Data Byte (Read Cycle)
A read cycle must be initiated to obtain conversion
results. Read cycles begin with the bus master issuing
a START condition followed by 7 address bits and a
read bit (R/W = 1). If the address byte is successfully
received, the MAX11600–MAX11605 (slave) issue an
acknowledge. The master then reads from the slave.
After the master has received the results, it can issue
an acknowledge if it wants to continue reading or a not
acknowledge if it no longer wishes to read. If the
MAX11600–MAX11605 receive a not acknowledge,
they release SDA, allowing the master to generate a
STOP or repeated START. See the
Clock Mode
and
Scan Mode
sections for detailed information on how
data is obtained and converted.
Clock Mode
The clock mode determines the conversion clock, the
acquisition time, and the conversion time. The clock
mode also affects the scan mode. The state of the
setup byte’s CLK bit determines the clock mode (Table
1). At power-up, the MAX11600–MAX11605 default to
internal clock mode (CLK = zero).
Internal Clock
When configured for internal clock mode (CLK = zero),
the MAX11600–MAX11605 use their internal oscillator
as the conversion clock. In internal clock mode, the
MAX11600–MAX11605 begin tracking analog input on
the ninth falling clock edge of a valid slave address
byte. Two internal clock cycles later, the analog signal
is acquired and the conversion begins. While tracking
and converting the analog input signal, the
MAX11600–MAX11605 hold SCL low (clock stretching).
After the conversion completes, the results are stored in

random access memory (RAM). If the scan mode is set
for multiple conversions, they all happen in succession
with each additional result being stored in RAM. The
MAX11600/MAX11601 contain 8 bytes of RAM, the
MAX11602/MAX11603 contain 8 bytes of RAM, and the
MAX11604/MAX11605 contain 12 bytes of RAM. Once
all conversions are complete, the MAX11600–
MAX11605 release SCL, allowing it to be pulled high.
The master can now clock the results out of the output
shift register at a clock rate of up to 1.7MHz. SCL is
stretched for a maximum acquisition and conversion
time of 7.6µs per channel (Figure 10).
The device RAM contains all of the conversion results
when the MAX11600–MAX11605 release SCL. The con-
verted results are read back in a first-in-first-out (FIFO)
sequence. If AIN_/REF is set to be a reference input or
output (SEL1 = 1, Table 6), AIN_/REF is excluded from
a multichannel scan. This does not apply to the
MAX11602/MAX11603 as each provides separate pins
for AIN7 and REF. RAM contents can be read continu-
ously. If reading continues past the last result stored in
RAM, the pointer wraps around and points to the first
result. Note that only the current conversion results are
read from memory. The device must be addressed with
a read command to obtain new conversion results.
The internal clock mode’s clock stretching quiets the
SCL bus signal, reducing the system noise during con-
version. Using the internal clock also frees the master
(typically a microcontroller) from the burden of running
the conversion clock.
External Clock
When configured for external clock mode (CLK = 1),
the MAX11600–MAX11605 use SCL as the conversion
clock. In external clock mode, the MAX11600–
MAX11605 begin tracking the analog input on the sev-
enth falling clock edge of a valid slave address byte.
One SCL clock cycle later, the analog signal is
acquired and the conversion begins. Unlike internal
clock mode, converted data is available immediately
after the slave-address acknowledge bit. The device
continuously converts input channels dictated by the
scan mode until given a not acknowledge. There is no
need to re-address the device with a read command to
obtain new conversion results (Figure 11).
The conversion must complete in 9ms or droop on the
T/H capacitor degrades conversion results. Use internal
clock mode if the SCL clock period exceeds 1ms.
The MAX11600–MAX11605 must operate in external
clock mode for conversion rates up to 188ksps.
Scan Mode
SCAN0 and SCAN1 of the configuration byte set the
scan-mode configuration. Table 5 shows the scanning
configurations. If AIN_/REF is set to be a reference input
or output (SEL1 = 1, Table 6), AIN_/REF is excluded
from a multichannel scan. This does not apply to the
MAX11602/MAX11603 as each provides separate pins
for AIN7 and REF.

Applications Information
Power-On Reset
The configuration and setup registers (Tables 1 and 2)
default to a single-ended, unipolar, single-channel con-
version on AIN0 using the internal clock with V
DD
as the
reference and AIN_/REF (MAX11600/MAX11601/
MAX11604/MAX11605) configured as an analog input.
For the MAX11602/MAX11603, the REF pin is floating
after power-up. The RAM contents are unknown after
power-up.
Automatic Shutdown
SEL[2:0] of the setup byte (Tables 1 and 6) controls the
state of the reference and AIN_/REF (MAX11600/
MAX11601/MAX11604/MAX11605) or REF (MAX11602/
MAX11603). If automatic shutdown is selected (SEL[2:0] =
100), shutdown occurs between conversions when the
MAX11600–MAX11605 are idle. When operating in exter-
nal clock mode, a STOP condition must be issued to place
the devices in idle mode and benefit from automatic shut-
down. A STOP condition is not necessary in internal clock
mode to benefit from automatic shutdown because power-
down occurs once all contents are written to memory
(Figure 10). All analog circuitry is inactive in shutdown and
supply current is less than 1µA. The digital conversion
results are maintained in RAM during shutdown and are
available for access through the serial interface at any
time prior to a STOP or repeated START condition.
When idle, the MAX11600–MAX11605 wait for a START
condition followed by their slave address (see the
Slave Address
section). Upon reading a valid address
byte, the MAX11600–MAX11605 power up. The analog
circuits do not require any wakeup time from shutdown,
whether using external or internal reference.
Automatic shutdown results in dramatic power savings,
particularly at slow conversion rates. For example, at a
conversion rate of 10ksps, the average supply current
for the MAX1036 is 8µA and drops to 2µA at 1ksps.
At 0.1ksps the average supply current is just 1µA (see
Average Supply Current vs. Conversion Rate in the
Typical Operating Characteristics
section).
Reference Voltage
SEL[2:0] of the setup byte (Table 1) controls the refer-
ence and the AIN_/REF (MAX11600/MAX11601/
MAX11604/MAX11605) or REF (MAX11602/MAX11603)
configuration (Table 6). When AIN_/REF (MAX11600/
MAX11601/MAX11604/MAX11605) is configured to be
a reference input or reference output (SEL1 = 1), con-
versions on AIN_/REF appear as if AIN_/REF is con-
nected to GND (see note 2 of Tables 3 and 4).
Internal Reference
The internal reference is 4.096V for the MAX11600/
MAX11602/MAX11604 and 2.048V for the MAX11601/
MAX11603/MAX11605. SEL1 of the setup byte controls
whether AIN_/REF (MAX11600/MAX11601/MAX11604/
MAX11605) is used for an analog input or a reference
(Table 6). When AIN_/REF (MAX11600/MAX11601/
MAX11604/MAX11605) or REF (MAX11602/MAX11603) is
configured to be an internal reference output (SEL[2:1] =
11), decouple AIN_/REF (MAX11600/MAX11601/
MAX11604/MAX11605) or REF (MAX11602/MAX11603)
to GND with a 0.01µF capacitor. Due to the decoupling
capacitor and the 675 reference source impedance,
allow 80µs for the reference to stabilize during initial
power-up. Once powered up, the reference always
remains on until reconfigured. The reference should not
be used to supply current for external circuitry. When the
MAX11602/MAX11603 is in shutdown, the internal refer-
ence output is in a high-impedance state.
