__________________General Description
The MAX1240/MAX1241 low-power, 12-bit analog-todigital converters (ADCs) are available in 8-pin packages. The MAX1240 operates with a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply, and the MAX1241 operates with a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply. Both devices feature a 7.5µs successive-approximation ADC, a fast track/hold (1.5µs), an on-chip clock, and a high-speed, 3-wire serial interface. Power consumption is only 37mW (VDD = 3V) at the 73ksps maximum sampling speed. A 2µA shutdown mode reduces power at slower throughput rates. The MAX1240 has an internal 2.5V reference, while the MAX1241 requires an external reference. The MAX1241 accepts signals from 0V to VREF, and the reference input range includes the positive supply rail. An external clock accesses data from the 3-wire interface, which connects directly to standard microcontroller I/O ports. The interface is compatible with SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™. Excellent AC characteristics and very low power combined with ease of use and small package size make these converters ideal for remote-sensor and dataacquisition applications, or for other circuits with demanding power consumption and space requirements. The MAX1240/MAX1241 are available in 8-pin PDIP and SO packages.

_______________Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX1240/MAX1241 use an input track/hold (T/H) and successive-approximation register (SAR) circuitry to convert an analog input signal to a digital 12-bit output. No external-hold capacitor is needed for the T/H. Figure 3 shows the MAX1240/MAX1241 in its simplest configuration. The MAX1240/MAX1241 convert input signals in the 0V to VREF range in 9µs, including T/H acquisition time. The MAX1240’s internal reference is trimmed to 2.5V, while the MAX1241 requires an external reference. Both devices accept voltages from 1.0V to VDD. The serial interface requires only three digital lines (SCLK, CS, and DOUT) and provides an easy interface to microprocessors (µPs). The MAX1240/MAX1241 have two modes: normal and shutdown. Pulling SHDN low shuts the device down and reduces supply current below 10µA (VDD ≤ 3.6V), while pulling SHDN high or leaving it open puts the device into operational mode. Pulling CS low initiates a conversion. The conversion result is available at DOUT in unipolar serial format. The serial data stream consists of a high bit, signaling the end of conversion (EOC), followed by the data bits (MSB first).
Analog Input
Figure 4 illustrates the sampling architecture of the analog-to-digital converter’s (ADC’s) comparator. The fullscale input voltage is set by the voltage at REF. 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 CHOLD. Bringing CS low ends the acquisition interval. At this instant, the T/H switches the input side of CHOLD to GND. The retained charge on CHOLD represents 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 0V within the limits of 12bit resolution. This action is equivalent to transferring a charge from CHOLD 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 (tACQ) is the maximum time the device takes to acquire the signal, and is also the minimum time needed for the signal to be acquired. Acquisition time is calculated by: tACQ = 9(RS + RIN) x 16pF where RIN = 9kΩ, RS = the input signal’s source impedance, and tACQ is never less than 1.5µs. Source impedances below 1kΩ do not significantly affect the ADC’s AC performance.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
+2.7V, Low-Power, 12-Bit Serial ADCs in 8-Pin SO
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 ADCs’ input tracking circuitry has a 2.25MHz smallsignal bandwidth, so it is possible to digitize highspeed transient events and measure periodic signals with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by using undersampling techniques. To avoid aliasing of unwanted high-frequency signals into the frequency band of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended. Analog Input Protection Internal protection diodes, which clamp the analog input to VDD and GND, allow the input to swing from GND - 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V without damage. However, for accurate conversions near full scale, the input must not exceed VDD by more than 50mV, or be lower than GND by 50mV. If the analog input exceeds 50mV beyond the supplies, limit the input current to 2mA. Internal Reference (MAX1240) The MAX1240 has an on-chip voltage reference 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 400µA. Bypass REF with a 4.7µF capacitor. Larger capacitors increase wake-up time when exiting shutdown (see the section Using SHDN to Reduce Supply Current). The internal reference is enabled by pulling the SHDN pin high. Letting SHDN open disables the internal reference, which allows the use of an external reference, as described in the External Reference section. External Reference The MAX1240/MAX1241 operate with an external reference at the REF pin. To use the MAX1240 with an external reference, disable the internal reference by letting SHDN open. Stay within the +1.0V to VDD voltage range to achieve specified accuracy. The minimum input impedance is 18kΩ for DC currents. During conversion, the external reference must be able to deliver up to 250µA of DC load current and have an output impedance of 10Ω or less. The recommended minimum value for the bypass capacitor is 0.1µF. If the reference has higher output impedance or is noisy, bypass it close to the REF pin with a 4.7µF capacitor.

____________________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 20ms to provide adequate charge for specified accuracy. With an external reference, the internal reset time is 10µs after the power supplies have stabilized. No conversions should be performed during these times. To start a conversion, pull CS low. At CS’s falling edge, the T/H enters its hold mode and a conversion is initiat-

ed. After an internally timed conversion period, the end of conversion is signaled by DOUT pulling high. Data can then be shifted out serially with the external clock. Power consumption can be reduced significantly by shutting down the MAX1240/MAX1241 between conversions. Figure 6 shows a plot of average supply current versus conversion rate. Because the MAX1241 uses an external reference voltage (assumed to be present continuously), it “wakes up” from shutdown more quickly (in 4µs) and therefore provides lower average supply currents. The wake-up time (tWAKE) is the time from when SHDN is deasserted to the time when a conversion may be initiated (Figure 5). For the MAX1240, this time depends on the time in shutdown (Figure 7) because the external 4.7µF reference bypass capacitor loses charge slowly during shutdown.

