Rainbow Electronics MAX1249 User Manual

_______________
General Description
The MAX1248/MAX1249 10-bit data-acquisition sys­tems combine a 4-channel multiplexer, high-bandwidth track/hold, and serial interface with high conversion speed and low power consumption. They operate from a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply, and their analog inputs are software configurable for unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/differential operation.
The 4-wire serial interface connects directly to SPI™/ QSPI™ and MICROWIRE™ devices without external logic. A serial strobe output allows direct connection to TMS320-family digital signal processors. The MAX1248/MAX1249 use either the internal clock or an external serial-interface clock to perform successive­approximation analog-to-digital conversions.
The MAX1248 has an internal 2.5V reference, while the MAX1249 requires an external reference. Both parts have a reference-buffer amplifier with a ±1.5% voltage adjustment range.
These devices provide a hard-wired SHDN pin and a software-selectable power-down, and can be pro­grammed to automatically shut down at the end of a conversion. Accessing the serial interface automatically powers up the MAX1248/MAX1249, and the quick turn-on time allows them to be shut down between all conversions. This technique can cut supply current to under 60µA at reduced sampling rates.
The MAX1248/MAX1249 are available in a 16-pin DIP and a very small QSOP that occupies the same board area as an 8-pin SO.
For 8-channel versions of these devices, see the MAX148/MAX149 data sheet.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX1248/MAX1249 analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) use a successive-approximation conversion technique and input track/hold (T/H) circuitry to convert an analog signal to a 10-bit digital output. A flexible serial interface provides easy interface to microproces­sors (µPs). Figure 3 is a block diagram of the MAX1248/MAX1249.
Pseudo-Differential Input
The sampling architecture of the ADC’s analog com­parator is illustrated in the equivalent input circuit (Figure 4). In single-ended mode, IN+ is internally switched to CH0–CH3, and IN- is switched to COM. In differential mode, IN+ and IN- are selected from two pairs: CH0/CH1 and CH2/CH3. Configure the channels with Tables 2 and 3. Please note that the codes for CH0–CH3 in the MAX1248/MAX1249 correspond to the codes for CH2–CH5 in the eight-channel (MAX148/MAX149) versions.
In differential mode, IN- and IN+ are internally switched to either of the analog inputs. This configuration is pseudo-differential to the effect that only the signal at IN+ is sampled. The return side (IN-) must remain sta­ble within ±0.5LSB (±0.1LSB for best results) with respect to AGND during a conversion. To accomplish this, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from IN- (the selected analog input) to AGND.
During the acquisition interval, the channel selected as the positive input (IN+) charges capacitor C
HOLD
. The
acquisition interval spans three SCLK cycles and ends
on the falling SCLK edge after the last bit of the input control word has been entered. At the end of the acqui­sition interval, the T/H switch opens, retaining charge on C
HOLD
as a sample of the signal at IN+.
The conversion interval begins with the input multiplex­er switching C
HOLD
from the positive input (IN+) to the negative input (IN-). In single-ended mode, IN- is sim­ply COM. This unbalances node ZERO at the compara­tor’s input. The capacitive DAC adjusts during the remainder of the conversion cycle to restore node ZERO to 0V within the limits of 10-bit resolution. This action is equivalent to transferring a charge of 16pF x [(V
IN
+
) - (VIN-)] from C
HOLD
to the binary-weighted capacitive DAC, which in turn forms a digital represen­tation of the analog input signal.
Track/Hold
The T/H enters its tracking mode on the falling clock edge after the fifth bit of the 8-bit control word has been shifted in. It enters its hold mode on the falling clock edge after the eighth bit of the control word has been shifted in. If the converter is set up for single-ended inputs, IN- is connected to COM, and the converter samples the “+” input. If the converter is set up for dif­ferential inputs, IN- connects to the “-” input, and the difference of |IN+ - IN-
| is sampled. At the end of the
conversion, the positive input connects back to IN+, and C
HOLD
charges to the input signal.
The time required for the T/H to acquire an input signal is a function of how quickly its input capacitance is charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high,

