Analog Input Circuitry
The analog inputs can be individually configured for
either differential or single-ended conversions by writing
the associated analog input configuration byte (Table 2).
The analog input signal source must be capable of dri-
ving the ADC’s 6k
Ω input resistance (Figure 6).
Figure 6 shows the simplified analog input circuit. The
analog inputs are ±6V fault tolerant and are protected
by back-to-back diodes. The summing junction voltage,
V
SJ
, is a function of the channel’s input common-mode
voltage:
As a result, the analog input impedance is relatively
constant over the input voltage as shown in Figure 5.
Single-ended conversions are internally referenced to
AGND1 (Tables 3 and 4). In differential mode, IN+ and
IN- are selected according to Tables 3 and 5. When con-
figuring differential channels, the differential pair follows
the analog configuration byte for the positive channel.
For example, to configure CH2 and CH3 for a ±V
REF
dif-
ferential conversion, set the CH2 analog configuration
byte for a differential conversion with the ±V
REF
range
(1010 1100). To initiate a conversion for the CH2 and
CH3 differential pair, issue the command 1010 0000.
Analog Input Bandwidth
The MAX1034/MAX1035 input-tracking circuitry has a
1.5MHz small-signal bandwidth. The 1.5MHz input
bandwidth makes it possible to digitize high-speed
transient events. Harmonic distortion increases when
digitizing signal frequencies above 15kHz as shown in
the THD, -SFDR vs. Analog Input Frequency plot in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
Analog Input Range and Fault Tolerance
Figure 7 illustrates the software-selectable single-
ended analog input voltage range that produces a valid
digital output. Each analog input channel can be inde-
pendently programmed to one of seven single-ended
input ranges by setting the R[2:0] control bits with
DIF/SGL = 0.
