12-Bit, Multichannel ADCs/DACs with FIFO,
Temperature Sensing, and GPIO Ports
General Description
Features
♦ 12-Bit, 300ksps ADC
The MAX1340–MAX1343/MAX1346–MAX1349 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 300ksps conversion rate.
Analog Multiplexer with True-Differential
Track/Hold (T/H)
8 Single-Ended Channels or 4 Differential
Channels (Unipolar or Bipolar)
4 Single-Ended Channels or 2 Differential
Channels (Unipolar or Bipolar)
Excellent Accuracy: ±0.5 LSB INL, ±0.5 LSB DNL
♦ 12-Bit, Quad, 2µs Settling DAC
Ultra-Low Glitch Energy (4nV•s)
All devices include an internal reference (2.5V or 4.096V)
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 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.

+2.7V to +3.6V or +4.75V to +5.25V
The devices are guaranteed to operate with a supply volt-
age from +2.7V to +3.6V (MAX1341/MAX1343/MAX1347/
MAX1349) and from +4.5V to +5.5V (MAX1340/MAX1342/
MAX1346/MAX1348). The devices consume 2.5mA at
300ksps throughput, only 22µA at 1ksps throughput, and
under 0.2µA in the shutdown mode. The MAX1342/
MAX1343/MAX1348/MAX1349 offer four GPIOs that can
be configured as inputs or outputs.
♦ 25MHz, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE Serial Interface
♦ AutoShutdown Between Conversions
♦ Low-Power ADC
2.5mA at 300ksps
22µA at 1ksps
0.2µA at Shutdown
♦ Low-Power DAC: 1.5µA
♦ Evaluation Kit Available (Order MAX1258EVKIT)
The MAX1340–MAX1343/MAX1346–MAX1349 are avail-
able in 36-pin thin QFN packages. All devices are speci-
fied over the -40ꢀC to +85ꢀC temperature range.