the acquisition time lengthens, and more time must be allowed between conversions. The acquisition time, t
ACQ
, is the maximum time the device takes to acquire the signal, and is also the minimum time needed for the signal to be acquired. It is calculated by:
t
ACQ
= 7.6 x (RS+ RIN) x 16pF
where RIN= 9k, RS= the source impedance of the input signal, and t
ACQ
is never less than 1.5µs. Note that source impedances below 3kdo not significantly affect the ADC’s AC performance.
Higher source impedances can be used if a 0.01µF capacitor is connected to the individual analog inputs. Note that the input capacitor forms an RC filter with the input source impedance, limiting the ADC’s signal bandwidth.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input tracking circuitry has a 2.25MHz small-signal bandwidth, so it is possible to digitize high-speed transient events and measure periodic sig­nals with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by using undersampling techniques. To avoid high-frequency signals being aliased into the frequency band of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.
Analog Input Protection
Internal protection diodes, which clamp the analog input to VDDand AGND, allow the channel input pins to swing from AGND - 0.3V to VDD+ 0.3V without damage. However, for accurate conversions near full scale, the inputs must not exceed VDDby more than 50mV or be lower than AGND by 50mV.
If the analog input exceeds 50mV beyond the sup­plies, do not forward bias the protection diodes of off channels over 4mA.
How to Start a Conversion
A conversion is started by clocking a control byte into DIN. With CS low, each rising edge on SCLK clocks a bit from DIN into the MAX1248/MAX1249’s internal shift reg­ister. After CS falls, the first arriving logic “1” bit defines the control byte’s MSB. Until this first “start” bit arrives, any number of logic “0” bits can be clocked into DIN with no effect. Table 1 shows the control-byte format.
The MAX1248/MAX1249 are compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE devices. For SPI, select the correct clock polarity and sampling edge in the SPI control reg­isters: set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0. MICROWIRE, SPI, and QSPI all transmit a byte and receive a byte at the same time. Using the

plest software interface requires only three 8-bit transfers to perform a conversion (one 8-bit transfer to configure the ADC, and two more 8-bit transfers to clock out the 10-bit conversion result). See Figure 19 for MAX1248/ MAX1249 QSPI connections.
Simple Software Interface
Make sure the CPU’s serial interface runs in master mode so the CPU generates the serial clock. Choose a clock frequency from 100kHz to 2MHz.
1) Set up the control byte for external clock mode and call it TB1. TB1 should be of the format: 1XXXXX11 binary, where the Xs denote the particular channel and conversion mode selected.
2) Use a general-purpose I/O line on the CPU to pull CS low.
3) Transmit TB1 and, simultaneously, receive a byte and call it RB1. Ignore RB1.
4) Transmit a byte of all zeros ($00 hex) and, simulta­neously, receive byte RB2.
5) Transmit a byte of all zeros ($00 hex) and, simulta­neously, receive byte RB3.
6) Pull CS high.
Figure 5 shows the timing for this sequence. Bytes RB2 and RB3 contain the result of the conversion padded with one leading zero, two sub-bits, and three trailing zeros. The total conversion time is a function of the
serial-clock frequency and the amount of idle time between 8-bit transfers. To avoid excessive T/H droop, make sure the total conversion time does not exceed 120µs.
Digital Output
In unipolar input mode, the output is straight binary (Figure 16). For bipolar inputs, the output is two’s com­plement (Figure 17). Data is clocked out at the falling edge of SCLK in MSB-first format.
Clock Modes
The MAX1248/MAX1249 may use either an external serial clock or the internal clock to perform the succes­sive-approximation conversion. In both clock modes, the external clock shifts data in and out of the MAX1248/MAX1249. The T/H acquires the input signal as the last three bits of the control byte are clocked into DIN. Bits PD1 and PD0 of the control byte program the clock mode. Figures 6–9 show the timing characteristics common to both modes.
External Clock
In external clock mode, the external clock not only shifts data in and out, it also drives the analog-to-digital con­version steps. SSTRB pulses high for one clock period after the last bit of the control byte. Successive-approxi­mation bit decisions are made and appear at DOUT on each of the next 10 SCLK falling edges (Figure 5). SSTRB and DOUT go into a high-impedance state when

CS goes high; after the next CS falling edge, SSTRB will output a logic low. Figure 7 shows the SSTRB timing in external clock mode.
The conversion must complete in some minimum time, or droop on the sample-and-hold capacitors may degrade conversion results. Use internal clock mode if
the serial-clock frequency is less than 100kHz, or if serial-clock interruptions could cause the conversion interval to exceed 120µs.

