MAX1178/MAX1188
General Description
The MAX1178/MAX1188 16-bit, low-power, successiveapproximation analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) feature automatic power-down, a factory-trimmed internal
clock, and a byte-wide parallel interface. The devices
operate from a single +4.75V to +5.25V analog supply
and feature a separate digital supply input for direct
interface with a +2.7V to +5.25V digital logic.
The MAX1188 accepts a bipolar analog input voltage
range of ±10V, while the MAX1178 accepts a bipolar
analog input voltage range of ±5V. All devices consume
no more than 26.5mW at a sampling rate of 135ksps
when using an external reference, and 31mW when using
the internal +4.096V reference. AutoShutdown™ reduces
supply current to 0.4mA at 10ksps.

Input Scaler
The MAX1178/MAX1188 have an input scaler, which
allows conversion of true bipolar input voltages and
input voltages greater than the power supply, while
operating from a single +5V analog supply. The input
scaler attenuates and shifts the analog input to match
the input range of the internal digital-to-analog converter
(DAC). The MAX1178 input voltage range is ±5V, while
the MAX1188 input voltage range is ±10V. Figure 4
shows the equivalent input circuit of the MAX1178/
MAX1188. This circuit limits the current going into or
out of AIN to less than 1.8mA.
Figure 1. Load Circuits
Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX1178/MAX1188 use a successive-approximation (SAR) conversion technique with an inherent trackand-hold (T/H) stage to convert an analog input into a
16-bit digital output. Parallel outputs provide a highspeed interface to microprocessors (µPs). The Functional Diagram shows a simplified internal architecture of
the MAX1178/MAX1188. Figure 3 shows a typical operating circuit for the MAX1178/MAX1188.
Track and Hold (T/H)
In track mode, the internal hold capacitor acquires the
analog signal (Figure 4). In hold mode, the T/H switches open and the capacitive DAC samples the analog
input. During the acquisition, the analog input (AIN)
charges capacitor CHOLD. The acquisition ends on the
second falling edge of CS. At this instant, the T/H
switches open. The retained charge on CHOLD represents a sample of the input. In hold mode, the capacitive DAC adjusts during the remainder of the conversion
time to restore node T/H OUT to zero within the limits of
16-bit resolution. Force CS low to put valid data on the
bus after conversion is complete.

Power-Down Modes
Select standby mode or shutdown mode with the R/C
bit during the second falling edge of CS (see the
Selecting Standby or Shutdown Mode section). The
MAX1178/MAX1188 automatically enter either standby
mode (reference and buffer on) or shutdown (reference
and buffer off) after each conversion, depending on the
status of R/C during the second falling edge of CS.

Applications Information
CS and R/C control acquisition and conversion in the
MAX1178/MAX1188 (Figure 2). The first falling edge of
CS powers up the device and puts it in acquire mode if
R/C is low. The convert start is ignored if R/C is high.
The MAX1178/MAX1188 need at least 12ms for the
internal reference to wake up and settle before starting
the conversion (C REFADJ = 0.1µF, C REF = 10µF), if
powering up from shutdown.
DVDD
AVDD
Internal Clock
The MAX1178/MAX1188 generate an internal conversion clock to free the µP from the burden of running the
SAR conversion clock. Total conversion time (tCONV)
after entering hold mode (second falling edge of CS) to
end-of-conversion (EOC) falling is 4.7µs (max).

Standby Mode
While in standby mode, the supply current is less than
3.7mA (typ). The next falling edge of CS with R/C low
causes the MAX1178/MAX1188 to exit standby mode
and begin acquisition. The reference and reference
buffer remain active to allow quick turn-on time.
Shutdown Mode
In shutdown mode, the reference and reference buffer
are shut down between conversions. Shutdown mode
reduces supply current to 0.5µA (typ) immediately after
the conversion. The next falling edge of CS with R/C low
causes the reference and buffer to wake up and enter
acquisition mode. To achieve 16-bit accuracy, allow
12ms for the internal reference to wake up (CREFADJ =
0.1µF, CREF = 10µF).
MAX1178/MAX1188
Selecting Standby or Shutdown Mode
The MAX1178/MAX1188 have a selectable standby or
low-power shutdown mode. In standby mode, the ADC’s
internal reference and reference buffer do not power
down between conversions, eliminating the need to wait
for the reference to power up before performing the next
conversion. Shutdown mode powers down the reference
and reference buffer after completing a conversion. The
reference and reference buffer require a minimum of
12ms to power up and settle from shutdown (CREFADJ =
0.1µF, CREF = 10µF).
The state of R/C at the second falling edge of CS
selects which power-down mode the MAX1178/
MAX1188 enter upon conversion completion. Holding
R/C low causes the MAX1178/MAX1188 to enter standby mode. The reference and buffer are left on after the
conversion completes. R/C high causes the
MAX1178/MAX1188 to enter shutdown mode and
power-down the reference and buffer after conversion
(Figures 5 and 6). Set the voltage at R/C high during
the second falling edge of CS to realize the lowest current operation.

