return to F/S mode. Use a repeated START condition
(Sr) in place of a STOP condition to leave the bus
active and the mode unchanged.

Software Description

Configuration/Setup Bytes (Write Cycle)

A write cycle begins with the bus master issuing a
START condition followed by 7 address bits and a write
bit (R/W = 0). If the address byte is successfully
received, the MAX1361/MAX1362 (slave) issue an
ACK. The master then writes to the slave. If the most
significant bit (MSB) is 1, the slave recognizes the
received byte as the setup byte (Table 4). If the MSB is
0, the slave recognizes that byte as the configuration
byte (Table 2). Write to the configuration byte before
writing to the setup byte (Figure 8). If enabling RESET
in the setup byte, rewrite the configuration byte after
writing the setup byte, since RESET clears the contents
of the configuration byte back to the power-up state.

When the monitor-setup bit of the setup byte is set to 1,
writing extends up to 13 bytes to clock in monitor-setup
data. Terminate writing monitor-setup data at any time
by issuing a STOP or repeated START condition. If the
slave receives a byte successfully, it issues an ACK
(Figure 9).

Note:

When operating in HS mode, a STOP condition

returns the bus into F/S mode (see the HS I

C Mode

section).

Automatic Shutdown

AutoShutdown occurs between conversions when the
MAX1361/MAX1362 are idle. When operating in exter-
nal clock mode, issue a STOP, NACK, or repeated
START condition to place the devices in idle mode and
benefit from automatic shutdown. A STOP condition is
not necessary in internal clock mode for automatic
shutdown because power-down occurs once all con-
versions are complete. Shutdown reduces supply cur-
rent to less than 0.5µA (external reference mode, typ)
and 300µA (internal reference mode, typ).

When idle, the MAX1361/MAX1362 continuously wait
for a START condition followed by their slave address.
Upon reading a valid address byte, the MAX1361/
MAX1362 power up. The internal reference requires
10ms to wake up. Therefore, power up the internal ref-
erence 10ms prior to conversion or leave the reference
continuously powered. Wake-up is transparent when
using an external reference or V

as the reference.

Automatic shutdown results in dramatic power savings,
particularly at slow conversion rates with internal clock.
For example, using an external reference at a conver-
sion rate of 10ksps, the average supply current for the
MAX1361 is 60µA (typ) and drops to 6µA (typ) at
1ksps. At 0.1ksps, the average supply current is just
1µA. Table 3 shows AIN3/REF configuration and refer-
ence power-down state.

Scan Modes

SCAN1 and SCAN0 of the configuration byte set the
scan-mode configuration. When configuring AIN3/REF
for reference input or output (SEL0 = 1), AIN3/REF is
excluded from a multichannel scan. The scanned
results write to memory in the same order as the con-
version. Start a conversion sequence by initiating a
read with the desired scan mode. Read the results from
memory in the order they were converted (see the
Reading a Conversion (Read Cycle) section).

Selecting channel scan mode [0,0] starts converting
from channel 0 up to the channel chosen by CS1, CS0.

Selecting channel scan mode [0,1] converts the chan-
nel selected by CS1, CS0 eight times and returns eight
consecutive results.

Selecting monitor mode [1,0] initiates a continuous con-
version scan sequence from channel 0 to the channel
selected by CS1, CS0. See the Monitor Mode section
for more details.

Selecting channel scan mode [1,1] performs a single
conversion on the channel selected by CS1, CS0 and
returns the result.
