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 active-low CONVST pulse. In the default mode, one T/H output (CH1A) is converted. An interrupt signal (active-low 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 active-low 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 active-low 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.ApplicationsDigital Signal Processing (DSP)Multiphase Motor ControlPower-Factor MonitoringPower-Grid SynchronizationVibration and Waveform Analysis

The MAX1261/MAX1263 low-power, 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) feature a successive-approximation ADC, automatic power-down, fast wake-up (2µs), an on-chip clock, +2.5V internal reference, and a high-speed, byte-wide parallel interface. They operate with a single +3V analog supply and feature a VLOGICpin that allows them to interface directly with a +1.8V to +5.5V digital supply.Power consumption is only 5.7mW (VDD= VLOGIC) at the maximum sampling rate of 250ksps. Two software-selectable power-down modes enable the MAX1261/MAX1263 to be shut down between conversions; accessing the parallel interface returns them to normal operation. Powering down between conversions can cut supply current to under 10µA at reduced sampling rates.Both devices offer software-configurable analog inputs for unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differential operation. In single-ended mode, the MAX1261 has eight input channels and the MAX1263 has four input channels (four and two input channels, respectively, when in pseudo-differential mode).Excellent dynamic performance and low power, combined with ease of use and small package size, make these converters ideal for battery-powered and data-acquisition applications or for other circuits with demanding power consumption and space requirements.The MAX1261 is available in a 28-pin QSOP package, while the MAX1263 is available in a 24-pin QSOP.

In single-ended mode, the MAX1266 has six input channels and the MAX1268 has two (three input channels and one input channel, respectively, when in pseudo-differential mode).Excellent dynamic performance and low power, combined with ease of use and small package size, make these converters ideal for battery-powered and data-acquisition applications or for other circuits with demanding power-consumption and space requirements.
