General Description
The MAX1040–MAX1043/MAX1046–MAX1049 integrate a
multichannel, 10-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
and a quad, 10-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 serial interface. The ADC is available in a 4 or an 8 inputchannel version. The four DAC outputs settle within 2.0µs,
and the ADC has a 300ksps conversion rate.
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 ±1°C 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
digital feedthrough (0.5nV•s) of the integrated quad
DACs make these devices ideal for digital control of fastresponse closed-loop systems.
The devices are guaranteed to operate with a supply voltage from +2.7V to +3.6V (MAX1041/MAX1043/MAX1047/
MAX1049) and from +4.75V to +5.25V (MAX1040/
MAX1042/MAX1046/MAX1048). These devices consume
2.5mA at 300ksps throughput, only 22µA at 1ksps
throughput, and under 0.2µA in the shutdown mode. The
MAX1042/MAX1043/MAX1048/MAX1049 offer four GPIOs
that can be configured as inputs or outputs.
The MAX1040–MAX1043/MAX1046–MAX1049 are available in 36-pin thin QFN packages. All devices are specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
