General Description
The MAX1221/MAX1223/MAX1343 integrate a multichan-
nel, 12-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a 12-bit,
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in a single IC. The
devices also include a temperature sensor and config-
urable general-purpose I/O ports (GPIOs) with a 25MHz
SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible serial inter-
face. The ADC is available in a 12 or an eight input-chan-
nel version. The DAC outputs settle within 2.0s, and the
ADC has a 225ksps conversion rate.
All devices include an internal reference (2.5V) providing
a well-regulated, low-noise reference for both the ADC
and DAC. Programmable reference modes for the ADC
and DAC allow the use of an internal reference, an exter-
nal reference, or a combination of both. Features such as
an internal ±1°C accurate temperature sensor, FIFO,
scan modes, programmable internal or external clock
modes, data averaging, and AutoShutdown allow users
to minimize both power consumption and processor
requirements. The low glitch energy (4nVs) and low digi-
tal feedthrough (0.5nVs) of the integrated DACs make
these devices ideal for digital control of fast-response
closed-loop systems.
The devices are guaranteed to operate with a supply volt-
age from +2.7V to +5.25V. The devices consume 2.5mA
at 225ksps throughput, only 22A at 1ksps throughput,
and under 0.2A in the shutdown mode. The MAX1221/
MAX1343 offer four GPIOs that can be configured as
inputs or outputs.
The MAX1221/MAX1223/MAX1343 are available in 36-pin
thin QFN packages. All devices are specified over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
