The MAX125/MAX126 are high-speed, multichannel,14-bit data-acquisition systems (DAS) with simultaneoustrack/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 amplifiersthat preserve the relative phase information of thesampled inputs. The MAX125/MAX126 have two multiplexedinputs for each T/H, allowing a total of eightinputs. In addition, the converter is overvoltage tolerantto ±17V; a fault condition on any channel will not harmthe IC. Available input ranges are ±5V (MAX125) and±2.5V (MAX126).An on-board sequencer converts one to four channelsper active-low CONVST pulse. In the default mode, one T/H output(CH1A) is converted. An interrupt signal (active-low INT) is providedafter the last conversion is complete. Convert two,three, or four channels by reprogramming theMAX125/MAX126 through the bidirectional parallelinterface. Once programmed, the MAX125/MAX126continue to convert the specified number of channelsper active-low CONVST pulse until they are reprogrammed.The channels are converted sequentially, beginning withCH1. The INT signal always follows the end of the lastconversion in a conversion sequence. The ADC convertseach assigned channel in 3µs and stores theresult in an internal 14x4 RAM. Upon completion of theconversions, data can be accessed by applying successivepulses to the active-low RD pin. Four successive readsaccess four data words sequentially.The parallel interface's data-access and bus-releasetiming specifications are compatible with most populardigital signal processors and 16-bit/32-bit microprocessors,so the MAX125/MAX126 conversion results can beaccessed without resorting to wait states.ApplicationsDigital Signal Processing (DSP)Multiphase Motor ControlPower-Factor MonitoringPower-Grid SynchronizationVibration and Waveform Analysis

The MAX1602 DC power-switching IC contains a network of low-resistance MOSFET switches that deliver selectable VCC and VPP voltages to a single CardBus or PC Card host socket. Key features include low-resistance switches, small packaging, soft-switching action, and compliance with PCMCIA specifications for 3V/5V switching. 3.3V-only power switching for fast, 32-bit CardBus applications is supported in two ways: low-resistance 3.3V switches allow high 3.3V load currents (up to 1A); and completely independent internal charge pumps let the 3.3V switch operate normally, even if the +5V and +12V supplies are disconnected or turned off to conserve power. The internal charge pumps are regulating types that draw reduced input current when the VCC switches are static. Power consumption is automatically reduced to 11µA max when the outputs are high-Z or GND.Other key features include guaranteed specifications for output current limit level, and guaranteed specifications for output rise/fall times (in compliance with PCMCIA specifications). Reliability is enhanced by thermal-overload protection, accurate current limiting, an overcurrent-fault flag output, and undervoltage lock-outs. The CMOS/TTL-logic interface is flexible, and can tolerate logic input levels in excess of the positive supply rail.The MAX1602 fits a complete CardBus/PCMCIA switch into a space-saving, 16-pin QSOP package.ApplicationsData LoggingDocking StationsHandy TerminalsPCMCIA Read/Write Drives

The MAX2411A performs the RF front-end transmit/receive function in time-division-duplex (TDD) communication systems. It operates over a wide frequency range and is optimized for RF frequencies around 1.9GHz. Applications include most popular cordless and PCS standards. The MAX2411A includes a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a downconverter mixer, a local-oscillator buffer, an upconverter mixer, and a variable-gain power-amplifier (PA) driver in alow-cost, plastic surface-mount package. The MAX2411A's unique bidirectional, differential IF port reduces cost and component count by allowing the transmit and receive paths to share the same IF filter.The LNA has a 2.4dB typical noise figure and a -10dBm input third-order intercept point (IP3). The downconverter mixer has a low 9.2dB noise figure and 4dBm input IP3. Image and local-oscillator filtering are implemented off-chip for maximum flexibility. The PA driver amplifier has 15dB of gain, which can be reduced over a 35dB range. Power consumption is only 60mW in receive mode and 90mW in transmit mode and drops to less than 3µW in shutdown mode.For applications requiring separate, single-ended IF input and output ports, refer to the MAX2410 data sheet. For applications requiring only a receive function, Maxim offers a low-cost downconverter with LNA (see the MAX2406 data sheet).ApplicationsDCS1800 or PCS1900 Single-Mode PhonesDECTIridium HandsetsISM-Band TransceiverPHS/PACSPWT1900

The MAX2680/MAX2681/MAX2682 miniature, low-cost, low-noise downconverter mixers are designed for low-voltage operation and are ideal for use in portable communications equipment. Signals at the RF input port are mixed with signals at the local oscillator (LO) port using a double-balanced mixer.

These devices offer a wide range of supply currents and input intercept (IIP3) levels to optimize system performance. Additionally, each device features a low-power shutdown mode in which it typically draws less than 0.1µA of supply current.
