Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX1178/MAX1188 use a successive-approxima-
tion (SAR) conversion technique with an inherent track-
and-hold (T/H) stage to convert an analog input into a
16-bit digital output. Parallel outputs provide a high-
speed interface to microprocessors (µPs). The Func-
tional Diagram shows a simplified internal architecture of
the MAX1178/MAX1188. Figure 3 shows a typical oper-
ating circuit for the MAX1178/MAX1188.
Analog Input
Input Scaler
The MAX1178/MAX1188 have an input scaler, which
allows conversion of true bipolar input voltages and
input voltages greater than the power supply, while
operating from a single +5V analog supply. The input
scaler attenuates and shifts the analog input to match
the input range of the internal digital-to-analog converter
(DAC). The MAX1178 input voltage range is ±5V, while
the MAX1188 input voltage range is ±10V. Figure 4
shows the equivalent input circuit of the MAX1178/
MAX1188. This circuit limits the current going into or
out of AIN to less than 1.8mA.
Track and Hold (T/H)
In track mode, the internal hold capacitor acquires the
analog signal (Figure 4). In hold mode, the T/H switch-
es open and the capacitive DAC samples the analog
input. During the acquisition, the analog input (AIN)
charges capacitor C_HOLD. The acquisition ends on the
second falling edge of CS. At this instant, the T/H
switches open. The retained charge on C_HOLD repre-
sents a sample of the input. In hold mode, the capaci-
tive DAC adjusts during the remainder of the conversion
time to restore node T/H OUT to zero within the limits of
16-bit resolution. Force CS low to put valid data on the
bus after conversion is complete.
