_______________General Description
The MAX132 is a CMOS, 18-bit plus sign, serial-output,
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Multi-slope integra-
tion provides high-resolution conversions in less time
than standard integrating ADCs, allowing operation up
to 100 conversions per second. Low conversion noise
provides guaranteed operation with ±512mV full-scale
input range (2µV/LSB). A simple 4-wire serial interface
connects easily to all common microprocessors, and
twos-complement output coding simplifies bipolar mea-
surements. Typical supply current is only 60µA and is
reduced to 1µA in sleep mode. Four serially pro-
grammed digital outputs can be used to control an
external multiplexer or programmable-gain amplifier.
The MAX132 comes in 24-pin narrow DIP and wide SO
packages, and is available in commercial and extend-
ed temperature grades.
High resolution, compact size, and low power make this
device ideal for data loggers, weigh scales, data-acqui-
sition systems, and panel meters.

FUNCTION
CHIP SELECT Input has 3 functions: 1) When low, selects IC for communication; 2) on rising edge, loads
input shift register data into one of the command registers; 3) on falling edge, loads data from one of the
output registers into the output shift register. When CS is high, DOUT is high impedance.
Serial Data In, D7 first bit in. Data is clocked into the register on the rising edge of SCLK.
Serial Data Out, D7 first bit out. Data is clocked out at the falling edge of SCLK. High impedance when CSis high.
Serial Clock Input. On SCLK’s rising edge, data is shifted into the internal shift register through DIN. On
SCLK’s falling edge, data is clocked out of DOUT.
Oscillator Output 2 is normally connected to a 32,768Hz crystal. Do not connect with external clock source.
Oscillator Input 1 is normally connected to a 32,768Hz crystal, or may be connected to an external clock.
User-programmable output bit 0—programmed through the serial port.
User-programmable output bit 1—programmed through the serial port.
