General Description
____________________________Features
The MAX146/MAX147 12-bit data-acquisition systems
combine an 8-channel multiplexer, high-bandwidth
track/hold, and serial interface with high conversion
speed and low power consumption. The MAX146 oper-
ates from a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply; the MAX147
operates from a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply. Both
devices’ analog inputs are software configurable for
unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/differential operation.
ꢀ 8-Channel Single-Ended or 4-Channel
Differential Inputs
ꢀ Single-Supply Operation
+2.7V to +3.6V (MAX146)
+2.7V to +5.25V (MAX147)
ꢀ Internal 2.5V Reference (MAX146)
ꢀ Low Power
The 4-wire serial interface connects directly to SPI™/
QSPI™ and MICROWIRE™ devices without external
logic. A serial strobe output allows direct connection to
TMS320-family digital signal processors. The
MAX146/MAX147 use either the internal clock or an exter-
nal serial-interface clock to perform successive-approxi-
mation analog-to-digital conversions.

ꢀ SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/TMS320-Compatible
4-Wire Serial Interface
ꢀ Software-Configurable Unipolar or Bipolar Inputs
The MAX146 has an internal 2.5V reference, while the
MAX147 requires an external reference. Both parts have
a reference-buffer amplifier with a 1.5ꢀ voltage-
adjustment range.

These devices provide 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 con-
version. Accessing the serial interface automatically
powers up the MAX146/MAX147, and the quick turn-on
time allows them to be shut down between all conver-
sions. This technique can cut supply current to under
60µA at reduced sampling rates.

Note 1: Tested at V = 2.7V; COM = 0; unipolar single-ended input mode.
DD
Note 2: Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the full-scale range has
been calibrated.
Note 3: MAX146—internal reference, offset nulled; MAX147—external reference (VREF = +2.5V), offset nulled.
Note 4: Ground “on” channel; sine wave applied to all “off” channels.
Note 5: Conversion time defined as the number of clock cycles multiplied by the clock period; clock has 50ꢀ duty cycle.
Note 6: The common-mode range for the analog inputs is from AGND to V
.
DD
Note 7: External load should not change during conversion for specified accuracy.
Note 8: ADC performance is limited by the converter’s noise floor, typically 300µVp-p.
Note 9: Guaranteed by design. Not subject to production testing.
Note 10: Measured as V (2.7V) - V (V
) .

sition interval, the T/H switch opens, retaining charge
The MAX146/MAX147 analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs) use a successive-approximation conversion
technique and input track/hold (T/H) circuitry to convert
an analog signal to a 12-bit digital output. A flexible ser-
ial interface provides easy interface to microprocessors
(µPs). Figure 3 is a block diagram of the MAX146/
MAX147.

HOLD
The conversion interval begins with the input multiplex-
er switching C from the positive input (IN+) to the
HOLD
negative input (IN-). In single-ended mode, IN- is sim-
ply COM. This unbalances node ZERO at the compara-
tor’s input. The capacitive DAC adjusts during the
remainder of the conversion cycle to restore node
ZERO to 0V within the limits of 12-bit resolution. This
action is equivalent to transferring a 16pF x [(VIN+) -
Pseudo-Differential Input
The sampling architecture of the ADC’s analog com-
parator is illustrated in the equivalent input circuit
(Figure 4). In single-ended mode, IN+ is internally
switched to CH0–CH7, and IN- is switched to COM. In
differential mode, IN+ and IN- are selected from the fol-
lowing pairs: CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, and
CH6/CH7. Configure the channels with Tables 2 and 3.

capacitive DAC, which in turn forms a digital represen-
tation of the analog input signal.
Track/Hold
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
samples the “+” input. If the converter is set up for dif-
ferential inputs, IN- connects to the “-” input, and the
difference of |IN+ - IN-| is sampled. At the end of the
conversion, the positive input connects back to IN+,
In differential mode, IN- and IN+ are internally switched
to either of the analog inputs. This configuration is
pseudo-differential to the effect that only the signal at
IN+ is sampled. The return side (IN-) must remain sta-
ble within 0.5LSB ( 0.1LSB for best results) with
respect to AGND during a conversion. To accomplish
this, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from IN- (the selected
analog input) to AGND.

