The MAX1245 12-bit data-acquisition system combines
an 8-channel multiplexer, high-bandwidth track/hold, and
serial interface with high conversion speed and ultra-low
power consumption. It operates from a single +2.375V to
+3.3V supply, and its analog inputs are software config-
urable for unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/differential
operation.
♦ Single +2.375V to +3.3V Operation
♦ 8-Channel Single-Ended or 4-Channel
Differential Analog Inputs
♦ Low Power: 0.8mA (100ksps)
10µA (1ksps)
1µA (power-down mode)
The 4-wire serial interface directly connects to SPI™,
QSPI™, and Microwire™ devices without external logic.
A s e ria l s trob e outp ut a llows d ire c t c onne c tion to
TMS320-family digital signal processors. The MAX1245
works with an external reference, and uses either the
internal clock or an external serial-interface clock to
perform successive-approximation analog-to-digital
conversions.
♦ Internal Track/Hold, 100kHz Sampling Rate
♦ SPI/QSPI/Microwire/TMS320-Compatible
4-Wire Serial Interface
♦ Software-Configurable Unipolar or Bipolar Inputs
♦ 20-Pin DIP/SSOP Packages
________________Ord e rin g In fo rm a t io n
This device provides a hard-wired SHDN pin and a
s oftwa re -s e le c ta b le p owe r-d own, a nd c a n b e p ro-
grammed to automatically shut down at the end of a
conversion. Accessing the serial interface powers up
the MAX1245, and the quick turn-on time allows it to be
shut down between conversions. This technique can
cut supply current to under 10µA at reduced sampling
rates.

The MAX1245 is available in a 20-pin DIP package and
an SSOP that occupies 30% less area than an 8-pin DIP.
For supply voltages from +2.7V to +5.25V, use the pin-
compatible MAX147.
