12-Bit, Multichannel ADCs/DACs with FIFO,
Temperature Sensing, and GPIO Ports
026/MAX1348
General Description
Features
♦ 12-Bit, 225ksps ADC
The MAX1340/MAX1342/MAX1346/MAX1348 integrate a
multichannel, 12-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
and a quad, 12-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 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
voltage from +4.75V 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
MAX1342/MAX1348 offer four GPIOs that can be config-
ured as inputs or outputs.
