MAX1270/MAX1271
The MAX1270/MAX1271 are multirange, 12-bit data-
acquisition systems (DAS) that require only a single
+5V supply for operation, yet accept signals at their
analog inputs that can span above the power-supply
rail and below ground. These systems provide eight
analog input channels that are independently software
programmable for a variety of ranges: ±10V, ±5V, 0 to
+10V, 0 to +5V for the MAX1270; ±V
REF
, ±V
REF
/2, 0 to
V
REF
, 0 to V
REF
/2 for the MAX1271. This range switch-
ing increases the effective dynamic range to 14 bits and
provides the flexibility to interface 4–20mA, ±12V, and
±15V powered sensors directly to a single +5V system.
In addition, these converters are fault protected to
±16.5V; a fault condition on any channel will
not
affect
the conversion result of the selected channel. Other fea-
tures include a 5MHz bandwidth track/hold, software-
selectable internal/external clock, 110ksps throughput
rate, and internal 4.096V or external reference operation.
The MAX1270/MAX1271 serial interface directly
connects to SPI™/QSPI™ and MICROWIRE™ devices
without external logic.
A hardware shutdown input (SHDN) and two software-
programmable power-down modes, standby (STBYPD)
or full power-down (FULLPD), are provided for low-cur-
rent shutdown between conversions. In standby mode,
the reference buffer remains active, eliminating startup
delays.
The MAX1270/MAX1271 are available in 24-pin narrow
PDIP or space-saving 28-pin SSOP 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.
