MAX11129–MAX11132
3Msps, Low-Power, Serial 12-/10-Bit,
8-/16-Channel ADCs
into ADC memory, the pattern may be repeated indefi-
nitely or changed at any time.
For example, the maximum throughput of MAX11129–
MAX11132 is 3Msps. Traditional ADC scan modes allow
up to 16-channel conversions in ascending order. In this
case, the effective throughput per channel is 3Msps/16
channel or 187.5ksps. The maximum input frequency
that the ADC can resolve (Nyquist Theorem) is 93.75kHz.
If all 16 channels must be measured, with some chan-
nels having greater than 93.75kHz input frequency, the
user must revert back to manual mode requiring con-
stant communication on the serial interface. SampleSet
technology solves this problem. Figure 9 provides a
SampleSet use-model example.
