AutoShutdown Mode
The ADC automatically powers down on the SCLK
falling edge that clocks out the LSB. This is the falling
edge after the 13th SCLK. DOUT goes low when the
LSB has been clocked into the master (µC) on the 16th
rising SCLK edge.
Alternatively, drive OE high to force the MAX1392/
MAX1395 into power-down. Whenever OE goes high,
the ADC powers down and disables DOUT regardless
of CS, SCLK, or the state of the ADC. DOUT enters a
high-impedance state after tDOD.
External Reference
The MAX1392/MAX1395 use an external reference
between 0.6V and (VDD + 50mV). Bypass REF with a
0.1µF capacitor to GND for best performance (see the
Typical Operating Circuit).
Serial Interface
The MAX1392/MAX1395 serial interface is fully compati-
ble with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE (see Figure 7). If a
serial interface is available, set the µC’s serial interface
in master mode so the µC generates the serial clock.
Choose a clock frequency between 100kHz and 5MHz.
CS and OE can be connected together and driven
simultaneously. OE can also be connected to GND if the
DOUT bus is not shared and driven independently.
SPI and MICROWIRE
When using SPI or MICROWIRE, make the µC the bus
master and set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0 or CPOL = 1
and CPHA = 1. (These are the bits in the SPI or
MICROWIRE control register.) Two consecutive 1-byte
reads are required to get the entire 10-bit result from
the ADC. The MAX1392/MAX1395 shut down after
clocking the LSB and DOUT becomes high impedance.
DOUT transitions on SCLK’s falling edge and is
clocked into the µC on the SCLK’s rising edge. See
Figure 7 for connections and Figures 8 and 9 for timing
diagrams. The conversion result contains 4 zeros, fol-
lowed by the 10 data bits with the data in MSB-first for-
mat. When using CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0 or CPOL = 1
and CPHA = 1, the MSB of the data is clocked into the
µC on the SCLK’s fifth rising edge. To be compatible
with SPI and MICROWIRE, connect CS and OE togeth-
er and drive simultaneously.
QSPI
Unlike SPI, which requires two 1-byte reads to acquire
the 10 bits of data from the ADC, QSPI allows the mini-
mum number of clock cycles necessary to clock in the
data. The MAX1392/MAX1395 require a minimum of 14
clock cycles from the µC to clock out the 10 bits of
data. See Figure 7 for connections and Figures 8 and 9
for timing diagrams. The conversion result contains 4
zeros, followed by the 10 data bits with the data in
MSB-first format. The MAX1392/MAX1395 shut down
after clocking out the LSB. DOUT then becomes high
impedance. When using CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0 or
CPOL = 1 and CPHA = 1, the MSB of the data is
clocked into the µC on the SCLK’s fifth rising edge. To
be compatible with QSPI, connect CS and OE together
and drive simultaneously.
DSP Interface
Figure 10 shows the timing for DSP operation. Figure 11
shows the connections between the MAX1392/
MAX1395 and several common DSPs.
