MAXIM MAX1154BEUE+

19-2839; Rev 1; 6/10
Stand-Alone, 10-Channel, 10-Bit System Monitors
with Internal Temperature Sensor and VDD Monitor
The MAX1153/MAX1154 are stand-alone, 10-channel (8
external, 2 internal) 10-bit system monitor ADCs with
internal reference. A programmable single-ended/differential mux accepts voltage and remote-diode temperature-sensor inputs. These devices independently
monitor the input channels without microprocessor
interaction and generate an interrupt when any variable
exceeds user-defined limits. The MAX1153/MAX1154
configure both high and low limits, as well as the number of fault cycles allowed, before generating an interrupt. These ADCs can also perform recursive data
averaging for noise reduction. Programmable wait intervals between conversion sequences allow the selection
of the sample rate.
At the maximum sampling rate of 94ksps (auto mode,
single channel enabled), the MAX1153 consumes only
5mW (1.7mA at 3V). AutoShutdownTM reduces supply
current to 190µA at 2ksps and to less than 8µA at 50sps.
Stand-alone operation, combined with ease of use in a
small package (16-pin TSSOP), makes the MAX1153/
MAX1154 ideal for multichannel system-monitoring
applications. Low power consumption also makes
these devices a good fit for hand-held and battery-powered applications.

The devices are 100% tested at TA = +25°C and +85°C. Specification over temperature range is guaranteed by design.
Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the gain and offset errors
have been calibrated.
Offset nulled.
In reference mode 00, the reference system powers up for each temperature measurement. In reference mode 01, the reference system powers up once per sequence of channels scanned. If a sample wait <80µs is programmed, the reference
system is on all the time. In reference mode 10, the reference system is on all the time (see Table 7).
No external capacitor on REF.
The operational input voltage range for each individual input of a differentially configured pair (AIN0–AIN7) is from GND to
VDD. The operational input voltage difference is from -VREF/2 to +VREF/2.
See Figure 3 and the Sampling Error vs. Input Source Impedance graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics section.
Grade A tested at +10°C and +55°C. -20°C to +85°C and -40°C to +85°C specifications guaranteed by design. Grade B
tested at +25°C. TMIN to TMAX specification guaranteed by design.
External temperature measurement mode using an MMBT3904 (Diodes Inc.) as a sensor. External temperature sensing
from -40°C to +85°C; MAX1153/MAX1154 held at +25°C.
Performing eight single-ended external channels’ temperature measurements, an internal temperature measurement, and
an internal VDD measurement with no sample wait results in a conversion rate of 2ksps per channel.
Performing eight single-ended voltage measurements, an internal temperature measurement, and an internal VDD measurement with no sample wait results in a conversion rate of 7ksps per channel.
Performing eight single-ended voltage measurements, an internal temperature measurement, and an internal VDD measurement with maximum sample wait results in a conversion rate of 3ksps per channel.
Defined as the shift in the code boundary as a result of supply voltage change. VDD = min to max; full-scale input, measured using external reference.

Detailed Description
The MAX1153/MAX1154 are precision-monitoring integrated circuit systems specifically intended for standalone operation. They can monitor diverse types of
inputs, such as those from temperature sensors and
voltage signals from pressure, vibration, and acceleration sensors, and digitize these input signals. The digital values are then compared to preprogrammed
thresholds and, if the thresholds are exceeded, the
processor is alerted by an interrupt signal. No interaction by the CPU or microcontroller (µC) is required until
one of the programmed limits is exceeded (Figures 3
and 4).
Voltages on all the inputs are converted to 10-bit values
sequentially and stored in the current data registers.
Note that eight of these inputs are external and two are
internal. One of the internal inputs monitors the VDD
voltage supply, while the other monitors the internal IC
temperature. AIN0 to AIN7 can be configured as either
single ended (default) or differential. In addition, these
inputs can be configured for single-ended or differential temperature measurements. In the temperature
configuration, the device provides the proper bias necessary to measure temperature with a diode-connected
transistor sensor. The user enables which inputs are
measured (both external and internal) and sets the
delay between each sequence of measurements during the initial setup of the device.
The values stored in the current data registers are compared to the user-preprogrammed values in the threshold registers (upper and lower thresholds) and, if
exceeded, activate the interrupt output and generate an

