MAX11359A
16-Bit Data-Acquisition System with ADC, DAC,
UPIOs, RTC, Voltage Monitors, and Temp Sensor
56 Maxim Integrated
ALD: Alarm (day) status bit. ALD = 1 when the value
programmed in ASEC<19:0> in the AL_DAY register
matches SEC<19:0> in the RTC register. Clear the ALD
bit by reading the STATUS register or by disabling the
day alarm (ADE = 0). The power-on default is 0.
UPR<4:1>: User-programmable I/O rising-edge status
bits. UPR_ = 1 indicates a rising edge on the respec-
tive UPIO_ pin has occurred. Clear UPR_ by reading
the STATUS register. Rising edges are detected inde-
pendent of UPIO_ configuration, providing the ability to
capture and record rising input (e.g., WU) or output
(e.g., PWM) edge events on the UPIO_. Set the appro-
priate mask to determine if the edge will generate an
interrupt on INT. If the UPIO_ is configured as an out-
put, INT provides confirmation that an intended rising
edge output occurred and has reached the desired
DVDD or CPOUT level (i.e., was not loaded down exter-
nally). The power-on default is 0.
UPF<4:1>: User-programmable I/O falling-edge status
bit. UPF_ = 1 indicates a falling edge on the respective
UPIO_ has occurred. Clear UPF_ by reading the
STATUS register. Falling edges are detected indepen-
dent of UPIO_ configuration, providing the ability to cap-
ture and record falling input (e.g., WU) or output (e.g.,
PWM) edge events on the UPIO_. Set the appropriate
mask to determine if that edge should generate an inter-
rupt on the INT pin. If the UPIO is configured as an out-
put, INT provides confirmation that an intended falling
edge output occurred at the pin and it reached the
desired DGND level. The power-on default is 0.
Applications Information
Analog Filtering
The internal digital filter does not provide rejection
close to the harmonics of the modulator sample fre-
quency. However, due to high oversampling ratios in
the MAX11359A, these bands typically occupy a small
fraction of the spectrum and most broadband noise is
filtered. Therefore, the analog filtering requirements in
front of the MAX11359A are considerably reduced
compared to a conventional converter with no on-chip
filtering. In addition, because the device’s common-
mode rejection (60dB) extends out to several kHz, the
common-mode noise susceptibility in this frequency
range is substantially reduced.
Depending on the application, provide filtering prior to the
MAX11359A to eliminate unwanted frequencies the digital
filter does not reject. Providing additional filtering in some
applications ensures that differential noise signals outside
the frequency band of interest do not saturate the analog
modulator.
When placing passive components in front of the
MAX11359A, ensure a low enough source impedance
to prevent introducing gain errors to the system. This
configuration significantly limits the amount of passive
anti-aliasing filtering that can be applied in front of the
MAX11359A. See Table 3 for acceptable source
impedances.
Power-On Reset or Power-Up
After a power-on reset, the DVDD voltage supervisor is
enabled and all UPIOs are configured as inputs with
pullups enabled. The internal oscillators are enabled and
are output at CLK and CLK32K once the DVDD voltage
supervisor is cleared and the subsequent timeout period
has expired. All interrupts are masked except CRDY.
Figure 19 illustrates the timing of various signals during
initial power-up, sleep mode, and wake-up events. The
ADC, charge pump, internal reference, op amp(s), DAC,
and switches are disabled after power-up.
Power Modes
Two power modes are available for the MAX11359A:
sleep and normal mode. In sleep mode, all functional
blocks are powered down except the serial interface,
data registers, internal bandgap, wake-up circuitry (if
enabled), DVDD voltage supervisor (if enabled), and
the 32kHz oscillator (if enabled), which remain active.
See Table 15 for details of the sleep-mode and normal-
mode power states of the various internal blocks.
Each analog block can be shut down individually
through its respective control register with the excep-
tion of the bandgap reference.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode is entered one of three ways:
• Writing to the SLEEP register address. The result is
the SHDN bit is set to 1.
• Asserting the SLEEP or SLEEP function on a UPIO
(SLEEP takes precedence over software writes or
wake-up events). The SHDN bit is unaffected.
• Asserting the SHDN bit by writing SLP = 1 in the
SLEEP_CFG register.
Entering sleep mode is an OR function of the UPIO or
SHDN bit. Before entering sleep mode, configure the
normal mode conditions.
Exit sleep mode and enter normal mode by one of the
following methods:
• With the SHDN bit = 0, deassert the SLEEP or
SLEEP function on UPIO, only if SLEEP or SLEEP
function is used for entering sleep mode.
