MAX11634–MAX11637
General Description
The MAX11634–MAX11637 are serial 12-bit analog-todigital converters (ADCs) with an internal reference and
true differential track/hold. These devices feature on-chip
FIFO, scan mode, internal clock mode, internal averaging, and AutoShutdown™. The maximum sampling rate is
300ksps using an external clock. The MAX11636/
MAX11637 have 8 input channels and the MAX11634/
MAX11635 have 4 input channels. These four devices
operate from either a +3V supply or a +5V supply, and
contain a 10MHz SPI™-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE™-compatible serial port.
The MAX11634–MAX11637 are available in a 16-pin
QSOP package. All four devices are specified over the
extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Limits at TA = -40°C are guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Tested at VDD = 3V (MAX11635/MAX11637); VDD = 5V (MAX11634/MAX11636), unipolar input mode.
Offset nulled.
Time for reference to power up and settle to within 1 LSB.
Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles multiplied by the clock period; clock has 50% duty cycle.
The operational input voltage range for each individual input of a differentially configured pair is from GND to VDD. The
operational input voltage difference is from -VREF/2 to +VREF/2.
Note 8: See Figure 3 (Equivalent Input Circuit) and the Sampling Error vs. Source Impedance curve in the Typical Operating
Characteristics section.
Note 9: When CNVST is configured as a digital input, do not apply a voltage between VIL and VIH.
Note 10: Supply current is specified depending on whether an internal or external reference is used for voltage conversions.
Temperature measurements always use the internal reference.

