MAX1204
5V, 8-Channel, Serial, 10-Bit ADC
with 3V Digital Interface
_______________General Description
The MAX1204 is a 10-bit data-acquisition system
specifically designed for use in applications with mixed
+5V (analog) and +3V (digital) supply voltages. It oper-
ates with a single +5V analog supply or dual ±5V ana-
log supplies, and combines an 8-channel multiplexer,
internal track/hold, and serial interface with high con-
version speed and low power consumption.
A 4-wire serial interface connects directly to
SPI/MICROWIRE
®
devices without external logic, and a
serial strobe output allows direct connection to
TMS320-family digital signal processors. The MAX1204
uses either the internal clock or an external serial-inter-
face clock to perform successive-approximation ana-
log-to-digital conversions. The serial interface operates
at up to 2MHz.
The MAX1204 features an internal 4.096V reference and
a reference-buffer amplifier that simplifies gain trim. It
also has a V
L
pin that supplies power to the digital out-
puts. Output logic levels (3V, 3.3V, or 5V) are determined
by the value of the voltage applied to this pin.
A hard-wired
SHDN
pin and two software-selectable
power-down modes are provided. Accessing the serial
interface automatically powers up the device. A quick
turn-on time allows the MAX1204 to be shut down
between conversions, enabling the user to optimize
supply currents. By customizing power-down between
conversions, supply current can drop below 10µA at
reduced sampling rates.
The MAX1204 is available in 20-pin SSOP and PDIP
packages, and is specified for the commercial and
extended temperature ranges.

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.
