During track phase (Figure 3), the sample switches are closed and the analog inputs are directly connected to the sample capacitors. The charging of the sample capacitor to the input voltage is determined by the source resistance and sampling capacitor size. The rising edge of CNVST is the sampling instant for the ADC.

MAX11903 18-Bit, 1.6Msps, Low-Power, Fully Differential SAR ADC Voltage Reference Configurations The MAX11903 features internal reference buffers, helping to reduce component count and board space. Alternatively, the user may drive the reference nodes REF with an external reference. To use the internal reference buffers, drive the REFIN pin with an external reference voltage source. It will appear on the REF pin as a buffered reference output.

MAX11903 18-Bit, 1.6Msps, Low-Power, Fully Differential SAR ADC Digital Interface The MAX11903 has three different modes to read the data: The MAX11903 has a SPI interface with CNVST controlling the sampling, and SCLK, DOUT, DIN forming the standard SPI signals. The SAR conversion begins with the rising edge of CNVST. The minimum CNVST high time is 20ns and CNVST should be brought low before DOUT goes low, which signals the completion of a SAR conversion.

MAX11903 18-Bit, 1.6Msps, Low-Power, Fully Differential SAR ADC In the split reading mode, the data is read during the track phase and the following SAR conversion phase. Figure 7 shows the descriptive timing diagram. SPI Timing Diagram At higher sampling rates, the track time may not be long enough to allow reading all 18 bits of data. In this case, the data read can be started in track mode, and then continued in the subsequent SAR conversion phase.

If there is no start bit, i.e. DIN is low, the part will output the conversion result and then go idle (see Figures 5, 6, and 7). The 16-bit mode register is the only register that can be written to.

MAX11903 Definitions Integral Nonlinearity Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values on an actual transfer function from a straight line. For these devices, this straight line is a line drawn between the end points of the transfer function, once offset and gain errors have been nullified. Differential Nonlinearity Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between an actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB.
