The ADCs’ input tracking circuitry has a 2.25MHz small-
signal bandwidth, so it is possible to digitize high-
speed transient events and measure periodic signals
with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by
using undersampling techniques. To avoid aliasing of
unwanted high-frequency signals into the frequency
band of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.
Internal protection diodes, which clamp the analog
input to V
GND - 0.3V to V
for accurate conversions near full scale, the input must
not exceed V
GND by 50mV.
If the analog input exceeds 50mV beyond the sup-
plies, limit the input current to 2mA.
The MAX1240 has an on-chip voltage reference
trimmed to 2.5V. The internal reference output is con-
nected to REF and also drives the internal capacitive
DAC. The output can be used as a reference voltage
source for other components and can source up to
400µA. Bypass REF with a 4.7µF capacitor. Larger
capacitors increase wake-up time when exiting shut-
down (see the section Using SHDN to Reduce Supply
Current). The internal reference is enabled by pulling the
SHDN pin high. Letting SHDN open disables the internal
reference, which allows the use of an external reference,
as described in the External Reference section.

The MAX1240/MAX1241 operate with an external refer-
ence at the REF pin. To use the MAX1240 with an
external reference, disable the internal reference by let-
ting SHDN open. Stay within the +1.0V to V
range to achieve specified accuracy. The minimum
input impedance is 18kΩ for DC currents. During con-
version, the external reference must be able to deliver
up to 250µA of DC load current and have an output
impedance of 10Ω or less. The recommended mini-
mum value for the bypass capacitor is 0.1µF. If the ref-
erence has higher output impedance or is noisy,
bypass it close to the REF pin with a 4.7µF capacitor.
When power is first applied, and if SHDN is not pulled
low, it takes the fully discharged 4.7µF reference
bypass capacitor up to 20ms to provide adequate
charge for specified accuracy. With an external refer-
ence, the internal reset time is 10µs after the power
supplies have stabilized. No conversions should be
performed during these times.
To start a conversion, pull CS low. At CS’s falling edge,
the T/H enters its hold mode and a conversion is initiat-
ed. After an internally timed conversion period, the end
of conversion is signaled by DOUT pulling high. Data
can then be shifted out serially with the external clock.