Quick Look
To quickly evaluate the MAX146/MAX147’s analog per-
formance, use the circuit of Figure 5. The MAX146/
MAX147 require a control byte to be written to DIN
before each conversion. Tying DIN to +3V feeds in con-
trol bytes of $FF (HEX), which trigger single-ended
unipolar conversions on CH7 in external clock mode
without powering down between conversions. In exter-
nal clock mode, the SSTRB output pulses high for one
clock period before the most significant bit of the 12-bit
conversion result is shifted out of DOUT. Varying the
analog input to CH7 will alter the sequence of bits from
DOUT. A total of 15 clock cycles is required per con-
version. All transitions of the SSTRB and DOUT outputs
occur on the falling edge of SCLK.
input signal, and t
is never less than 1.5µs. Note
that source impedances below 1kΩ do not significantly
affect the ADC’s AC performance.
Higher source impedances can be used if a 0.01µF
capacitor is connected to the individual analog inputs.
Note that the input capacitor forms an RC filter with the
input source impedance, limiting the ADC’s signal
bandwidth.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input tracking circuitry has a 2.25MHz
small-signal bandwidth, so it is possible to digitize
high-speed transient events and measure periodic sig-
nals with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling
rate by using undersampling techniques. To avoid
high-frequency signals being aliased into the frequency
band of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.

How to Start a Conversion
Start a conversion by clocking a control byte into DIN.
With CS low, each rising edge on SCLK clocks a bit from
DIN into the MAX146/MAX147’s internal shift register.
After CS falls, the first arriving logic “1” bit defines the
control byte’s MSB. Until this first “start” bit arrives, any
number of logic “0” bits can be clocked into DIN with no
effect. Table 1 shows the control-byte format.
neously, receive byte RB2.
5) Transmit a byte of all zeros ($00 hex) and, simulta-
neously, receive byte RB3.
6) Pull CS high.
Figure 6 shows the timing for this sequence. Bytes RB2
and RB3 contain the result of the conversion, padded
with one leading zero and three trailing zeros. The total
conversion time is a function of the serial-clock fre-
quency and the amount of idle time between 8-bit
transfers. To avoid excessive T/H droop, make sure the
total conversion time does not exceed 120µs.
The MAX146/MAX147 are compatible with SPI™/
QSPI™ and Microwire™ devices. For SPI, select the
correct clock polarity and sampling edge in the SPI
control registers: set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0. Micro-
wire, SPI, and QSPI all transmit a byte and receive a
byte at the same time. Using the Typical Operating
Circuit, the simplest software interface requires only
three 8-bit transfers to perform a conversion (one 8-bit
transfer to configure the ADC, and two more 8-bit trans-
fers to clock out the 12-bit conversion result). See Figure
20 for MAX146/MAX147 QSPI connections.
Digital Output
In unipolar input mode, the output is straight binary
(Figure 17). For bipolar input mode, the output is two’s
complement (Figure 18). Data is clocked out at the
falling edge of SCLK in MSB-first format.
Clock Modes
The MAX146/MAX147 may use either an external
serial clock or the internal clock to perform the succes-
sive-approximation conversion. In both clock modes,
the external clock shifts data in and out of the
MAX146/MAX147. The T/H acquires the input signal as
the last three bits of the control byte are clocked into
DIN. Bits PD1 and PD0 of the control byte program the
clock mode. Figures 7–10 show the timing characteris-
tics common to both modes.
Simple Software Interface
Make sure the CPU’s serial interface runs in master
mode so the CPU generates the serial clock. Choose a
clock frequency from 100kHz to 2MHz.
1) Set up the control byte for external clock mode and
call it TB1. TB1 should be of the format: 1XXXXX11
binary, where the Xs denote the particular channel
and conversion mode selected.
2) Use a general-purpose I/O line on the CPU to pull
CS low.
3) Transmit TB1 and, simultaneously, receive a byte
and call it RB1. Ignore RB1.

External Clock
The conversion must complete in some minimum time,
or droop on the sample-and-hold capacitors may
degrade conversion results. Use internal clock mode if
the serial clock frequency is less than 100kHz, or if
serial clock interruptions could cause the conversion
interval to exceed 120µs.
In external clock mode, the external clock not only shifts
data in and out, but it also drives the analog-to-digital
conversion steps. SSTRB pulses high for one clock
period after the last bit of the control byte. Succes-
sive-approximation bit decisions are made and appear
at DOUT on each of the next 12 SCLK falling edges
(Figure 6). SSTRB and DOUT go into a high-impedance
state when CS goes high; after the next CS falling edge,
SSTRB outputs a logic low. Figure 8 shows the SSTRB
timing in external clock mode.
Internal Clock
In internal clock mode, the MAX146/MAX147 generate
their own conversion clocks internally. This frees the µP
from the burden of running the SAR conversion clock
and allows the conversion results to be read back at the

to 2MHz. SSTRB goes low at the start of the conversion
and then goes high when the conversion is complete.
SSTRB is low for a maximum of 7.5µs (SHDN = FLOAT),
during which time SCLK should remain low for best
noise performance.
not need to be held low once a conversion is started.
Pulling CS high prevents data from being clocked into
the MAX146/MAX147 and three-states DOUT, but it
does not adversely affect an internal clock mode
conversion already in progress. When internal clock
mode is selected, SSTRB does not go into a high-
impedance state when CS goes high.
An internal register stores data when the conversion is
in progress. SCLK clocks the data out of this register at
any time after the conversion is complete. After SSTRB
goes high, the next falling clock edge produces the
MSB of the conversion at DOUT, followed by the
remaining bits in MSB-first format (Figure 9). CS does

