Multi-Range (±1ꢀ0, ±±0, +1ꢀ0, +±0),
Single +±0, 12-Bit DAS with 8+4 Bus Interface
_______________General Description
____________________________Features
ꢀ 12-Bit Resolution, 1/2LSB Linearity
ꢀ Single +5V Operation
The MAX197 multi-range, 12-bit data-acquisition sys-
tem (DAS) requires only a single +5V supply for opera-
tion, yet accepts signals at its analog inputs that may
span both above the power-supply rail and below
ground. This system provides 8 analog input channels
that are independently software programmable for a
variety of ranges: 1ꢀV, 5V, ꢀV to +1ꢀV, or ꢀV to +5V.
This increases effective dynamic range to 14 bits, and
provides the user flexibility to interface 4mA-to-2ꢀmA,
12V, and 15V powered sensors to a single +5V sys-
tem. In addition, the converter is overvoltage tolerant to
1ꢁ.5Vꢂ a fault condition on any channel does not
affect the conversion result of the selected channel.
Other features include a 5MHz bandwidth track/hold, a
1ꢀꢀksps throughput rate, software-selectable internal or
external clock and acquisition, 8+4 parallel interface,
and an internal 4.ꢀ9ꢁV or an external reference.
ꢀ Software-Selectable Input Ranges:
10V, 5V, 0V to 10V, 0V to 5V
ꢀ Fault-Protected Input Multiplexer ( 16.5V)
ꢀ 8 Analog Input Channels
ꢀ 6µs Conversion Time, 100ksps Sampling Rate
ꢀ Internal or External Acquisition Control
ꢀ Internal 4.096V or External Reference
ꢀ Two Power-Down Modes
ꢀ Internal or External Clock

A hardware SHDN pin and two programmable power-
down modes (STBYPD, FULLPD) are provided for low-
current shutdown between conversions. In STBYPD
mode, the reference buffer remains active, eliminating
start-up delays.
28 Wide SO
28 SSOP
The MAX197 employs a standard microprocessor (µP)
interface. A three-state data I/O port is configured to
operate with 8-bit data buses, and data-access and
bus-release timing specifications are compatible with
most popular µPs. All logic inputs and outputs are
TTL/CMOS compatible.
