General Description
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.
The MAX1231 is available in 28-pin 5mm x 5mm TQFN
with exposed pad and 24-pin QSOP packages. The
MAX1227/MAX1229 are only available in QSOP pack-
ages. All three devices are specified over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Tested at V

= +2.7V, unipolar input mode.
Offset nulled.
Time for reference to power up and settle to within 1 LSB.
Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles multiplied by the clock period; clock has 50% duty cycle.
The operational input voltage range for each individual input of a differentially configured pair is from GND to V
DD
. The
operational input voltage difference is from -V
REF
/2 to +V
REF
/2.

sec-
tion.
Fast automated test, excludes self-heating effects.
When CNVST is configured as a digital input, do not apply a voltage between V
IL
and V
IN
.
Supply current is specified depending on whether an internal or external reference is used for voltage conversions.
Temperature measurements always use the internal reference.