alarm condition. If desired, the device can be programmed to average the results of many measurements
before comparing to the threshold value. This reduces
the sensitivity to external noise in the measured signal.
In addition, the user can set the number of times the
threshold is exceeded (fault cycles) before generating
an interrupt. This feature reduces falsely triggered
alarms caused by undesired, random spurious impulses.
When the fault cycle criterion is exceeded, an alarm
condition is created. The device writes the fault condition into the alarm register to indicate the alarmed input
channel.
Converter Operation
The MAX1153/MAX1154 ADCs use a fully differential
successive-approximation register (SAR) conversion
technique and an on-chip track-and-hold (T/H) block to
convert temperature and voltage signals into a 10-bit
digital result. Both single-ended and differential configurations are supported with a unipolar signal range for
single-ended mode and bipolar or unipolar ranges for
differential mode. Figure 5 shows the equivalent input
circuit for the MAX1153/MAX1154. Configure the input
channels according to Tables 5 and 6 (see the Input
Configuration Register section).
In single-ended mode, the positive input (IN+) is connected to the selected input channel and the negative
input (IN-) is connected to GND. In differential mode,
IN+ and IN- are selected from the following pairs:
AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3, AIN4/AIN5, and AIN6/AIN7.
Once initiated, voltage conversions require 10.6µs (typ)
to complete.

Figure 3. Simplified Alarm Block Diagram of the MAX1153/MAX1154
During the acquisition interval, IN+ and IN- charge both
a positive (CHOLDP) and a negative (CHOLDN) sampling capacitor. After completing the acquisition interval, the T/H switches open, storing an accurate sample
of the differential voltage between IN+ and IN-. This
charge is then transferred to the ADC and converted.
Finally, the conversion result is transferred to the current data register.
Temperature conversions require 46µs (typ) and measure the difference between two sequential voltage
measurements (see the Temperature Measurement
section for a detailed description).
Fully Differential Track/Hold (T/H)
The T/H acquisition interval begins with the rising edge
of CS (for manually triggered conversions) and is internally timed to 1.5µs (typ). The accuracy of the input signal sample is a function of the input signal’s source
impedance and the T/H’s capacitance. In order to
achieve adequate settling of the T/H, limit the signal
source impedance to a maximum of 1kΩ.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input tracking circuitry has a 1MHz smallsignal bandwidth. To avoid high-frequency signals
aliasing into the frequency band of interest, anti-alias
prefiltering of the input signals is recommended.
Analog Input Protection
Internal protection diodes, which clamp the analog
inputs to VDD and GND, allow the channel input pins to
swing from (VGND - 0.3V) to (VDD + 0.3V) without damage. However, for accurate conversions near full scale,
the inputs must not exceed VDD by more than 50mV or
be lower than VGND by 50mV. If the analog input range
must exceed 50mV beyond the supplies, limit the input
current.
Single Ended/Differential
The MAX1153/MAX1154 use a fully differential ADC for
all conversions. Through the input configuration register, the analog inputs can be configured for either differential or single-ended conversions. When sampling
signal sources close to the MAX1153/MAX1154, singleended conversion is generally sufficient. Single-ended
conversions use only one analog input per signal
source, internally referenced to GND.

In differential mode, the T/H samples the difference
between two analog inputs, eliminating common-mode
DC offsets and noise. See the Input Configuration
Register section and Tables 5 and 6 for more details on
configuring the analog inputs.
Unipolar/Bipolar
When performing differential conversions, the input
configuration register (Tables 5 and 6) also selects
between unipolar and bipolar operation. Unipolar mode
sets the differential input range from 0 to VREF. A negative differential analog input in unipolar mode causes
the digital output code to be zero. Selecting bipolar
mode sets the differential input range to ±VREF/2. The
digital output code is straight binary in unipolar mode
and two’s complement in bipolar mode (see the
Transfer Function section).
In single-ended mode, the MAX1153/MAX1154 always
operate in unipolar mode. The analog inputs are internally referenced to GND with a full-scale input range
from 0 to VREF.
Digital Interface
The MAX1153/MAX1154 digital interface consists of
five signals: CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT, and INT. CS,
SCLK, DIN, and DOUT comprise an SPI™-compatible
serial interface (see the Serial Digital Interface section).
INT is an independent output that provides an indication that an alarm has occurred in the system (see the
INT Interrupt Output section).
Serial Digital Interface
The MAX1153/MAX1154 feature a serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™ devices.
For SPI/QSPI, ensure that the CPU serial interface runs
in master mode so it generates the serial clock signal.
Select a serial clock frequency of 10MHz or less, and
set clock polarity (CPOL) and phase (CPHA) in the µP
control registers to the same value, one or zero. The
MAX1153/MAX1154 support operation with SCLK idling
high or low, and thus operate with CPOL = CPHA = 0 or
CPOL = CPHA = 1.

