The MAX125/MAX126 are high-speed, multichannel,
14-bit data-acquisition systems (DAS) with simultane-
ous track/holds (T/Hs). These devices contain a 14-bit,
3µs, successive-approximation analog-to-digital con-
verter (ADC), a +2.5V reference, a buffered reference
input, and a bank of four simultaneous-sampling T/H
amplifiers that preserve the relative phase information
of the sampled inputs. The MAX125/MAX126 have two
multiplexed inputs for each T/H, allowing a total of eight
inputs. In addition, the converter is overvoltage tolerant
to ±17V; a fault condition on any channel will not harm
the IC. Available input ranges are ±5V (MAX125) and
±2.5V (MAX126).
♦ Four Simultaneous-Sampling T/H Amplifiers with
Two Multiplexed Inputs (eight single-ended inputs
total)
♦ 3µs Conversion Time per Channel
♦ Throughput: 250ksps (1 channel)
142ksps (2 channels)
100ksps (3 channels)
76ksps (4 channels)
♦ Input Range: ±5V (MAX125)
±2.5V (MAX126)
♦ Fault-Protected Input Multiplexer (±17V)
♦ ±5V Supplies
An on-board sequencer converts one to four channels
per CONVST pulse. In the default mode, one T/H output
(CH1A) is converted. An interrupt signal (INT) is pro-
vided after the last conversion is complete. Convert
two, three, or four channels by reprogramming the
MAX125/MAX126 throug h the b id ire c tiona l p a ra lle l
interface. Once programmed, the MAX125/MAX126
continue to convert the specified number of channels
per CONVST pulse until they are reprogrammed. The
channels are converted sequentially, beginning with
CH1. The INT signal always follows the end of the last
conversion in a conversion sequence. The ADC con-
verts each assigned channel in 3µs and stores the
result in an internal 14x4 RAM. Upon completion of the
conversions, data can be accessed by applying suc-
cessive pulses to the RD pin. Four successive reads
access four data words sequentially.

The parallel interface’s data-access and bus-release
timing specifications are compatible with most popular
digital signal processors and 16-bit/32-bit microproces-
sors, so the MAX125/MAX126 conversion results can
be accessed without resorting to wait states.
