General Description
The MAX1272/MAX1273 multirange 12-bit data-acquisi-
tion systems (DAS) operate with a single 5V supply. The
software-programmable analog input accepts a variety
of voltage ranges: ±10V, ±5V, 0 to 10V, 0 to 5V for the
MAX1272; ±V

/2 for the
MAX1273. The software-selectable extended analog
input range increases the effective dynamic range to 14
bits and provides the flexibility to interface 4–20mA pow-
ered sensors directly to a single 5V system. In addition,
the MAX1272 provides fault protection to ±12V. Other
features include a 5MHz track/hold (T/H) bandwidth,
87ksps throughput rate, and internal (4.096V) or external
(2.40V to 4.18V) reference.
The MAX1272/MAX1273 serial interfaces connect
directly to SPI/QSPI™/MICROWIRE
®
-compatible
devices without any external logic.
Four software-programmable power-down modes
(delayed standby, immediate standby, delayed full power-
down, and immediate full power-down) provide low-cur-
rent shutdown between conversions. In standby mode, the
internal reference buffer remains active, thus eliminating
startup delay.
The MAX1272/MAX1273 are available in an 8-pin
µMAX
®
package. Both devices are available in the
extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
