Temperature Sensing, and GPIO Ports
GPIOB3, and GPIOC0–GPIOC3. The MAX1220 includes
four GPIO channels (GPIOA0, GPIOA1, GPIOC0,
GPIOC1). Read and write to the GPIOs as detailed in
Table 1 and Tables 12–19. Also, see the GPIO Command
section. See Figures 11 and 12 for GPIO timing.
Write to the GPIOs by writing a command byte to the
GPIO command register. Write a single data byte to the
MAX1220 following the command byte. Write 2 bytes to
the MAX1257/MAX1258 following the command byte.
The GPIOs can sink and source current. The
MAX1257/MAX1258 GPIOA0–GPIOA3 can sink and
source up to 15mA. GPIOB0–GPIOB3 and GPIOC0–
GPIOC3 can sink 4mA and source 2mA. The MAX1220
GPIOA0 and GPIOA1 can sink and source up to 15mA.
The MAX1220 GPIOC0 and GPIOC1 can sink 4mA and
source 2mA. See Table 3.
Clock Modes
Internal Clock
The MAX1220/MAX1257/MAX1258 can operate from an
internal oscillator. The internal oscillator is active in
clock modes 00, 01, and 10. Figures 6, 7, and 8 show
how to start an ADC conversion in the three internally
timed conversion modes.
Read out the data at clock speeds up to 25MHz
through the SPI interface.
External Clock
Set CKSEL1 and CKSEL0 in the setup register to 11 to
set up the interface for external clock mode 11. See
Table 5. Pulse SCLK at speeds from 0.1MHz to
3.6MHz. Write to SCLK with a 40% to 60% duty cycle.
The SCLK frequency controls the conversion timing.
See Figure 9 for clock mode 11 timing. See the ADC
Conversions in Clock Mode 11 section.
ADC/DAC References
Address the reference through the setup register, bits 3
and 2. See Table 5. Following a wake-up delay, set
REFSEL[1:0] = 00 to program both the ADC and DAC
for internal reference use. Set REFSEL[1:0] = 10 to pro-
gram the ADC for internal reference. Set REFSEL[1:0] =
10 to program the DAC for external reference, REF1.
When using REF1 or REF2/AIN_ in external-reference
mode, connect a 0.1µF capacitor to AGND. Set
REFSEL[1:0] = 01 to program the ADC and DAC for
external-reference mode. The DAC uses REF1 as its
external reference, while the ADC uses REF2 as its
external reference. Set REFSEL[1:0] = 11 to program
the ADC for external differential reference mode. REF1
is the positive reference and REF2 is the negative refer-
ence in the ADC external differential mode.
When REFSEL[1:0] = 00 or 10, REF2/AIN_ functions as
an analog input channel. When REFSEL[1:0] = 01 or 11,
REF2/AIN_ functions as the device’s negative reference.
Temperature Measurements
Issue a command byte setting bit 0 of the conversion
register to one to take a temperature measurement.
See Table 4. The MAX1220/MAX1257/MAX1258 perform
temperature measurements with an internal diode-con-
nected transistor. The diode bias current changes from
68µA to 4µA to produce a temperature-dependent bias
voltage difference. The second conversion result at 4µA
is subtracted from the first at 68µA to calculate a digital
value that is proportional to absolute temperature. The
output data appearing at DOUT is the digital code
above, minus an offset to adjust from Kelvin to Celsius.
The reference voltage used for the temperature mea-
surements is always derived from the internal reference
source to ensure that 1 LSB corresponds to 1/8 of a
degree Celsius. On every scan where a temperature
measurement is requested, the temperature conversion
is carried out first. The first 2 bytes of data read from
the FIFO contain the result of the temperature measure-
ment. If another temperature measurement is per-
formed before the first temperature result is read out,
the old measurement is overwritten by the new result.
Temperature results are in degrees Celsius (two’s com-
plement). See the Applications Information section for
information on how to perform temperature measure-
ments in each clock mode.
Register Descriptions
The MAX1220/MAX1257/MAX1258 communicate
between the internal registers and the external circuitry
through the SPI-compatible serial interface. Table 1
details the command byte, the registers, and the bit
