Statistics
The Minimum and Maximum fields in the statistics area
show the highest and lowest readings acquired. The
Average field shows a running mean. When reading
data manually by pressing the Read button, the
Average and RMS fields require approximately five
samples until they are accurately represented. The
Clear Statistics button resets the statistics. To remove
offset errors, first apply 0V to the active input channel,
press the Clear Statistics button, acquire some sam-
ples, and then check the Null Offset checkbox. Once
checked, the label next to the Null Offset checkbox
shows the sampled offset error. This value is subtracted
from all subsequent measurements until the checkbox
is unchecked.
Reference Voltage
The evaluation software assumes a +4.096V reference
voltage, unless otherwise specified. To override the
+4.096V reference value, apply the new reference volt-
age at the terminal block (TB0) on the board, type in
the new reference voltage (without the volt unit), and
press the Set V
ref
button.
Detailed Description
of Hardware
The MAX1272 is a 12-bit, multirange, serial ADC. When
the MAX1272EVKIT board is connected to the
68HC16MODULE-DIP module, power is provided by the
module. See Figure 2 (MAX1272 EV Kit Schematic).
The MAX1272 has a software-selectable internal
+4.096V reference. The terminal block (TB0) on the
MAX1272EVKIT board is for applications requiring an
external reference.
Evaluating the MAX1273
The MAX1272EVKIT board can also be used to evalu-
ate the MAX1273. The MAX1272 and the MAX1273 dif-
fer only in analog input voltage range. The MAX1272
has a software-selectable input voltage range of 0 to
+5V, 0 to +10V, ±5V and ±10V. The MAX1273 has a
software-selectable input voltage range of 0 to V
REF
/ 2,
0 to V
REF
, ±V
REF
/ 2, and ±V
REF
. Simply replace the
MAX1272CPA with the MAX1273CPA.
