General Description
Features
The MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 are serial 12-bit ana-
log-to-digital converters (ADCs) with an internal reference
and an internal temperature sensor. These devices fea-
ture an on-chip FIFO, scan mode, internal clock mode,
internal averaging, and AutoShutdown™. The maximum
sampling rate is 300ksps using an external clock. The
MAX1231 has 16 input channels, the MAX1229 has 12
input channels, and the MAX1227 has 8 input channels.
All input channels are configurable for single-ended or
differential inputs in unipolar or bipolar mode. All three
devices operate from a +3V supply and contain a 10MHz
SPI™-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE™-compatible serial port.

Detailed Description
The MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 are low-power, seri-
al-output, multichannel ADCs with temperature-sensing
capability for temperature-control, process-control, and
monitoring applications. These 12-bit ADCs have inter-
nal track and hold (T/H) circuitry that supports single-
ended and fully differential inputs. Data is converted
from an internal temperature sensor or analog voltage
sources in a variety of channel and data-acquisition
Figure 2 shows a simplified functional diagram of the
MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 internal architecture.
The MAX1227 has eight single-ended analog input
channels or four differential channels. The MAX1229
has 12 single-ended analog input channels or six differ-
ential channels. The MAX1231 has 16 single-ended
analog input channels or eight differential channels.

The MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 ADCs use a fully dif-
ferential, successive-approximation register (SAR) con-
version technique and an on-chip T/H block to convert
temperature and voltage signals into a 12-bit digital
result. Both single-ended and differential configurations
are supported, with a unipolar signal range for single-
ended mode and bipolar or unipolar ranges for differ-
ential mode.
CKSEL1 and CKSEL0, respectively, control the clock
modes in the setup register (see Table 3). Choose
between four different clock modes for various ways to
start a conversion and determine whether the acquisi-
tions are internally or externally timed. Select clock
mode 00 to configure CNVST/AIN_ to act as a conver-
sion start and use it to request the programmed, inter-
nally timed conversions without tying up the serial bus.
In clock mode 01, use CNVST to request conversions
one channel at a time, controlling the sampling speed
without tying up the serial bus. Request and start inter-
nally timed conversions through the serial interface by
writing to the conversion register in the default clock
mode 10. Use clock mode 11 with SCLK up to 4.8MHz
for externally timed acquisitions to achieve sampling
rates up to 300ksps. Clock mode 11 disables scanning
and averaging. See Figures 4–7 for timing specifica-
tions and how to begin a conversion.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input-tracking circuitry has a 1MHz small-
signal bandwidth, so it is possible to digitize high-
speed transient events and measure periodic signals
with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by
using undersampling techniques. Anti-alias prefiltering
of the input signals is necessary to avoid high-frequen-
cy signals aliasing into the frequency band of interest.
Analog Input Protection
These devices feature an active-low, end-of-conversion
output. EOC goes low when the ADC completes the last-
requested operation and is waiting for the next input
data byte (for clock modes 00 and 10). In clock mode
01, EOC goes low after the ADC completes each
requested operation. EOC goes high when CS or CNVST
goes low. EOC is always high in clock mode 11.
Internal ESD protection diodes clamp all pins to V
DD
and GND, allowing the inputs to swing from (GND -
0.3V) to (V + 0.3V) without damage. However, for
DD
accurate conversions near full scale, the inputs must
not exceed V by more than 50mV or be lower than
DD
GND by 50mV. If an off-channel analog input voltage
exceeds the supplies, limit the input current to 2mA.
Single-Ended/Differential Input
The MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 use a fully differen-
tial ADC for all conversions. The analog inputs can be
configured for either differential or single-ended con-
versions by writing to the setup register (see Table 3).
Single-ended conversions are internally referenced to
GND (see Figure 3).
3-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 feature a serial
interface compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE
devices. For SPI/QSPI, ensure the CPU serial interface
runs in master mode so it generates the serial clock
signal. Select the SCLK frequency of 10MHz or less,
and set clock polarity (CPOL) and phase (CPHA) in the
µP control registers to the same value. The MAX1227/
MAX1229/MAX1231 operate with SCLK idling high or
low, and thus operate with CPOL = CPHA = 0 or CPOL
= CPHA = 1. Set CS low to latch input data at DIN on
the rising edge of SCLK. Output data at DOUT is
updated on the falling edge of SCLK. Bipolar true dif-
ferential results and temperature sensor results are
available in two’s complement format, while all others
are in binary.
79/MAX231
In differential mode, the T/H samples the difference
between two analog inputs, eliminating common-mode
DC offsets and noise. IN+ and IN- are selected from
the following pairs: AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3, AIN4/AIN5,
AIN6/AIN7, AIN8/AIN9, AIN10/AIN11, AIN12/AIN13,
and AIN14/AIN15. AIN0–AIN7 are available on the
MAX1227, MAX1229, and MAX1231. AIN8–AIN11 are
only available on the MAX1229 and MAX1231.
AIN12–AIN15 are only available on the MAX1231. See
Tables 2–5 for more details on configuring the inputs.
For the inputs that can be configured as CNVST or an
analog input, only one can be used at a time. For the
inputs that can be configured as REF- or an analog
input, the REF- configuration excludes the analog input.
Serial communication always begins with an 8-bit input
data byte (MSB first) loaded from DIN. Use a second
byte, immediately following the setup byte, to write to
the unipolar mode or bipolar mode registers (see
Tables 1, 3, 4, and 5). A high-to-low transition on CS ini-
tiates the data input operation. The input data byte and
the subsequent data bytes are clocked from DIN into
the serial interface on the rising edge of SCLK.

