Description
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 external serial-interface clock to perform successive-approximation analog-to-digital conversions.
The MAX146 has an internal 2.5V reference, while the MAX147 requires an external reference. Both parts have a reference-buffer amplifier with a ±1.5% voltage-adjustment range.
These devices provide a hard-wired SHDN-bar 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 automatically powers up the MAX146/MAX147, and the quick turn-on time allows them to be shut down between all conversions. This technique can cut supply current to under 60µA at reduced sampling rates.
The MAX146/MAX147 are available in 20-pin DIP and SSOP packages.
For 4-channel versions of these devices, see the MAX1246/MAX1247 data sheet.
