GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MP3275 is a complete 16-channel, 12-bit Data Acquisi-
tion Subsystem with serial data port. Implemented using an ad-
vanced BiCMOS process, the converter combines a 16-channel
passive overvoltage-protected multiplexer instrumentation
amp, a sample & hold, a SAR, a 12-bit decoded D/A, a compa-
rator, a precision reference and the control logic to achieve an
accurate 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. The circuit design can allow
for an overvoltage condition on unselected channels without dis-
rupting the measured channel or operation of the MP3275! The
internal 4 V reference has sufficient output current to provide
other system reference needs. Precision thin film scaling and
offset resistors are laser trimmed to provide for less than 2 LSB
INL for +10 V inputs on all channels.
In addition, the MP3275 will output either full scale (0111 ....)
for overrange and – full scale (1000....) for underrange condi-
tions. This greatly simplifies microprocessor software develop-
ment.
