5V, 8-Channel, Serial, 12-Bit ADCs
with 3V Digital Interface
The MAX1202/MAX1203 are 12-bit data-acquisition
systems specifically designed for use in applications
with mixed +5V (analog) and +3V (digital) supply voltages. They operate with a single +5V analog supply or
dual ±5V analog supplies, and combine an 8-channel
multiplexer, high-bandwidth track/hold, and serial interface with high conversion speed and low power consumption.
A 4-wire serial interface connects directly to
SPI™/MICROWIRE™ devices without external logic,
and a serial strobe output allows direct connection to
TMS320-family digital signal processors. The
MAX1202/MAX1203 use either the internal clock or an
external serial-interface clock to perform successiveapproximation analog-to-digital conversions. The serial
interface operates at up to 2MHz.
The MAX1202 features an internal 4.096V reference,
while the MAX1203 requires an external reference. Both
parts have a reference-buffer amplifier that simplifies
gain trim. They also have a VL pin that is the power
supply for the digital outputs. Output logic levels (3V,
3.3V, or 5V) are determined by the value of the voltage
applied to this pin.
These devices provide a hard-wired SHDN pin and two
software-selectable power-down modes. Accessing the
serial interface automatically powers up the devices. A
quick turn-on time enables the MAX1202/MAX1203 to
be shut down between conversions, allowing the user
to optimize supply currents. By customizing powerdown between conversions, supply current can drop
below 10µA at reduced sampling rates.
The MAX1202/MAX1203 are available in 20-pin SSOP
and DIP packages, and are specified for the commercial, extended, and military temperature ranges.

Tested at VDD = 5.0V; VSS = 0V; unipolar-input mode.
Relative accuracy is the analog value’s deviation (at any code) from its theoretical value after the full-scale range is calibrated.
MAX1202—internal reference, offset nulled; MAX1203—external reference (VREF = 4.096V), offset nulled.
On-channel grounded; sine wave applied to all off-channels.
Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles multiplied by the clock period; clock has 50% duty cycle.
Guaranteed by design. Not subject to production testing.
Common-mode range for analog inputs is from VSS to VDD.
External load should not change during the conversion for specified accuracy.
Shutdown supply current is measured with VL at 3.3V, and with all digital inputs tied to either VL or GND;
REFADJ = GND. Shutdown supply current is also dependent on VIH (Figure 12c).
Note 10: Logic supply current is measured with the digital outputs (DOUT and SSTRB) disabled (CS high). When the outputs are
active (CS low), the logic supply current depends on fSCLK, and on the static and capacitive load at DOUT and SSTRB.
Note 11: Measured at VSUPPLY + 5% and VSUPPLY - 5% only.
Note 12: Measured at VL = 2.7V and VL = 3.6V.

Sampling Analog Inputs
Negative Supply Voltage. Tie VSS to -5V ±5% or to GND.

SHDN
Three-Level Shutdown Input. Pulling SHDN low shuts the MAX1202/MAX1203 down to 10µA (max)
supply current; otherwise, the MAX1202/MAX1203 are fully operational. Pulling SHDN to VDD puts the
reference-buffer amplifier in internal compensation mode. Letting SHDN float puts the referencebuffer amplifier in external compensation mode.
11
REF
Reference-Buffer Output/ADC Reference Input. In internal reference mode (MAX1202 only), the reference buffer provides a 4.096V nominal output, externally adjustable at REFADJ. In external reference
mode, disable the internal buffer by pulling REFADJ to VDD.

Ground; IN- Input for Single-Ended Conversions
Supply Voltage for Digital Output Pins. Voltage applied to VL determines the positive output swing of
the Digital Outputs (DOUT, SSTRB). 2.7V ≤ VL ≤ 5.25V.
Serial-Data Output. Data is clocked out at SCLK’s falling edge. High impedance when CS is high.
Serial-Strobe Output. In internal clock mode, SSTRB goes low when the MAX1202/MAX1203 begin
the analog-to-digital conversion, and goes high when the conversion is finished. In external clock
mode, SSTRB pulses high for one clock period before the MSB decision. High impedance when CS
is high (external clock mode).
Serial-Clock Input. SCLK clocks data in and out of the serial interface. In external clock mode, SCLK
also sets the conversion speed. (Duty cycle must be 40% to 60% in external clock mode.)

