General Description
The MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 are
serial 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with an
internal reference. These devices feature on-chip FIFO,
scan mode, internal clock mode, internal averaging, and
AutoShutdown™. The maximum sampling rate is 300ksps
using an external clock. The MAX11632/MAX11633 have
16 input channels; the MAX11628/MAX11629 have 8
input channels; and the MAX11626/MAX11627 have 4
input channels. These six devices operate from either a
+3V supply or a +5V supply, and contain a 10MHz SPI-/
QSPI™-/MICROWIRE®-compatible serial port.
The MAX11626–MAX11629 are available in 16-pin QSOP
packages. The MAX11632/MAX11633 are available in
24-pin QSOP packages. All six devices are specified over
the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Pin Description
Detailed Description
The MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 are
low-power, serial-output, multichannel ADCs with FIFO
capability for system monitoring, process-control, and
instrumentation applications. These 12-bit ADCs have
internal track and hold (T/H) circuitry supporting sin-
gleended inputs. Data is converted from analog voltage
sources in a variety of channel and data-acquisition
configurations. Microprocessor (μP) control is made easy
through a 3-wire SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible
serial interface.
Figure 2 shows a simplified functional diagram of the
MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 inter-
nal architecture. The MAX11632/MAX11633 have 16
single-ended analog input channels. The MAX11628/
MAX11629 have 8 single-ended analog input channels.
The MAX11626/MAX11627 have 4 single-ended analog
input channels.

Converter Operation
The MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 ADCs
use a successive-approximation register (SAR) conver-
sion technique and an on-chip T/H block to convert volt-
age signals into a 12-bit digital result. This single-ended
configuration supports unipolar signal ranges.
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-frequency signals
aliasing into the frequency band of interest.
Analog Input Protection
Internal ESD protection diodes clamp all pins to VDD and
GND, allowing the inputs to swing from (GND - 0.3V) to
(VDD + 0.3V) without damage. However, for accurate con-
versions near full scale, the inputs must not exceed VDD
by more than 50mV or be lower than GND by 50mV. If an
off-channel analog input voltage exceeds the supplies,
limit the input current to 2mA.
3-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 fea-
ture 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
MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 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. Results
are output in binary format.
Serial communication always begins with an 8-bit input
data byte (MSB first) loaded from DIN. A high-to-low tran-
sition on CS initiates 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. Tables 1–5 detail the register descriptions. Bits 5
and 4, 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 conversion start
and use it to request the programmed, internally 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 internally 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 specifications and how to begin a conversion.
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 opera-
tion. EOC goes high when CS or CNVST goes low. EOC
is always high in clock mode 11.
Single-Ended Inputs
The single-ended analog input conversion modes can be
configured by writing to the setup register (see Table 3).
Single-ended conversions are internally referenced to GND
(see Figure 3).
AIN0–AIN3 are available on the MAX11626–MAX11629/
MAX11632/MAX11633. AIN4–AIN7 are only available on
the MAX11628–MAX11633. AIN8–AIN15 are only avail-
able on the MAX11632/MAX11633. 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.
Unipolar
The MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633
always operate in unipolar mode. The analog inputs are
internally referenced to GND with a full-scale input range
from 0 to VREF.

True Differential Analog Input T/H
The equivalent circuit of Figure 3 shows the MAX11626–
MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633’s input architecture.
In track mode, a positive input capacitor is connected
to AIN0–AIN15. A negative input capacitor is connected
to GND. 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 con-
verted. The time required for the T/H to acquire an input
signal is determined by how quickly its input capacitance
is charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high,
the required acquisition time lengthens. The acquisition
time, tACQ, is the maximum time needed for a signal to
be acquired, plus the power-up time. It is calculated by the
following equation:
tACQ = 9 x (RS + RIN) x 24pF + tPWR
where RIN = 1.5kΩ, RS is the source impedance of the
input signal, and tPWR = 1μs, the power-up time of the
device. The varying power-up times are detailed in the
explanation of the clock mode conversions. When the
conversion is internally timed, tACQ is never less than
1.4μs, and any source impedance below 300Ω does
not significantly affect the ADC’s AC performance. A
high-impedance source can be accommodated either by
lengthening tACQ or by placing a 1μF capacitor between
the positive and negative analog inputs.
Internal FIFO
The MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 con-
tain a FIFO buffer that can hold up to 16 ADC results.
This allows the ADC to handle multiple internally clocked
conversions, without tying up the serial bus. If the FIFO is
filled and further conversions are requested without read-
ing 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.
Internal Clock
The MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 oper-
ate from an internal oscillator, which is accurate within
10% of the 4.4MHz nominal clock rate. The internal oscil-
lator 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.
Applications Information
Register Descriptions
The MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 com-
municate 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 2–5
show the various functions within the conversion register,
setup register, averaging register, and reset register.
Conversion Time Calculations
The conversion time for each scan is based on a number
of different factors: conversion time per sample, samples
per result, results per scan, and if the external reference
is in use.
Use the following formula to calculate the total conversion
time for an internally timed conversion in clock modes
00 and 10 (see the Electrical Characteristics section as
applicable):
Total Conversion Time = tCNV x nAVG x nRESULT + tRP
where
tCNV = tACQ (max) + tCONV (max).
nAVG = samples per result (amount of averaging).
nRESULT = number of FIFO results requested; deter-
mined by the number of channels being scanned or
by NSCAN1, NSCAN0.
tRP = internal reference wake-up; set to zero if inter-
nal reference is already powered up or external refer-
ence is being used.
In clock mode 01, the total conversion time depends on
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.

