________________Detailed Description
Converter Operation
The MAX1265/MAX1267 ADCs use a successive-
approximation (SAR) conversion technique and an input
track/hold (T/H) stage to convert an analog input signal
to a 12-bit digital output. This output format provides an
easy interface to standard microprocessors (µPs). Figure
2 shows the simplified internal architecture of the
MAX1265/MAX1267.
Single-Ended and
Pseudo-Differential Operation
The sampling architecture of the ADC’s analog com-
parator is illustrated in the equivalent input circuit in
Figure 3. In single-ended mode, IN+ is internally
switched to channels CH0–CH5 for the MAX1265
(Figure 3a) and to CH0–CH1 for the MAX1267 (Figure
3b), while IN- is switched to COM (Table 2). In differen-
tial mode, IN+ and IN- are selected from analog input
pairs (Table 3) and are internally switched to either of