Unipolar/Bipolar
Internal FIFO
The MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 contain a FIFO
buffer that can hold up to 16 ADC results plus one tem-
perature result. This allows the ADC to handle multiple
internally clocked conversions and a temperature mea-
surement, without tying up the serial bus.
Address the unipolar and bipolar registers through the
setup register (bits 1 and 0). Program a pair of analog
channels for differential operation by writing a 1 to the
appropriate bit of the bipolar or unipolar register.
Unipolar mode sets the differential input range from 0
to V
. A negative differential analog input in unipolar
mode causes the digital output code to be zero.
Selecting bipolar mode sets the differential input range
/2. The digital output code is binary in unipolar
mode and two’s complement in bipolar mode (Figures
8 and 9).
REF
If the FIFO is filled and further conversions are request-
ed without reading from the FIFO, the oldest ADC
results are overwritten by the new ADC results. Each
result contains 2 bytes, with the MSB preceded by four
leading zeros. After each falling edge of CS, the oldest
available byte of data is available at DOUT, MSB first.
When the FIFO is empty, DOUT is zero.

True Differential Analog Input T/H
The equivalent circuit of Figure 3 shows the MAX1227/
MAX1229/MAX1231s’ input architecture. In track mode,
a positive input capacitor is connected to AIN0–AIN15
in single-ended mode (and AIN0, AIN2, AIN4…AIN14
in differential mode). A negative input capacitor is con-
nected to GND in single-ended mode (or AIN1, AIN3,
AIN5…AIN15 in differential mode). For external T/H
timing, use clock mode 01. After the T/H enters hold
mode, the difference between the sampled positive
and negative input voltages is converted. The time
required for the T/H to acquire an input signal is deter-
mined by how quickly its input capacitance is charged.
If the input signal’s source impedance is high, the
required acquisition time lengthens. The acquisition
Internal Clock
The MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 operate from an
internal oscillator, which is accurate within 10% of the
4.4MHz nominal clock rate. The internal oscillator is
active in clock modes 00, 01, and 10. Read out the
data at clock speeds up to 10MHz. See Figures
4–7 for details on timing specifications and starting a
conversion.

how long CNVST is held low or high, including any time
required to turn on the internal reference. Conversion
time in externally clocked mode (CKSEL1, CKSEL0 = 11)
depends on the SCLK period and how long CS is held
high between each set of eight SCLK cycles. In clock
mode 01, the total conversion time does not include the
time required to turn on the internal reference.
Register Descriptions
The MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 communicate
between the internal registers and the external circuitry
through the SPI-/QSPI-compatible serial interface.
Table 1 details the registers and the bit names. Tables
2–7 show the various functions within the conversion
register, setup register, averaging register, reset regis-
ter, unipolar register, and bipolar register.
Conversion Register
Select active analog input channels, scan modes, and
a single temperature measurement per scan by writing
to the conversion register. Table 2 details channel
selection, the four scan modes, and how to request a
temperature measurement. Request a scan by writing
to the conversion register when in clock mode 10 or 11,
or by applying a low pulse to the CNVST pin when in
clock mode 00 or 01.
Conversion Time Calculations
The conversion time for each scan is based on a num-
ber of different factors: conversion time per sample,
samples per result, results per scan, if a temperature
measurement is requested, and if the external refer-
ence is in use.
Use the following formula to calculate the total conver-
sion time for an internally timed conversion in clock
modes 00 and 10 (see the Electrical Characteristics
section as applicable):
A conversion is not performed if it is requested on a
channel that has been configured as CNVST or REF-.
Do not request conversions on channels 8–15 on the
MAX1227 and channels 12–15 on the MAX1229. Set
CHSEL3:CHSELO to the lower channel’s binary value. If
the last two channels are configured as a differential
pair and one of them has been reconfigured as CNVST
or REF-, the pair is ignored.