_______________Detailed Description
with respect to GND during a conversion. To do this,
connect a 0.1µF capacitor from IN- (of the selected
analog input) to GND.
During the acquisition interval, the channel selected as
the positive input (IN+) charges capacitor CHOLD. The
acquisition interval spans three SCLK cycles and ends
on the falling SCLK edge after the input control word’s
last bit is entered. The T/H switch opens at the end of
the acquisition interval, retaining charge on CHOLD as a
sample of the signal at IN+.
The MAX1202/MAX1203 analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs) use a successive-approximation conversion
technique and input track/hold (T/H) circuitry to convert
an analog signal to a 12-bit digital output. A flexible serial interface provides easy interface to 3V microprocessors (µPs). Figure 3 is the MAX1202/MAX1203 block
diagram.
Pseudo-Differential Input
Figure 4 shows the ADC’s analog comparator’s sampling architecture. In single-ended mode, IN+ is internally switched to CH0–CH7 and IN- is switched to
GND. In differential mode, IN+ and IN- are selected
from pairs of CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, and
CH6/CH7. Configure the channels using Tables 3
and 4.
In differential mode, IN- and IN+ are internally switched
to either of the analog inputs. This configuration is
pseudo-differential such that only the signal at IN+ is
sampled. The return side (IN-) must remain stable (typically within ±0.5LSB, within ±0.1LSB for best results)
The conversion interval begins with the input multiplexer switching CHOLD from the positive input (IN+) to the
negative input (IN-). In single-ended mode, IN- is simply GND. This unbalances node ZERO at the comparator’s input. The capacitive DAC adjusts during the
remainder of the conversion cycle to restore node
ZERO to 0V within the limits of 12-bit resolution.
This action is equivalent to transferring a charge of
16pF x [(V IN +) - (V IN -)] from C HOLD to the binaryweighted capacitive DAC, which in turn forms a digital
representation of the analog input signal.

Track/Hold
The T/H enters tracking mode on the falling clock edge
after the fifth bit of the 8-bit control word is shifted in. The
T/H enters hold mode on the falling clock edge after the
eighth bit of the control word is shifted in. IN- is connected to GND if the converter is set up for single-ended
inputs, and the converter samples the “+” input. IN- connects to the “-” input if the converter is set up for differential inputs, and the difference of |N+ - IN- is sampled.
The positive input connects back to IN+, at the end of
the conversion, and CHOLD charges to the input signal.
The time required for the T/H to acquire an input signal
is a function of how quickly its input capacitance is
charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high,
acquisition time increases 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 needed for the
signal to be acquired. It is calculated by the following:
tACQ = 9 x (RS + RIN) x 16pF
where RIN = 9kΩ, RS = the source impedance of the
input signal, and tACQ is never less than 1.5µs. Source
impedances below 1kΩ do not significantly affect the
ADC’s AC performance. Higher source impedances can

be used if an input capacitor is connected to the analog
inputs, as shown in Figure 5. Note that the input capacitor forms an RC filter with the input source impedance,
limiting the ADC’s signal bandwidth.

Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input tracking circuitry has a 4.5MHz
small-signal bandwidth. Therefore it is possible to digitize high-speed 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.
without powering down between conversions. In external clock mode, the SSTRB output pulses high for one
clock period before the most significant bit of the 12-bit
conversion result shifts out of DOUT. Varying the analog input to CH7 alters the sequence of bits from
DOUT. A total of 15 clock cycles per conversion is
required. All SSTRB and DOUT output transitions occur
on SCLK’s falling edge.
Analog Input Range and Input Protection
How to Start a Conversion
Internal protection diodes, which clamp the analog
inputs to VDD and VSS, allow the analog input pins to
swing from (VSS - 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 VSS by 50mV.
If the analog input exceeds 50mV beyond the supplies, do not forward bias the protection diodes of
off-channels more than 2mA.
Clocking a control byte into DIN starts conversion on
the MAX1202/MAX1203. With CS low, each rising edge
on SCLK clocks a bit from DIN into the MAX1202/
MAX1203’s internal shift register. After CS falls, the first
logic “1” bit defines the control byte’s MSB. Until this
first “start” bit arrives, any number of logic “0” bits can
be clocked into DIN with no effect. Table 2 shows the
control-byte format.
The MAX1202/MAX1203 are fully compatible with
SPI/MICROWIRE devices. For SPI, select the correct
clock polarity and sampling edge in the SPI control registers: set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0. MICROWIRE and
SPI both transmit and receive a byte at the same time.
Using the Typical Operating Circuit, the simplest software interface requires only three 8-bit transfers to perform a conversion (one 8-bit transfer to configure the
ADC, and two more 8-bit transfers to clock out the
12-bit conversion result).
The full-scale input voltage depends on the voltage at
REF (Tables 1a and 1b).
Quick Look
Use the circuit of Figure 5 to quickly evaluate the
MAX1202/MAX1203’s analog performance. The
MAX1202/MAX1203 require a control byte to be written
to DIN before each conversion. Tying DIN to +3V feeds
in control byte $FF hex, which triggers single-ended
unipolar conversions on CH7 in external clock mode

Digital Output
In unipolar-input mode, the output is straight binary
(Figure 15); for bipolar inputs, the output is two’scomplement (Figure 16). Data is clocked out at SCLK’s
falling edge in MSB-first format. The digital output logic
level is adjusted with the VL pin. This allows DOUT and
SSTRB to interface with 3V logic without the risk of
overdrive. The MAX1202/MAX1203’s digital inputs are
designed to be compatible with 5V CMOS logic as well
as 3V logic.
1) Set up the control byte for external clock mode and
call it TB1. TB1’s format should be: 1XXXXX11 binary,
where the Xs denote the particular channel and
conversion mode selected.
2) Use a general-purpose I/O line on the CPU to pull
CS on the MAX1202/MAX1203 low.
Internal and External Clock Modes
3) Transmit TB1 and simultaneously receive a byte
and call it RB1. Ignore RB1.
The MAX1202/MAX1203 can use either an external serial clock or the internal clock to perform the successiveapproximation conversion. In both clock modes, the
external clock shifts data in and out of the MAX1202/
MAX1203. The T/H acquires the input signal as the last
three bits of the control byte are clocked into DIN. Bits
PD1 and PD0 of the control byte program the clock
mode. Figures 7–10 show the timing characteristics
common to both modes.
4) Transmit a byte of all zeros ($00 hex) and simultaneously receive byte RB2.
5) Transmit a byte of all zeros ($00 hex) and simultaneously receive byte RB3.
6) Pull CS on the MAX1202/MAX1203 high.
Figure 6 shows the timing for this sequence. Bytes RB2
and RB3 contain the result of the conversion padded with
one leading zero and three trailing zeros. The total conversion time is a function of the serial-clock frequency and
the amount of idle time between 8-bit transfers. To avoid
excessive T/H droop, make sure that the total conversion
time does not exceed 120µs.
External Clock
In external clock mode, the external clock not only shifts
data in and out, but it also drives the A/D conversion
steps. SSTRB pulses high for one clock period after the
last bit of the control byte. Successive-approximation bit
decisions are made and appear at DOUT on each of the
next 12 SCLK falling edges (Figure 6). SSTRB and
DOUT go into a high-impedance state when CS goes
high; after the next CS falling edge, SSTRB outputs a
logic low. Figure 8 shows SSTRB timing in external clock
mode.

