ACQUISITION SYSTEM
MAXREFDES74# System Board
Introduction
The MAXREFDES74# reference design performs high-speed, 18-bit, precision data
acquisition based on Maxim's leading-edge, high-accuracy, low-power data converters.
The MAXREFDES74# design works as a building block for a high-speed, low-power,
high-accuracy data acquisition and control system for industrial process control and
automation, and high-speed protection systems for power distribution and automation.
By changing the ADC and DAC to pin-compatible 16-bit devices such as the MAX11166
and the MAX5316, a 16-bit data acquisition system can also be tested.

    • Single 5V supply • True bipolar ±5V input range MAX5318 • 18-bit resolution with no missing codes • High accuracy: ±2 LSB INL (max) • 3µs settling time • User-programmable offset and gain calibration • ±0.5ppm/°C (typ) offset and gain drift over temperature •...
  • Page 4: Adc Input Configuration

    The voltage reference (V ) for both the ADC and DAC comes from the selectable reference sources, which include the MAX6126, with 3ppm/°C, 0.02% initial accuracy in an 8-pin SO package, and the MAX6070, with 6ppm/°C, 0.04% initial accuracy in a 6-pin SOT23 package. The MAX11156 can use an internal V (default operation) or one of the external references.

    Figure 2. Default shunt positions. Power Supply The MAXREFDES74# board receives power from a single DC source of 15V to 20V, 300mA through a J1 power jack. The MAX13256, H-bridge driver and transformer create an additional negative rail for +20V and -20V. The power is then rectified and regulated down to a +15V and -15V supplies for the op amps, as well as into +5V and 3.3V V for V...
