General Description
The MAX1246/MAX1247 12-bit data-acquisition systems
combine a 4-channel multiplexer, high-bandwidth
track/hold, and serial interface with high conversion
speed and low power consumption. The MAX1246 oper-
ates from a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply; the MAX1247
operates from a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply. Both
devices’ analog inputs are software configurable for
unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/differential operation.
The 4-wire serial interface connects directly to SPI™/
QSPI™ and MICROWIRE™ devices without external
logic. A serial strobe output allows direct connection to
TMS320-family digital signal processors. The MAX1246/
MAX1247 use either the internal clock or an external seri-
al-interface clock to perform successive-approximation
analog-to-digital conversions.
The MAX1246 has an internal 2.5V reference, while the
MAX1247 requires an external reference. Both parts have
a reference-buffer amplifier with a ±1.5% voltage-
adjustment range. These devices provide a hard-wired
SHDN
pin and a software-selectable power-down, and
can be programmed to automatically shut down at the
end of a conversion. Accessing the serial interface auto-
matically powers up the MAX1246/MAX1247, and the
quick turn-on time allows them to be shut down between
all conversions. This technique can cut supply current to
under 60µA at reduced sampling rates. The MAX1246/
MAX1247 are available in a 16-pin DIP and a small QSOP
that occupies the same board area as an 8-pin SO.
For 8-channel versions of these devices, see the
MAX146/MAX147 data sheet.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
