Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174 use a successive-
approximation (SAR) conversion technique with an
inherent track-and-hold (T/H) stage to convert an ana-
log input into a 14-bit digital output. Parallel outputs
provide a high-speed interface to microprocessors
(µPs). The Functional Diagram shows a simplified inter-
nal architecture of the MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174.
Figure 3 shows a typical application circuit for the
MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174.
Analog Input
Input Scaler
The MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174 have an input
scaler, which allows conversion of true bipolar input
voltages and input voltages greater than the power
supply, while operating from a single +5V analog sup-
ply. The input scaler attenuates and shifts the analog
input to match the input range of the internal DAC. The
MAX1156 has a unipolar input voltage range of 0 to
+10V. The MAX1158 input voltage range is ±10V while
the MAX1174 input voltage range is ±5V. Figure 4
shows the equivalent input circuit of the MAX1156/
MAX1158/MAX1174. This circuit limits the current going
into or out of AIN to less than 1.8mA.
Track and Hold (T/H)
In track mode, the internal hold capacitor acquires the
analog signal (see Figure 4). In hold mode, the T/H
switches open and the capacitive DAC samples the
analog input. During the acquisition, the analog input
(AIN) charges capacitor C
HOLD
. The acquisition ends
on the second falling edge of CS. At this instant, the
T/H switches open. The retained charge on C
HOLD
rep-
resents a sample of the input. In hold mode, the capac-
itive DAC adjusts during the remainder of the
conversion time to restore node T/H OUT to zero within
the limits of 14-bit resolution. Force CS low to put valid
data on the bus after conversion is complete.

Power-Down Modes
Select standby mode or shutdown mode with the R/C
bit during the second falling edge of CS (see the
Selecting Standby or Shutdown Mode section). The
MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174 automatically enter
either standby mode (reference and buffer on) or shut-
down (reference and buffer off) after each conversion,
depending on the status of R/C during the second
falling edge of CS.
Internal Clock
The MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174 generate an internal
conversion clock to free the microprocessor from the
burden of running the SAR conversion clock. Total con-
version time (t
CONV
) after entering hold mode (second
falling edge of CS) to end of conversion (EOC) falling is
4.7µs (max).
Applications Information
Starting a Conversion
CS and R/C control acquisition and conversion in the
MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174 (see Figure 2). The first
falling edge of CS powers up the device and puts it in
acquire mode if R/C is low. The convert start is ignored
if R/C is high. The MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174 need
at least 12ms (C
REFADJ
= 0.1µF, C
REF
= 10µF) for the
internal reference to wake up and settle before starting
the conversion, if powering up from shutdown.

Selecting Standby or Shutdown Mode
The MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174 have a selectable
standby or low-power shutdown mode. In standby
mode, the ADCs internal reference and reference
buffer do not power down between conversions, elimi-
nating the need to wait for the reference to power up
before performing the next conversion. Shutdown mode
powers down the reference and reference buffer after
completing a conversion. The reference and reference
buffer require a minimum of 12ms (C
REFADJ
= 0.1µF,
C
REF
= 10µF) to power up and settle from shutdown.
The state of R/C at the second falling edge of CS
selects which power-down mode the MAX1156/
MAX1158/MAX1174 enter upon conversion completion.
Holding R/C low causes the MAX1156/MAX1158/
MAX1174 to enter standby mode. The reference and
buffer are left on after the conversion completes. R/C
high causes the MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174 to enter
shutdown mode and power down the reference and
buffer after conversion (see Figures 5 and 6). Set the
voltage at R/C high during the second falling edge of
CS to realize the lowest current operation.
Standby Mode
While in standby mode, the supply current is less than
3.7mA (typ). The next falling edge of CS with R/C low
causes the MAX1156/MAX1158/MAX1174 to exit stand-
by mode and begin acquisition. The reference and ref-
erence buffer remain active to allow quick turn-on time.
Shutdown Mode
In shutdown mode, the reference and reference buffer
are shut down between conversions. Shutdown mode
reduces supply current to 0.5µA (typ) immediately after
the conversion. The next falling edge of CS with R/C
low causes the reference and buffer to wake up and
enter acquisition mode. To achieve 14-bit accuracy,
allow 12ms (C
REFADJ
= 0.1µF, C
REF
= 10µF) for the
internal reference to wake up.
Internal and External Reference
Internal Reference
The internal reference of the MAX1156/MAX1158/
MAX1174 is internally buffered to provide +4.096V out-
put at REF. Bypass REF to AGND and REFADJ to
AGND with 10µF and 0.1µF, respectively. Sink or
source current at REFADJ to make fine adjustments to
the internal reference. The input impedance of REFADJ
is nominally 5k. Use the circuit of Figure 7 to adjust
the internal reference to ±1.5%.