Figure 6. Detailed Serial Interface Timing Diagram
Clock pulses on SCLK shift data into DIN on the rising
edge of the SCLK and out of DOUT on the falling edge
of SCLK.
Data transfers require a logic low on CS. A high-to-low
transition of CS marks the beginning of a data transfer. A
logic high on CS at any time resets the serial interface.
See Figure 6 and the Timing Characteristics table for
detailed serial-interface timing information.
Input Data Format
Serial communications always begin with an 8-bit command word, serially loaded from DIN. A high-to-low
transition on CS initiates the data input operation. The
command word and the subsequent data bytes (for
write operations) are clocked from DIN into the
MAX1153/MAX1154 on the rising edges of SCLK. The
first rising edge on SCLK, after CS goes low, clocks in
the MSB of the command word (see the Command
Word section). The next seven rising edges on SCLK
complete the loading of the command word into the
internal command register. After the 8-bit command
word is entered, transfer 0 to 20 bytes of data, depending on the command. Table 2 shows the number of
data bytes for each command.
Output Data Format
Output data from the MAX1153/MAX1154 is clocked
onto DOUT on the falling edge of SCLK. Single-ended
and unipolar differential measurements are output in
straight binary MSB first, with two 8-bytes-per-conversion result, with 2 sub-bits and the last 4 bits padded
with zeros. For temperature and bipolar differential voltage measurements, the output is two’s complement
binary in the same 2-byte format. The MSB of the output data from a read command transitions at DOUT
after the falling edge of the 8th SCLK clock pulse following the CS high-to-low transition. Table 2 shows the
number of bytes to be read from DOUT for a given read
command.
Command Word
The command word (Table 1) controls all serial communications and configuration of the MAX1153/
MAX1154, providing access to the 44 on-chip registers.
The first 4 MSBs of the command word specify the
command (Table 2), while the last 4 bits provide
address information.
The first rising edge on SCLK, after CS goes low, transfers the command word MSB into DIN. The next seven
rising edges on SCLK shift the remaining 7 bits into the
internal command register (see the Serial Digital
Interface section).

Manually Triggered Conversion
(Command Code = 0000)
Before beginning a manual conversion, ensure the
scan mode bit in the setup register is zero, because a
logic 1 disables manual conversions. The address bits
in a Manually Triggered Conversion command select
the input channel for conversion (see Table 3). When
performing a differential conversion, use the even channel address (AIN0, AIN2, AIN4, AIN6); the command is
ignored if odd channel addresses (AIN1, AIN3, AIN5,
AIN7) are used for a differential conversion.
After issuing a Manually Triggered Conversion command, bring CS high to begin the conversion. To obtain
a correct conversion result, CS must remain high for a
period longer than the reference power-up time (if in
power-down mode) plus the conversion time for the
selected channel-configured conversion type (voltage
or temperature). The conversion’s result can then be
read at DOUT by issuing a Read Current Data Register
for Selected Channel command, addressing the converted channel. See Table 3 for channel addresses.

Write-Selected Channel Configuration
Registers (Command Code 1100)
The Write-Selected Channel Configuration Register command, 1100, writes to the three channel configuration
registers for the addressed channel (see Table 3). The
first register to be written is the upper threshold (2 bytes),
followed by the lower threshold (2 bytes), ending with the
channel configuration register (1 byte), all MSB first.
Writing to the configuration registers resets the alarm register bits and the fault counters for the addressed channel. See the Channel Registers section for more details.
Write Global Configuration Registers
(Command Code 1101)
The Write Global Configuration Registers command,
1101, writes to three registers: the channel-enable register (2 bytes), the input configuration register (2 bytes),
and the setup register (1 byte). The command address
bits are ignored. See the Global Configuration
Registers section for more details.
Global Configuration Registers
The global configuration registers consist of the channel-enable register, the input configuration register, and
the setup register. These registers hold configuration
data common to all channels.
Channel-Enable Register
The channel-enable register (Table 4) controls which
channels are converted while in automatic scan mode.
The register contents are ignored for manual conversion commands. Each input channel has a corresponding bit in the channel-enable register. A logic high
enables the corresponding analog input channel for
conversion, while a logic low disables it. In differential
configuration, the bits for odd channels are ignored. At
power-up and after a RESET command, the register
contents default to 111111111111b (all channels
enabled).
Input Configuration Register
The input configuration register (Table 5) stores the
configuration code for each channel as a 3-bit per
channel-pair code (see Table 6), selecting from five
input signal configurations: single-ended unipolar voltage, single-ended temperature, differential unipolar
voltage, differential bipolar voltage, and differential
temperature. Table 5 shows the input configuration register format, and Table 6 shows the 3-bit encoding for

