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 sam-
pling, and the conversion start. Bits 3 and 2 (REFSEL1
and REFSEL0) control internal or external reference use.
Bits 1 and 0 (DIFFSEL1 and DIFFSEL0) address the
unipolar mode and bipolar mode registers and configure
the analog input channels for differential operation.
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 unipo-
lar 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 out-
put 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 con-
version 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).
