GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MP3274 is a complete 32-channel, 12-bit Data Acquisi-
tion Subsystem with 3-state output buffers for direct interfacing
to 16-bit microprocessor buses. Implemented using an ad-
vanced BiCMOS process, the converter combines a 32-channel
passive overvoltage protected multiplexer instrumentation amp,
a sample & hold, a SAR, a 12-bit decoded D/A, a comparator, a
precision reference and the control logic to achieve an accurate,
repeated conversion in less than 15µs, and a mux/instrumenta-
tion amp settling period of less than 10µs.
A unique input design provides input overvoltage protection
to 50 V over the supply voltages. Therefore, an overvoltage
condition can exist on unselected channels without disrupting
the measured channel or operation of the MP3274! The internal
4 V reference has sufficient output current to provide other sys-
tem reference needs. Precision thin film scaling and offset resis-
tors are laser trimmed to provide for less than 2 LSB INL for +10
V inputs on all channels.
In addition, the MP3274 will output either full scale (0111 ....)
for overrange and – full scale (1000....) for underrange condi-
tions. This greatly simplifies microprocessor software develop-
ment.