Setup Register: Sample Wait Bits (B7, B6, B5)
These 3 bits in the setup register (Table 8) set the wait
time between conversion scans. The following are
examples of how the MAX1153/MAX1154 begin a sample sequence (see the Setup Register: Reference
Selection Bits (B1/B0) section).
Operating in reference mode 00 (external reference for
voltage conversions, internal reference for temperature
conversions):
1) Convert the first-enabled channel. If this channel is
a temperature measurement, power up the internal
reference (this takes 20µs for each enabled temperature measurement in reference mode 00).
2) Sequence to the next-enabled channel until all
channels have been converted.
3) Wait the sample wait period.
4) Repeat the procedure.
Operating in reference mode 01 (internal reference for all
conversions, can be powered down between scans):
1) Power up the internal reference, if powered down
(this takes 40µs).
2) Convert the first-enabled channel, starting with the
internal temperature sensor, if enabled.
3) Sequence to the next-enabled channel until all
enabled channels have been converted.
4) Wait the sample wait time, and enter internal reference power-down mode if this period is greater
than 80µs.
5) Repeat the above steps.
Operating in reference mode 10 (internal reference for
all conversions, continuously powered up):
1) Convert the first-enabled channel.
2) Sequence to the next-enabled channel until all
enabled channels have been converted.
3) Wait the sample wait time.
4) Repeat the procedure.
Use the sample wait feature to reduce supply current
when measuring slow-changing analog signals. This
power savings occurs when reference mode 00 or 01 is
used in combination with wait times longer than 80µs.
With reference mode 10 or wait times of less than 80µs,
the internal reference system remains powered up, minimizing any power savings. See the Computing Data
Throughput section. Table 8 shows the B7, B6, B5 wait
time encoding.
Setup Register: Interrupt Control (B4, B3)

MAX1153/MAX1154
Setup Register
The 8-bit setup register (Table 7) holds configuration
data common to all input channels. At power-up and
after a RESET command, this register defaults to
00000000b.
MAX1153/MAX1154
Stand-Alone, 10-Channel, 10-Bit System Monitors
with Internal Temperature Sensor and VDD Monitor
Setup Register: Scan Mode Bit (B2)
The scan mode bit selects between automatic scanning and manual conversion mode.
When set (B2 = 1), the MAX1153/MAX1154 enter automatic scanning mode and convert every enabled channel starting with the internal temperature sensor,
followed by the VDD monitor, then sequencing through
AIN0 to AIN7.
After converting all the enabled channels, the
MAX1153/MAX1154 enter a wait state set by the sample wait bits in the setup register. After completing the
sample wait time, the scan cycle repeats.
When B2 = 0, the MAX1153/MAX1154 are in manual
mode and convert only the selected channel after
receiving a Manually Triggered Conversion command
(see the Manually Triggered Conversion (Command
Code 0000) section). Whether in automatic scanning
mode or manual mode, a Read Current Data Register
for Selected Channel command outputs the last-completed conversion result for the addressed channel at
DOUT.

Setup Register: Reference Selection Bits (B1, B0)
The MAX1153/MAX1154 can be used with an internal
or external reference. Select between internal and
external reference modes through bits B1 and B0 of the
setup register (see Table 10).
Alarm Register
The alarm register (Table 11) holds the current alarm status for all of the monitored signals. This 24-bit register
can only be read and cleared. The alarm register has 2
bits for each external input channel, 2 for the onboard
temperature sensor, and 2 for the VDD monitor (see
Table 12). At power-up, these bits are logic low, indicating no alarms at any input. When any bit in the alarm register is set, INT becomes active and remains active until
all alarm bits are cleared. After a fault counter exceeds
the set threshold, the alarm register bits for that particular
channel are updated to indicate an alarm.
To clear the interrupt, reset the active alarm bit with the
Clear Alarm Register command, Clear Channel Alarm
command, a RESET command, or by writing a new
configuration to the faulting channel. The alarm register
defaults to 000000 hex.
Table 11 illustrates how the alarm register stores the
information on which channel a fault has occurred. The
alarm code for each bit pair is shown in Table 12.
Channel Registers
Each channel (internal temperature sensor, VDD monitor, and AIN0 to AIN7) has registers to hold the conversion result (current data register) and channel-specific
configuration data. The channel-specific configuration
registers include: the upper threshold register, the
lower threshold register, and the channel configuration
register. In differential mode, only the registers for the
even channel of the differential input pair are used. The
channel-specific configuration registers for the odd
channel of a differential channel pair are ignored.

