General Description
The MAX1270/MAX1271 are multirange, 12-bit data-
acquisition systems (DAS) that require only a single
+5V supply for operation, yet accept signals at their
analog inputs that can span above the power-supply
rail and below ground. These systems provide eight
analog input channels that are independently software
programmable for a variety of ranges: ±10V, ±5V, 0 to
+10V, 0 to +5V for the MAX1270; ±VREF, ±VREF/2, 0 to
VREF, 0 to VREF/2 for the MAX1271. This range switch-
ing increases the effective dynamic range to 14 bits and
provides the flexibility to interface 4–20mA, ±12V, and
±15V powered sensors directly to a single +5V system.
In addition, these converters are fault protected to
±16.5V; a fault condition on any channel will not affect
the conversion result of the selected channel. Other fea-
tures include a 5MHz bandwidth track/hold, software-
selectable internal/external clock, 110ksps throughput
rate, and internal 4.096V or external reference operation.
The MAX1270/MAX1271 serial interface directly
connects to SPI™/QSPI™ and MICROWIRE™ devices
without external logic.
A hardware shutdown input (SHDN) and two software-
programmable power-down modes, standby (STBYPD)
or full power-down (FULLPD), are provided for low-cur-
rent shutdown between conversions. In standby mode,
the reference buffer remains active, eliminating startup
delays.
The MAX1270/MAX1271 are available in 24-pin narrow
PDIP or space-saving 28-pin SSOP packages.
