+2.7V to +5.25V, Low-Power, 10-Bit
Serial ADCs in SO-8
__________________General Description
The MAX1242/MAX1243 are low-power, 10-bit analog-
to-digital converters (ADCs) available in 8-pin pack-
ages. They operate with a single +2.7V to +5.25V
supply and feature a 7.5µs successive-approximation
ADC, a fast track/hold (1.5µs), an on-chip clock, and a
high-speed, 3-wire serial interface.
Power consumption is only 3mW (V
DD
= 3V) at the
73ksps maximum sampling speed. A 2µA shutdown
mode reduces power at slower throughput rates.
The MAX1242 has an internal 2.5V reference, while the
MAX1243 requires an external reference. The MAX1243
accepts signals from 0V to V
REF
, and the reference
input range includes the positive supply rail. An exter-
nal clock accesses data from the 3-wire interface,
which connects directly to standard microcontroller I/O
ports. The interface is compatible with SPI™, QSPI™,
and Microwire™.
Excellent AC characteristics and very low power com-
bined with ease of use and small package size make
these converters ideal for remote-sensor and data-
acquisition applications, or for other circuits with
demanding power consumption and space require-
ments. The MAX1242/MAX1243 are available in 8-pin
DIP and SO packages.

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.

Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the full-scale range and
offset have been calibrated.
Note 3:
Offset nulled.
Note 4:
Sample tested to 0.1% AQL.
Note 5:
External load should not change during conversion for specified accuracy.