Channel Configuration Register
Each channel has a channel configuration register (Table
13) defining the number of consecutive faults to be
detected before setting the alarm bits and generating an
interrupt, as well as controlling the digital averaging function. At power-up and after a RESET command, the register defaults to 00 hex (no averaging, alarm on first fault).
Fault Bits
The value stored in the fault bits (B7–B4) in the channel
configuration register sets the number of faults that
must occur for that channel before generating an interrupt. Encoding of the fault bits is straight binary with
values 0 to 15. A fault occurs in a channel when the
value in its current data register is outside the range
defined by the channel’s upper and lower threshold
registers. For example, if the number of faults set by the
fault bits is N, an interrupt is generated when the number of consecutive faults (see following note) reach
(N + 1). The fault bits default to 0 hex at power-up.
Note: Consecutive faults are those happening in consecutive conversion scans for the same channel. If a
fault occurs and the next scan finds the input within the
The averaging calculated by the data-acquisition algorithm of the MAX1153/MAX1154 improves the input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by reducing the signal
bandwidth digitally. The formula below describes the
filter implemented in the MAX1153/MAX1154:
current value = [(N - 1) / N] x past value +
[(present value) / N]
where N = number of samples indicated in Table 14.
The averaging bits (B3–B0) in the channel configuration
register can set the N factor to any value in Table 14.
The output of the filter-running algorithm is continuously
available in the current data register. The starting value
used by the algorithm is the initial state of the current
data register. The current data register is reset to midscale (200 hex) at power-up or after a RESET command, but it can be loaded with a more appropriate
initial value to improve the filter settling time.
At power-up or after a RESET command, the B3–B0
bits of the channel configuration register are set to 0
hex, corresponding to a number of averaged N = 1, no
averaging. See Table 13 and the Write-Selected
Channel Configuration Registers section for programming details. See Table 14 for N encoding.
As in all digital filters, truncation can be a cause of significant errors. In the MAX1153/MAX1154, 24 bits of
precision are maintained in the digital averaging functions, maintaining a worst-case truncation error of well
below an LSB. The worst-case truncation error in the
MAX1153/MAX1154 is given by the following:
worst - case truncation error =
N -1
LSBs
16384
where N = number of conversions averaged.
Therefore, the worst truncation error when averaging
256 samples is 0.01557 LSBs.

with Internal Temperature Sensor and VDD Monitor
Upper Threshold Register
A conversion result greater than the value stored in the
upper threshold register results in a fault, increasing the
internal fault counter by one. When the fault count
exceeds the value stored in fault bits B7–B4 of the channel configuration register, the channel’s alarm bits in the
alarm register are set, resulting in an interrupt on INT.
The upper threshold register data format must be the
same as the input channel. When the input channel is
configured for single-ended or differential unipolar voltage measurements, data stored in the upper threshold
register is interpreted as straight binary. For input channels configured for temperature measurements or as
differential bipolar voltage inputs, the upper threshold
register data is interpreted as two’s complement. Load
the register with 3FF hex to disable upper threshold
faults in unipolar mode, and 1FF hex in temperature or
bipolar mode. The power-up/reset default is 3FF hex.
See the Command Word section on how to read/write
to the upper threshold registers.
Lower Threshold Register
Conversion results lower than the value stored in the
lower threshold register increment the internal fault
counter. Considerations about channel configuration
register fault bits B7–B4, INT interrupts, and data format are the same as for the upper threshold register.
Set the register to 200 hex to disable lower threshold
faults in unipolar mode, or to 200 hex in temperature or
bipolar mode. The power-up/reset default is 000 hex.
See the Command Word section on how to read/write
to the lower threshold registers.
channel are updated to indicate an alarm. When any bit in
the alarm register is set, the INT output becomes active,
and stays active until all alarm bits are cleared. See the
Alarm Register section for more information.
Servicing Interrupts at INT
After detecting an interrupt on INT, the µC’s interrupt
routine should first read the alarm register to find the
source of the alarm and reset the alarm bits by using
any of the methods described in the Alarm Register
section. Then it can continue with any other action
required by the application to react to the alarm.
Note: Multiple alarm conditions can be present. The
INT remains active until all alarm conditions have been
cleared.
Performing Conversions
At power-up or after a RESET command, the
MAX1153/MAX1154 default to shutdown mode with all
channels enabled, set for single-ended voltage measurements, and with the scan mode set to manual. Start
a conversion by issuing a manually triggered conversion command with the address bits of the channel
selected (see the Manual Conversion section for more
details) or by setting automatic scan mode. To place
the MAX1153/MAX1154 in automatic scan mode, set
the scan mode bit B2 in the setup register to logic 1.
INT Interrupt Output
In automatic scan mode, the MAX1153/MAX1154 convert all enabled channels starting with the internal temperature sensor, followed by the VDD monitor, then by
AIN0 to AIN7. As the scan sequence progresses, the
analog inputs are converted and the resulting values
are stored for each channel into its current data register. Once the scan cycle completes, the MAX1153/
MAX1154 wait a period determined by the sample wait
bits (B7, B6, B5) in the setup register and then repeat
the scan cycle.
After configuring the MAX1153/MAX1154 with automatic scan mode enabled, the devices do not require any
intervention from the system µC until an alarm is triggered. All conversion and monitoring functions can
continue running indefinitely.
INT provides an indication that an alarm has occurred
in the system. It can be programmed (see Table 9) to
operate as a push-pull digital output or as an opendrain output (requiring either a pullup or a pulldown
resistor) for wired-OR interrupt lines. Bits B3 and B4 in
the setup register configure INT and determine its
response to an alarm event.
When an internal fault counter exceeds the threshold
stored in the fault bits (B7–B4) of the corresponding channel configuration register, the alarm bits for that particular
In manual mode (scan mode bit in the setup register
set to zero, the default after power-up/reset), the
MAX1153/MAX1154 convert individual channels with
the Manually Triggered Conversion command. Assuming
that, either by power-up/RESET defaults or by previous
initialization, the channel to be addressed is both
enabled and configured for the type of signal to be
acquired (voltage/temperature, single ended/differential, or unipolar/bipolar), carry out the following steps to
Current Data Registers
The current data register holds the last conversion
result or the digitally averaged result, when enabled
(see the Averaging section). The current data registers
default to 800 hex at power-up/reset and can be read
from and written to through the serial interface. See the
Command Word section on how to read/write to the
current data registers.