Figure 2. Functional Diagram
Detailed Description
The MAX11634–MAX11637 are low-power, serial-output, multichannel ADCs for temperature-control,
process-control, and monitoring applications. These
12-bit ADCs have internal track and hold (T/H) circuitry
that supports single-ended and fully differential inputs.
Data is converted from analog voltage sources in a
variety of channel and data-acquisition configurations.
Microprocessor (µP) control is made easy through a 3wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface.
Figure 2 shows a simplified functional diagram of the
MAX11634–MAX11637 internal architecture. The
MAX11636/MAX11637 have eight single-ended analog
input channels or four differential channels. The
MAX11634/MAX11635 have four single-ended analog
input channels or two differential channels.
______________________________________________________________________________________
11
MAX11634–MAX11637
12-Bit, 300ksps ADCs with Differential
Track/Hold, and Internal Reference
Converter Operation
The MAX11634–MAX11637 ADCs use a fully differential, successive-approximation register (SAR) conversion technique and an on-chip T/H block to convert
temperature and voltage signals into a 12-bit digital
result. Both single-ended and differential configurations
are supported, with a unipolar signal range for singleended mode and bipolar or unipolar ranges for differential mode.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input-tracking circuitry has a 1MHz smallsignal bandwidth, so it is possible to digitize highspeed transient events and measure periodic signals
with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by
using undersampling techniques. Anti-alias prefiltering
of the input signals is necessary to avoid high-frequency
signals aliasing into the frequency band of interest.
Analog Input Protection
Internal ESD protection diodes clamp all pins to VDD
and GND, allowing the inputs to swing from (GND 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
GND by 50mV. If an off-channel analog input voltage
exceeds the supplies, limit the input current to 2mA.
3-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX11634–MAX11637 feature a serial interface
compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE devices.
For SPI/QSPI, ensure the CPU serial interface runs in
master mode so it generates the serial clock signal.
Select the SCLK frequency of 10MHz or less, and set
clock polarity (CPOL) and phase (CPHA) in the µP control registers to the same value. The MAX11634–
MAX11637 operate with SCLK idling high or low, and
thus operate with CPOL = CPHA = 0 or CPOL = CPHA
= 1. Set CS low to latch input data at DIN on the rising
edge of SCLK. Output data at DOUT is updated on the
falling edge of SCLK. Bipolar true differential results are
available in two’s complement format, while all others
are in binary.
Serial communication always begins with an 8-bit input
data byte (MSB first) loaded from DIN. Use a second
byte, immediately following the setup byte, to write to
the unipolar mode or bipolar mode registers (see
Tables 1, 3, 4, and 5). A high-to-low transition on CS initiates the data input operation. The input data byte and
12
the subsequent data bytes are clocked from DIN into
the serial interface on the rising edge of SCLK.
Tables 1–7 detail the register descriptions. Bits 5 and 4,
CKSEL1 and CKSEL0, respectively, control the clock
modes in the setup register (see Table 3). Choose
between four different clock modes for various ways to
start a conversion and determine whether the acquisitions are internally or externally timed. Select clock
mode 00 to configure CNVST/AIN7 to act as a conversion start and use it to request the programmed, internally timed conversions without tying up the serial bus.
In clock mode 01, use CNVST to request conversions
one channel at a time, controlling the sampling speed
without tying up the serial bus. Request and start internally timed conversions through the serial interface by
writing to the conversion register in the default clock
mode 10. Use clock mode 11 with SCLK up to 4.8MHz
for externally timed acquisitions to achieve sampling
rates up to 300ksps. Clock mode 11 disables scanning
and averaging. See Figures 4–7 for timing specifications and how to begin a conversion.
These devices feature an active-low, end-of-conversion
output. EOC goes low when the ADC completes the lastrequested operation and is waiting for the next input
data byte (for clock modes 00 and 10). In clock mode
01, EOC goes low after the ADC completes each
requested operation. EOC goes high when CS or CNVST
goes low. EOC is always high in clock mode 11.
Single-Ended/Differential Input
The MAX11634–MAX11637 use a fully differential ADC
for all conversions. The analog inputs can be configured for either differential or single-ended conversions
by writing to the setup register (see Table 3). Singleended conversions are internally referenced to GND
(see Figure 3).
In differential mode, the T/H samples the difference
between two analog inputs, eliminating common-mode
DC offsets and noise. IN+ and IN- are selected from the
following pairs: AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3, AIN4/AIN5, and
AIN6/AIN7. AIN0–AIN7 are available on the MAX11636/
MAX11637. AIN0–AIN3 are available on the MAX11634/
MAX11635. See Tables 2–5 for more details on configuring the inputs. For the inputs that can be configured
as CNVST or an analog input, only one can be used at
a time. For the inputs that can be configured as REF- or
an analog input, the REF- configuration excludes the
analog input.

Figure 3. Equivalent Input Circuit
Unipolar/Bipolar
Address the unipolar and bipolar registers through the
setup register (bits 1 and 0). Program a pair of analog
channels for differential operation by writing a 1 to the
appropriate bit of the bipolar or unipolar register.
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 binary in unipolar
mode and two’s complement in bipolar mode (Figures
8 and 9).
In single-ended mode, the MAX11634–MAX11637
always operate in unipolar mode. The analog inputs are
internally referenced to GND with a full-scale input
range from 0 to VREF.
True Differential Analog Input T/H
The equivalent circuit of Figure 3 shows the
MAX11634–MAX11637s’ input architecture. In track
mode, a positive input capacitor is connected to
AIN0–AIN7 in single-ended mode (and AIN0, AIN2,
AIN4, AIN5, AIN6 in differential mode). A negative input
capacitor is connected to GND in single-ended mode
(or AIN1, AIN3, AIN5, AIN6, AIN7 in differential mode).
For external T/H timing, use clock mode 01. After the
where RIN = 1.5kΩ, RS is the source impedance of the
input signal, and tPWR = 1µs, the power-up time of the
device. The varying power-up times are detailed in the
explanation of the clock mode conversions.
When the conversion is internally timed, tACQ is never
less than 1.4µs, and any source impedance below
300Ω does not significantly affect the ADC’s AC performance. A high-impedance source can be accommodated either by lengthening tACQ or by placing a 1µF
capacitor between the positive and negative analog
inputs.
Internal FIFO
The MAX11634–MAX11637 contain a FIFO buffer that
can hold up to 16 ADC results. This allows the ADC to
handle multiple internally clocked conversions without
tying up the serial bus.
If the FIFO is filled and further conversions are requested
without reading from the FIFO, the oldest ADC results
are overwritten by the new ADC results. Each result
contains 2 bytes, with the MSB preceded by four leading zeros. After each falling edge of CS, the oldest
available byte of data is available at DOUT, MSB first.
When the FIFO is empty, DOUT is zero.
Internal Clock
The MAX11634–MAX11637 operate from an internal
oscillator, which is accurate within 10% of the 4.4MHz
nominal clock rate. The internal oscillator is active in
clock modes 00, 01, and 10. Read out the data at clock
speeds up to 10MHz. See Figures 4–7 for details on
timing specifications and starting a conversion.

