MAX1282/MAX1283
Using Fast Power-Down
and Reduced-Power Modes
FASTPD and REDP modes achieve the lowest power
consumption at speeds close to the maximum sampling
rate. Figure 10 shows the MAX1283’s power
consumption in FASTPD mode (PD1 = 0, PD0 = 1),
REDP mode (PD1 = 1, PD0 = 0), and, for comparison,
normal operating mode (PD1 = 1, PD0 = 1). The figure
shows power consumption using the specified power-
down mode, with the internal reference and conversion
controlled at the maximum clock speed. The clock
speed in FASTPD or REDP should be limited to 4.8MHz
for the MAX1282/MAX1283. FULLPD mode may provide
increased power savings in applications where the
MAX1282/MAX1283 are inactive for long periods of time,
but intermittent bursts of high-speed conversions are
required. Figure 11b shows FASTPD and REDP timing.
Internal and External References
The MAX1282/MAX1283 can be used with an internal
or external reference voltage. An external reference
can be connected directly at REF or at the REFADJ pin.
An internal buffer is designed to provide 2.5V at
REF for the MAX1282/MAX1283. The internally trimmed
1.22V reference is buffered with a 2.05 gain.
Internal Reference
The MAX1282/MAX1283’s full-scale range with the inter-
nal reference is 2.5V with unipolar inputs and ±1.25V
with bipolar inputs. The internal reference voltage is
adjustable by ±100mV with the circuit in Figure 12.
External Reference
The MAX1282/MAX1283’s external reference can be
placed at the input (REFADJ) or the output (REF) of the
internal reference-buffer amplifier. The REFADJ input
impedance is typically 17k. At REF, the DC input
resistance is a minimum of 18k. During conversion, an
external reference at REF must deliver up to 350µA DC
load current and have 10 or less output impedance. If
the reference has a higher output impedance or is
noisy, bypass it close to the REF pin with a 4.7µF
capacitor.

To use the direct REF input, disable the internal buffer by
connecting REFADJ to V
DD1
. Using the REFADJ input
makes buffering the external reference unnecessary.
Transfer Function
Table 5 shows the full-scale voltage ranges for unipolar
and bipolar modes.
Figure 13 depicts the nominal, unipolar input/output
(I/O) transfer function, and Figure 14 shows the bipolar
I/O transfer function. Code transitions occur halfway
between successive-integer LSB values. Output coding
is binary, with 1LSB = 0.61mV (2.500V / 4096) for unipo-
lar operation, and 1LSB = 0.61mV [(2.500V / 2) / 4096]
for bipolar operation.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use PC 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 (espe-
cially clock) lines parallel to one another, or digital lines
underneath the ADC package.
Figure 15 shows the recommended system ground
connections. Establish a single-point analog ground
(star ground point) at GND. Connect all other analog
grounds to the star ground. Connect the digital system
ground to this ground only at this point. For lowest-
noise operation, the ground return to the star ground’s
power supply should be low impedance and as short
as possible.
High-frequency noise in the V
DD1
power supply may
affect the high-speed comparator in the ADC. Bypass
the supply to the star ground with 0.1µF and 10µF
capacitors close to V
DD1
of the MAX1282/MAX1283.
Minimize capacitor lead lengths for best supply-noise
rejection. If the power supply is very noisy, a 10 resis-
tor can be connected as a lowpass filter (Figure 15).
High-Speed Digital Interfacing with QSPI
The MAX1282/MAX1283 can interface with QSPI using
the circuit in Figure 16 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0). This
QSPI circuit can be programmed to do a conversion on
each of the four channels. The result is stored in memory
without taxing the CPU, since QSPI incorporates its own
microsequencer.
