MAXIM MAX11210

MAX11212
18-Bit, Single-Channel, Ultra-Low Power, DeltaSigma ADC with 2-Wire Serial Interface
General Description
Features
The MAX11212 is an ultra-low power (< 300FA max
active current), high-resolution, 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
MAX11212 provides a high-accuracy internal oscillator
that requires no external components.
S 18-Bit Full-Scale Resolution
When used with the specified data rates, the internal
digital filter provides more than 80dB rejection of 50Hz or
60Hz line noise. The MAX11212 provides a simple 2-wire
serial interface in the space-saving, 10-pin FMAXM package. The MAX11212 operates over the -40NC to +85NC
temperature range.

MAX11212
18-Bit, Single-Channel, Ultra-Low Power, DeltaSigma ADC with 2-Wire Serial Interface
Detailed Description
The MAX11212 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 MAX11212 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 MAX11212 provides a simple, system-friendly, 2-wire serial interface in
the space-saving, 10-pin FMAX package.
Power-On Reset (POR)
The MAX11212 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.
The MAX11212 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 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.
Analog Inputs
The MAX11212 accepts two analog inputs (AINP and
AINN). The modulator input range is bipolar (-VREF to
+VREF).
Internal Oscillator
The MAX11212 incorporates a highly stable internal
oscillator that provides the system clock. The system
clock runs the internal state machine and is trimmed to
Maxim Integrated
2.4576MHz (MAX11212A) or 2.2528MHz (MAX11212B).
The internal oscillator clock is divided down to run the
digital and analog timing.
Reference
The MAX11212 provides differential inputs REFP and
REFN for an external reference voltage. Connect the
external reference directly across 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 MAX11212 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.
Serial-Digital Interface
The MAX11212 communicates through a 2-wire serial
interface with a clock input and data output. The output
rate is predetermined based on the package option
(MAX11212A at 120sps and MAX11212B at 13.75sps).
2-Wire Interface
The MAX11212 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.
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 MAX11212 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 18 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 MAX11212 indicates conversion data availability as well as allows 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.
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 16 bits of
conversion data, a 25th positive edge on SCLK pulls
the RDY/DOUT output back high, indicating 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.
Figure 1 shows the timing diagram for the data read.
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.

Data Read Followed by Sleep Mode
The MAX11212 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 18 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 sleep mode, pull SCLK low. After the sleep mode
is deactivated (when the device wakes up), conversion
Maxim Integrated
starts again and RDY/DOUT goes low, indicating the
next conversion data is available. See Figure 4.
Single-Conversion Mode
For operating the MAX11212 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.

ed out followed by 25th SCLK edge to pull RDY/DOUT
high, and then 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 self-calibration.
Self-Calibration at Wake-Up
The MAX11212 can be put in self-calibration mode
immediately after wake-up from sleep mode. Selfcalibration 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 shift-
