Internal Clock Mode
Select internal clock mode to release the µP from the
burden of running the SAR conversion clock. To select
this mode, bit D7 of the control byte must be set to 1
and bit D6 must be set to 0. The internal clock frequen-
cy is then selected, resulting in a 3.6µs conversion time.
When using the internal clock mode, connect the CLK
pin either high or low to prevent the pin from floating.
External Clock Mode
To select the external clock mode, bits D6 and D7 of the
control byte must be set to one. Figure 6 shows the clock
and WR timing relationship for internal (Figure 6a) and
external (Figure 6b) acquisition modes with an external
clock. Proper operation requires a 100kHz to 7.6MHz
clock frequency with 30% to 70% duty cycle. Operating
the MAX1090/MAX1092 with clock frequencies lower
than 100kHz is not recommended, because it causes a
voltage droop across the hold capacitor in the T/H stage,
which results in degraded performance.

MAX1090/MAX1092
Digital Interface
Input (control byte) and output data are multiplexed on
a three-state parallel interface. This parallel interface
(I/O) can easily be interfaced with standard µPs. The
signals CS, WR, and RD control the write and read
operations. CS represents the chip-select signal, which
enables a µP to address the MAX1090/MAX1092 as an
I/O port. When high, CS disables the CLK, WR, and RD
inputs and forces the interface into a high-impedance
(high-Z) state.
Input Format
The control byte is latched into the device on pins D7–
D0 during a write command. Table 2 shows the control
byte format.
Output Format
The output format for the MAX1090/MAX1092 is binary in
unipolar mode and two’s complement in bipolar mode.
When reading the output data, CS and RD must be low.
When HBEN = 0, the lower 8 bits are read. With HBEN =
1, the upper 2 bits are available and the output data bits
D7–D2 are set either low in unipolar mode or to the value
of the MSB in bipolar mode (Table 5).

___________Applications Information
Power-On Reset
When power is first applied, internal power-on reset cir-
cuitry activates the MAX1090/MAX1092 in external
clock mode and sets INT high. After the power supplies
stabilize, the internal reset time is 10µs, and no conver-
sions should be attempted during this phase. When
using the internal reference, 500µs are required for
V
REF
to stabilize.
Internal and External Reference
The MAX1090/MAX1092 can be used with an internal
or external reference voltage. An external reference
can be connected directly to REF or REFADJ.
An internal buffer is designed to provide +2.5V at REF
for both devices. The internally trimmed +1.22V refer-
ence is buffered with a +2.05V/V gain.
Internal Reference
The full-scale range with the internal reference is +2.5V
with unipolar inputs and ±1.25V with bipolar inputs. The
internal reference buffer allows for small adjustments
(±100mV) in the reference voltage (Figure 7).
Note: The reference buffer must be compensated with an
external capacitor (4.7µF min) connected between REF
and GND to reduce reference noise and switching spikes
from the ADC. To further minimize reference noise, con-
nect a 0.01µF capacitor between REFADJ and GND.
External Reference
With the MAX1090/MAX1092, an external reference can
be placed at either the input (REFADJ) or the output
(REF) of the internal reference-buffer amplifier.
Using the REFADJ input makes buffering the external
reference unnecessary. The REFADJ input impedance
is typically 17k.
When applying an external reference to REF, disable
the internal reference buffer by connecting REFADJ to
V
DD
. The DC input resistance at REF is 25k.
Therefore, an external reference at REF must deliver up
to 200µA DC load current during a conversion and
have an output impedance less than 10. If the refer-
ence has higher output impedance or is noisy, bypass
it close to the REF pin with a 4.7µF capacitor.
Power-Down Modes
To save power, place the converter in a low-current
shutdown state between conversions. Select standby
mode or shutdown mode using bits D6 and D7 of the
control byte (Tables 1 and 2). In both software power-
down modes, the parallel interface remains active, but
the ADC does not convert.
Standby Mode
While in standby mode, the supply current is 1mA (typ).
The part powers up on the next rising edge on WR and
is ready to perform conversions. This quick turn-on time
allows the user to realize significantly reduced power
consumption for conversion rates below 400ksps.
Shutdown Mode
Shutdown mode turns off all chip functions that draw
quiescent current, reducing the typical supply current
to 2µA immediately after the current conversion is com-
pleted. A rising edge on WR causes the MAX1090/
MAX1092 to exit shutdown mode and return to normal
operation. To achieve full 10-bit accuracy with a 4.7µF
reference bypass capacitor, 500µs is required after
power-up. Waiting 500µs in standby mode, instead of in
full-power mode, can reduce power consumption by a
factor of 3 or more. When using an external reference,