External Reference
An external reference can be placed at either the input
(REFADJ) or the output (REF) of the MAX1178/
MAX1188s’ internal buffer amplifier. Using the buffered
REFADJ input makes buffering the external reference
unnecessary. The input impedance of REFADJ is typically 5kΩ. The internal buffer output must be bypassed
at REF with a 10µF capacitor.
Connect REFADJ to AVDD to disable the internal buffer.
Directly drive REF using an external 3.8V to 4.2V reference. During conversion, the external reference must
be able to drive 100µA of DC load current and have an
output impedance of 10Ω or less.
For optimal performance, buffer the reference through
an op amp and bypass REF with a 10µF capacitor.
Consider the MAX1178/MAX1188s’ equivalent input
noise (0.6 LSB) when choosing a reference.
Reading the Conversion Result
EOC is provided to flag the µP when a conversion is
complete. The falling edge of EOC signals that the data
is valid and ready to be output to the bus. D0–D15 are
the parallel outputs of the MAX1178/MAX1188. These
tri-state outputs allow for direct connection to a microcontroller I/O bus. The outputs remain high impedance
during acquisition and conversion. Data is loaded onto
the output bus with the third falling edge of CS with R/C
high (after tDO). Bringing CS high forces the output bus
back to high impedance. The MAX1178/MAX1188 then
wait for the next falling edge of CS to start the next conversion cycle (Figure 2).
HBEN toggles the output between the high/low byte. The
low byte is loaded onto the output bus when HBEN is
low, and the high byte is on the bus when HBEN is high.

Transfer Function
Figures 8 and 9 show the MAX1178/MAX1188 output
transfer functions. The MAX1178 and MAX1188 outputs
are coded in offset binary.
Input Buffer
Most applications require an input buffer amplifier to
achieve 16-bit accuracy and prevent loading the
source. When the input signal is multiplexed, switch the
channels immediately after acquisition, rather than near
the end of, or after, a conversion. This allows more time
for the input buffer amplifier to respond to a large step

high enough slew rate to complete the required output
voltage change before the beginning of the acquisition
time. Figure 10 shows an example of this circuit using
the MAX427.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use printed circuit boards. 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 ground planes with
only one point connecting the two ground systems (analog and digital) as close to the device as possible.
Route digital signals far away from sensitive analog and
reference inputs. If digital lines must cross analog lines,

ANALOG INPUT CURRENT (mA)
Figures 11 and 12 show how the MAX1178/MAX1188
analog input current varies depending on whether the
chip is operating or powered down. The part is fully
powered down between conversions if the voltage at
R/C is set high during the second falling edge of CS.
The input current abruptly steps to the powered-up
value at the start of acquisition. This step in the input
current can disrupt the ADC input, depending on the
driving circuit’s output impedance at high frequencies. If
the driving circuit cannot fully settle by the end of acquisition, the accuracy of the system can be compromised.
To avoid this situation, increase the acquisition time, use
a driving circuit that can settle within tACQ, or leave the
MAX1178/MAX1188 powered up by setting the voltage
at R/C low during the second falling edge of CS.

do so at right angles to minimize coupling digital noise
onto the analog lines. If the analog and digital sections
share the same supply, isolate the digital and analog
supply by connecting them with a low-value (10Ω)
resistor or ferrite bead.
The ADC is sensitive to high-frequency noise on the
AV DD supply. Bypass AV DD to AGND with a 0.1µF
capacitor in parallel with a 1µF to 10µF low-ESR capacitor with the smallest capacitor closest to the device.
Keep capacitor leads short to minimize stray inductance.

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 MAX1178/MAX1188 are
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 1 LSB guarantees no missing
codes and a monotonic transfer function.
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
noise error only and results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):
SNR = (6.02 × N + 1.76)dB
where N = 16 bits.
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantization noise: thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter,
etc. The 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 the other ADC output signals:

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 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 + V4 2 + V52
THD = 20 × log 
V1




where V1 is the fundamental amplitude and V2 through
V5 are 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 frequency component.
