does not require microprocessor WAIT states. A READ
operation simultaneously initiates a conversion and
reads the previous conversion result.
Interface Mode 0
Figure 5 shows the timing diagram for Mode 0 opera-
tion. This is used with microprocessors that have WAIT
state capability, whereby a READ instruction is extend-
ed to accommodate slow-memory devices. Taking CS
and RD low latches the analog multiplexer address and
starts a conversion. Data outputs DB0–DB7 remain in
the high-impedance condition until the conversion is
complete.
There are two status outputs: Interrupt (INT
) and Ready
(RDY). RDY, an open-drain output (no internal pull-up
device), is connected to the processor’s READY/WAIT
input. RDY goes low on the falling edge of CS and goes
high impedance at the end of the conversion, when the
conversion result appears on the data outputs. If the RDY
output is not required, its external pull-up resistor can be
omitted. INT goes low when the conversion is complete
and returns high on the rising edge of CSor RD.
Interface Mode 1
Mode 1 is designed for applications where the micro-
processor is not forced into a WAIT state. Taking CS
and RD low latches the multiplexer address and starts
a conversion (Figure 6). Data from the previous conver-
sion is immediately read from the outputs (DB0–DB7).
INT goes high at the rising edge of CS or RD and goes
low at the end of the conversion. A second READ oper-
ation is required to read the result of this conversion.
The second READ latches a new multiplexer address
and starts another conversion. A delay of 2.5µs must
be allowed between READ operations. RDY goes low
on the falling edge of CS and goes high impedance at
the rising edge of CS. If RDY is not needed, its external
pull-up resistor can be omitted.

_____________Analog Considerations
Reference and Input
The V
REF
+ and V
R
E
F
- inputs of the converter define the
zero and the full-scale of the ADC. In other words, the
voltage at V
REF
- is equal to the input voltage that pro-
duces an output code of all zeros, and the voltage at
V
REF
+ is equal to input voltage that produces an output
code of all ones (Figure 7).
Figure 8 shows some possible reference configura-
tions. For the MAX154/MAX158, a 0.01µF bypass
capacitor to GND should be used to reduce the high-
frequency output impedance of the internal reference.
Larger capacitors should not be used, as this degrades
the stability of the reference buffer. The 2.5V reference
output is with respect to the GND pin.
Bypassing
A 47µF electrolytic and 0.1µF ceramic capacitor should
be used to bypass the V
DD
pin to GND. These capaci-
tors must have minimum lead length, since excess lead
length may contribute to conversion errors and instability.
If the reference inputs are driven by long lines, they
should be bypassed to GND with 0.1µF capacitors at
the reference input pins.

Input Current
The converters’ analog inputs behave somewhat differ-
ently from conventional ADCs. The sampled data com-
parators take varying amounts of current from the input,
depending on the cycle they are in. The equivalent cir-
cuit of the converter is shown in Figure 9a. When the
conversion starts, AIN(n) is connected to the MS and
LS comparators. Thus, AIN(n) is connected to thirty-one
1pF capacitors.
To acquire the input signal in approximately 1µs, the
input capacitors must charge to the input voltage
through the on-resistance of the multiplexer (about
600) and the comparator’s analog switches (2k to
5kper comparator). In addition, about 12pF of stray
capacitance must be charged. The input can be mod-
eled as an equivalent RC network shown in Figure 9b.
As R
S
(source impedance) increases, the capacitors
take longer to charge.
Since the length of the input acquisition time is internal-
ly set, large source resistances (greater than 100) will
cause settling errors. The output impedance of an op-
amp is its open-loop output impedance divided by the
loop gain at the frequency of interest. It is important
that the amplifier driving the converter input have suffi-
cient loop gain at approximately 1MHz to maintain low
output impedance.
Input Filtering
The transients in the analog input caused by the sam-
pled data comparators do not degrade the converter’s
performance, since the ADC does not “look” at the
input when these transients occur. The comparator’s
outputs track the input during the first 1µs of the con-
version, and are then latched. Therefore, at least 1µs
will be provided to charge the ADC’s input capaci-
tance. It is not necessary to filter these transients with
an external capacitor on the AIN terminals.
Sinusoidal Inputs
The MAX154/MAX158 and MX7824/MX7828 can mea-
sure input signals with slew rates as high as 157mV/µs
to the rated specifications. This means that the analog
input frequency can be as high as 10kHz without the
aid of an external track/hold. The maximum sampling
rate is limited by the conversion time (typical t
CRD
=
2µs) plus the time required between conversions (t
p
=
500ns). It is calculated as:
