General DescriptionThe MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030 are serial 10-bit ana-
log-to-digital converters (ADCs) with an internal reference
and an internal temperature sensor. These devices fea-
ture on-chip FIFO, scan mode, internal clock mode, inter-
nal averaging, and AutoShutdown™. The maximum
sampling rate is 300ksps using an external clock. The
MAX1030 has 16 input channels, the MAX1028 has 12
input channels, and the MAX1026 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 +5V supply and contain a 10MHz
SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™-compatible serial port.
The MAX1030 is available in 28-pin 5mm x 5mm TQFN
with exposed pad and 24-pin QSOP packages. The
MAX1026/MAX1028 are only available in QSOP pack-
ages. All three devices are specified over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030
10-Bit 300ksps ADCs with FIFO, emp Sensor, Internal Reference
Detailed DescriptionThe MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030 are low-power, seri-
al-output, multichannel ADCs with temperature-sensing
capability for temperature-control, process-control, and
monitoring applications. These 10-bit ADCs have inter-
nal track and hold (T/H) circuitry that supports single-
ended 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-compati-
ble serial interface.
Figure 2 shows a simplified functional diagram of the
MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030 internal architecture. The
MAX1026 has eight single-ended analog input chan-
nels or four differential channels. The MAX1028 has 12
single-ended analog input channels or six differential
channels. The MAX1030 has 16 single-ended analog

10-Bit 300ksps ADCs with FIFO, emp Sensor, Internal Reference
Converter OperationThe MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030 ADCs use a fully dif-
ferential, successive-approximation register (SAR) con-
version 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 single-
ended mode and bipolar or unipolar ranges for differ-
ential mode.
Input BandwidthThe ADC’s input-tracking circuitry has a 1MHz small-
signal bandwidth, so 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. Anti-alias prefiltering
of the input signals is necessary to avoid high-frequen-
cy 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 VDDby 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 InterfaceThe MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030 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,
and set clock polarity (CPOL) and phase (CPHA) in the
μP control registers to the same value. The MAX1026/
MAX1028/MAX1030 operate with SCLK idling high or
low, and thus operate with CPOL = CPHA = 0 or CPOL
= CPHA = 1. Set CSlow 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-dif-
ferential 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 CSini-
tiates 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 acquisi-
tions are internally or externally timed. Select clock
mode 00 to configure CNVST/AIN_ to act as a conver-
sion start and use it to request the programmed inter-
nally timed conversions without tying up the serial bus.
In clock mode 01, use CNVSTto request conversions
one channel at a time, controlling the sampling speed
without tying up the serial bus. Request and start inter-
nally 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 specifica-
tions and how to begin a conversion.
These devices feature an active-low, end-of-conversion
output. EOCgoes 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, EOCgoes low after the ADC completes each
requested operation. EOCgoes high when CSor CNVST
goes low. EOCis always high in clock mode 11.
Single-Ended/Differential InputThe MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030 use a fully differen-
tial ADC for all conversions. The analog inputs can be
configured for either differential or single-ended con-
versions by writing to the setup register (see Table 3).
Single-ended conversions are internally referenced to
GND (see 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
MAX1026, MAX1028, and MAX1030. AIN8–AIN11 are
only available on the MAX1028 and MAX1030.
AIN12–AIN15 are only available on the MAX1030. See
Tables 2–5 for more details on configuring the inputs.
For the inputs that can be configured as CNVSTor 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.
MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030
10-Bit 300ksps ADCs with FIFO, emp Sensor, Internal Reference
Unipolar/BipolarAddress 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 unipo-
lar mode and two’s complement in bipolar mode (see
the transfer function graphs, Figures 8 and 9).
In single-ended mode, the MAX1026/MAX1028/
MAX1030 always operate in unipolar mode. The analog
inputs are internally referenced to GND with a full-scale
input range from 0 to VREF.
True Differential Analog Input T/HThe equivalent circuit of Figure 3 shows the
MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030s’ 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 length-
ens. The acquisition time, tACQ, is the maximum time
needed for a signal to be acquired, plus the power-up
time. It is calculated by the following equation:
where RIN= 1.5kΩ, RSis 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.
tACQis never less than 1.4μs, and any source imped-
ance below 300Ωdoes not significantly affect the
ADC’s AC performance. A high-impedance source can
be accommodated either by lengthening tACQor by
placing a 1μF capacitor between the positive and neg-
ative analog inputs.
Internal FIFOThe MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030 contain a FIFO
buffer that can hold up to 16 ADC results plus one tem-
perature result. This allows the ADC to handle multiple
internally clocked conversions and a temperature mea-
surement, without tying up the serial bus.
If the FIFO is filled and further conversions are request-
ed 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 4
leading zeros and the LSB followed by 2 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 mea-
surement always contain the temperature result preceded
by 4 leading zeros, MSB first. If another temperature mea-
surement 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 Measurementssection for details on
converting the digital code to a temperature.
Internal ClockThe MAX1026/MAX1028/MAX1030 operate from an inter-
nal 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.RRxpFtAQCSINPWR=+()+924