Internal Clock
In internal clock mode, the MAX1248/MAX1249 gener­ate their own conversion clocks internally. This frees the µP from the burden of running the SAR conversion clock and allows the conversion results to be read back at the processor’s convenience, at any clock rate from 0MHz to 2MHz. SSTRB goes low at the start of the conversion and then goes high when the conversion is complete. SSTRB is low for a maximum of 7.5µs (SHDN = FLOAT), during which time SCLK should remain low for best noise performance.
An internal register stores data when the conversion is in progress. SCLK clocks the data out of this register at any time after the conversion is complete. After SSTRB goes high, the next falling clock edge produces the
MSB of the conversion at DOUT, followed by the remaining bits in MSB-first format (Figure 8). CS does not need to be held low once a conversion is started. Pulling CS high prevents data from being clocked into the MAX1248/MAX1249 and three-states DOUT, but it does not adversely affect an internal clock mode con­version already in progress. When internal clock mode is selected, SSTRB does not go into a high-impedance state when CS goes high.
Figure 9 shows the SSTRB timing in internal clock mode. In this mode, data can be shifted in and out of the MAX1248/MAX1249 at clock rates exceeding
2.0MHz if the minimum acquisition time, t
ACQ
, is kept
above 1.5µs.

Data Framing
The falling edge of CS does not start a conversion. The first logic high clocked into DIN is interpreted as a start bit and defines the first bit of the control byte. A conver­sion starts on the falling edge of SCLK, after the eighth bit of the control byte (the PD0 bit) is clocked into DIN. The start bit is defined as:
The first high bit clocked into DIN with CS low any time the converter is idle; e.g., after VDDis applied.
OR
The first high bit clocked into DIN after bit 3 of a con­version in progress is clocked onto the DOUT pin.
If CS
is toggled before the current conversion is com­plete, the next high bit clocked into DIN is recognized as a start bit; the current conversion is terminated, and a new one is started.
The fastest the MAX1248/MAX1249 can run with CS held low between conversions is 15 clocks per conver­sion. Figure 10a shows the serial-interface timing nec­essary to perform a conversion every 15 SCLK cycles in external clock mode. If CS is tied low and SCLK is continuous, guarantee a start bit by first clocking in 16 zeros.
Most microcontrollers require that conversions occur in multiples of 8 SCLK clocks; 16 clocks per conversion is typically the fastest that a microcontroller can drive the MAX1248/MAX1249. Figure 10b shows the serial-inter­face timing necessary to perform a conversion every 16 SCLK cycles in external clock mode.
__________ Applications Information
Power-On Reset
When power is first applied, and if SHDN is not pulled low, internal power-on reset circuitry activates the MAX1248/MAX1249 in internal clock mode, ready to convert with SSTRB = high. After the power supplies have stabilized, the internal reset time is 10µs, and no conversions should be performed during this phase. SSTRB is high on power-up and, if CS is low, the first logical 1 on DIN is interpreted as a start bit. Until a con­version takes place, DOUT shifts out zeros (also see Table 4).
Reference-Buffer Compensation
In addition to its shutdown function, SHDN selects inter­nal or external compensation. The compensation affects both power-up time and maximum conversion speed. The 100kHz minimum clock rate is limited by droop on the sample-and-hold, and is independent of the compensation used.

Float SHDN to select external compensation. The
Typical Operating Circuit
uses a 4.7µF capacitor at VREF. A value of 4.7µF or greater ensures reference­buffer stability and allows converter operation at the 2MHz full clock speed. External compensation increas­es power-up time (see
Choosing Power-Down Mode
and Table 4). Pull SHDN high to select internal compensation.
Internal compensation requires no external capacitor at VREF and allows for the shortest power-up times. The maximum clock rate is 2MHz in internal clock mode and 400kHz in external clock mode.
Choosing Power-Down Mode
You can save power by placing the converter in a low­current shutdown state between conversions. Select full power-down or fast power-down mode via bits 1 and 0 of the DIN control byte with SHDN high or floating (Tables 1 and 5). In both software power-down modes, the serial interface remains operational, but the ADC does not convert. Pull SHDN low at any time to shut down the converter completely. SHDN overrides bits 1 and 0 of the control byte.
Full power-down mode turns off all chip functions that draw quiescent current, reducing supply current typically to 2µA. Fast power-down mode turns off all circuitry except the bandgap reference. With fast power-down mode, the supply current is 30µA. Power-up time can be shortened to 5µs in internal compensation mode.
Table 4 shows how the choice of reference-buffer com­pensation and power-down mode affects both power-up delay and maximum sample rate. In external compensa­tion mode, power-up time is 20ms with a 4.7µF compen­sation capacitor when the capacitor is initially fully discharged. From fast power-down, start-up time can be eliminated by using low-leakage capacitors that do not discharge more than 1/2LSB while shut down. In power­down, leakage currents at VREF cause droop on the ref­erence bypass capacitor. Figures 11a and 11b show the various power-down sequences in both external and internal clock modes.

