12-Bit, Multichannel ADCs/DACs with FIFO,
Temperature Sensing, and GPIO Ports
2/MAX143
General Description
Features
♦ 12-Bit, 225ksps ADC
The MAX1221/MAX1223/MAX1343 integrate a multichan-
nel, 12-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a 12-bit,
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in a single IC. The
devices also include a temperature sensor and config-
urable general-purpose I/O ports (GPIOs) with a 25MHz
SPI™-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE™-compatible serial inter-
face. The ADC is available in a 12 or an eight input-chan-
nel version. The DAC outputs settle within 2.0µs, and the
ADC has a 225ksps conversion rate.

Track/Hold (T/H)
12 Single-Ended Channels or Six Differential
Channels (Unipolar or Bipolar) (MAX1223)
Eight Single-Ended Channels or Four Differential
Channels (Unipolar or Bipolar)
(MAX1221/MAX1343)
Excellent Accuracy: ±±05 ꢀSB ꢁIꢀ, ±±05 ꢀSB DIꢀ
♦ 12-Bit, Octal, 2µs Settling DAC
(MAX1221/MAX1223)
All devices include an internal reference (2.5V) 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 exter-
nal 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 processor
requirements. The low glitch energy (4nV•s) and low digi-
tal feedthrough (0.5nV•s) of the integrated 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 +2.7V to +5.25V. The devices consume 2.5mA
at 225ksps throughput, only 22µA at 1ksps throughput,
and under 0.2µA in the shutdown mode. The MAX1221/
MAX1343 offer four GPIOs that can be configured as
inputs or outputs.
