General Description
The MAX5168 contains 32 sample/hold amplifiers and
four 1-of-8 multiplexers. The logic controlling the muxes
and sample/hold amplifiers combines the four muxes into
a unified 1-of-32 multiplexer with a sample/hold at each
output. Additional logic allows two devices to function as
a single 64-channel unit. The MAX5168 is available with
an output impedance of 50, 500, or 1k.
The MAX5168 operates with +10V and -5V supplies, and
a separate +5V digital logic supply. Manufactured with a
proprietary BiCMOS process, it provides high accuracy,
fast acquisition time, a low droop rate, and a low hold
step. The MAX5168 has a typical linearity error of less
than 0.01% and can accurately acquire 8V step input sig-
nals to 0.01% accuracy in 2.5µs within the +7V to -4V
input signal range. Transitions from sample mode to hold
mode result in only a 0.5mV error. While in hold mode, the
output voltage slowly droops at a rate of 1mV/s.
The MAX5168 is available in a 48-pin TQFP package and
is specified for both the commercial (0°C to +70°C) and
extended industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges.

Detailed Description
Digital Interface
The MAX5168 has three logic control inputs and five
address lines. The address lines are inputs to a demul-
tiplexer that selects one of the 32 outputs in a standard
addressing scheme (Table 1). The analog input is con-
nected to the addressed sample/hold when directed by
the control logic (Table 2).
The three logic control lines determine the state of the
addressed sample/hold. The normal circuit connection
for this device is to hardwire CONFIG and SELECT to
opposing logic voltages. When SELECT and CONFIG
are in opposite states (one high and the other low), the
five address lines select one of the sample/holds. Use
the S/H line to place the selected channel into sample
or hold mode. The other 31 channels will remain in hold
mode.
If an active-high sampling mode is desired, tie S/H and
CONFIG low. In this case, SELECT controls the
addressed channel with a high state putting that chan-
nel into sample mode.
The SELECT and CONFIG pins allow the design of a
virtual 64-channel device using two of the MAX5168s.
See the Applications Information section for more infor-
mation about 64-plus output addressing schemes.
Sample/Hold
The MAX5168 contains 32 buffered sample/hold circuits
with internal hold capacitors. Internal hold capacitors
minimize leakage current, dielectric absorption,
feedthrough, and required board space. The value of
the hold capacitor affects acquisition time and droop
rate. Smaller capacitance allows faster acquisition
times but increases the droop rate. Larger values
increase hold acquisition time. The hold capacitor used
in the MAX5168 provides fast 2.5µs (typ) acquisition
time while maintaining a relatively low 1mV/s (typ)
droop rate, making the sample/hold ideal for high-
speed sampling.
Sample Mode
When SELECT and CONFIG are in opposing logic states,
the S/H line controls the mode of operation. Sample mode
is entered when S/H is low. During sample mode, the

MAX5168
selected multiplexer channel connects to IN, allowing the
hold capacitor to acquire the input signal. To guarantee
an accurate sample, maintain sample mode for at least
4µs. The output of the sample/hold amplifier tracks the
input after 4µs. Only the addressed channel on the
selected multiplexer samples the input; all other channels
remain in hold mode.
Hold Mode
No matter what the condition of the other control lines,
S/H = high places the MAX5168 into an all-channel
hold mode. Hold mode disables the multiplexer and
disconnects all 32 sample/holds from the input. When a
channel is disconnected, the hold capacitor maintains
the sampled voltage at the output with a 1mV/s typical
droop rate (towards VDD).
Hold Step
When switching between sample mode and hold mode,
the voltage of the hold capacitor changes due to
charge injection from stray capacitance. This voltage
change, called a hold step, is minimized by limiting the
amount of stray capacitance seen by the hold capacitor.
The MAX5168 limits the hold step to 0.25mV (typ). An
output capacitor to ground can be used to filter out this
small hold-step error.
Output
The MAX5168 contains an output buffer for each multi-
plexer channel (32 total), so the hold capacitor sees a
high-impedance input that reduces the droop rate. The
capacitor droops at 1mV/s (typ) while in hold mode. The
buffer also provides a low output impedance; however,
the device contains output resistors in series with the
buffer output (Figure 1) for selected output filtering. To
provide greater design flexibility, the MAX5168 is avail-
able with an output impedance of 50, 500, or 1k.
Output loads increase the analog supply current (IDD
and ISS). Excessive loading of the output(s) drastically
increases power dissipation. Do not exceed the maximum
power dissipation specified in the Absolute Maximum
Ratings.
The resistor-divider formed by the output resistor (RO) and
load impedance (RL) scales the sampled voltage
(VSAMP). Determine the output voltage (VOUT_) as follows:
Voltage Gain = AV= RL/ (RL+ RO)
VOUT_ = VSAMP AV
The maximum output voltage range depends on the ana-
log supply voltages available and the scaling factor used:
(VSS + 0.75V) AVVOUT_ (VDD - 2.4V) AV
when RL= , then AV= 1, and this equation becomes
(VSS + 0.75V) VOUT (VDD - 2.4V)
Timing Definitions
Acquisition time (tAQ) is the time the MAX5168 must
remain in sample mode for the hold capacitor to
acquire an accurate sample. The hold-mode settling
time (tH) is the time necessary for the output voltage to
settle to its final value. Aperture delay (tAP) is the time
interval required to disconnect the input from the hold
capacitor. The hold pulse width (tPW) is the time the
MAX5168 must remain in hold mode while the address
is changed. Data setup time (tDS) is the time an
address must be maintained at the digital input pins
before the address becomes valid. Data hold time (tDH)
is the time an address must be maintained after the
device is placed in hold mode (Figure 2).
Applications Information
Multiplexing a DAC
Figure 3 shows a typical demultiplexer application.
Different digital codes are converted by the digital-to-
analog converter (DAC) and then stored on 32 different
channels of the MAX5168. The 40mV/s (max) droop
rate requires refreshing the hold capacitors every
250ms before the voltage droops by 1/2LSB for an 8-bit
DAC with a 5V full-scale voltage.
Virtual 64 Output Sample/Hold
Two MAX5168s can be configured to operate as a single
64 output sample/hold. The upper and lower addressed
devices are identified by CONFIG’s logic level. Connect
the CONFIG pin of the upper device low, making its
SELECT pin active high. Connect the CONFIG pin of the
lower device high to make the SELECT pin active low.
Figure 4 shows how to configure the devices.
The devices now use only six address lines and a sin-
gle S/H control to decode 64 outputs. Address lines
A0–A4 from the control logic connect to ADDR0–
ADDR4 on both of the 32-channel devices. The A5 line
toggles the SELECT pins of both devices to select the
active one. The device that has CONFIG tied high
responds to the lower 32 addresses (000000 through
011111). The device that has CONFIG grounded
responds to the upper 32 addresses (100000 through
111111).

Input Drive Requirements
The input of the MAX5168 feeds the inputs of 32 high-
impedance buffers. These buffers are what charge the
sample/hold capacitor through the multiplexer switch
resistance. The bias current of a selected buffer is
10µA, and this feeds into the 10pF input capacitance.
Figure 5 shows an equivalent input circuit. The bias cur-
rents of the other 31 sample and holds are very small in
comparison to the bias current of the selected channel.
Powering the MAX5168
The MAX5168 does not require a special power-up
sequence to avoid latchup. The device requires three
separate supply voltages for operation. However, when
one or two of the voltages are not available, DC-DC
charge-pump (switched-capacitor) converters provide
a simple, efficient solution. The MAX860 provides volt-
age doubling or inversion, ideal for conversions from
+5V to +10V or from +5V to -5V.