External Clock
The actual conversion does not require the external clock. This allows the conversion result to be read back at the µP’s convenience at any clock rate from up to 2.1MHz. The clock duty cycle is unrestricted if each clock phase is at least 200ns. Do not run the clock while a conversion is in progress.

Timing and Control
Conversion-start and data-read operations are controlled by the CS and SCLK digital inputs. The timing diagrams of Figures 8 and 9 outline serial-interface operation. A CS falling edge initiates a conversion sequence: the T/H stage holds the input voltage, the ADC begins to convert, and DOUT changes from high impedance to logic low. SCLK must be kept low during the conversion. An internal register stores the data when the conversion is in progress.

End of conversion (EOC) is signaled by DOUT going high. DOUT’s rising edge can be used as a framing signal. SCLK shifts the data out of this register any time after the conversion is complete. DOUT transitions on SCLK’s falling edge. The next falling clock edge produces the MSB of the conversion at DOUT, followed by the remaining bits. Since there are 12 data bits and one leading high bit, at least 13 falling clock edges are needed to shift out these bits. Extra clock pulses occurring after the conversion result has been clocked out, and prior to a rising edge of CS, produce trailing zeros at DOUT and have no effect on converter operation. Minimum cycle time is accomplished by using DOUT’s rising edge as the EOC signal. Clock out the data with 12.5 clock cycles at full speed. Pull CS high after readOUTPUT CODE 11…111 11…110 11…101
ing the conversion’s LSB. After the specified minimum time (tCS), CS can be pulled low again to initiate the next conversion.
Output Coding and Transfer Function
The data output from the MAX1240/MAX1241 is binary, and Figure 10 depicts the nominal transfer function. Code transitions occur halfway between successiveinteger LSB values. If VREF = +2.500V, then 1 LSB = 610µV or 2.500V/4096.

Connection to Standard Interfaces
The MAX1240/MAX1241 serial interface is fully compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE standard serial interfaces (Figure 11). If a serial interface is available, set the CPU’s serial interface in master mode so the CPU generates the serial clock. Choose a clock frequency up to 2.1MHz. 1) Use a general-purpose I/O line on the CPU to pull CS low. Keep SCLK low. 2) Wait the for the maximum conversion time specified before activating SCLK. Alternatively, look for a DOUT rising edge to determine the end of conversion. 3) Activate SCLK for a minimum of 13 clock cycles. The first falling clock edge produces the MSB of the DOUT conversion. DOUT output data transitions on SCLK’s falling edge and is available in MSB-first format. Observe the SCLK to DOUT valid timing characteristic. Data can be clocked into the µP on SCLK’s rising edge. 4) Pull CS high at or after the 13th falling clock edge. If CS remains low, trailing zeros are clocked out after the LSB.

5) With CS = high, wait the minimum specified time, tCS, before initiating a new conversion by pulling CS low. If a conversion is aborted by pulling CS high before the conversion’s end, wait for the minimum acquisition time, tACQ, before starting a new conversion. CS must be held low until all data bits are clocked out. Data can be output in two bytes or continuously, as shown in Figure 8. The bytes contain the result of the conversion padded with one leading 1, and trailing 0s.

SPI and MICROWIRE
When using SPI or MICROWIRE, set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0. Conversion begins with a CS falling edge. DOUT goes low, indicating a conversion in progress. Wait until DOUT goes high or until the maximum specified 7.5µs conversion time elapses. Two consecutive 1-byte reads are required to get the full 12 bits from the ADC. DOUT output data transitions on SCLK’s falling edge and is clocked into the µP on SCLK’s rising edge. The first byte contains a leading 1, and seven bits of conversion result. The second byte contains the remaining five bits and three trailing zeros. See Figure 11 for connections and Figure 12 for timing.

Set CPOL = CPHA = 0. Unlike SPI, which requires two 1-byte reads to acquire the 12 bits of data from the ADC, QSPI allows the minimum number of clock cycles necessary to clock in the data. The MAX1240/MAX1241 requires 13 clock cycles from the µP to clock out the 12 bits of data with no trailing zeros (Figure 13). The maximum clock frequency to ensure compatibility with QSPI is 2.097MHz.

Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use printed circuit boards. Wirewrap boards are not recommended. Board layout should ensure that digital and analog signal lines are separated from each other. Do not run analog and digital (especially clock) lines parallel to one another, or digital lines underneath the ADC package. Figure 14 shows the recommended system ground connections. Establish a single-point analog ground (“star” ground point) at GND, separate from the logic ground. Connect all other analog grounds and DGND to this star ground point for further noise reduction. No other digital system ground should be connected to this single-point analog ground. The ground return to the power supply for this ground should be low impedance and as short as possible for noise-free operation. High-frequency noise in the VDD power supply may affect
the ADC’s high-speed comparator. Bypass this supply to the single-point analog ground with 0.1µF and 4.7µF bypass capacitors. Minimize capacitor lead lengths for best supply-noise rejection. If the power supply is very noisy, a 10Ω resistor can be connected as a lowpass filter to attenuate supply noise (Figure 14).
