9-3576; Rev 2; 3/12 4-Channel, ±VREF Multirange Inputs, Serial 16-Bit ADC The MAX1303 multirange, low-power, 16-bit, successive-approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operates from a single +5V supply and achieves throughput rates up to 115ksps. A separate digital supply allows digital interfacing with 2.7V to 5.25V systems using the SPI-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE®-compatible serial interface. Partial power-down mode reduces the supply current to 1.3mA (typ).

MAX1303 4-Channel, ±VREF Multirange Inputs, Serial 16-Bit ADC Bridge Application The MAX1303 converts 1kHz signals more accurately than a similar sigma-delta converter that might be considered in bridge applications. Connect the bridge to a lowoffset differential amplifier and then the true differential inputs of the MAX1303. Larger excitation voltages take advantage of more of the ±VREF/2 differential input voltage range. Select an input voltage range that matches the amplifier output.
4-Channel, ±VREF Multirange Inputs, Serial 16-Bit ADC Unipolar Endpoint Overlap Unipolar endpoint overlap is the change in offset when switching between complementary input voltage ranges. For example, the difference between the voltage that results in a 0xFFFF output in the -VREF/2 to 0V input voltage range and the voltage that results in a 0x0000 output in the 0V to +VREF/2 input voltage range is the unipolar endpoint overlap.
MAX1303 4-Channel, ±VREF Multirange Inputs, Serial 16-Bit ADC Chip Information Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) For the MAX1303, THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the input signal’s first four harmonic components to the fundamental itself. This is expressed as: ⎛ V2 2 + V3 2 + V4 2 + V5 2 THD = 20 × log⎜ ⎜ V1 ⎝ ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2 through V5 are the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 5th-order harmonic components.