T/H enters hold mode, the difference between the sampled positive and negative input voltages is converted.
The time required for the T/H to acquire an input signal
is determined by how quickly its input capacitance is
charged. If the input signal’s source impedance is high,
the required acquisition time lengthens. The acquisition
time, tACQ, is the maximum time needed for a signal to
be acquired, plus the power-up time. It is calculated by
the following equation:
tACQ = 9 x (RS + RIN) x 24pF + tPWR

Applications Information
Register Descriptions
The MAX11634–MAX11637 communicate between the
internal registers and the external circuitry through the
SPI/QSPI-compatible serial interface. Table 1 details
the registers and the bit names. Tables 2–7 show the
various functions within the conversion register, setup
register, averaging register, reset register, unipolar register, and bipolar register.
Conversion Time Calculations
The conversion time for each scan is based on a number of different factors: conversion time per sample,
samples per result, results per scan, and if the external
reference is in use.
Use the following formula to calculate the total conversion time for an internally timed conversion in clock
modes 00 and 10 (see the Electrical Characteristics
table as applicable):
Total Conversion Time = tCNV x nAVG x nRESULT + tRP
where:
tCNV = tACQ(MAX) + tCONV(MAX)
nAVG = samples per result (amount of averaging)
nRESULT = number of FIFO results requested; determined by number of channels being scanned or by
NSCAN1, NSCAN0
tRP = internal reference wake up; set to zero if internal
reference is already powered up or external reference
is being used
In clock mode 01, the total conversion time depends on
how long CNVST is held low or high, including any time
required to turn on the internal reference. Conversion
time in externally clocked mode (CKSEL1, CKSEL0 = 11)
depends on the SCLK period and how long CS is held
high between each set of eight SCLK cycles. In clock
mode 01, the total conversion time does not include the
time required to turn on the internal reference.
Conversion Register
Select active analog input channels and scan modes
by writing to the conversion register. Table 2 details
channel selection, the four scan modes, and how to
request a temperature measurement. Request a scan
by writing to the conversion register when in clock
mode 10 or 11, or by applying a low pulse to the
CNVST pin when in clock mode 00 or 01.
A conversion is not performed if it is requested on a
channel that has been configured as CNVST or REF-.
Do not request conversions on channels 4–7 on the
MAX11634/MAX11635. Set CHSEL[2:0] to the lower
channel’s binary values. If the last two channels are
configured as a differential pair and one of them has
been reconfigured as CNVST or REF-, the pair is
ignored.
Select scan mode 00 or 01 to return one result per
single-ended channel and one result per differential
pair within the requested range. Select scan mode 10
to scan a single input channel numerous times,
depending on NSCAN1 and NSCAN0 in the averaging register (Table 6). Select scan mode 11 to return
only one result from a single channel.