4) Pull CS high to start the conversion.
5) Maintain a logic high on CS to allow for reference

6) Pull CS low.
7) Issue a Read Current Data Register for SelectedChannel command (0010, followed by the same
address of the channel in the Manually Triggered

Monitoring VDD
This internal acquisition channel samples and converts
the supply voltage, VDD.
VDD value can be calculated from the digitized data
with the following equation:
⎛V
⎞
VDD = 2 x (current _ data _ register _ content) x ⎜ REF ⎟
⎝ 1024 ⎠
The reference voltage must be larger than 1/2VDD for
the operation to work properly. VDD monitoring requires
10.6µs (typ) per measurement.
Temperature Measurement
The MAX1153/MAX1154 perform temperature measurement by measuring the voltage across a diode-connected transistor at two different current levels. The
following equation illustrates the algorithm used for
temperature calculations:

Every voltage measurement (internal VDD or external

MAX1153/MAX1154 come out of automatic shutdown
mode after a sample wait period greater than 80µs.

Command section, Table 2, and Tables 5–10.
Immediately after the global configuration register is
loaded, the MAX1153/MAX1154 begin to update the
current data registers. Acquire conversion data from
the MAX1153/MAX1154 by issuing a command to read
a specific channel with the Read Current Data Register
for Selected Channel command. Read all current data
register at once with the Read Current Data Registers
for All Channels command.
For more complex applications, the monitoring and
interrupt generation features of the MAX1153/MAX1154
require a second step of initialization. Each enabled
channel to be monitored requires configuration using a
Write Configuration Register for Selected Channel command. Each command is a 5-byte write that sets the
upper and lower fault thresholds, the number of faults for
an alarm before an interrupt is generated, and an average algorithm parameter if the application requires input
signal filtering.
Applications can read the current data registers and
respond to interrupts signaled by the INT output (see
the Servicing Interrupts at INT section).
All the MAX1153/MAX1154 registers can be verified by
reading back written data, including the configuration
registers. This feature is useful for development and
testing (see Table 2).
Applications Information
Setting Up the
MAX1153/MAX1154 Subsystem
The MAX1153/MAX1154 are autonomous subsystems,
requiring only initialization to scan, convert, and monitor
the voltage signals or the temperature sensors connected to their input channels.
For simple applications, using any number of the input
channels and any combination of voltage/temperature
and unipolar/differential, with no interrupt generation
required, use the following intitialization procedure:
• Issue a Write Global Configuration Registers command. This is a single, 5-byte write operation that
configures the input channels, enables the channels to be used, sets the sample wait time between
scans, configures the interrupt output INT, selects

