MAX148/MAX149
The MAX148/MAX149 10-bit data-acquisition systems
combine an 8-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 sample to 133ksps.
Both devices’ 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 MAX148/
MAX149 use either the internal clock or an external serial-
interface clock to perform successive-approximation
analog-to-digital conversions.
The MAX149 has an internal 2.5V reference, while the
MAX148 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 pro-
grammed to automatically shut down at the end of a con-
version. Accessing the serial interface automatically
powers up the MAX148/MAX149, and the quick turn-on
time allows them to be shut down between all conver-
sions. This technique can cut supply current to under
60µA at reduced sampling rates.
The MAX148/MAX149 are available in a 20-pin DIP and a
20-pin SSOP.
For 4-channel versions of these devices, see the
MAX1248/MAX1249 data sheet.

Note 1:
Tested at V
DD
= 2.7V; COM = 0V; unipolar single-ended input mode.
Note 2:
Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the full-scale range has
been calibrated.
Note 3:
MAX149—internal reference, offset nulled; MAX148—external reference (VREF = +2.500V), offset nulled.
Note 4:
Ground “on” channel; sine wave applied to all “off” channels.
Note 5:
Conversion time defined as the number of clock cycles multiplied by the clock period; clock has 50% duty cycle.
Note 6:
The common-mode range for the analog inputs is from AGND to V
DD
.
Note 7:
Sample tested to 0.1% AQL.
Note 8:
External load should not change during conversion for specified accuracy.
Note 9:
ADC performance is limited by the converter’s noise floor, typically 300µVp-p.
Note 10:
Guaranteed by design. Not subject to production testing.
Note 11:
The MAX148 typically draws 400µA less than the values shown.
Note 12:
Measured as
