The MAX1280/MAX1281 analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs) use a successive-approximation conversion tech-
nique and input track/hold (T/H) circuitry to convert an
analog signal to a 12-bit digital output. A flexible serial
interface provides easy interface to microprocessors
(µPs). Figure 3 shows a functional diagram of the
MAX1280/MAX1281.
The equivalent input circuit of Figure 4 shows the
MAX1280/MAX1281’s input architecture, which is com-
posed of a T/H, input multiplexer, input comparator,
switched-capacitor DAC, and reference.
In single-ended mode, the positive input (IN+) is con-
nected to the selected input channel and the negative
input (IN-) is set to COM. In differential mode, IN+ and
IN- are selected from the following pairs: CH0/CH1,
CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, and CH6/CH7. Configure the
channels according to Tables 2 and 3.
The MAX1280/MAX1281 input configuration is pseudo-
differential in that only the signal at IN+ is sampled. The
return side (IN-) is connected to the sampling capacitor
while converting and must remain stable within ±0.5LSB
(±0.1LSB for best results) with respect to GND during a
conversion.
If a varying signal is applied to the selected IN-, its ampli-
tude and frequency must be limited to maintain accuracy.
The following equations determine the relationship
between the maximum signal amplitude and its frequency

in order to maintain ±0.5LSB accuracy. Assuming a sinu-
soidal signal at IN-, the input voltage is determined by:
The maximum voltage variation is determined by:
A 650mVp-p 60Hz signal at IN- will generate ±0.5LSB
of error when using a +2.5V reference voltage and a
2.5µs conversion time (15/f
voltage is used at IN-, connect a 0.1µF capacitor to
GND to minimize noise at the input.
During the acquisition interval, the channel selected as
the positive input (IN+) charges capacitor C
acquisition interval spans three SCLK cycles and ends
on the falling SCLK edge after the last bit of the input
control word has been entered. At the end of the acqui-
sition interval, the T/H switch opens, retaining charge
on C
sion interval begins with the input multiplexer switching
C
the comparator’s input. The capacitive DAC adjusts
during the remainder of the conversion cycle to restore
node ZERO to V
resolution. This action is equivalent to transferring a
12pF x (V
weighted capacitive DAC, which in turn forms a digital
representation of the analog input signal.
