MAX9257 Pin Description (continued)
Data Input/General Purpose Input/Output. When a serial-data word is less than 18 bits
word length, DIN_ not programmed as data input becomes GPIO (Table 22). DIN8 is
internally pulled down to ground.

3, 14 GND Digital Supply Ground
4 PD
LVCMOS/LVTTL Power-Down Input. Drive PD high to power up the device and enable all outputs.
Drive PD low to put all outputs in high impedance and reduce supply current. PD is internally pulled
down to ground.

11 ERROR
Active-Low, Open-Drain Error Output. ERROR asserts low to indicate a data transfer error was
detected (parity, PRBS, or UART control channel error). ERROR is high to indicate no error detected.
ERROR resets when the error registers are read for parity, control channel errors, and when PRBS
enable bit is reset for PRBS errors. Pull up to V