Setup Register
Write a byte to the setup register to configure the clock,
reference, and power-down modes. Table 3 details the
bits in the setup register. Bits 5 and 4 (CKSEL1 and
CKSEL0) control the clock mode, acquisition and sampling, and the conversion start. Bits 3 and 2 (REFSEL1
and REFSEL0) control internal or external reference use.
Unipolar/Bipolar Mode Registers
The final 2 bits (LSBs) of the setup register control the
unipolar/bipolar mode address registers. Set bits 1 and
0 (DIFFSEL1 and DIFFSEL0) to 10 to write to the unipolar mode register. Set bits 1 and 0 to 11 to write to the
bipolar mode register. In both cases, the setup byte
must be followed immediately by 1 byte of data written
to the unipolar register or bipolar register. Hold CS low
and run 16 SCLK cycles before pulling CS high. If the
last 2 bits of the setup register are 00 or 01, neither the
unipolar mode register nor the bipolar mode register is
written. Any subsequent byte is recognized as a new
input data byte. See Tables 4 and 5 to program the
unipolar and bipolar mode registers.
If a channel is configured as both unipolar and bipolar,
the unipolar setting takes precedence. In unipolar
mode, AIN+ can exceed AIN- by up to VREF. The output format in unipolar mode is binary. In bipolar mode,
either input can exceed the other by up to VREF/2. The
output format in bipolar mode is two's complement.
Averaging Register
Write to the averaging register to configure the ADC to
average up to 32 samples for each requested result,
and to independently control the number of results
requested for single-channel scans.
Table 2 details the four scan modes available in the conversion register. All four scan modes allow averaging as
long as the AVGON bit, bit 4 in the averaging register, is
set to 1. Select scan mode 10 to scan the same channel
multiple times. Clock mode 11 disables averaging.
Reset Register
Write to the reset register (as shown in Table 7) to clear
the FIFO or to reset all registers to their default states.
Set the RESET bit to 1 to reset the FIFO. Set the RESET
bit to zero to return the MAX11634–MAX11637 to the
default power-up state.
Power-Up Default State
The MAX11634–MAX11637 power up with all blocks in
shutdown, including the reference. All registers power up
in state 00000000, except for the setup register, which
powers up in clock mode 10 (CKSEL1 = 1).

12-Bit, 300ksps ADCs with Differential
Track/Hold, and Internal Reference
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 00
In clock mode 00, the wake-up, acquisition, conversion,
and shutdown sequences are initiated through CNVST
and performed automatically using the internal oscillator. Results are added to the internal FIFO to be read
out later. See Figure 4 for clock mode 00 timing.
Initiate a scan by setting CNVST low for at least 40ns
before pulling it high again. The MAX11634–MAX11637
then wake up, scan all requested channels, store the
results in the FIFO, and shut down. After the scan is
complete, EOC is pulled low and the results are available in the FIFO. Wait until EOC goes low before pulling
CS low to communicate with the serial interface. EOC
stays low until CS or CNVST is pulled low again.
Do not initiate a second CNVST before EOC goes low;
otherwise, the FIFO can become corrupted.
Externally Timed Acquisitions and
Internally Timed Conversions with CNVST
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 01
In clock mode 01, conversions are requested one at a
time using CNVST and performed automatically using
the internal oscillator. See Figure 5 for clock mode 01
timing.
Setting CNVST low begins an acquisition, wakes up the
ADC, and places it in track mode. Hold CNVST low for
at least 1.4µs to complete the acquisition. If the internal
reference needs to wake up, an additional 65µs is
required for the internal reference to power up. If a temperature measurement is being requested, reference
power-up and temperature measurement are internally
timed. In this case, hold CNVST low for at least 40ns.
Set CNVST high to begin a conversion. After the conversion is complete, the ADC shuts down and pulls
EOC low. EOC stays low until CS or CNVST is pulled
low again. Wait until EOC goes low before pulling CS or
CNVST low.
If averaging is turned on, multiple CNVST pulses need
to be performed before a result is written to the FIFO.
Once the proper number of conversions has been performed to generate an averaged FIFO result, as specified by the averaging register, the scan logic
automatically switches the analog input multiplexer to
the next requested channel. The result is available on
DOUT once EOC has been pulled low.