The conversion must complete in some minimum time or
droop on the sample-and-hold capacitors might degrade
conversion results. Use internal clock mode if the clock
period exceeds 10µs or if serial-clock interruptions could
cause the conversion interval to exceed 120µs.
Internal Clock
In internal clock mode, the MAX1202/MAX1203 generate
their own conversion clock. This frees the µP from running the SAR conversion clock, and allows the conversion results to be read back at the processor’s
14
convenience, at any clock rate from zero to 2MHz.
SSTRB goes low at the start of the conversion, then goes
high when the conversion is complete. SSTRB is low for
a maximum of 10µs, during which time SCLK should
remain low for best noise performance. An internal register stores data while the conversion is in progress. SCLK
clocks the data out at this register at any time after the
conversion is complete. After SSTRB goes high, the next
falling clock edge produces the MSB of the conversion
at DOUT, followed by the remaining bits in MSB-first format (Figure 9). CS does not need to be held low once a

conversion is started. Pulling CS high prevents data from
being clocked into the MAX1202/MAX1203 and threestates DOUT, but it does not adversely affect an internal
clock mode conversion already in progress. When
internal clock mode is selected, SSTRB does not go into
a high-impedance state when CS goes high.
Figure 10 shows SSTRB timing in internal clock mode.
Data can be shifted in and out of the MAX1202/MAX1203
at clock rates up to 2.0MHz, if tACQ is kept above 1.5µs.
Data Framing
CS’s falling edge does not start a conversion on the
MAX1202/MAX1203. The first logic high clocked into DIN
is interpreted as a start bit and defines the first bit of the
control byte. A conversion starts on SCLK’s falling edge
after the eighth bit of the control byte (the PD0 bit) is
clocked into DIN. The start bit is defined as one of the
following:
The first high bit clocked into DIN with CS low anytime the converter is idle (e.g., after VDD is applied).
or
The first high bit clocked into DIN after bit 5 (B5) of a
conversion in progress appears at DOUT.
If a falling edge on CS forces a start bit before B5
becomes available, the current conversion is terminated and a new one started. Thus, the fastest the
MAX1202/MAX1203 can run is 15 clocks/conversion.

