The MAX152 high-speed, microprocessor (µP)-compatible, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) uses a
half-flash technique to achieve a 1.8µs conversion
time, and digitizes at a rate of 400k samples per second (ksps). It operates with single +3V or dual ±3V
supplies and accepts either unipolar or bipolar inputs.
A–P—O—W—E—R—D—O—W—N–pin reduces current consumption to
a typical value of 1µA. The part returns from powerdown and acquires an input signal in less than 900ns,
providing large reductions in supply current in applications with burst-mode input signals.
The MAX152 is DC and dynamically tested. Its µP interface appears as a memory location or input/output port that
requires no external interface logic. The data outputs use
latched, three-state buffered circuitry for direct connection
to a µP data bus or system input port. The ADC's input/reference arrangement enables ratiometric operation. A fully-

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: Accuracy measurements performed at VDD= 3.0V, unipolar mode. Operation over supply range is guaranteed by power-
supply rejection test.
Note 2: Bipolar tests are performed with VREF+ = +1.5V, VREF- = -1.5V, VSS= -3.0V.
Note 3: Unipolar input range, VIN= 3.0V
Note 4: Guaranteed by design.
Note 5: Power-down current increases if control inputs are not driven to ground or VDD.
Note 6: Input control signals are specified with tr= tf= 5ns, 10% to 90% of +3.0V, and timed from a voltage level of 1.3V. Timing
delays get shorter at higher supply voltages. See the Converson Time vs. Supply Voltage graph in the
Characteristics
to extrapolate timing delays at other power-supply voltages.
Note 7: See Figure 1 for load circuit. Parameter defined as the time required for the output to cross 0.66V or 2.0V.
Note 8: See Figure 2 for load circuit. Parameter defined as the time required for the data lines to change 0.5V.
