420ksps / +5V / 6-/2-Channel / 12-Bit ADCs with +2.5V Reference and Parallel Interface
General DescriptionThe MAX1294/MAX1296 low-power, 12-bit analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs) feature a successive-approxi-
mation ADC, automatic power-down, fast wake-up
(2μs), on-chip clock, +2.5V internal reference, and
high-speed 12-bit parallel interface. They operate with
a single +5V analog supply.
Power consumption is only 10mW at the maximum sam-
pling rate of 420ksps. Two software-selectable power-
down modes enable the MAX1294/MAX1296 to be shut
down between conversions; accessing the parallel
interface returns them to normal operation. Powering
down between conversions can reduce supply 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 MAX1294 has six
input channels and the MAX1296 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 con-
verters ideal for battery-powered and data-acquisition
applications or for other circuits with demanding power-
consumption and space requirements. The MAX1294 is
offered in a 28-pin QSOP package, while the MAX1296
is available in a 24-pin QSOP. For pin-compatible +3V,
12-bit versions, see the MAX1295/MAX1297.

_______________Detailed Description
Converter OperationThe MAX1294/MAX1296 ADCs use a successive-approx-
imation (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 easy
interface to standard microprocessors (μPs). Figure 2
shows the simplified internal architecture of the MAX1294/
MAX1296.

Table 1. Control-Byte Functional Description
Single-Ended and
Pseudo-Differential OperationThe sampling architecture of the ADCs’ analog com-
parator is illustrated in the equivalent input circuits of
Figure 3. In single-ended mode, IN+ is internally
switched to channels CH0–CH5 for the MAX1294
(Figure 3a) and to CH0–CH1 for the MAX1296 (Figure
3b), while IN- is switched to COM (Table 2). In differen-
tial mode, IN+ and IN- are selected from analog input
pairs (Table 3) and are internally switched to either of
the analog inputs. This configuration is pseudo-differen-
tial to the effect that only the signal at IN+ is sampled.
The return side (IN-) must remain stable within ±0.5LSB
(±0.1LSB 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.
MAX1294/MAX1296
420ksps, +5V, 6-/2-Channel, 12-Bit ADCs
with +2.5V Reference and Parallel InterfaceDuring the acquisition interval, the channel selected as
the positive input (IN+) charges capacitor CHOLD. At
the end of the acquisition interval, the T/H switch
opens, retaining charge on CHOLDas a sample of the
signal at IN+.
The conversion interval begins with the input multiplex-
er switching CHOLDfrom the positive input (IN+) to the
negative input (IN-). This unbalances node ZERO at the
comparator’s positive input. The capacitive digital-to-
analog converter (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 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 ProtectionInternal protection diodes, which clamp the analog
input to VDDand 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/HoldThe MAX1294/MAX1296 T/H stage enters its tracking
mode on the rising edge of WR. In external acquisition
mode, the part enters its hold mode on the next on ris-
ing 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.
In single-ended operation, IN- is connected to COM
and the converter samples the positive “+” input. In
pseudo-differential operation, IN- connects to the nega-
tive input “-”, and the difference of |(IN+) - (IN-)|is sam-
pled. 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,