MAX1202/MAX1203
5V, 8-Channel, Serial, 12-Bit ADCs
with 3V Digital Interface
Figure 11a shows the serial-interface timing necessary
to perform a conversion every 15 SCLK cycles in external clock mode. If CS is low and SCLK is continuous,
guarantee a start bit by first clocking in 16 zeros.
Most microcontrollers (µCs) require that data transfers
occur in multiples of eight clock cycles; 16 clocks per
conversion is typically the fastest that a µC can drive
the MAX1202/MAX1203. Figure 11b shows the
serial-interface timing necessary to perform a conversion every 16 SCLK cycles in external clock mode.
__________ Applications Information
Power-On Reset
When power is first applied and if SHDN is not pulled
low, internal power-on reset circuitry activates the
MAX1202/MAX1203 in internal clock mode, ready to
convert with SSTRB = high. After the power supplies
are stabilized, the internal reset time is 100µs. No conversions should be performed during this phase.
SSTRB is high on power-up, and if CS is low, the first
logical 1 on DIN is interpreted as a start bit. Until a conversion takes place, DOUT shifts out zeros.
Reference-Buffer Compensation
In addition to its shutdown function, SHDN also selects
internal or external compensation. The compensation
affects both power-up time and maximum conversion
speed. Compensated or not, the minimum clock rate is
100kHz due to droop on the sample-and-hold.
Float SHDN to select external compensation. The
Typical Operating Circuit uses a 4.7µF capacitor at REF.
A value of 4.7µF or greater ensures stability and allows
converter operation at the 2MHz full clock speed.
External compensation increases power-up time (see
the section Choosing Power-Down Mode, and Table 5).
Internal compensation requires no external capacitor at
REF, and is selected by pulling SHDN high. Internal
compensation allows for the shortest power-up times,
but the external clock must be limited to 400kHz during
the conversion.
Power-Down
Choosing Power-Down Mode
You can save power by placing the converter in a lowcurrent shutdown state between conversions. Select full
power-down or fast power-down mode via bits 1 and 0
of the DIN control byte with SHDN high or floating
(Tables 2 and 6). Pull SHDN low at any time to shut
down the converter completely. SHDN overrides bits 1
and 0 of the control byte.
Full power-down mode turns off all chip functions that draw
quiescent current, reducing IDD and ISS typically to 2µA.
16
For the MAX1202, fast power-down mode turns off all
circuitry except the bandgap reference. With fast
power-down mode, the supply current is 30µA. Power-up
time can be shortened to 5µs in internal compensation
mode.
Since the MAX1203 does not have an internal reference,
power-up times coming out of full or fast power-down are
identical.
IDD shutdown current can increase if any digital input
(DIN, SCLK, CS) is held high in either power-down
mode. The actual shutdown current depends on the
state of the digital inputs, the voltage applied to the digital inputs (VIH), the supply voltage (VDD), and the operating temperature. Figure 12c shows the maximum IDD
increase for each digital input held high in power-down
mode for different operating conditions. This current is
cumulative, so if all three digital inputs are held high, the
additional shutdown current is three times the value
shown in Figure 12c.
In both software power-down modes, the serial interface
remains operational, but the ADC does not convert.
Table 5 shows how the choice of reference-buffer compensation and power-down mode affects both power-up
delay and maximum sample rate. In external compensation mode, power-up time is 20ms with a 4.7µF compensation capacitor (200ms with a 33µF capacitor) when the
capacitor is initially fully discharged. From fast
power-down, start-up time can be eliminated by using
low-leakage capacitors that do not discharge more than
1/2LSB while shut down. In power-down, the capacitor
has to supply the current into the reference (typically
1.5µA) and the transient currents at power-up.
Figures 12a and 12b show the various power-down
sequences in both external and internal clock modes.
Software Power-Down
Software power-down is activated using bits PD1 and
PD0 of the control byte. As shown in Table 6, PD1 and
PD0 also specify the clock mode. When software
power-down is asserted, the ADC continues to operate
in the last specified clock mode until the conversion is
complete. The ADC then powers down into a low quiescent-current state. In internal clock mode, the interface
remains active and conversion results can be clocked
out even though the MAX1202/MAX1203 have already
entered software power-down.
The first logical 1 on DIN is interpreted as a start bit and
powers up the MAX1202/MAX1203. Following the start
bit, the control byte also determines clock and
power-down modes. For example, if the DIN word contains PD1 = 1, the chip remains powered up. If PD1 = 0,
power-down resumes after one conversion.

Hardware Power-Down
The SHDN pin places the converter into full power-down
mode. Unlike the software power-down modes, conversion is not completed; it stops coincidentally with SHDN
being brought low. There is no power-up delay if an
external reference, which is not shut down, is used.
SHDN also selects internal or external reference compensation (Table 7).
bypass capacitor at REFADJ forms an RC filter with the
internal 20kΩ reference resistor, with a 0.2ms time constant. To achieve full 12-bit accuracy, 10 time constants
(or 2ms in this example) are required for the reference
buffer to settle. When exiting FULLPD, waiting this 2ms in
FASTPD mode (instead of just exiting FULLPD mode and
returning to normal operating mode) reduces power consumption by a factor of 10 or more (Figure 13).
Power-Down Sequencing
Lowest Power at Higher Throughputs
Figure 14b shows power consumption with externalreference compensation in fast power-down, with one
and eight channels converted. The external 4.7µF compensation requires a 50µs wait after power-up. This circuit combines fast multichannel conversion with the
lowest power consumption possible. Full power-down
mode can increase power savings in applications where
the MAX1202/MAX1203 are inactive for long periods of
time, but where intermittent bursts of high-speed conversion are required.
The MAX1202/MAX1203’s automatic power-down
modes can save considerable power when operating
at less than maximum sample rates. The following sections discuss the various power-down sequences.

