_______________Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX1084/MAX1085 use an input track/hold (T/H)
and successive-approximation register (SAR) circuitry to
convert an analog input signal to a digital 10-bit output.
Figure 3 shows the MAX1084/MAX1085 in their simplest
configuration. The internal reference is trimmed to 2.5V.
The serial interface requires only three digital lines
(SCLK,
CS,
and DOUT) and provides an easy interface to
microprocessors (µPs).
The MAX1084/MAX1085 have two modes: normal and
shutdown. Pulling
SHDN
low shuts the device down and
reduces supply current to 2µA (typ); pulling
SHDN
high
puts the device into operational mode. Pulling CS low ini-
tiates a conversion that is driven by SCLK. The conver-
sion result is available at DOUT in unipolar serial format.
The serial data stream consists of three zeros, followed
by the data bits (MSB first). All transitions on DOUT
occur 20ns after the rising edge of SCLK. Figures 8 and
9 show the interface timing information.
Analog Input
Figure 4 shows the sampling architecture of the ADC’s
comparator. The full-scale input voltage is set by the
internal reference (V
REF
= +2.5V).
Track/Hold
In track mode, the analog signal is acquired and stored
in the internal hold capacitor. In hold mode, the T/H
switch opens and maintains a constant input to the
ADC’s SAR section.
During acquisition, the analog input AIN charges
capacitor C
HOLD
. Bringing
CS
low ends the acquisition
interval. At this instant, the T/H switches the input side
of C
HOLD
to GND. The retained charge on C
HOLD
repre-
sents a sample of the input, unbalancing node ZERO at
the comparator’s input.
In hold mode, the capacitive digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) adjusts during the remainder of the conversion
cycle to restore node ZERO to 0 within the limits of 10-
bit resolution. This action is equivalent to transferring a
charge from C
HOLD
to the binary-weighted capacitive

DAC, which in turn forms a digital representation of the
analog input signal. At the conversion’s end, the input
side of C
HOLD
switches back to AIN, and C
HOLD
charges to the input signal again.
The time required for the T/H to acquire an input signal
is a function of how quickly its input capacitance is
charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high,
the acquisition time lengthens, and more time must be
allowed between conversions. The acquisition time,
t
ACQ
, is the maximum time the device takes to acquire
the signal and the minimum time needed for the signal
to be acquired. Acquisition time is calculated by:
t
ACQ
= 7(R
S
+ R
IN
)
12pF
where R
IN
= 800, R
S
= the input signal’s source
impedance, and t
ACQ
is never less than 468ns
(MAX1284) or 625ns (MAX1085). Source impedance
below 4k does not significantly affect the ADC’s AC
performance.
Higher source impedances can be used if a 0.01µF
capacitor is connected to the analog input. Note that
the input capacitor forms an RC filter with the input
source impedance, limiting the ADC’s input signal
bandwidth.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input tracking circuitry has a 6MHz
(MAX1084) or 3MHz (MAX1085) small-signal band-
width, so it is possible to digitize high-speed transient
events and measure periodic signals with bandwidths
exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by using under-
sampling techniques. To avoid aliasing of unwanted
high-frequency signals into the frequency band of inter-
est, anti-alias filtering is recommended.
Analog Input Protection
Internal protection diodes, which clamp the analog
input to V
DD
and GND, allow the input to swing from
(GND - 0.3V) to (V
DD
+ 0.3V) without damage.
If the analog input exceeds 50mV beyond the supplies,
limit the input current to 2mA.
Internal Reference
The MAX1084/MAX1085 have an on-chip voltage refer-
ence trimmed to 2.5V. The internal reference output is
connected to REF and also drives the internal capacitive
DAC. The output can be used as a reference voltage
source for other components and can source up to
800µA. Bypass REF with a 4.7µF capacitor. Larger
capacitors increase wake-up time when exiting shut-
down (see Using
SHDN
to Reduce Supply Current). The
internal reference is disabled in shutdown (SHDN = 0).
Serial Interface
Initialization After Power-Up and
Starting a Conversion
When power is first applied, and if SHDN is not pulled
low, it takes the fully discharged 4.7µF reference
bypass capacitor up to 1.4ms to acquire adequate
charge for specified accuracy. No conversions should
be performed during this time.
