The T/H enters its tracking mode on the falling clock
edge after the fifth bit of the 8-bit control word has been
shifted in. It enters its hold mode on the falling clock
edge after the eighth bit of the control word has been
shifted in. If the converter is set up for single-ended
inputs, IN- is connected to COM and the converter con-
verts the “+” input. If the converter is set up for differen-
tial inputs, the difference of [(IN+) - (IN-)] is converted.
At the end of the conversion, the positive input con-
nects back to IN+ and C
nal.
The time required for the T/H to acquire an input signal
is a function of how quickly its input capacitance is
charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high,
the acquisition time lengthens, and more time must be
allowed between conversions. The acquisition time,
t
the signal and is also the minimum time needed for the
signal to be acquired. It is calculated by the following
equation:

or 625ns (MAX1281). Note that source impedances
below 2kΩ do not significantly affect the ADC’s AC per-
formance.

The ADC’s input tracking circuitry has a 6MHz
(MAX1280) or 3MHz (MAX1281) small-signal band-
width, so it is possible to digitize high-speed transient
events and measure periodic signals with bandwidths
exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by using under-
sampling techniques. To avoid high-frequency signals
being aliased into the frequency band of interest, anti-
alias filtering is recommended.
Internal protection diodes, which clamp the analog
input to V
swing from GND - 0.3V to V
age. However, for accurate conversions near full scale,
the inputs must not exceed V
be lower than GND by 50mV.
If the analog input exceeds 50mV beyond the sup-
plies, do not allow the input current to exceed 2mA.
To quickly evaluate the MAX1280/MAX1281’s analog
performance, use the circuit of Figure 5. The MAX1280/
MAX1281 require a control byte to be written to DIN
before each conversion. Connecting DIN to V
in control bytes of $FF (HEX), which trigger single-
ended unipolar conversions on CH7 without powering
down between conversions. The SSTRB output pulses