Internally Timed Acquisitions and
Conversions Using the Serial Interface
Externally Clocked Acquisitions and
Conversions Using the Serial Interface
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 10
In clock mode 10, the wake-up, acquisition, conversion,
and shutdown sequences are initiated by writing an
input data byte to the conversion register, and are performed automatically using the internal oscillator. This is
the default clock mode upon power-up. See Figure 6
for clock mode 10 timing.
Performing Conversions in Clock Mode 11
In clock mode 11, acquisitions and conversions are initiated by writing to the conversion register and are performed one at a time using the SCLK as the conversion
clock. Scanning and averaging are disabled, and the
conversion result is available at DOUT during the conversion. See Figure 7 for clock mode 11 timing.
Initiate a scan by writing a byte to the conversion register. The MAX11634–MAX11637 then power up, scan all
requested channels, store the results in the FIFO, and
shut down. After the scan is complete, EOC is pulled
low and the results are available in the FIFO. EOC stays
low until CS is pulled low again.
Initiate a conversion by writing a byte to the conversion
register followed by 16 SCLK cycles. If CS is pulsed
high between the eighth and ninth cycles, the pulse
width must be less than 100µs. To continuously convert
at 16 cycles per conversion, alternate 1 byte of zeros
between each conversion byte.

Partial Reads and Partial Writes
If the first byte of an entry in the FIFO is partially read
(CS is pulled high after fewer than eight SCLK cycles),
the second byte of data that is read out contains the
next 8 bits (not b[7:0]). The remaining bits are lost for
that entry. If the first byte of an entry in the FIFO is read
out fully, but the second byte is read out partially, the
rest of the entry is lost. The remaining data in the FIFO
is uncorrupted and can be read out normally after taking CS low again, as long as the four leading bits (normally zeros) are ignored. Internal registers that are
written partially through the SPI contain new values,
starting at the MSB up to the point that the partial write
is stopped. The part of the register that is not written
contains previously written values. If CS is pulled low
before EOC goes low, a conversion cannot be completed and the FIFO is corrupted.
Transfer Function
Figure 8 shows the unipolar transfer function for singleended or differential inputs. Figure 9 shows the bipolar
transfer function for differential inputs. Code transitions
occur halfway between successive-integer LSB values.
Output coding is binary, with 1 LSB = VREF/4096 for
unipolar and bipolar operation, and 1 LSB = 0.125°C
for temperature measurements.
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
MAX11634–MAX11637 package. High-frequency noise
in the V DD power supply can affect performance.
Bypass the VDD supply with a 0.1µF capacitor 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.
Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity
Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values
on an 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 nullified. INL for
the MAX11634–MAX11637 is measured using the endpoint method.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) 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.
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in
the time between the samples.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay (t AD ) is the time between the rising
edge of the sampling clock and the instant when an
actual sample is taken.

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 and results directly from the ADC’s resolution
(N bits):
SNR = (6.02 x N + 1.76)dB
In reality, 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.
Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion
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)

INPUT VOLTAGE (LSB)
*VCOM ≥ VREF / 2
Figure 9. Bipolar Transfer Function, Full Scale (±FS) = ±VREF /2
sampling rate. An ideal ADC error consists of quantization noise only. With an input range equal to the fullscale range of the ADC, calculate the effective number
of bits as follows:
ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76)/6.02
Total Harmonic Distortion
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 V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2–V5 are
the amplitudes of the 2nd-order to 5th-order harmonics.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
Spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is the ratio of the
RMS amplitude of the fundamental (maximum signal
component) to the RMS value of the next largest distortion component.
Effective number of bits (ENOB) indicates the global
accuracy of an ADC at a specific input frequency and
