_______________Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX199, a multi-range, fault-tolerant ADC, uses
successive approximation and internal input track/hold
(T/H) circuitry to convert an analog signal to a 12-bit
digital output. The parallel-output format provides easy
interface to microprocessors (µPs). Figure 3 shows the
MAX199 in its simplest operational configuration.
Analog-Input Track/Hold
In the internal acquisition control mode (control bit D5
set to 0), the T/H enters its tracking mode on WR’s ris-
ing edge, and enters its hold mode when the internally
timed (6 clock cycles) acquisition interval ends. In bipo-
lar mode, a low-impedance input source, which settles
in less than 1.5µs, is required to maintain conversion
accuracy at the maximum conversion rate.
When configured for unipolar mode, the input does not
need to be driven from a low-impedance source. The
acquisition time (t
AZ
) is a function of the source output
resistance (R
S
), the channel input resistance (R
IN
), and
the T/H capacitance.
Acquisition time is calculated by:
For 0V to V
REF
: t
AZ
= 9 x (R
S
+ R
IN
) x 16pF
For 0V to V
REF/2
: t
AZ
= 9 x (R
S
+ R
IN
) x 32pF
where R
IN
= 7k, and t
AZ
is never less than 2µs (0V to
V
REF
range) or 3µs (0V to V
REF/2
range).
In the external acquisition control mode (D5 = 1), the
T/H enters its tracking mode on the first WR rising edge
and enters its hold mode when it detects the second WR
rising edge with D5 = 0. See the
External Acquisition
section.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input tracking circuitry has a 5MHz small-
signal bandwidth. When using the internal acquisition
mode with an external clock frequency of 2MHz, a
100ksps throughput rate can be achieved. It is possible
to digitize high-speed transient events and measure
periodic signals with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s
sampling rate by using undersampling techniques. To
avoid high-frequency signals being aliased into the fre-
quency band of interest, anti-alias filtering is recom-
mended (MAX274/MAX275 continuous-time filters).

Figure 4. Equivalent Input Circuit
The input channels are overvoltage protected to
±16.5V. This protection is active even if the device is in
power-down mode.
Even with V
DD
= 0V, the input resistive network provides
current-limiting that adequately protects the device.
Digital Interface
Input data (control byte) and output data are multiplexed
on a three-state parallel interface. This parallel I/O can
easily be interfaced with a µP. CS, WR, and RD control
the write and read operations. CS is the standard chip-
select signal, which enables a µP to address the MAX199
as an I/O port. When high, it disables the WR and RD
inputs and forces the interface into a high-Z state.
Input Format
The control byte is latched into the device, on pins
D7–D0, during a write cycle. Table 1 shows the control-
byte format.
Output Data Format
The output data format is binary in unipolar mode and
twos-complement binary in bipolar mode. When read-
ing the output data, CS and RD must be low. When
HBEN is low, the lower eight bits are read. When HBEN
is high, the upper four MSBs are available and the out-
put data bits D4–D7 are either set low (in unipolar
mode) or set to the value of the MSB (in bipolar mode)
(Table 5).
