__________________General Description
The MAX1240/MAX1241 low-power, 12-bit analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs) are available in 8-pin pack-
ages. The MAX1240 operates with a single +2.7V to
+3.6V supply, and the MAX1241 operates with a single
+2.7V to +5.25V supply. Both devices feature a 7.5µs
successive-approximation ADC, a fast track/hold
(1.5µs), an on-chip clock, and a high-speed, 3-wire ser-
ial interface.
Power consumption is only 37mW (V
DD
= 3V) at the
73ksps maximum sampling speed. A 2µA shutdown
mode reduces power at slower throughput rates.
The MAX1240 has an internal 2.5V reference, while the
MAX1241 requires an external reference. The MAX1241
accepts signals from 0V to V
REF
, and the reference
input range includes the positive supply rail. An exter-
nal clock accesses data from the 3-wire interface,
which connects directly to standard microcontroller I/O
ports. The interface is compatible with SPI™, QSPI™,
and MICROWIRE™.
Excellent AC characteristics and very low power com-
bined with ease of use and small package size make
these converters ideal for remote-sensor and data-
acquisition applications, or for other circuits with
demanding power consumption and space require-
ments. The MAX1240/MAX1241 are available in 8-pin
PDIP and SO packages.

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.

Note 2:
Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the full-scale range and
offset have been calibrated.
Note 3:
MAX1240—internal reference, offset nulled; MAX1241—external reference (V
REF
= +2.500V), offset nulled.
Note 4:
External load should not change during conversion for specified accuracy.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by design. Not subject to production testing.
Note 6:
Measured as [V

FS
(V

Note 7:
To guarantee acquisition time, t
ACQ
is the maximum time the device takes to acquire the signal, and is also the minimum
time needed for the signal to be acquired.
