General Description
The MAX127/MAX128 are multirange, 12-bit data
acquisition systems (DAS) that require only a single
+5V supply for operation, yet accept signals at their
analog inputs that may span above the power-supply
rail and below ground. These systems provide eight
analog input channels that are independently software
programmable for a variety of ranges: ±10V, ±5V, 0 to
+10V, 0 to +5V for the MAX127; and ±V
REF
, ±V
REF
/2, 0
to +V
REF
, 0 to +V
REF
/2 for the MAX128. This range
switching increases the effective dynamic range to 14
bits and provides the flexibility to interface 4–20mA,
±12V, and ±15V-powered sensors directly to a single
+5V system. In addition, these converters are fault pro-
tected to ±16.5V; a fault condition on any channel will
not affect the conversion result of the selected channel.
Other features include a 5MHz bandwidth track/hold,
an 8ksps throughput rate, and the option of an internal
4.096V or external reference.
The MAX127/MAX128 feature a 2-wire, I
2
C-compatible
serial interface that allows communication among multi-
ple devices using SDA and SCL lines.
A hardware shutdown input (SHDN) and two software-
programmable power-down modes (standby and full
power-down) are provided for low-current shutdown
between conversions. In standby mode, the reference-
buffer remains active, eliminating start-up delays.
The MAX127/MAX128 are available in 24-pin DIP or
space-saving 28-pin SSOP packages.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
