1.5Msps, Single-Supply, Low-Power, True-
Differential, 12-Bit ADCs with Internal Reference
General Description
The MAX1277/MAX1279 are low-power, high-speed, seri-
al-output, 12-bit, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with
an internal reference that operates at up to 1.5Msps.
These devices feature true-differential inputs, offering bet-
ter noise immunity, distortion improvements, and a wider
dynamic range over single-ended inputs. A standard
SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™ interface provides the clock
necessary for conversion. These devices easily interface
with standard digital signal processor (DSP) synchronous
serial interfaces.
The MAX1277/MAX1279 operate from a single +2.7V to
+3.6V supply voltage. The MAX1277/MAX1279 include a
2.048V internal reference. The MAX1277 has a unipolar
analog input, while the MAX1279 has a bipolar analog
input. These devices feature a partial power-down mode
and a full power-down mode for use between conver-
sions, which lower the supply current to 2mA (typ) and
1µA (max), respectively. Also featured is a separate
power-supply input (V
L
), which allows direct interfacing to
+1.8V to V
DD
digital logic. The fast conversion speed,
low-power dissipation, excellent AC performance, and DC
accuracy (±1 LSB INL) make the MAX1277/MAX1279
ideal for industrial process control, motor control, and
base-station applications.
The MAX1277/MAX1279 come in a 12-pin TQFN pack-
age, and are available in the extended (-40°C to +85°C)
temperature range.

Note 1:
Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the gain error and the offset
error have been nulled.
Note 2:
No missing codes over temperature.
Note 3:
Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles (16) multiplied by the clock period.
Note 4:
At sample rates below 10ksps, the input full-linear bandwidth is reduced to 5kHz.
Note 5:
The listed value of three SCLK cycles is given for full-speed continuous conversions. Acquisition time begins on the 14th ris-
ing edge of SCLK and terminates on the next falling edge of CNVST. The IC idles in acquisition mode between conversions.
Note 6:
Undersampling at the maximum signal bandwidth requires the minimum jitter spec for SINAD performance.
Note 7:
1.5Msps operation guaranteed for V
L
> 2.7V. See the
Typical Operating Characteristics
section for recommended sampling
speeds for V
L
< 2.7V.
Note 8:
Digital supply current is measured with the V

level equal to V

level equal to GND.