Output Data Format
Figures 4–7 illustrate the conversion timing for the
MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231. The 12-bit conversion
result is output in MSB-first format with four leading
zeros. DIN data is latched into the serial interface on
the rising edge of SCLK. Data on DOUT transitions on
the falling edge of SCLK. Conversions in clock modes 00
and 01 are initiated by CNVST. Conversions in clock
modes 10 and 11 are initiated by writing an input data
byte to the conversion register. Data is binary for unipo-
lar mode and two’s complement for bipolar mode.
The MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 perform tempera-
ture measurements with an internal diode-connected
transistor. The diode bias current changes from 68µA
to 4µA to produce a temperature-dependent bias volt-
age difference. The second conversion result at 4µA is
subtracted from the first at 68µA to calculate a digital
value that is proportional to absolute temperature. The
output data appearing at DOUT is the above digital
code minus an offset to adjust from Kelvin to Celsius.
The reference voltage used for the temperature mea-
surements is derived from the internal reference source
to ensure that 1 LSB corresponds to 1/8 of a degree.

timing.
Internally Timed Acquisitions and
Conversions Using CNVST
Setting CNVST low begins an acquisition, wakes up the
ADC, and places it in track mode. Hold CNVST low for
at least 1.4µs to complete the acquisition. If internal ref-
erence needs to wake up, an additional 65µs is
required for the internal reference to power up. If a tem-
perature measurement is being requested, reference
power-up and temperature measurement are internally
timed. In this case, hold CNVST low for at least 40ns.
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 00
In clock mode 00, the wake-up, acquisition, conversion,
and shutdown sequences are initiated through CNVST
and performed automatically using the internal oscilla-
tor. Results are added to the internal FIFO to be read
out later. See Figure 4 for clock mode 00 timing.
Initiate a scan by setting CNVST low for at least 40ns
before pulling it high again. The MAX1227/MAX1229/
MAX1231 then wake up, scan all requested channels,
store the results in the FIFO, and shut down. After the
scan is complete, EOC is pulled low and the results are
available in the FIFO. Wait until EOC goes low before
pulling CS low to communicate with the serial interface.
EOC stays low until CS or CNVST is pulled low again. A
temperature measurement result, if requested, pre-
cedes all other FIFO results.
Set CNVST high to begin a conversion. After the con-
version is complete, the ADC shuts down and pulls
EOC low. EOC stays low until CS or CNVST is pulled
low again. Wait until EOC goes low before pulling CS or
CNVST low.
If averaging is turned on, multiple CNVST pulses need
to be performed before a result is written to the FIFO.
Once the proper number of conversions has been per-
formed to generate an averaged FIFO result, as speci-
fied by the averaging register, the scan logic
automatically switches the analog input multiplexer to
the next-requested channel. If a temperature measure-
ment is programmed, it is performed after the first rising
edge of CNVST following the input data byte written to
the conversion register. The result is available on DOUT
once EOC has been pulled low.
Do not initiate a second CNVST before EOC goes low;
otherwise, the FIFO can become corrupted.

scan all requested channels, store the results in the
FIFO, and shut down. After the scan is complete, EOC
is pulled low and the results are available in the FIFO. If
a temperature measurement is requested, the tempera-

low until CS is pulled low again.
Internally Timed Acquisitions and
Conversions Using the Serial Interface
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 10
In clock mode 10, the wake-up, acquisition, conversion,
and shutdown sequences are initiated by writing an
input data byte to the conversion register, and are per-
formed automatically using the internal oscillator. This is
the default clock mode upon power-up. See Figure 6
for clock mode 10 timing.

