400ksps/300ksps, Single-Supply, Low-Power, 8-Channel,
Serial 12-Bit ADCs with Internal Reference
General Description
The MAX1280/MAX1281 12-bit ADCs combine an 8-chan-
nel analog-input multiplexer, high-bandwidth track/hold,
and serial interface with high conversion speed and low
power consumption. The MAX1280 operates from a single
+4.5V to +5.5V supply; the MAX1281 operates from a sin-
gle +2.7V to +3.6V supply. Both devices’ analog inputs
are software configurable for unipolar/bipolar and single-
ended/pseudo-differential operation.
The 4-wire serial interface connects directly to
SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™ devices without external
logic. A serial strobe output allows direct connection to
TMS320-family digital signal processors. The MAX1280/
MAX1281 use an external serial-interface clock to per-
form successive-approximation analog-to-digital con-
versions. Both parts feature an internal +2.5V reference
and a reference-buffer amplifier with a ±1.5% voltage-
adjustment range. An external reference with a 1V to
V
DD1
range may also be used.
The MAX1280/MAX1281 provide a hard-wired
SHDN
pin and four software-selectable power modes (normal
operation, reduced power, fast power-down, and full
power-down). These devices can be programmed to
automatically shut down at the end of a conversion or to
operate with reduced power. When using the power-
down modes, accessing the serial interface automatical-
ly powers up the devices, and the quick turn-on time
allows them to be powered down between all conver-
sions. This technique can cut supply current to under
100µA at reduced sampling rates.
The MAX1280/MAX1281 are available in 20-pin TSSOP
packages. These devices are higher-speed versions of
the MAX146/MAX147 (for more information, see the
respective 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.
