General Description
The MAX1253/MAX1254 are stand-alone, 10-channel (8
external, 2 internal) 12-bit system monitor ADCs with
internal reference. A programmable single-ended/dif-
ferential mux accepts voltage and remote-diode tem-
perature-sensor inputs. These devices independently
monitor the input channels without microprocessor
interaction and generate an interrupt when any variable
exceeds user-defined limits. The MAX1253/MAX1254
configure both high and low limits, as well as the num-
ber of fault cycles allowed, before generating an inter-
rupt. These ADCs can also perform recursive data
averaging for noise reduction. Programmable wait inter-
vals between conversion sequences allow the selection
of the sample rate.
At the maximum sampling rate of 94ksps (auto mode,
single channel enabled), the MAX1253 consumes only
5mW (1.7mA at 3V). AutoShutdown
TM
reduces supply
current to 190µA at 2ksps and to less than 8µA at 50sps.
Stand-alone operation, combined with ease of use in a
small package (16-pin TSSOP), makes the MAX1253/
MAX1254 ideal for multichannel system-monitoring
applications. Low power consumption also makes
these devices a good fit for hand-held and battery-pow-
ered applications.

Note 1:
Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the gain and offset errors
have been calibrated.
Note 2:
Offset nulled.
Note 3:
In reference mode 00, the reference system powers up for each temperature measurement. In reference mode 01, the ref-
erence system powers up once per sequence of channels scanned. If a sample wait <80µs is programmed, the reference
system is on all the time. In reference mode 10, the reference system is on all the time (see Table 7).
Note 4:
No external capacitor on REF.
Note 5:
The operational input voltage range for each individual input of a differentially configured pair (AIN0–AIN7) is from GND to
V
DD
. The operational input voltage difference is from -VREF/2 to +VREF/2.
Note 6:
See Figure 3 and the Sampling Error vs. Input Source Impedance graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics
section.
Note 7:
Grade A tested at +10°C and +55°C. -20°C to +85°C and -40°C to +85°C specifications guaranteed by design. Grade B
tested at +25°C. T

specification guaranteed by design.
Note 8:
External temperature measurement mode using an MMBT3904 (Diodes Inc.) as a sensor. External temperature sensing
from -40°C to +85°C; MAX1253/MAX1254 held at +25°C.
Note 9:
Performing eight single-ended external channels’ temperature measurements, an internal temperature measurement, and
an internal V
DD
measurement with no sample wait results in a conversion rate of 2ksps per channel.
Note 10:
Performing eight single-ended voltage measurements, an internal temperature measurement, and an internal V
DD
measure-
ment with no sample wait results in a conversion rate of 7ksps per channel.
Note 11:
Performing eight single-ended voltage measurements, an internal temperature measurement, and an internal V
DD
measure-
ment with maximum sample wait results in a conversion rate of 3ksps per channel.
Note 12:
Defined as the shift in the code boundary as a result of supply voltage change. V

= min to max; full-scale input, mea-
sured using external reference.
