A 1 written to the reset alarm CH_ clears the alarm, oth-
erwise no action occurs (Table 10). Deassert INT by
clearing all alarms or by initiating an SMBus alert during
an alarm condition (see the
SMBus Alert
section)
The Delay 2, Delay 1, and Delay 0 bits set the speed of
monitoring by changing the delay between conver-
sions. Delay 2, 1, and 0 = 000 sets the maximum possi-
ble speed; 001 divides the maximum speed by
approximately 2. Increasing delay values further
divides the previous speed by two (Table 11).
INT_EN controls the open-drain INT output. Set INT_EN
to 1 to enable the hardware interrupt. Set INT_EN to 0
to disable the hardware interrupt output. The INT output
is high impedance when disabled or when there are no
alarms. The master can also poll the alarm status regis-
ter at any time to check the alarm status.
Repeat clocking channel threshold data up to the chan-
nel programmed by CS1 and CS0 (Table 12). For differ-
ential input mode, omit odd channels; the lower and
upper threshold data applies to channel pairs. There is
no need to clock in dummy data for odd (or even)
channels (Table 6).

When using delay = [0,0,0] in internal reference mode and
AIN3/REF configured as a REF output, the MAX1361/MAX1362
may exhibit a code-dependant gain error due to insufficient
internal reference drive. Gain error caused by this phenomenon
is typically less than 1%FSR (0.1µF C
REF
in series with a 2k
Ω
resistor) and increases with a larger C
REF
. Avoid this gain error
by using an external reference, V
DD
, as a reference or use an
internal reference with AIN3/REF as an analog input (see Table
4). Alternatively, choose delay bits other than [0,0,0] to lower the
conversion rate.

MAX1361/MAX1362
To disable alarming on a specific channel, set the lower
threshold to 0x800 and the upper threshold to 0x7FF for
bipolar mode, or set the lower threshold to 0x000 and
the upper threshold to 0xFFF for unipolar mode.
Readback Mode
Select readback mode by setting CS3, CS2 to [1,1] in
the configuration byte. Begin a read operation to start
reading back monitor-setup data. Clock out delay bit
settings, INT_EN bit, and the lower and upper thresh-
olds programmed for each channel. Readback mode
follows exactly the same format as writing to the moni-
tor-setup data, with the exception of the first 4 alarm-
reset bits, which are always 1 (Table 13).
Reading in Monitor Mode
Reading in monitor mode reads back the alarm-status
register, latched-fault register, and current-conversion
results as shown in Table 14.
The MAX1361/MAX1362 register pointer loops back to
the beginning of the current-conversion result after
reading the last conversion result. Stop reading at any
time by asserting a STOP condition or NACK.
Note: The MAX1361/MAX1362 do not update the current-
conversion results register while reading in monitor mode.
Monitor mode resumes after a STOP condition or NACK.
Alarm-Status Register
The latched-fault register records a snapshot of the
alarming channel at the instance that a fault condition is
asserted. An alarm-status bit of 1 (Table 15) indicates a
fault, and the data in the latched-fault register of the
corresponding channel contains the conversion result
that caused the alarm to trip. Resetting alarms does not
clear the latched-fault register, thus the latched-fault
register contains valid data only if an alarm status bit is
high for the given channel.
The current-conversion register contains the most
recent conversion results. If the user attempts to read
past the last result of the current-conversion register,
the MAX1361/MAX1362 wraps back to the beginning of
the current-conversion result.
The latched-fault register and current-conversion regis-
ter follow the data format detailed in Tables 8 and 16.
Register length depends on the number of conversions
in one monitoring sequence. For example, when chan-
nel pairs 0/1 and channels 2/3 are monitored differential-
ly, there are only two conversion results to report. The
latched-fault register is 2 x 16 bits long, after which two
current-conversion results follow. Likewise, if CS0 and
CS1 limit the upper bound of the channel scan range
from CH0 to CH2 in single-ended mode, the latched-
fault register clocks out 3 x 16 bits of data followed by
the current-conversion results, also 3 x 16 bits.

Resetting Alarm
Reset alarms by writing to monitor-setup data. See the

section and Table 10.
SMBus Alert
The SMBus-alert feature provides a quick method to
identify alarming devices on a shared interrupt. Upon
receiving an interrupt signal, the host µC can broadcast
a receive byte request to the alert-response slave
address (0001100). Any slave device that generated an
interrupt attempts to identify itself by putting its own
address on the bus. The alert response can activate
several different slave devices simultaneously. If more
than one slave attempts to respond, bus arbitration
rules apply, and the device with the lower address wins
as a consequence of the open-collector bus. The losing
device does not generate an acknowledgement and
continues to hold the alert line low until serviced.
Successful reading of the alert response address de-
asserts INT.
The MAX1361/MAX1362 resume monitoring after clean-
ing an alarm-status register. INT may immediately re-
assert if a fault is still present, or if the alarm register
has not been thoroughly cleared.
Transfer Functions
Output data coding for the MAX1361/MAX1362 is bina-
ry in unipolar mode and two’s complement in bipolar
mode with 1 LSB = V
REF
/2
N
, where N is the number of
bits. Code transitions occur halfway between succes-
sive-integer LSB values. Figures 14 and 15 show the
transfer functions for unipolar and bipolar operations,
respectively.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
Only use PC boards. Wire-wrap configurations are not
recommended since the layout should ensure proper
separation of analog and digital traces. Do not run ana-
log and digital lines parallel to each other, and do not
layout digital signal paths underneath the ADC pack-
age. Use separate analog and digital PC board ground
sections with only one star point (Figure 16).
High-frequency noise in the power supply (V
DD
) could
influence the proper operation of the ADC’s fast com-
parator. Bypass V
DD
to the star ground with a network of
two parallel capacitors, 0.1µF and 4.7µF, located as
close as possible to the MAX1361/MAX1362 power sup-
ply. Minimize capacitor lead length for best supply noise
rejection. For extremely noisy supplies, add an attenua-
tion resistor (5Ω) in series with the power supply.
Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity
Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values
on an actual transfer function from a straight line. This
straight line can be either a best straight-line fit or a line
drawn between the endpoints of the transfer function,
once offset and gain errors have been nullified. The
