General Description
The MAX1144/MAX1145 are 150ksps, 14-bit ADCs.
These serially interfaced ADCs connect directly to
SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™ devices without
external logic. They combine an input scaling network,
internal track/hold, clock, and three general-purpose
digital output pins (for external multiplexer or PGA con-
trol) in a 20-pin SSOP package. The excellent dynamic
performance (THD
≥ 90dB), high speed (150ksps in
bipolar mode), and low power (8.0mA) of these ADCs
make them ideal for applications such as industrial
process control, instrumentation, and medical applica-
tions.
The MAX1144 accepts input signals of 0 to +6V (unipo-
lar) or ±6V (bipolar), while the MAX1145 accepts input
signals of 0 to +2.048V (unipolar) or ±2.048V (bipolar).
Operating from a single 3.135V to 3.465V analog digital
supply, powerdown modes reduce current consump-
tion to 0.15mA at 10ksps and further reduce supply
current to less than 20µA slower data rates.
A serial strobe output (SSTRB) allows direct connection
to the TMS320 family digital-signal processors. The
MAX1144/MAX1145 user can select either the internal
clock or an external serial-interface clock for the ADC to
perform analog-to-digital conversions.
The MAX1144/MAX1145 feature internal calibration cir-
cuitry to correct linearity and offset errors. On-demand
calibration allows the user to optimize performance.
Three user-programmable logic outputs are provided
for the control of an 8-channel mux or PGA.
The MAX1144/MAX1145 are available in a 20-pin SSOP
package and are fully specified over the -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