rest of the entry is lost. The remaining data in the FIFO
is uncorrupted and can be read out normally after tak-
ing CS low again, as long as the 4 leading bits (normal-
ly zeros) are ignored. Internal registers that are written
partially through the SPI contain new values, starting at
the MSB up to the point that the partial write is stopped.
The part of the register that is not written contains previ-
ously written values. If CS is pulled low before EOC
goes low, a conversion cannot be completed and the
FIFO is corrupted.
Externally Clocked Acquisitions and
Conversions Using the Serial Interface
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 11
In clock mode 11, acquisitions and conversions are ini-
tiated by writing to the conversion register and are per-
formed one at a time using the SCLK as the conversion
clock. Scanning and averaging are disabled, and the
conversion result is available at DOUT during the con-
version. See Figure 7 for clock mode 11 timing.
Initiate a conversion by writing a byte to the conversion
register followed by 16 SCLK cycles. If CS is pulsed
high between the eighth and ninth cycles, the pulse
width must be less than 100µs. To continuously convert
at 16 cycles per conversion, alternate 1 byte of zeros
between each conversion byte.
Transfer Function
Figure 8 shows the unipolar transfer function for single-
ended or differential inputs. Figure 9 shows the bipolar
transfer function for differential inputs. Code transitions
occur halfway between successive-integer LSB values.
Output coding is binary, with 1 LSB = V
/ 2.5V for
REF
If reference mode 00 is requested, or if an external ref-
erence is selected but a temperature measurement is
being requested, wait 65µs with CS high after writing
the conversion byte to extend the acquisition and allow
the internal reference to power up. To perform a tem-
perature measurement, write 24 bytes (192 cycles) of
zeros after the conversion byte. The temperature result
appears on DOUT during the last 2 bytes of the 192
cycles.
unipolar and bipolar operation, and 1 LSB = 0.125°C
for temperature measurements.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use PC boards. Do not use wire-
wrap boards. Board layout should ensure that digital
and analog signal lines are separated from each other.
Do not run analog and digital (especially clock) signals
parallel to one another or run digital lines underneath the
MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 package. High-frequen-
Partial Reads and Partial Writes
If the first byte of an entry in the FIFO is partially read
(CS is pulled high after fewer than eight SCLK cycles),
the second byte of data that is read out contains the
next 8 bits (not b7–b0). The remaining bits are lost for
that entry. If the first byte of an entry in the FIFO is read
out fully, but the second byte is read out partially, the
cy noise in the V
power supply can affect perfor-
DD
mance. Bypass the V
supply with a 0.1µF capacitor
DD
to GND, close to the V
pin. Minimize capacitor lead
DD
lengths for best supply-noise rejection. If the power sup-
ply is very noisy, connect a 10Ω resistor in series with
the supply to improve power-supply filtering. For the
TQFN package, connect its exposed pad to ground.

zation error (residual error). The ideal, theoretical mini-
mum analog-to-digital noise is caused by quantization
error only and results directly from the ADC’s resolution
(N bits):
Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity
Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values
on an actual transfer function from a straight line. This
straight line can be either a best-straight-line fit or a line
drawn between the end points of the transfer function,
once offset and gain errors have been nullified. INL for
the MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 is measured using
the end-point method.
79/MAX231
SNR = (6.02 x N + 1.76)dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quanti-
zation noise, including thermal noise, reference noise,
clock jitter, etc. Therefore, SNR is calculated by taking
the ratio of the RMS signal to the RMS noise, which
includes all spectral components minus the fundamen-
tal, the first five harmonics, and the DC offset.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between
an actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A
DNL error specification of less than 1 LSB guarantees
no missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion
Signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) is the ratio of the
fundamental input frequency’s RMS amplitude to the
RMS equivalent of all other ADC output signals:
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter (t ) is the sample-to-sample variation in
AJ
SINAD (dB) = 20 x log (Signal
/ Noise
)
RMS
RMS
the time between the samples.
Effective Number of Bits
Effective number of bits (ENOB) indicates the global
accuracy of an ADC at a specific input frequency and
sampling rate. An ideal ADC error consists of quantiza-
tion noise only. With an input range equal to the full-
scale range of the ADC, calculate the effective number
of bits as follows:
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay (t ) is the time between the rising
AD
edge of the sampling clock and the instant when an
actual sample is taken.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital
samples, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio of the
full-scale analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quanti-
ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76) / 6.02
