Detailed Description
The MAX1316–MAX1318/MAX1320–MAX1322/MAX1324-
MAX1326 are 14-bit ADCs. They offer two, four, or eight
(independently selectable) input channels, each with its
own T/H circuitry. Simultaneous sampling of all active
channels preserves relative phase information, making
these devices ideal for motor control and power monitor-
ing. These devices are available with 0 to +5V, ±5V, and
±10V input ranges. The 0 to +5V devices feature ±6V
fault-tolerant inputs. The ±5V and ±10V devices feature
±16.5V fault-tolerant inputs. Two channels convert in 2µs;
all eight channels convert in 3.8µs, with a maximum 8-
channel throughput of 263ksps per channel. Internal or
external reference and internal- or external-clock capabil-
ity offer great flexibility and ease of use. A write-only con-
figuration register can mask out unused channels, and a
shutdown feature reduces power. A 16.6MHz, 14-bit, par-
allel data bus outputs the conversion result. Figure 1
shows the functional diagram of these devices.
Analog Inputs
T/H
To preserve phase information across these multichan-
nel devices, each input channel has a dedicated
T/H amplifier.
Use a low-input source impedance to minimize gain-
error harmonic distortion. The time required for the T/H
to acquire an input signal depends on the input source
impedance. If the input signal’s source impedance is
high, the acquisition time lengthens and more time
must be allowed between conversions. The acquisition
time (t
1
) is the maximum time the device takes to
acquire the signal. Use the following formula to calcu-
late acquisition time:
t
1
= 10 (R
S
+ R
IN
) x 6pF
where R
IN
= 2.2k, R
S
= the input signal’s source
impedance, and t
1
is never less than 180ns. A source
impedance of less than 100 does not significantly
affect the ADC’s performance.

To improve the input-signal bandwidth under AC condi-
tions, drive the input with a wideband buffer (>50MHz)
that can drive the ADC’s input capacitance and settle
quickly. For example, the MAX4265 can be used for +5V
unipolar devices, or the MAX4350 can be used for ±5V
bipolar inputs.
The T/H aperture delay is typically 13ns. The aperture-
delay mismatch between T/Hs of 50ps allows the relative
phase information of up to eight different inputs to be
preserved. Figure 2 shows a simplified equivalent input
circuit, illustrating the ADC’s sampling architecture.
Input Bandwidth
The input tracking circuitry has a 12MHz small-signal
bandwidth, making 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.
Input Range and Protection
These devices provide ±10V, ±5V, or 0 to +5V analog
input voltage ranges. Figure 2 shows the equivalent input
circuit. Overvoltage protection circuitry at the analog
input provides ±16.5V fault protection for the bipolar input
devices and ±6.0V fault protection for the unipolar input
devices. This fault-protection circuit limits the current
going into or out of the device to less than 50mA, provid-
ing an added layer of protection from momentary over-
voltage or undervoltage conditions at the analog input.
Power-Saving Modes
Shutdown Mode
During shutdown, the analog and digital circuits in the
device power down and the device draws less than
100µA from AV
DD
, and less than 100µA from DV
DD
.
Select shutdown mode using the SHDN input. Set SHDN
high to enter shutdown mode. After coming out of shut-
down, allow a 1ms wake-up time before making the first
conversion. When using an external clock, apply at least
20 clock cycles with CONVST high before making the first
conversion. When using internal-clock mode, wait at least
2µs before making the first conversion.
ALLON
ALLON is useful when some of the analog input channels
are selected (see the
Configuration Register
section).
Drive ALLON high to power up all input channel circuits,
regardless of whether they are selected as active by the
configuration register. Drive ALLON low or connect to
ground to power only the input channels selected as
active by the configuration register, saving 2mA per
channel (typ). The wake-up time for any channel turned
on with the configuration register is 2µs (typ) when
ALLON is low. The wake-up time with ALLON high is
only 0.01µs. New configuration-register information
does not become active until the next CONVST falling
edge. Therefore, when using software to control power
states (ALLON = 0), pulse CONVST low once before
applying the actual CONVST signal (Figure 3). With an
external clock, apply at least 15 clock cycles before
the second CONVST. If using internal-clock mode, wait
at least 1.5µs or until the first EOC before generating
the second CONVST.

Clock Modes
These devices provide an internal clock of 10MHz
(typ). Alternatively, an external clock can be used.
Internal Clock
Internal-clock mode frees the microprocessor from the
burden of running the ADC conversion clock. For internal-
clock operation, connect INTCLK/EXTCLK to AV
DD
and
connect CLK to DGND. Table 1 illustrates the total con-
version time using internal-clock mode.
External Clock
For external-clock operation, connect INTCLK/EXTCLK
to AGND and connect an external-clock source to CLK.
Note that INTCLK/EXTCLK is referenced to the analog
power supply, AV
DD
. The external-clock frequency can
be up to 15MHz, with a duty cycle between 30% and
70%. Clock frequencies of 100kHz and lower can be
used, but the droop in the T/H circuits reduce linearity.
Selecting an Input Buffer
Most applications require an input buffer to achieve 14-
bit accuracy. Although slew-rate and bandwidth are
important, the most critical specification is settling time.
The sampling requires a relatively brief sampling inter-
val of 150ns. At the beginning of the acquisition, the
internal sampling capacitor array connects to CH_ (the
amplifier output), causing some output disturbance.
Ensure the amplifier is capable of settling to at least 14-
bit accuracy during this interval. Use a low-noise, low-
distortion, wideband amplifier (such as the MAX4350 or
MAX4265), which settles quickly and is stable with the
ADC’s capacitive load (in parallel with any bypass
capacitors on the analog inputs).
Applications Section
Digital Interface
The bidirectional, parallel, digital interface sets the 8-bit
configuration register (see the
Configuration Register
section) and outputs the 14-bit conversion result. The
interface includes the following control signals: chip
select (CS), read (RD), write (WR), end of conversion
(EOC), end of last conversion (EOLC), convert start
(CONVST), shutdown (SHDN), all on (ALLON), internal-
clock select (INTCLK /EXTCLK), and external-clock input
(CLK). Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, Table 4, and the
Timing
Characteristics
section show the operation of the inter-
face. D0–D7 are bidirectional, and D8–D13 are output
only. All bits are high impedance when RD = 1 or CS = 1.
Configuration Register
Enable channels as active by writing to the configuration
register through I/O lines D0–D7 (Table 2). The bits in the
configuration register map directly to the channels, with
D0 controlling channel zero, and D7 controlling channel
seven. Setting any bit high activates the corresponding
input channel, while resetting any bit low deactivates the
corresponding channel. Devices with fewer than eight
channels contain some bits that have no function.
