High-Speed Parallel DSP Interface
MAX125/MAX126
The MAX125/MAX126 are high-speed, multichannel,
14-bit data-acquisition systems (DAS) with simultaneous
track/holds (T/Hs). These devices contain a 14-bit, 3µs,
successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter
(ADC), a +2.5V reference, a buffered reference input,
and a bank of four simultaneous-sampling T/H ampli-
fiers that preserve the relative phase information of the
sampled inputs. The MAX125/MAX126 have two multi-
plexed inputs for each T/H, allowing a total of eight
inputs. In addition, the converter is overvoltage tolerant
to ±17V; a fault condition on any channel will not harm
the IC. Available input ranges are ±5V (MAX125) and
±2.5V (MAX126).
An on-board sequencer converts one to four channels
per
CONVST
pulse. In the default mode, one T/H output
(CH1A) is converted. An interrupt signal (INT) is provided
after the last conversion is complete. Convert two,
three, or four channels by reprogramming the
MAX125/MAX126 through the bidirectional parallel
interface. Once programmed, the MAX125/MAX126
continue to convert the specified number of channels
per
CONVST
pulse until they are reprogrammed. The
channels are converted sequentially, beginning with
CH1. The
INT
signal always follows the end of the last
conversion in a conversion sequence. The ADC con-
verts each assigned channel in 3µs and stores the
result in an internal 14x4 RAM. Upon completion of the
conversions, data can be accessed by applying suc-
cessive pulses to the
RD
pin. Four successive reads
access four data words sequentially.
The parallel interface’s data-access and bus-release
timing specifications are compatible with most popular
digital signal processors and 16-bit/32-bit microproces-
sors, so the MAX125/MAX126 conversion results can
be accessed without resorting to wait states.

TC = [∆REFOUT/REFOUT] /

Defined as the change in positive full scale caused by a ±5% variation in the nominal supply voltage. Tested with one input

REFIN

Note 13:
The data-access time is defined as the time required for an output to cross 0.8V or 2.0V. It is measured using the circuit of
Figure 1. The measured number is then extrapolated back to determine the value with a 25pF load.
Note 14:
The bus-relinquish time is derived from the measured time taken for the data outputs to change 0.5V when loaded with the
circuit of Figure 1. The measured number is then extrapolated back to remove the effects of charging/discharging the 120pF
capacitor. Thus, the time given is the part’s true bus-relinquish time, independent of the external bus loading capacitance.
