The equivalent circuit of Figure 4 shows the input archi-
tecture of the MAX1277/MAX1279, which is composed
of a T/H, a comparator, and a switched-capacitor digi-
tal-to-analog converter (DAC). The T/H enters its track-
ing mode on the 14th SCLK rising edge of the previous
conversion. Upon power-up, the T/H enters its tracking
mode immediately. The positive input capacitor is con-
nected to AIN+. The negative input capacitor is con-
nected to AIN-. The T/H enters its hold mode on the
falling edge of CNVST and the difference between the
sampled positive and negative input voltages is convert-
ed. The time required for the T/H to acquire an input sig-
nal is determined by how quickly its input capacitance is
charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high,
the acquisition time lengthens. The acquisition time,
t
acquired. It is calculated by the following equation:
where R
the input signal.
Note: t
impedance below 12Ω does not significantly affect the
ADC’s AC performance.

signal bandwidth, making it possible to digitize high-
speed transient events and measure periodic
signals with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling
rate by using undersampling techniques. To avoid
high-frequency signals being aliased into the frequency
band of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.
Internal protection diodes that clamp the analog input
to V
from GND - 0.3V to V
inputs must not exceed V
accurate conversions.
Upon initial power-up, the MAX1277/MAX1279 require a
complete conversion cycle to initialize the internal cali-
bration. Following this initial conversion, the part is ready
for normal operation. This initialization is only required
after a hardware power-up sequence and is not required
after exiting partial or full power-down mode.
To start a conversion, pull CNVST low. At CNVST’s
falling edge, the T/H enters its hold mode and a conver-
sion is initiated. SCLK runs the conversion and the data
can then be shifted out serially on DOUT.
