GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MAX1080/MAX1081 10-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) combine an 8-channel analog-input multiplexer, high-bandwidth track/hold (T/H), and serial interface with high conversion speed and low power consumption. The MAX1080 operates from a single +4.5V to +5.5V supply; A serial strobe output allows direct connection to TMS320-family digital signal processors. The MAX1080/ MAX1081 use an external serial-interface clock to perform successive-approximation analog-to-digital conversions. The devices feature an internal +2.5V reference and a reference-buffer amplifier with a ±1.5% voltage-adjustment range. An external reference with a 1V to VDD1 range may also be used. The MAX1080/MAX1081 provide a hard-wired SHDN pin and four software-selectable power modes (normal operation, reduced power (REDP), fast power-down (FASTPD), and full power-down (FULLPD)). These devices can be programmed to automatically shut down at the end of a conversion or to operate with reduced power.
