DESCRIPTION
A serial strobe output allows direct connection to TMS320-family digital signal processors. The MAX1245 works with an external reference, and uses either the internal clock or an external serial-interface clock to perform successive-approximation analog-to-digital conversions. This device provides a hard-wired SHDN pin and a software-selectable power-down, and can be programmed to automatically shut down at the end of a conversion. Accessing the serial interface powers up the MAX1245, and the quick turn-on time allows it to be shut down between conversions. This technique can cut supply current to under 10µA at reduced sampling rates. The MAX1245 is available in a 20-pin DIP package and an SSOP that occupies 30% less area than an 8-pin DIP. For supply voltages from +2.7V to +5.25V, use the pincompatible MAX147. ____________________________Features o Single +2.375V to +3.3V Operation o 8-Channel Single-Ended or 4-Channel Differential Analog Inputs o Low Power: 0.8mA (100ksps...