Software Power-Down
Software power-down is activated using bits PD1 and PD0 of the control byte. As shown in Table 5, PD1 and PD0 also specify the clock mode. When software shutdown is asserted, the ADC operates in the last specified clock mode until the conversion is complete. Then the ADC powers down into a low quiescent-current state. In internal clock mode, the interface remains active, and conversion results may be clocked out after the MAX1248/MAX1249 enter a software power-down.
The first logical 1 on DIN is interpreted as a start bit and powers up the MAX1248/MAX1249. Following the start bit, the data input word or control byte also deter­mines clock mode and power-down states. For exam­ple, if the DIN word contains PD1 = 1, then the chip remains powered up. If PD0 = PD1 = 0, a power-down resumes after one conversion.
Hardware Power-Down
Pulling SHDN low places the converter in hardware power-down (Table 6). Unlike software power-down mode, the conversion is not completed; it stops coinci­dentally with SHDN being brought low. SHDN also con­trols the clock frequency in internal clock mode. Letting SHDN float sets the internal clock frequency to 1.8MHz. When returning to normal operation with SHDN floating, there is a tRCdelay of approximately 2Mx CL, where CLis the capacitive loading on the SHDN pin. Pulling SHDN high sets the internal clock frequency to 225kHz.
This feature eases the settling-time requirement for the reference voltage. With an external reference, the MAX1248/MAX1249 can be considered fully powered up within 2µs of actively pulling SHDN high.
Power-Down Sequencing
The MAX1248/MAX1249 auto power-down modes can save considerable power when operating at less than maximum sample rates. Figures 12, 13a, and 13b show the average supply current as a function of the sampling rate. The following discussion illustrates the various power-down sequences.
Lowest Power at up to 500
Conversions/Channel/Second
The following examples illustrate two different power­down sequences. Other combinations of clock rates, compensation modes, and power-down modes may give lowest power consumption in other applications.
Figure 13a depicts the MAX1248 power consumption for one or eight channel conversions, utilizing full power-down mode and internal-reference compensa­tion. A 0.01µF bypass capacitor at REFADJ forms an RC filter with the internal 20kreference resistor with a
0.2ms time constant. To achieve full 10-bit accuracy, 8 time constants or 1.6ms are required after power-up. Waiting 1.6ms in FASTPD mode instead of in full power­up can reduce the power consumption by a factor of 10 or more. This is achieved by using the sequence shown in Figure 14.

Figure 13b shows the power consumption with external-reference compensation in fast power-down, with one and four channels converted. The external
4.7µF compensation requires a 75µs wait after power-up with one dummy conversion. This circuit combines fast multi-channel conversion with lowest power consumption possible. Full power-down mode may provide increased power savings in applications where the MAX1248/MAX1249 are inactive for long periods of time, but where intermittent bursts of high-speed conversions are required.
Internal and External References
The MAX1248 can be used with an internal or external reference voltage, whereas an external reference is required for the MAX1249. An external reference can be connected directly at VREF or at the REFADJ pin.
An internal buffer is designed to provide 2.5V at VREF for both the MAX1248 and the MAX1249. The MAX1248’s internally trimmed 1.21V reference is buffered with a gain of 2.06. The MAX1249’s REFADJ pin is also buffered with a gain of 2.06 to scale an external 1.25V reference at REFADJ to 2.5V at VREF.
Internal Reference (MAX1248)
The MAX1248’s full-scale range with the internal refer­ence is 2.5V with unipolar inputs and ±1.25V with bipo­lar inputs. The internal-reference voltage is adjustable to ±1.5% with the circuit of Figure 15.