Computing Data Throughput
The MAX1153/MAX1154 throughput rate depends on
the number of enabled channels, their configuration
(temperature or voltage), and the reference mode.
Voltage measurements require 10.6µs (typ) to complete, and temperature measurements require 46µs.
Channel pairs configured for differential measurements
count as only one for throughput computation.
The reference system takes 20µs to power up in reference mode 00 prior to each temperature measurement,
40µs to power up in reference mode 01 after each sam-
ple wait period (if sample wait time > 80µs), and no
power-up time in reference mode 10.
The sampling period is calculated as follows:
tsw = (tpu) + (Nv)tconv[volt] + (Nt)tconv[temp] + twait
where:
tsw = all channels scan sampling period
tpu = reference power-up time
tconv[volt] = voltage-configured channel conversion time
Nv = number of voltage-configured channels
tconv[temp] = temperature-configured channel conversion time
Nt = number of temperature-configured channels
twait = sample wait time
The terms in the previous equation are determined as
shown by the number of enabled channels, the input
channel configuration (voltage vs. temperature), the
sample wait time, and the reference mode. The following calculation shows a numeric example:
tsw = 40µs + 8 x 10.6µs + 2 x 46µs + 395µs = 611.8µs
• 40µs is the time required for the reference to powerup (reference mode = 00) every time the
MAX1153/MAX1154 come out of automatic shutdown mode after a sample wait period.
• 8 x 10.6µs is the time required for seven channels
configured for voltage measurement and the VDD
monitor.
• 2 x 46µs is the time required for temperature measurement (46µs for each temperature measurement
(internal or external)).
• 395µs is the sample wait time, set by bits B5, B6,
B7 of the setup register (see Tables 7 and 8).
The MAX1153/MAX1154 use an internal clock for all
conversions. The serial interface clock does not affect
conversion time.
Performing eight single-ended remote channels temperature measurements, an internal temperature measurement, and an internal VDD measurement with a
sample wait time of zero results in an average conversion rate of 24ksps or 2.4ksps per channel.
Performing eight single-ended voltage measurements,
an internal temperature measurement, and an internal
VDD measurement with sample wait time of zero results
in an average conversion rate of 70ksps or 7ksps per
channel.

lowest power consumption.
Temperature Measurement
The MAX1153/MAX1154 support both single-ended
and differential temperature measurements. The design
decision between the two types of measurements
depends on the desired level of accuracy and on type
and/or number of temperature sensors. The superior
common-mode rejection and lower noise of the differential mode reduces measurement errors and provides
higher accuracy, while single-ended measurements
require a lower number of connections, resulting in a
simpler implementation and a higher number of monitored points for each MAX1153/MAX1154.
Differential Temperature Measurement
Connect the anode of a diode-connected transistor to
the even input channel and the cathode to the odd
input channel of an input pair configured for differential
temperature measurement (AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3,
AIN4/AIN5, or AIN6/AIN7). Run the two sensor connection lines parallel to each other with minimum spacing.
This improves temperature measurement accuracy by
minimizing the differential noise between the two lines,
since they have equal exposure to most sources of
noise. For further improved noise rejection, shield the
two sensor connections by running them between
ground planes, when available.
Configure the MAX1153/MAX1154 inputs for differential
temperature measurement in the input configuration
register (see Tables 9 and 10) and enable the even
channel number in the channel enable register (see
Table 4).
Single-Ended Temperature Measurement
Connect the anode of a diode-connected transistor to
the input channel and the cathode to ground. Choose
ground connections for sensors away from high-current
return paths to avoid the introduction of errors caused by
voltage drops in the board/system ground, which is the
main drawback for single-ended measurements.
Practical options for better accuracy are the use of a
star-configured subsystem ground or a signal ground
plane; to isolate the anode sensor connection trace away
from board and system noise sources; or to shield it with
ground lines and ground planes (when available) to prevent accuracy degradation in the temperature measurements caused by magnetic/electric noise induction.
Configure the MAX1153/MAX1154 input used for singleended temperature measurement in the input configuration register (see Tables 9 and 10) and enable the
analog input in the channel-enable register (see Table 4).
Remote Temperature Sensor Selection
Temperature-sensing accuracy depends on having a
good-quality, diode-connected, small-signal transistor
as a sensor. Accuracy has been experimentally verified
for 2N3904-type devices. The transistor must be a
small-signal type with low base resistance. Tight specifications for forward current gain (+50 to +150, for
example) indicate that the manufacturer has good
process controls and that the devices have consistent
VBE characteristics. CPU on-board sensors and other
ICs’ on-board temperature-sensing devices can also
be used (see Table 16 for recommended devices).

