20-Bit, Single-Channel, Ultra-Low-Power,
Delta-Sigma ADC with 2-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX11208 is an ultra-low-power (< 240FA active),
high-resolution, low-speed, serial-output ADC. This
device provides the highest resolution per unit power in
the industry and is optimized for applications that require
very high dynamic range with low power, such as sensors on a 4mA to 20mA industrial control loop.
The MAX11208 provides a high-accuracy internal oscillator, which requires no external components. When
used with the specified data rates, the internal digital
filter provides more than 80dB rejection of 50Hz or 60Hz
line noise. The MAX11208 provides a simple, systemfriendly, 2-wire serial interface in the space-saving,
10-pin FMAX package.
Power-On Reset (POR)
The MAX11208 utilizes power-on reset (POR) supplymonitoring circuitry on both the digital supply (DVDD)
and the analog supply (AVDD). The POR circuitry
ensures proper device default conditions after either a
digital or analog power-sequencing event.
Analog Inputs
The MAX11208 accepts two analog inputs (AINP and
AINN). The modulator input range is bipolar (-VREF to
+VREF).
Internal Oscillator
The MAX11208 incorporates a highly stable internal
oscillator that provides the system clock. The system
clock runs the internal state machine and is trimmed to
2.4576MHz (MAX11208A) or 2.2528MHz (MAX11208B).
The internal oscillator clock is divided down to run the
digital and analog timing.
Reference
The MAX11208 provides differential inputs REFP and
REFN, for an external reference voltage. Connect the
external reference directly across the REFP and REFN
to obtain the differential reference voltage. The commonmode voltage range for VREFP and VREFN is between 0
and VAVDD. The differential voltage range for REFP and
REFN is 1V to VAVDD.
Digital Filter
The MAX11208 performs a self-calibration operation as
part of the startup initialization sequence whenever a
digital POR is triggered. It is important to have a stable
reference voltage available at the REFP and REFN pins
to ensure an accurate calibration cycle. If the reference
voltage is not stable during a POR event, the part should
be calibrated once the reference has stabilized. The part
can be programmed for calibration by using 26 SCLKs
as shown in Figure 3.
The MAX11208 contains an on-chip, digital lowpass filter
that processes the 1-bit data stream from the modulator
using a SINC4 (sinx/x)4 response. When the device is
operating in single-cycle conversion mode, the filter is
reset at the end of the conversion cycle. When operating in continuous conversion latent mode, the filter is not
reset. The SINC4 filter has a -3dB frequency equal to
24% of the data rate.
The digital POR trigger threshold is approximately 1.2V
and has 100mV of hysteresis. The analog POR trigger
threshold is approximately 1.25V and has 100mV of hysteresis. Both POR circuits have lowpass filters that prevent high-frequency supply glitches from triggering the
POR. The analog supply (AVDD) and the digital supply
(DVDD) pins should be bypassed using 0.1FF capacitors placed as close as possible to the package pin.
The MAX11208 communicates through a 2-wire serial
interface with a clock input and data output. The output
rate is predetermined based on the package option
(MAX11208A at 120sps and MAX11208B at 13.75sps).
Serial-Digital Interface
2-Wire Interface
The MAX11208 is compatible with the 2-wire interface
and uses SCLK and RDY/DOUT for serial communications. In this mode, all controls are implemented by timing the high or low phase of the SCLK. The 2-wire serial
interface only allows for data to be read out through the
RDY/DOUT output. Supply the serial clock to SCLK to
shift the conversion data out.

Detailed Description
MAX11208
20-Bit, Single-Channel, Ultra-Low-Power,
Delta-Sigma ADC with 2-Wire Serial Interface
The RDY/DOUT is used to signal data ready, as well as
reading the data out when SCLK pulses are applied.
RDY/DOUT is high by default. The MAX11208 pulls RDY/
DOUT low when data is available at the end of conversion, and stays low until clock pulses are applied at SCLK
input; on applying the clock pulses at SCLK, the RDY/
DOUT outputs the conversion data on every SCLK positive edge. To monitor data availability, pull RDY/DOUT
high after reading the 20 bits of data by supplying a 25th
SCLK pulse. The different operational modes using this
2-wire interface are described in the following sections.
Data Read Following Every Conversion
The MAX11208 indicates conversion data availability,
as well as lets the retrieval of data through the RDY/
DOUT output. The RDY/DOUT output idles at the value
of the last bit read unless a 25th SCLK pulse is provided,
causing RDY/DOUT to idle high. RDY/DOUT is pulled low
when the conversion data is available.
The timing diagram for the data read is shown in Figure
1. Once a low is detected on RDY/DOUT, clock pulses
at SCLK clock out the data. Data is shifted out MSB first
and is in binary two’s complement format. Once all the
data has been shifted out, a 25th SCLK is required to
pull the RDY/DOUT output back to the idle high state.
See Figure 2.
If the data is not read before the next conversion data is
updated, the old data is lost, as the new data overwrites
the old value.
Data Read Followed by Self-Calibration
To initiate self-calibration at the end of a data read,
provide a 26th SCLK pulse. After reading the 24 bits of
conversion data, a 25th positive edge on SCLK pulls the
RDY/DOUT output back high, indicating the end of data
read. Provide a 26th SCLK pulse to initiate a self-calibration routine starting on the falling edge of the 26th SCLK.
A subsequent falling edge of RDY/DOUT indicates data
availability at the end of calibration. The timing is illustrated in Figure 3.
Data Read Followed by Sleep Mode
The MAX11208 can be put into sleep mode to save
power between conversions. To activate the sleep mode,
idle the SCLK high any time after the RDY/DOUT output
goes low (that is, after conversion data is available). It is
not required to read out all 20 bits before putting the part
in sleep mode. Sleep mode is activated after the SCLK is
held high (see Figure 4). The RDY/DOUT output is pulled
high once the device enters sleep mode. To come out
of the sleep mode, pull SCLK low. After the sleep mode
is deactivated (when the device wakes up), conversion
starts again and RDY/DOUT goes low indicating the next
conversion data is available. See Figure 4.
Single Conversion Mode
For operating the MAX11208 in single conversion mode,
activate and deactivate sleep mode between conversions (as described in the Data Read Followed by Sleep
Mode section). Single conversion mode reduces power
consumption by shutting down the device when idle
between conversions. See Figure 4.
Single Conversion Mode with
Self-Calibration at Wakeup
The MAX11208 can be put in self-calibration mode immediately after wake-up from sleep mode. Self-calibration at
wake-up helps to compensate for temperature or supply
changes if the device is shut down for extensive periods.
To automatically start self-calibration at the end of sleep
mode, all the data bits must be shifted out followed by
the 25th SCLK edge to pull RDY/DOUT high. On the 26th
SCLK, keep it high for as long as shutdown is desired.
Once SCLK is pulled back low, the device automatically
performs a self-calibration, and when the data is ready,
the RDY/DOUT output goes low. See Figure 5. This also
achieves the purpose of single conversions with selfcalibration.