External Reference
With both the MAX1248 and MAX1249, an external ref­erence can be placed at either the input (REFADJ) or the output (VREF) of the internal reference-buffer ampli­fier. The REFADJ input impedance is typically 20kfor the MAX1248 and higher than 100kfor the MAX1249, where the internal reference is omitted. At VREF, the DC input resistance is a minimum of 18k. During con­version, an external reference at VREF must deliver up to 350µA DC load current and have an output impedance of 10or less. If the reference has higher output impedance or is noisy, bypass it close to the VREF pin with a 4.7µF capacitor.
Using the REFADJ input makes buffering the external reference unnecessary. To use the direct VREF input, disable the internal buffer by tying REFADJ to VDD. In power-down, the input bias current to REFADJ can be as much as 25µA with REFADJ tied to VDD. Pull REFADJ to AGND to minimize the input bias current in power-down.
Transfer Function
Table 7 shows the full-scale voltage ranges for unipolar and bipolar modes.
The external reference must have a temperature coeffi­cient of 20ppm/°C or less to achieve accuracy to within 1LSB over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.
Figure 16 depicts the nominal, unipolar input/output (I/O) transfer function, and Figure 17 shows the bipolar input/output transfer function. Code transitions occur halfway between successive-integer LSB values. Output coding is binary, with 1LSB = 2.44mV (2.500V /
1024) for unipolar operation and 1LSB = 2.44mV [(2.500V / 2 - -2.500V / 2) / 1024] for bipolar operation.

For best performance, use printed circuit boards. Wire-wrap boards are not recommended. Board layout should ensure that digital and analog signal lines are separated from each other. Do not run analog and digi­tal (especially clock) lines parallel to one another, or digital lines underneath the ADC package.
Figure 18 shows the recommended system ground connections. Establish a single-point analog ground (star ground point) at AGND, separate from the logic ground. Connect all other analog grounds and DGND to the star ground. No other digital system ground should be connected to this ground. For lowest noise operation, the ground return to the star ground’s power supply should be low impedance and as short as pos­sible.
High-frequency noise in the V
DD
power supply may affect the ADC’s high-speed comparator. Bypass the supply to the star ground with 0.1µF and 1µF capaci­tors close to pin 1 of the MAX1248/MAX1249. Minimize capacitor lead lengths for best supply-noise rejection. If the +3V power supply is very noisy, a 10resistor can be connected as a lowpass filter (Figure 18).
High-Speed Digital Interfacing with QSPI
The MAX1248/MAX1249 can interface with QSPI using the circuit in Figure 19 (f
SCLK
= 2.0MHz, CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0). This QSPI circuit can be programmed to do a conversion on each of the four channels. The result is stored in memory without taxing the CPU, since QSPI incorporates its own micro-sequencer.
The MAX1248/MAX1249 are QSPI compatible up to their maximum external clock frequency of 2MHz.

TMS320LC3x Interface
Figure 20 shows an application circuit to interface the MAX1248/MAX1249 to the TMS320 in external clock mode. The timing diagram for this interface circuit is shown in Figure 21.
Use the following steps to initiate a conversion in the MAX1248/MAX1249 and to read the results:
1) The TMS320 should be configured with CLKX (transmit clock) as an active-high output clock and CLKR (TMS320 receive clock) as an active-high input clock. CLKX and CLKR on the TMS320 are tied together with the MAX1248/MAX1249’s SCLK input.
2) The MAX1248/MAX1249’s CS pin is driven low by the TMS320’s XF_ I/O port, to enable data to be clocked into the MAX1248/MAX1249’s DIN.
3) An 8-bit word (1XXXXX11) should be written to the MAX1248/MAX1249 to initiate a conversion and place the device into external clock mode. Refer to Table 1 to select the proper XXXXX bit values for your specific application.
4) The MAX1248/MAX1249’s SSTRB output is moni­tored via the TMS320’s FSR input. A falling edge on the SSTRB output indicates that the conversion is in progress and data is ready to be received from the MAX1248/MAX1249.
5) The TMS320 reads in one data bit on each of the next 16 rising edges of SCLK. These data bits rep­resent the 10 + 2-bit conversion result followed by four trailing bits, which should be ignored.
6) Pull CS high to disable the MAX1248/MAX1249 until the next conversion is initiated.
