1.8Msps, Single-Supply, Low-Power, True-
Differential, 10-Bit ADCs with Internal Reference
General Description
The MAX1076/MAX1078 are low-power, high-speed, seri-
al-output, 10-bit, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that
operate at up to 1.8Msps and have an internal reference.
These devices feature true-differential inputs, offering bet-
ter noise immunity, distortion improvements, and a wider
dynamic range over single-ended inputs. A standard
SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™ interface provides the clock
necessary for conversion. These devices easily interface
with standard digital signal processor (DSP) synchronous
serial interfaces.
The MAX1076/MAX1078 operate from a single +4.75V to
+5.25V supply voltage. The MAX1076/MAX1078 include
a 4.096V internal reference. The MAX1076 has a unipolar
analog input, while the MAX1078 has a bipolar analog
input. These devices feature a partial power-down mode
and a full power-down mode for use between conver-
sions, which lower the supply current to 2mA (typ) and
1µA (max), respectively. Also featured is a separate
power-supply input (V
L
), which allows direct interfacing to
+1.8V to V
DD
digital logic. The fast conversion speed,
low-power dissipation, excellent AC performance, and DC
accuracy (±0.5 LSB INL) make the MAX1076/MAX1078
ideal for industrial process control, motor control, and
base-station applications.
The MAX1076/MAX1078 come in a 12-pin TQFN pack-
age, and are available in the extended (-40°C to +85°C)
temperature range.

Note 1:
Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the gain error and the offset
error have been nulled.
Note 2:
No missing codes over temperature.
Note 3:
Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles (16) multiplied by the clock period.
Note 4:
At sample rates below 10ksps, the input full-linear bandwidth is reduced to 5kHz.
Note 5:
The listed value of three SCLK cycles is given for full-speed continuous conversions. Acquisition time begins on the 14th ris-
ing edge of SCLK and terminates on the next falling edge of CNVST. The IC idles in acquisition mode between conversions.
Note 6:
Undersampling at the maximum signal bandwidth requires the minimum jitter spec for SINAD performance.
Note 7:
Digital supply current is measured with the V
IH
level equal to V
L
, and the V
IL
level equal to GND.
