max 1270

huib

Dear all,

At the monent I am working on a small project with uses an AD Converter MAX1270.

I have found different programs and schematic for this, but till now i was not able to get it working
If i look on the makers instruction i find a different layout than other on this forum

Can somebody indicates where i can find a (working) schema for the Max1270 with an bsxII

your assistance is highly appriciated

Regards

The MAX1270 is used in the Stamp_PLC, but, uncharacteristically, there is no schematic of that product available.

A·"bsxII"?· Is that a Parallax product or some knock-off?

Provide details.

No it is just a matter of typing to quick
It should have been BS2sx instead

however the question remains the same;

on certain schematic is mentioned that:
a) vdd / shdn to ground two (0.1 uF and 10 uF)
ref to ground one 4.7 uF
refadj to ground 0.1uF
b) vdd / shdn to ground one capacitor (0.1 uF)
ref to ground one 4.7 uF
refadj to ground 10 nF
and the 3rd
c) between shdn and cs a resistor of 4.7k
ref to ground 4.7 uF+
refadj to ground 0.1 uF
and from the makers MAXIM it looks like option b)

in all cases i get no data out of the max1270

(or did i just have killed the unit?)

so for that reason i was hoping to get a working schematic from somebody

kind regards

I look at the data sheet and it· look very much like the MAX186 in way you call up each channel
I just wrote a Demo code for it give this a try and let me know if this work
I order some free sample of the MAX1270 and I will them a try my self as well


·This table is the same for the MAX 186 part of what is posted below is from the MAX186 Data Sheet and

Example: Simple Software Interface

Make sure the CPU’s serial interface runs in master

mode so the CPU generates the serial clock. Choose a

clock frequency from 100kHz to 2MHz.

1) Set up the control byte for external clock mode, call

it TB1. TB1 should be of the format: 1XXXXX(11··<<<<........ Look at the table·^^ Above ^^·for )
