SCL
= 1.7MHz. R
SOURCE
is calculated with the fol-
lowing equation:
where R
SOURCE
is the analog input source impedance,
f
SCL
is the maximum system SCL frequency, N is 14
(the number of bits of resolution), C
IN
is 35pF (the sum
of C
T/H
and input stray capacitance), and R
IN
is 800Ω
(the T/H switch resistances).
To improve the input-signal bandwidth under AC
conditions, drive AIN with a wideband buffer
(> 4MHz) that can drive the ADC’s input capacitance
and settle quickly (see the
Input Buffer
section).
An RC filter at AIN reduces the input track-and-hold
switching transient by providing charge for C
T/H
.
Analog Input Bandwidth
The MAX1069 features input-tracking circuitry with a
4MHz small-signal bandwidth. The 4MHz input band-
width makes it possible to digitize high-speed transient
events and measure periodic signals with bandwidths
exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by using under-
sampling techniques. Use anti-alias filtering to avoid
high-frequency signals being aliased into the frequency
band of interest.
Analog Input Range and Protection
Internal ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection diodes
clamp AIN, REF, and REFADJ to AV
DD
and
AGNDS/AGND (Figure 6). These diodes allow the ana-
log inputs to swing from (V
AGND
- 0.3V) to (V
AVDD
+
0.3V) without causing damage to the device. For accu-
rate conversions, the inputs must not go more than
50mV beyond their rails.
If the analog inputs exceed 300mV beyond their
rails, limit the current to 2mA.
Internal Clock
The MAX1069 contains an internal 4MHz oscillator that
drives the SAR conversion clock. During conversion, SCL
is held low (clock stretching). An internal register stores
data when the conversion is in progress. When the
MAX1069 releases SCL, the master reads the conversion
results at any clock rate up to 1.7MHz (Figure 11).
Digital Interface
The MAX1069 features an I
2
C-compatible, 2-wire serial
interface consisting of a bidirectional serial data line
(SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facili-
tate bidirectional communication between the
MAX1069 and the master at rates up to 1.7MHz. The
master (typically a microcontroller) initiates data trans-
fer on the bus and generates SCL.
SDA and SCL require pullup resistors (500Ω or greater,
Figure 4). Optional resistors (24Ω) in series with SDA
and SCL protect the device inputs from high-voltage
spikes on the bus lines. Series resistors also minimize
crosstalk and undershoot of the bus signals.
Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock
cycle. Nine clock cycles are required to transfer the
data into or out of the MAX1069. The data on SDA must
remain stable during the high period of the SCL clock
pulse as changes in SDA while SCL is high are control
signals (see the
START and STOP Conditions
section).
Both SDA and SCL idle high.
START and STOP Conditions
The master initiates a transmission with a START condi-
tion (S), a high-to-low transition on SDA with SCL high.
The master terminates a transmission with a STOP con-
dition (P), a low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL is
high (Figure 7). The STOP condition frees the bus and
places all devices in F/S mode (see the
Bus Timing
section). Use a repeated START condition (Sr) in place
).
