MAX1361/MAX1362
Power Supply
The MAX1361 (2.7V to 3.6V) and MAX1362 (4.5V to
5.5V) operate from a single supply and consume 670µA
(typ) at sampling rates up to 94.4ksps and 436µA in
monitor mode at 150ksps. The MAX1361 features a
2.048V internal reference and the MAX1362 features a
4.096V internal reference. All devices can be config-
ured for use with an external reference from 1V to V
DD
.

Analog Input and Track/Hold
The MAX1361/MAX1362 analog-input architecture con-
tains an analog-input multiplexer (MUX), fully differential
T/H, comparator, and a fully differential switched
capacitive digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Figure 3
shows the equivalent input circuit for the MAX1361/
MAX1362.
In single-ended mode, the analog-input MUX connects
C
T/H
between the analog input selected by CS[3:0] and
GND (see the
Configuration/Setup Bytes (Write Cycle)
section). In differential mode, the analog-input MUX
connects C
T/H
to the plus and minus analog inputs
selected by CS[3:0].
During the acquisition interval, the T/H switches are in
the track position, and C
T/H
charges to the analog-input
signal. At the end of the acquisition interval, the T/H
switches move to the hold position, retaining the charge
on C
T/H
as a stable sample of the input signal.
During the conversion, a switched capacitive DAC
adjusts to restore the comparator input voltage to 0V
within the limits of 10-bit resolution. This action requires
10 conversion clock cycles and is equivalent to trans-
ferring a charge of 11pF x (V
IN
+ - V
IN
-) from C
T/H
to the
binary-weighted capacitive DAC, forming a digital rep-
resentation of the analog-input signal.
Use a low source impedance to ensure an accurate
sample. A source impedance of up to 1.5kΩ does not
significantly degrade sampling accuracy. For larger
source impedances, connect a 100pF capacitor from
the analog input to GND or buffer the input.
In internal clock mode, the T/H circuitry enters track
mode on the eighth rising clock edge of the address
byte (see the
Slave Address
section). The T/H circuitry
enters hold mode on the falling clock edge of the
acknowledge bit of the address byte (the ninth clock
pulse). The conversions are then internally clocked, dur-
ing which time the MAX1361/MAX1362 hold SCL low.
In external clock mode, the T/H circuitry enters track
mode after a valid address on the rising edge of the
clock during the read bit (R/W = 1, bit 8). Hold mode is
entered on the rising edge of the second clock pulse
during the shifting out of the 1st byte of the result. The
next 10 clock cycles perform the conversions (see
Figure 13).
The time required for the T/H circuitry to acquire an
input signal is a function of the input sample capaci-
tance. If the analog-input source impedance is high,
the acquisition-time constant lengthens and more time
must be allowed between conversions. The acquisition
time (t
ACQ
) is the minimum time needed for the signal
to be acquired. It is calculated by:

Analog-Input Bandwidth
The MAX1361/MAX1362 feature input-tracking circuitry
with a 5MHz small-signal bandwidth. The 5MHz input
bandwidth makes it possible to digitize high-speed
transient events and measure periodic signals with
bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by
using undersampling techniques. To avoid high-fre-
quency signals from aliasing into the frequency band of
interest, use anti-aliasing filtering.
Analog-Input Range and Protection
Internal protection diodes clamp the analog inputs to V
DD
and GND. These diodes allow the analog inputs to swing
from (V
GND
- 0.3V) to (V
DD
+ 0.3V) without causing dam-
age to the device. For accurate conversions the inputs
must remain within 50mV below GND or above V
DD
.
Single-Ended/Differential Input
The SE/DIF of the configuration byte configures the
MAX1361/MAX1362 analog-input circuitry for single-
ended or differential input. In single-ended mode (SE/DIF
= 1), the digital conversion results are the difference
between the analog input selected by CS[3:0] and GND.
In differential mode (SE/DIF = 0), the digital conversion
results are the difference between the plus and the minus
analog inputs selected by CS[3:0] (see Tables 5 and 6).
Unipolar/Bipolar
Unipolar mode sets the differential input range from 0 to
V
REF
. A negative differential analog input in unipolar
mode causes the digital output code to be zero.
Selecting bipolar mode sets the differential input range
to ±V
REF
/2. The digital output code is binary in unipolar
mode and two’s complement in bipolar mode. (See the
Transfer Functions
section.)
In single-ended mode the MAX1361/MAX1362 always
operate in unipolar mode. The analog inputs are inter-
nally referenced to GND with a full-scale input range
from 0 to V
REF
(Table 7).
Reference
SEL[1:0] of the setup byte controls the reference and
the AIN3/REF configuration. When AIN3/REF is config-
ured as a reference input or reference output (SEL0 =
1), differential conversions on AIN3/REF appear as if
AIN3/REF is connected to GND. A single-ended conver-
sion in scan mode on AIN3/REF is ignored by an internal
limiter that sets the highest available channel at AIN2
(Table 2).
Internal Reference
The internal reference is 2.048V for the MAX1361 and
4.096V for the MAX1362. SEL0 of the setup byte con-
trols whether AIN3/REF is used for an analog input or a
reference (SEL0 = 0 selects AIN3/REF as AIN3, and
SEL0 = 1 selects AIN3/REF as REF). Decouple
AIN3/REF to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor and a 2kΩ
resistor in series when AIN3/REF is configured as an
internal reference output (SEL[1:0] = 11). See the
Typical Operating Circuit.
Once powered up, the refer-
ence remains on until reconfigured. Do not use the ref-
erence to supply current for external circuitry.
External Reference
The external reference ranges from 1V to V
DD
. For max-
imum conversion accuracy, the reference must deliver
40µA and have an impedance of 500Ω or less. For
noisy or high-output-impedance references, insert a
0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND as close to AIN3/REF
as possible.
Clock Modes
The clock mode determines the conversion clock and
the data acquisition and conversion time. The clock
mode also affects the scan mode. The state of the
setup byte’s INT/EXT clock bit determines the clock
mode. At power-up, the MAX1361/MAX1362 default to
internal clock mode (INT/EXT clock = 0).
Internal Clock
See the
Configuration/Setup Bytes (Write Cycle)
section.
In internal clock mode (INT/EXT clock = 0), the MAX1361/
MAX1362 use an internal oscillator for the conversion
clock. The MAX1361/MAX1362 begin tracking the analog
input after a valid address on the eighth rising edge of the
clock. On the falling edge of the ninth clock, the analog
signal is acquired and the conversion begins. While con-
verting, the MAX1361/MAX1362 hold SCL low (clock
stretching). After completing the conversion, the results
are stored in internal memory. For scan-mode configura-
tions with multiple conversions (see the
Scan Modes
sec-
tion), all conversions happen in succession with each
additional result stored in memory. Once all conversions
are complete, the MAX1361/MAX1362 release SCL,
allowing it to go high. The master can now clock the
results out in the same order as the scan conversion.
The converted results are read back in a FIFO
sequence. If AIN3/REF is configured as a reference
input or output, AIN3/REF is excluded from multichan-
nel scan. If reading continues past the final result
stored in memory, the pointer wraps around and points
to the first result. Only the current conversion results
are read from memory. The MAX1361/MAX1362 must

