♦ 10-Bit, 300ksps ADC
The MAX1040–MAX1043/MAX1046–MAX1049 integrate a
multichannel, 10-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
and a quad, 10-bit, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in a
single IC. The devices also include a temperature sensor
and configurable general-purpose I/O ports (GPIOs) with
a 25MHz SPI™-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE™-compatible seri-
al interface. The ADC is available in a 4 or an 8 input-
channel version. The four DAC outputs settle within 2.0µs,
and the ADC has a 300ksps conversion rate.

Excellent Accuracy: ±0.5 LSB INL, ±0.5 LSB
DNL, No Missing Codes Over Temperature
♦ 10-Bit, Quad, 2µs Settling DAC
Ultra-Low-Glitch Energy (4nV•s)
All devices include an internal reference (2.5V or 4.096V)
providing a well-regulated, low-noise reference for both
the ADC and DAC. Programmable reference modes for
the ADC and DAC allow the use of an internal reference,
an external reference, or a combination of both. Features
such as an internal ±1°C accurate temperature sensor,
FIFO, scan modes, programmable internal or external
clock modes, data averaging, and AutoShutdown™ allow
users to minimize both power consumption and proces-
sor requirements. The low glitch energy (4nV•s) and low
digital feedthrough (0.5nV• s) of the integrated quad
DACs make these devices ideal for digital control of fast-
response closed-loop systems.

♦ Low-Power DAC: 1.5µA
The devices are guaranteed to operate with a supply volt-
age from +2.7V to +3.6V (MAX1041/MAX1043/MAX1047/
MAX1049) a nd from +4.75V to +5.25V (MAX1040/
MAX1042/MAX1046/MAX1048). These devices consume
2.5mA a t 300ks p s throug hp ut, only 22µA a t 1ks p s
throughput, and under 0.2µA in the shutdown mode. The
MAX1042/MAX1043/MAX1048/MAX1049 offer four GPIOs
that can be configured as inputs or outputs.
♦ Evaluation Kit Available (Order MAX1258EVKIT)
The MAX1040–MAX1043/MAX1046–MAX1049 are avail-
able in 36-pin thin QFN packages. All devices are speci-
fied over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