Transfer Function
Figure 10 shows the nominal transfer function for single-ended or differential unipolar configured inputs,
Figure 11 illustrates the transfer function for differential
bipolar conversions, and Figure 12 shows temperature
conversions. Code transitions occur halfway between
successive-integer LSB values. Output coding is binary, with 1 LSB = 2.44mV (MAX1153) or 4mV (MAX1154)
for unipolar and bipolar operation, and 1 LSB = +0.5°C
(MAX1153/MAX1154) for temperature measurements.
For unipolar operation, the 0 code level transition is at
[1/2(VREF / 1024)].
The FFF hex level transition is at [1022.5(VREF / 1024)].
1 LSB = VREF / 1024.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use PC boards. Do not use wirewrap boards. Board layout should ensure that digital
and analog signal lines are separated from each other.
Do not run analog and digital (especially clock) signals
parallel to one another or run digital lines underneath
the MAX1153/MAX1154 package. High-frequency
noise in the V DD power supply can affect the
MAX1153/MAX1154 performance. Bypass the VDD supply with a 0.1µF capacitor from VDD to GND close to
the VDD pin. Minimize capacitor lead lengths for best
supply-noise rejection. If the power supply is very
noisy, connect a 10Ω resistor in series with the supply
to improve power-supply filtering.

Integral Nonlinearity
Integral nonlinearity is the deviation of the values on the
actual transfer function from a straight line. This straight
line can be either a best-straight-line fit or a line drawn
between the end points of the transfer function, once offset and gain errors have been corrected. The static linearity parameters for the MAX1153/MAX1154 are measured
using the end-point-fit method. INL is specified as the
maximum deviation in LSBs.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity is the difference between an
actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A DNL
error specification of less than 1 LSB guarantees no
missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Offset Error
The offset error is the difference between the ideal and
the actual analog input value at the first transition of the
ADC, usually from digital code 0 to code 1 for straight
binary output. For the MAX1153/MAX1154, the transition between code 0 and code 1 should occur at an
input voltage of 1/2 LSB, or 1.22mV for the MAX1153
and 2mV for the MAX1154.

Gain Error
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion
The gain error is the difference between the ideal and
actual value of the analog input difference between the
first and last transitions of the ADC output. The first
transition is from digital code 0 to code 1, and the last
from code (2N-2) to code (2N-1), where N = number of
ADC bits for straight binary output code. For the
MAX1153/MAX1154, the ideal difference in the input
voltage between code transitions 0 to 1 and code transitions 1022 to 1023 is 1022 x LSB. For the MAX1153,
this is 2.5V - 2 x LSB = 2.495117, and for the MAX1154,
this is 4.096V - 2 x LSB = 4.088. Gain error is a DC
specification, usually normalized to the FS ideal analog
value and given in percent of FSR or ppm.
Signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) is the ratio of the
fundamental input frequency’s RMS amplitude to the
RMS equivalent of all other ADC output signals:
SINAD (dB) = 20 x log (SignalRMS / NoiseRMS)
There are other noise sources besides quantization
noise, including thermal noise, reference noise, clock
jitter, etc. Therefore, SINAD is calculated by taking the
ratio of the full-scale signal to the RMS noise, which
includes all spectral components minus the fundamental and the first five harmonics.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital
samples, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio of the
full-scale analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quantization error (residual error). The ideal theoretical minimum
analog-to-digital noise is caused by quantization error
only, results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits),
and can be calculated with the following equation:
SNR = (6.02 x N + 1.76)dB
There are other noise sources besides quantization
noise, including thermal noise, reference noise, clock
jitter, etc. Therefore, SNR is calculated by taking the
ratio of the RMS signal to the RMS noise, which
includes all spectral components minus the fundamental, the first five harmonics, and the DC offset.
28
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of the first five harmonics of the input signal to the
fundamental itself. This is expressed as:
THD = 20 x log
⎛
⎝
(V22
+ V32 + V42 + V52) ⎞
⎠
V1
where V 1 is the fundamental RMS value, and V 2
through V5 are the RMS values of the 2nd- through 5thorder harmonics, respectively.
Power-Supply Rejection
Power-supply rejection is the ratio between the change
in the ADC full-scale output to the change in powersupply voltage when the power-supply voltage is varied
from its nominal value. It is specified in V/V or µV/V.