External and Internal References
The MAX1202 can be used with an internal or external
reference, whereas an external reference is required for
the MAX1203. An external reference can be connected
directly at the REF terminal, or at the REFADJ pin.
An internal buffer is designed to provide 4.096V at
REF for both the MAX1202 and the MAX1203. The
MAX1202’s internally trimmed 2.44V reference is
buffered with a gain of 1.68. The MAX1203’s REFADJ
pin is buffered with a gain of 1.64, to scale an external
2.5V reference at REFADJ to 4.096V at REF.

External Reference
With both the MAX1202 and MAX1203, an external reference can be placed at either the input (REFADJ) or the
output (REF) of the internal reference-buffer amplifier. The
REFADJ input impedance is typically 20kΩ for the
MAX1202, and higher than 100kΩ for the MAX1203,
where the internal reference is omitted. At REF, the DC
input resistance is a minimum of 12kΩ. During conversion,
an external reference at REF must deliver up to 350µA DC
load current and have an output impedance of 10Ω or
less. If the reference has higher output impedance or is
noisy, bypass it close to the REF pin with a 4.7µF capacitor.
Using the buffered REFADJ input makes buffering of the
external reference unnecessary. When connecting an
external reference directly at REF, disable the internal
buffer by tying REFADJ to VDD. In power-down, the input
bias current to REFADJ can be as much as 25µA with
REFADJ tied to VDD (MAX1202 only). Pull REFADJ to
GND to minimize the input bias current in power-down.

Transfer Function and Gain Adjust
Figure 15 depicts the nominal, unipolar input/output
(I/O) transfer function, and Figure 16 shows the bipolar
I/O transfer function. Code transitions occur halfway
between successive-integer LSB values. Output coding
is binary with 1LSB = 1.00mV (4.096V/4096) for unipolar operation, and 1LSB = 1.00mV [(4.096V/2 - -4.096V/
2)/4096] for bipolar operation.
Figure 17 shows how to adjust the ADC gain in applications that use the internal reference. The circuit provides
±1.5% (±65LSBs) of gain adjustment range.
20
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use printed circuit 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 18 shows the recommended system ground
connections. Establish a single-point analog ground

ground should be low impedance and as short as possible for noise-free operation.

TMS320CL3x to MAX1202/
MAX1203 Interface
Figure 19 shows an application circuit to interface the
MAX1202/MAX1203 to the TMS320 in external clock mode.
Figure 20 shows the timing diagram for this interface circuit.
Use the following steps to initiate a conversion in the
MAX1202/MAX1203 and to read the results:
1) The TMS320 should be configured with CLKX (transmit clock) as an active-high output clock and CLKR
(TMS320 receive clock) as an active-high input clock.
The TMS320’s CLKX and CLKR are tied together with
the MAX1202/MAX1203’s SCLK input.
2) The MAX1202/MAX1203’s CS is driven low by the
TMS320’s XF_ I/O port to enable data to be clocked
into the MAX1202/MAX1203’s DIN.
3) Write an 8-bit word (1XXXXX11) to the MAX1202/
MAX1203 to initiate a conversion and place the
device into external clock mode. Refer to Table 2 to
select the proper XXXXX bit values for your specific
application.
4) The MAX1202/MAX1203’s SSTRB output is monitored via the TMS320’s FSR input. A falling edge on
the SSTRB output indicates that the conversion is in
progress and data is ready to be received from the
MAX1202/MAX1203.
5) The TMS320 reads in one data bit on each of the
next 16 rising edges of SCLK. These data bits represent the 12-bit conversion result followed by four
trailing bits, which should be ignored.
6) Pull CS high to disable the MAX1202/MAX1203 until
the next conversion is initiated.
