General Description
The MAX125/MAX126 are high-speed, multichannel,
14-bit data-acquisition systems (DAS) with simultaneous
track/holds (T/Hs). These devices contain a 14-bit, 3µs,
successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter
(ADC), a +2.5V reference, a buffered reference input,
and a bank of four simultaneous-sampling T/H amplifiers that preserve the relative phase information of the
sampled inputs. The MAX125/MAX126 have two multiplexed inputs for each T/H, allowing a total of eight
inputs. In addition, the converter is overvoltage tolerant
to ±17V; a fault condition on any channel will not harm
the IC. Available input ranges are ±5V (MAX125) and
±2.5V (MAX126).
An on-board sequencer converts one to four channels
per CONVST pulse. In the default mode, one T/H output
(CH1A) is converted. An interrupt signal (INT) is provided
after the last conversion is complete. Convert two,
three, or four channels by reprogramming the
MAX125/MAX126 through the bidirectional parallel
interface. Once programmed, the MAX125/MAX126
continue to convert the specified number of channels
per CONVST pulse until they are reprogrammed. The
channels are converted sequentially, beginning with
CH1. The INT signal always follows the end of the last
conversion in a conversion sequence. The ADC converts each assigned channel in 3µs and stores the
result in an internal 14x4 RAM. Upon completion of the
conversions, data can be accessed by applying successive pulses to the RD pin. Four successive reads
access four data words sequentially.
The parallel interface’s data-access and bus-release
timing specifications are compatible with most popular
digital signal processors and 16-bit/32-bit microprocessors, so the MAX125/MAX126 conversion results can
be accessed without resorting to wait states.

calibrated.

Note 4: f

Note 5: First five harmonics.
Note 6: All inputs except CH1A driven with ±5V (MAX125) or ±2.5V (MAX126) 10kHz signal; CH1A connected to AGND and digitized.

Note 9: Temperature drift is defined as the change in output voltage from +25°C to T
MIN
or T
MAX
. It is calculated as
TC = [∆REFOUT/REFOUT] / ∆T.
Note 10: See Figure 2.
Note 11: Defined as the change in positive full scale caused by a ±5% variation in the nominal supply voltage. Tested with one input
at full scale and all others at AGND. V
REFIN

Note 12: Tested with V
IN
= AGND on all channels, V
REFIN
= 2.5V (internal).
Note 13: The data-access time is defined as the time required for an output to cross 0.8V or 2.0V. It is measured using the circuit of
Figure 1. The measured number is then extrapolated back to determine the value with a 25pF load.
Note 14: The bus-relinquish time is derived from the measured time taken for the data outputs to change 0.5V when loaded with the
circuit of Figure 1. The measured number is then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging/discharging the 120pF
capacitor. Thus, the time given is the part’s true bus-relinquish time, independent of the external bus loading capacitance.
