information
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 noise on the
reference, connect a 0.01µF capacitor between REFADJ
and GND.
External Reference
With both the MAX1265 and MAX1267, an external reference can be placed at either the input (REFADJ) or the
output (REF) of the internal reference buffer amplifier.
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
V DD . 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-On Reset
Power-Down Modes
When power is first applied, internal power-on reset circuitry activates the MAX1265/MAX1267 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 is required for VREF to stabilize.
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.
Internal and External Reference
Standby Mode
While in standby mode, the supply current is typically
850µA. 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 265ksps.
The MAX1265/MAX1267 can be used with an internal
or external reference voltage. An external reference
can be connected directly to REF or REFADJ.

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 MAX1265/MAX1267
to exit shutdown mode and return to normal operation.
To achieve full 12-bit accuracy with a 4.7µF reference
bypass capacitor, 50µs is required after power-up.
Waiting 50µs 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.

Transfer Function
Table 5 shows the full-scale voltage ranges for unipolar
and bipolar modes. Figure 8 depicts the nominal 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).
Maximum Sampling Rate/
Achieving 300ksps
When running at the maximum clock frequency of
4.8MHz, the specified throughput of 265ksps 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 300ksps, by first writing a control byte to begin the

For best performance, use printed circuit (PC) boards.
Wire-wrap 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 as to the
MAX1265/MAX1267s’ 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 MAX1265/MAX1267 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.
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 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
Aperture Jitter
Total Harmonic Distortion
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in
the time between the samples.
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:
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 ✕ 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.

where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2 through

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.
