10-Bit, Multichannel ADCs/DACs with FIFO,
Temperature Sensing, and GPIO Ports
26/MAX1048
General Description
Features
♦ 10-Bit, 225ksps ADC
The MAX1040/MAX1042/MAX1046/MAX1048 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 four or an eight
input-channel version. The four DAC outputs settle within
2.0µs, and the ADC has a 225ksps conversion rate.

All devices include an internal reference (4.096V) provid-
ing 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 1ꢀC 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.

Data-Averaging Features
The devices are guaranteed to operate with a supply volt-
age from +4.75V to +5.25V. These devices consume
2.5mA at 225ksps throughput, only 22µA at 1ksps
throughput, and under 0.2µA in the shutdown mode. The
MAX1042/MAX1048 offer four GPIOs that can be config-
ured as inputs or outputs.

The MAX1040/MAX1042/MAX1046/MAX1048 are avail-
able in 36-pin thin QFN packages. All devices are speci-
fied over the -40ꢀC to +85ꢀC temperature range.