The falling edge of CS does not start a conversion.
The first logic high clocked into DIN is interpreted as a
start bit and defines the first bit of the control byte. A
conversion starts on SCLK’s falling edge, after the eighth
bit of the control byte (the PD0 bit) is clocked into DIN.
The start bit is defined as follows:
guarantee a start bit by first clocking in 16 zeros.
Most microcontrollers (µCs) require that conversions
occur in multiples of 8 SCLK clocks; 16 clocks per con-
version is typically the fastest that a µC can drive the
MAX146/MAX147. Figure 11b shows the serial-
interface timing necessary to perform a conversion every
16 SCLK cycles in external clock mode.

Power-On Reset
When power is first applied, and if SHDN is not pulled
low, internal power-on reset circuitry activates the
MAX146/MAX147 in internal clock mode, ready to con-
vert with SSTRB = high. After the power supplies stabi-
lize, the internal reset time is 10µs, and no conversions
should be performed during this phase. SSTRB is high
on power-up and, if CS is low, the first logical 1 on DIN
is interpreted as a start bit. Until a conversion takes
place, DOUT shifts out zeros. (Also see Table 4.)
The first high bit clocked into DIN after bit 5 of a con-
version in progress is clocked onto the DOUT pin.
If CS is toggled before the current conversion is com-
plete, the next high bit clocked into DIN is recognized as
a start bit; the current conversion is terminated, and a
new one is started.
The fastest the MAX146/MAX147 can run with CS held
low between conversions is 15 clocks per conversion.

except the bandgap reference. With fast power-down
mode, the supply current is 30µA. Power-up time can be
shortened to 5µs in internal compensation mode.
Reference-Buffer Compensation
In addition to its shutdown function, SHDN selects inter-
nal or external compensation. The compensation
affects both power-up time and maximum conversion
speed. The100kHz minimum clock rate is limited by
droop on the sample-and-hold and is independent of
the compensation used.
Table 4 shows how the choice of reference-buffer com-
pensation and power-down mode affects both power-up
delay and maximum sample rate. In external compensa-
tion mode, power-up time is 20ms with a 4.7µF compen-
sation capacitor when the capacitor is initially fully
discharged. From fast power-down, start-up time can be
eliminated by using low-leakage capacitors that do not
discharge more than 1/2LSB while shut down. In power-
down, leakage currents at VREF cause droop on the ref-
erence bypass capacitor. Figures 12a and 12b show
the various power-down sequences in both external and
internal clock modes.
Float SHDN to select external compensation. The
Typical Operating Circuit uses a 4.7µF capacitor at
VREF. A 4.7µF value ensures reference-buffer stability
and allows converter operation at the 2MHz full clock
speed. External compensation increases power-up
time (see the Choosing Power-Down Mode section and
Table 4).
Pull SHDN high to select internal compensation.
Internal compensation requires no external capacitor at
VREF and allows for the shortest power-up times. The
maximum clock rate is 2MHz in internal clock mode
and 400kHz in external clock mode.
Software Power-Down
Software power-down is activated using bits PD1 and PD0
of the control byte. As shown in Table 5, PD1 and PD0
also specify the clock mode. When software shutdown is
asserted, the ADC operates in the last specified clock
mode until the conversion is complete. Then the ADC
powers down into a low quiescent-current state. In internal
clock mode, the interface remains active and conversion
results may be clocked out after the MAX146/MAX147
enter a software power-down.
Choosing Power-Down Mode
You can save power by placing the converter in a low-
current shutdown state between conversions. Select full
power-down mode or fast power-down mode via bits 1
and 0 of the DIN control byte with SHDN high or floating
(Tables 1 and 5). In both software power-down modes,
the serial interface remains operational, but the ADC
does not convert. Pull SHDN low at any time to shut
down the converter completely. SHDN overrides bits 1
and 0 of the control byte.
The first logical 1 on DIN is interpreted as a start bit
and powers up the MAX146/MAX147. Following
the start bit, the data input word or control byte also
determines clock mode and power-down states. For
example, if the DIN word contains PD1 = 1, then the
chip remains powered up. If PD0 = PD1 = 0, a
power-down resumes after one conversion.
Full power-down mode turns off all chip functions that
draw quiescent current, reducing supply current to 2µA
(typ). Fast power-down mode turns off all circuitry

Hardware Power-Down
Pulling SHDN low places the converter in hardware
power-down (Table 6). Unlike software power-down
mode, the conversion is not completed; it stops coin-
cidentally with SHDN being brought low. SHDN also
controls the clock frequency in internal clock mode.
Letting SHDN float sets the internal clock frequency to
1.8MHz. When returning to normal operation with SHDN
floating, there is a t delay of approximately 2MΩ x C ,
RC L
where C is the capacitive loading on the SHDN pin.
L
Pulling SHDN high sets internal clock frequency to
225kHz. This feature eases the settling-time requirement
for the reference voltage. With an external reference, the
MAX146/MAX147 can be considered fully powered up
within 2µs of actively pulling SHDN high.