Conversion Register
Select active analog input channels per scan and scan
modes by writing to the conversion register. Table 2
details channel selection and the four scan modes.
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.
A conversion is not performed if it is requested on a chan-
nel that has been configured as CNVST. Do not request
conversions on channels 8–15 on the MAX11626–
MAX11629. Set CHSEL3:CHSEL0 to the lower channel’s
binary values.
Select scan mode 00 or 01 to return one result per single-
ended channel within the requested range. Select scan
mode 10 to scan a single input channel numerous times,
depending on NSCAN1 and NSCAN0 in the averaging
register (Table 4). Select scan mode 11 to return only one
result from a single channel.
Setup Register
Write a byte to the setup register to configure the clock,
reference, and power-down modes. Table 3 details the
bits in the setup register. Bits 5 and 4 (CKSEL1 and
CKSEL0) control the clock mode, acquisition and sam-
pling, and the conversion start. Bits 3 and 2 (REFSEL1
and REFSEL0) control internal or external reference use.
Averaging Register
Write to the averaging register to configure the ADC to
average up to 32 samples for each requested result, and
to independently control the number of results requested
for single-channel scans.
Table 2 details the four scan modes available in the con-
version register. All four scan modes allow averaging as
long as the AVGON bit, bit 4 in the averaging register, is
set to 1. Select scan mode 10 to scan the same channel
multiple times. Clock mode 11 disables averaging.
Reset Register
Write to the reset register (as shown in Table 5) to clear
the FIFO or to reset all registers to their default states.
Set the RESET bit to 1 to reset the FIFO. Set the reset bit
to zero to return the MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/
MAX11633 to the default power-up state.

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 oscillator.
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 MAX11626–MAX11629/
MAX11632/MAX11633 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 inter-
face. EOC stays low until CS or CNVST is pulled low again.
Do not initiate a second CNVST before EOC goes low;
otherwise, the FIFO can become corrupted.
Externally Timed Acquisitions and
Internally Timed Conversions with CNVST
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 01 In clock
mode 01, conversions are requested one at a time using
CNVST and performed automatically using the internal
oscillator. See Figure 5 for clock mode 01 timing.
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 the internal ref-
erence needs to wake up, an additional 65μs is required
for the internal reference to power up.
Set CNVST high to begin a conversion. After the conver-
sion 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 performed
to generate an averaged FIFO result, as specified by the
averaging register, the scan logic automatically switches
the analog input multiplexer to the next-requested chan-
nel. The result is available on DOUT once EOC has been
pulled low.

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 performed
automatically using the internal oscillator. This is the
default clock mode upon power-up. See Figure 6 for clock
mode 10 timing.
Initiate a scan by writing a byte to the conversion register.
The MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 then
power 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. EOC stays low until CS is pulled low again.
Externally Clocked Acquisitions and
Conversions Using the Serial Interface
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 11
In clock mode 11, acquisitions and conversions are initiat-
ed by writing to the conversion register and are performed
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 conversion. 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 eight 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.
If reference mode 00 is requested, wait 65μs with CS high
after writing the conversion byte to extend the acquisition
and allow the internal reference to power up.
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 rest of the entry
is lost. The remaining data in the FIFO is uncorrupted
and can be read out normally after taking CS low again,
as long as the 4 leading bits (normally 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 previously written values. If CS
is pulled low before EOC goes low, a conversion cannot
be completed and the FIFO is corrupted.
Transfer Function
Figure 8 shows the unipolar transfer function. Code tran-
sitions occur halfway between successive-integer LSB
values. Output coding is binary, with 1 LSB = VREF/2.5V
(MAX11627/MAX11629/MAX11633) and 1 LSB =
VREF/4.096V (MAX11626/MAX11628/MAX11632).
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use PCBs. 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 par-
allel to one another or run digital lines underneath the
MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 package.
High-frequency noise in the VDD power supply can affect
performance. Bypass the VDD supply with a 0.1μF capac-
itor to GND, close to the VDD pin. Minimize capacitor lead
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.

Denitions
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
MAX11626–MAX11629/MAX11632/MAX11633 is mea-
sured using the end-point method.
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 miss-
ing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in
the time between the samples.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay (tAD) is the time between the rising 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 quantization
error (residual error). The ideal, theoretical minimum ana-
log-to-digital noise is caused by quantization error only
and results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):
SNR = (6.02 x N + 1.76)dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantiza-
tion 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 fundamental, the first five
harmonics, and the DC offset.
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:
SINAD (dB) = 20 x log (SignalRMS/NoiseRMS)
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 fullscale
range of the ADC, calculate the effective number of bits
as follows:
ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76)/6.02
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of the first five harmonics of the input signal to the
fundamental itself. This is expressed as:
()
2222
2 3 4 51
THD 20 x log V V V V /V

= +++


where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2–V5 are
the amplitudes of the first five harmonics.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
Spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is the ratio of the
RMS amplitude of the fundamental (maximum signal
component) to the RMS value of the next-largest distor-
tion component.
