General Description
The MAX1291/MAX1293 low-power, 12-bit analog-to-dig-
ital converters (ADCs) feature a successive-approxima-
tion ADC, automatic power-down, fast wake-up (2µs), an
on-chip clock, +2.5V internal reference, and a high-
speed, byte-wide parallel interface. They operate with a
single +3V analog supply and feature a V
LOGIC
pin that
allows them to interface directly with a +1.8V to +5.5V
digital supply.
Power consumption is only 5.7mW (V
DD
= V
LOGIC
) at the
maximum sampling rate of 250ksps. Two software-selec-
table power-down modes enable the MAX1291/
MAX1293 to be shut down between conversions;
accessing the parallel interface returns them to normal
operation. Powering down between conversions can cut
supply current to under 10µA at reduced sampling rates.
Both devices offer software-configurable analog inputs
for unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differen-
tial operation. In single-ended mode, the MAX1291 has
eight input channels and the MAX1293 has four input
channels (four and two input channels, respectively,
when in pseudo-differential mode).
Excellent dynamic performance and low power, com-
bined with ease of use and small package size, make
these converters ideal for battery-powered and data-
acquisition applications or for other circuits with demand-
ing power consumption and space requirements.
The MAX1291/MAX1293 tri-states INT when CS goes
high. Refer to MAX1261/MAX1263 if tri-stating INT is not
desired.
The MAX1291 is available in a 28-pin QSOP package,
while the MAX1293 is available in a 24-pin QSOP. For
pin-compatible +5V, 12-bit versions, refer to the
MAX1290/MAX1292 data sheet.
