+2.375V, Low-Power, 8-Channel,
Serial 12-Bit ADC
________________General Description
The MAX1245 12-bit data-acquisition system combines
an 8-channel multiplexer, high-bandwidth track/hold, and
serial interface with high conversion speed and ultra-low
power consumption. It operates from a single +2.375V to
+3.3V supply, and its analog inputs are software config-
urable for unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/differential
operation.
The 4-wire serial interface directly connects to SPI™,
QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™ devices without external
logic. A serial strobe output allows direct connection to
TMS320-family digital signal processors. The MAX1245
works with an external reference, and uses either the
internal clock or an external serial-interface clock to
perform successive-approximation analog-to-digital
conversions.
This device provides a hard-wired
SHDN
pin and a
software-selectable power-down, and can be pro-
grammed to automatically shut down at the end of a
conversion. Accessing the serial interface powers up
the MAX1245, and the quick turn-on time allows it to be
shut down between conversions. This technique can
cut supply current to under 10µA at reduced sampling
rates.
The MAX1245 is available in a 20-pin DIP package and
an SSOP that occupies 30% less area than an 8-pin DIP.
For supply voltages from +2.7V to +5.25V, use the pin-
compatible MAX147.

Tested at V
DD
= +2.375V; V
COM
= 0V; unipolar single-ended input mode.
Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the full-scale range has
been calibrated.
External reference (VREF = +2.048V), offset nulled.
Ground “on” channel; sine wave applied to all “off” channels.
Conversion time defined as the number of clock cycles multiplied by the clock period; clock has 50% duty cycle.
The common-mode range for the analog inputs is from AGND to V
DD
.
Guaranteed by design. Not subject to production testing.
ADC performance is limited by the converter’s noise floor, typically 300µVp-p.
