GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MAX1294/MAX1296 low-power, 12-bit analog-todigital converters (ADCs) feature a successive-approximation ADC, automatic power-down, fast wake-up (2µs), an on-chip clock, +2.5V internal reference, and a high-speed 12-bit parallel interface. They operate with a single +5V analog supply. Power consumption is only 10mW at the maximum sampling rate of 420ksps. Two software-selectable powerdown modes enable the MAX1294/MAX1296 to be shut down between conversions; accessing the parallel interface returns them to normal operation. Powering down between conversions can reduce supply below 10µA at lower sampling rates. Both devices offer software-configurable analog inputs for unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differential operation. In single-ended mode, Excellent dynamic performance and low power, combined with ease of use and small package size, make these converters ideal for battery-powered and dataacquisition applications or for other circuits with demanding power-consumption and space requirements.