MAX1361/MAX1362
be addressed with a read command to obtain new con-
version results.
External Clock
See the
Configuration/Setup Bytes (Write Cycle)
section.
When configured for external clock mode (INT/EXT = 1),
the MAX1361/MAX1362 use SCL as the conversion clock.
In external clock mode, the MAX1361/MAX1362 begin
tracking the analog input on the eighth rising clock edge
of a valid slave address byte. Two SCL clock cycles later,
the analog signal is acquired and the conversion begins.
Unlike internal clock mode, converted data is clocked out
immediately in the format described in the
Reading a
Conversion (Read Cycle)
section.
The device continuously converts input channels dictat-
ed by the scan mode until given a not acknowledge
(NACK). There is no need to readdress the device with
a read command to obtain new conversion results.
The conversion must complete in 1ms or droop on the
T/H capacitor degrades conversion results. Use internal
clock mode if the SCL clock period exceeds 60µs.
Use external clock mode for conversion rates from
40ksps to 94.4ksps. Use internal clock mode for con-
versions under 40ksps. Internal clock mode consumes
less power. Monitor mode always uses internal clock
mode regardless of conversion rate.
Applications Section
Power-On Reset
The configuration and setup registers default to a sin-
gle-ended, unipolar, single-channel conversion on AIN0
using the internal clock with V
DD
as the reference and
AIN3/REF configured as an analog input. The memory
contents are unknown at power-up (see the
Software
Description

I
2
C-Compatible 2-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX1361/MAX1362 use an I
2
C-compatible 2-wire
interface consisting of a serial-data line (SDA) and seri-
al-clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate bidirectional
communication between the MAX1361/MAX1362 and
the master at rates up to 1.7MHz. The master (typically
a microcontroller) initiates data transfer on the bus and
generates the SCL signal to permit data transfer. The
MAX1361/MAX1362 behave as I
2
C slave devices that
transfer and receive data.
SDA and SCL must be pulled high for proper I
2
C opera-
tion. This is typically done with pullup resistors (750Ω or
greater). Series resistors (R
S
) are optional (see the
Typical Operating Circuit
section). The resistors protect
the input architecture of the MAX1361/MAX1362 from
high voltage spikes on the bus lines and minimize
crosstalk and undershoot of the bus signals.
One bit transfers during each SCL clock cycle. A mini-
mum of nine clock cycles is required to transfer a byte
in or out of the MAX1361/MAX1362 (8 bits and an
ACK/NACK). The data on SDA must remain stable dur-
ing the high period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in
SDA while SCL is high and stable are considered con-
trol signals (see the
START and STOP Conditions
sec-
tion). Both SDA and SCL remain high when the bus is
not busy.
START and STOP Conditions
The master initiates a transmission with a START condi-
tion (S), which is a high-to-low transition on SDA while
SCL is high. The master terminates a transmission with
a STOP condition (P), which is a low-to-high transition
on SDA while SCL is high (Figure 4). A repeated START
condition (Sr) can be used in place of a STOP condition
to leave the bus active and the mode unchanged (see
the
HS I
2
C Mode
section).
Acknowledge and Not-Acknowledge Conditions
Data transfers are framed with an acknowledge bit
(ACK) or a not-acknowledge bit (NACK). Both the mas-
ter and the MAX1361/MAX1362 (slave) generate
acknowledge bits. To generate an acknowledge, the
receiving device must pull SDA low before the rising
edge of the acknowledge-related clock pulse (ninth
pulse) and keep it low during the high period of the
clock pulse (Figure 5).
