• Internal-Clock-Mode Control Byte

• Partial Power-Down-Mode Control Byte
This prevents the MAX1300/MAX1301 from inadvertent-
ly exiting full power-down mode because of a CS glitch
in a noisy digital environment.
Power-On Reset
The MAX1300/MAX1301 power up in normal operation
configured for external clock mode with all circuitry
active (Tables 7 and 8). Each analog input channel
(CH0–CH7) is set for single-ended conversions with a
±3 x V_REF bipolar input range (Table 6).
Allow the power supplies to stabilize after power-up. Do
not initiate any conversions until the power supplies
have stabilized. Additionally, allow 10ms for the internal
reference to stabilize when C_REF = 1.0μF and C_REFCAP
= 0.1μF. Larger reference capacitors require longer
stabilization times.
Internal or External Reference
The MAX1300/MAX1301 operate with either an internal or
external reference. The reference voltage impacts the
ADC’s FSR (Figures 12, 13, and 14). An external refer-
ence is recommended if more accuracy is required than
the internal reference provides, and/or multiple converters
require the same reference voltage.
Internal Reference
The MAX1300/MAX1301 contain an internal 4.096V
bandgap reference. This bandgap reference is connect-
ed to REFCAP through a nominal 5kΩ resistor (Figure 17).
The voltage at REFCAP is buffered creating 4.096V at
REF. When using the internal reference, bypass

External Reference
For external reference operation, disable the internal
reference and reference buffer by connecting REFCAP
to AV_DD1. With AV_DD1 connected to REFCAP, REF
becomes a high-impedance input and accepts an
external reference voltage. The MAX1300/MAX1301
can accept an external reference voltage of 4.096V or
less. However, to meet all of the electrical characteristic
specifications, V_REF must be > 38V. The MAX1300/
MAX1301 external reference current varies depending
on the applied reference voltage and the operating
mode (see the External Reference Input Current vs.
External Reference Input Voltage in the Typical
Operating Characteristics).
Applications Information
Noise Reduction
Additional samples can be taken and averaged (over-
sampling) to remove the effect of transition noise on
conversion results. The square root of the number of
samples determines the improvement in performance.
For example, with 2/3LSB_RMS (4LSB_P-P) transition
noise, 16 (4² = 16) samples must be taken to reduce
the noise to 1LSB_P-P.
Interface with 0 to 10V Signals
In industrial control applications, 0 to 10V signaling is
common. For 0 to 10V applications, configure the selected
MAX1300/MAX1301 input channel for the single-ended 0
to 3 x V_REF input range (R[2:0] = 110, Table 6). The 0 to
3 x V_REF range accommodates 0 to 10V where the sig-
nals saturate at approximately 3 x V_REF if out of range.
Interface with 4–20mA Signals
Figure 19 illustrates a simple interface between the
MAX1300/MAX1301 and a 4–20mA signal. 4–20mA sig-
naling can be used as a binary switch (4mA represents
a logic-low signal, 20mA represents a logic-high sig-
nal), or for precision communication where currents
between 4mA and 20mA represent intermediate analog
data. For binary switch applications, connect the
4–20mA signal to the MAX1300/MAX1301 with a resis-
tor to ground. For example, a 250Ω resistor converts
the 4–20mA signal to a 1V to 5V signal. Adjust the
resistor value so the parallel combination of the resistor
and the MAX1300/MAX1301 source impedance is
250Ω. In this application, select the single-ended 0 to
(3 x V_REF)/2 range (R[2:0] = 011, Table 6). For applica-
tions that require precision measurements of continu-
ous analog currents between 4mA and 20mA, use a
buffer to prevent the MAX1300/MAX1301 input from
diverting current from the 4–20mA signal.
