_______________General Description
The MAX152 high-speed, microprocessor (µP)-com-
patible, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) uses a
half-flash technique to achieve a 1.8µs conversion
time, and digitizes at a rate of 400k samples per sec-
ond (ksps). It operates with single +3V or dual ±3V
supplies and accepts either unipolar or bipolar inputs.
– —— — ——
— — —
–
A P O W E R D O W N pin reduces current consumption to
a typical value of 1µA. The part returns from power-
down and acquires an input signal in less than 900ns,
providing large reductions in supply current in applica-
tions with burst-mode input signals.
The MAX152 is DC and dynamically tested. Its µP inter-
face appears as a memory location or input/output port that
requires no external interface logic. The data outputs use
latched, three-state buffered circuitry for direct connection
to a µP data bus or system input port. The ADC's input/ref-
erence arrangement enables ratiometric operation. A fully-
assembled evaluation kit provides a proven PC board lay-
out to speed prototyping and design.

Note 6:
Input control signals are specified with tr = tf = 5ns, 10% to 90% of +3.0V, and timed from a voltage level of 1.3V. Timing
delays get shorter at higher supply voltages. See the Converson Time vs. Supply Voltage graph in the
Typical Operating
Characteristics
to extrapolate timing delays at other power-supply voltages.
Note 7:
See Figure 1 for load circuit. Parameter defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.66V or 2.0V.
Note 8:
See Figure 2 for load circuit. Parameter defined as the time required for the data lines to change 0.5V.