Power-Down Sequencing
The MAX146/MAX147 auto power-down modes can
save considerable power when operating at less than
maximum sample rates. Figures 13, 14a, and 14b show
the average supply current as a function of the sam-
pling rate. The following discussion illustrates the vari-
ous power-down sequences.
one or eight channel conversions utilizing full power-
down mode and internal-reference compensation. A
0.047µF bypass capacitor at REFADJ forms an RC filter
with the internal 20kΩ reference resistor with a 0.9ms
time constant. To achieve full 12-bit accuracy, 10 time
constants or 9ms are required after power-up. Waiting
this 9ms in FASTPD mode instead of in full power-up
can reduce power consumption by a factor of 10 or
more. This is achieved by using the sequence shown in
Figure 15.

The following examples show two different power-down
sequences. Other combinations of clock rates, compen-
sation modes, and power-down modes may give lowest
power consumption in other applications.

Figure 14b shows the power consumption with
external-reference compensation in fast power-down,
with one and eight channels converted. The external
4.7µF compensation requires a 200µs wait after
power-up with one dummy conversion. This graph
shows fast multi-channel conversion with the lowest
power consumption possible. Full power-down mode
may provide increased power savings in applications
where the MAX146/MAX147 are inactive for long peri-
ods of time, but where intermittent bursts of high-speed
conversions are required.

An internal buffer is designed to provide 2.5V at
VREF for both the MAX146 and the MAX147. The
MAX146’s internally trimmed 1.21V reference is buf-
fered with a 2.06 gain. The MAX147’s REFADJ pin is
also buffered with a 2.00 gain to scale an external 1.25V

During conversion, an external reference at VREF must

affect the high-speed comparator in the ADC. Bypass
the supply to the star ground with 0.1µF and 1µF
capacitors close to pin 20 of the MAX146/MAX147.
Minimize capacitor lead lengths for best supply-noise
rejection. If the power supply is very noisy, a 10Ω resis-
tor can be connected as a lowpass filter (Figure 19).
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use printed circuit boards.
Wire-wrap boards are not recommended. Board layout
should ensure that digital and analog signal lines are
separated from each other. Do not run analog and digi-
tal (especially clock) lines parallel to one another, or
digital lines underneath the ADC package.
High-Speed Digital Interfacing with QSPI
The MAX146/MAX147 can interface with QSPI using
the circuit in Figure 20 (f
= 2.0MHz, CPOL = 0,
SCLK
Figure 19 shows the recommended system ground
connections. Establish a single-point analog ground
(star ground point) at AGND, separate from the logic
ground. Connect all other analog grounds and DGND
to the star ground. No other digital system ground
should be connected to this ground. For lowest-noise
operation, the ground return to the star ground’s power
CPHA = 0). This QSPI circuit can be programmed to do a
conversion on each of the eight channels. The result is
stored in memory without taxing the CPU, since QSPI
incorporates its own microsequencer.
The MAX146/MAX147 are QSPI compatible up to the
maximum external clock frequency of 2MHz.

4) The MAX146/MAX147’s SSTRB output is monitored
via the TMS320’s FSR input. A falling edge on the
SSTRB output indicates that the conversion is in
progress and data is ready to be received from the
MAX146/MAX147.
TMS320LC3x Interface
Figure 21 shows an application circuit to interface the
MAX146/MAX147 to the TMS320 in external clock mode.
The timing diagram for this interface circuit is shown in
Figure 22.
5) The TMS320 reads in one data bit on each of the
next 16 rising edges of SCLK. These data bits rep-
resent the 12-bit conversion result followed by four
trailing bits, which should be ignored.
Use the following steps to initiate a conversion in the
MAX146/MAX147 and to read the results:
1) The TMS320 should be configured with CLKX
(transmit clock) as an active-high output clock and
CLKR (TMS320 receive clock) as an active-high
input clock. CLKX and CLKR on the TMS320 are
tied together with the MAX146/MAX147’s SCLK
input.
6) Pull CS high to disable the MAX146/MAX147 until
the next conversion is initiated.
2) The MAX146/MAX147’s CS pin is driven low by the
TMS320’s XF_ I/O port to enable data to be clocked
into the MAX146/MAX147’s DIN.
3) An 8-bit word (1XXXXX11) should be written to the
MAX146/MAX147 to initiate a conversion and place
the device into external clock mode. Refer to Table
1 to select the proper XXXXX bit values for your
specific application.
