MAX1153-MAX1154

19-2839; Rev 0; 4/03 Stand-Alone, 10-Channel, 10-Bit System Monitors with Internal Temperature Sensor and VDD Monitor General Description The MAX1153/MAX1154 are stand-alone, 10-channel (8 external, 2 internal) 10-bit system monitor ADCs with internal reference. A programmable single-ended/differential mux accepts voltage and remote-diode temperature-sensor inputs. These devices independently monitor the input channels without microprocessor interaction and generate an interrupt when any variable exceeds user-defined limits. The MAX1153/MAX1154 configure both high and low limits, as well as the number of fault cycles allowed, before generating an interrupt. These ADCs can also perform recursive data averaging for noise reduction. Programmable wait intervals between conversion sequences allow the selection of the sample rate. At the maximum sampling rate of 94ksps (auto mode, single channel enabled), the MAX1153 consumes only 5mW (1.7mA at 3V). AutoShutdownTM reduces supply current to 190µA at 2ksps and to less than 8µA at 50sps. Stand-alone operation, combined with ease of use in a small package (16-pin TSSOP), makes the MAX1153/ MAX1154 ideal for multichannel system-monitoring applications. Low power consumption also makes these devices a good fit for hand-held and battery-powered applications.

Single-Ended/Differential Input Equivalent Input Circuit In differential mode, the T/H samples the difference between two analog inputs, eliminating common-mode DC offsets and noise. See the I nput Configuration Register section and Tables 5 and 6 for more details on configuring the analog inputs. Unipolar/Bipolar When performing differential conversions, the input configuration register (Tables 5 and 6) also selects between unipolar and bipolar operation. 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 straight binary in unipolar mode and two ’ s complement in bipolar mode (see the Transfer Function section). In single-ended mode, the MAX1153/MAX1154 always operate in unipolar mode. The analog inputs are internally referenced to GND with a full-scale input range from 0 to VREF. Digital Interface The MAX1153/MAX1154 digital interface consists of five signals: C S , SCLK, DIN, DOUT, and INT. C S , SCLK, DIN, and DOUT comprise an SPI™-compatible serial interface (see the Serial Digital Interface section). INT is an independent output that provides an indication that an alarm has occurred in the system (see the INT Interrupt Output section). Serial Digital Interface The MAX1153/MAX1154 feature a serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™ devices. For SPI/QSPI, ensure that the CPU serial interface runs in master mode so it generates the serial clock signal. Select a serial clock frequency of 10MHz or less, and set clock polarity (CPOL) and phase (CPHA) in the µP control registers to the same value, one or zero. The MAX1153/MAX1154 support operation with SCLK idling high or low, and thus operate with CPOL = CPHA = 0 or CPOL = CPHA = 1. SPI and QSPI are trademarks of Motorola, Inc.

Detailed Serial Interface Timing Diagram Clock pulses on SCLK shift data into DIN on the rising edge of the SCLK and out of DOUT on the falling edge of SCLK. Data transfers require a logic low on CS. A high-to-low transition of CS marks the beginning of a data transfer. A logic high on CS at any time resets the serial interface. See Figure 6 and the Timing Characteristics table for detailed serial-interface timing information. Output Data Format Output data from the MAX1153/MAX1154 is clocked onto DOUT on the falling edge of SCLK. Single-ended and unipolar differential measurements are output in straight binary MSB first, with two 8-bytes-per-conversion result, with 2 sub-bits and the last 4 bits padded with zeros. For temperature and bipolar differential voltage measurements, the output is two’s complement binary in the same 2-byte format. The MSB of the output data from a read command transitions at DOUT after the falling edge of the 8th SCLK clock pulse following the CS high-to-low transition. Table 2 shows the number of bytes to be read from DOUT for a given read command. Input Data Format Serial communications always begin with an 8-bit command word, serially loaded from DIN. A high-to-low transition on CS initiates the data input operation. The command word and the subsequent data bytes (for write operations) are clocked from DIN into the MAX1153/MAX1154 on the rising edges of SCLK. The first rising edge on SCLK, after CS goes low, clocks in the MSB of the command word (see the C ommand Word section). The next seven rising edges on SCLK complete the loading of the command word into the internal command register. After the 8-bit command word is entered, transfer 0 to 20 bytes of data, depending on the command. Table 2 shows the number of data bytes for each command. Command Word The command word (Table 1) controls all serial communications and configuration of the MAX1153/ MAX1154, providing access to the 44 on-chip registers. The first 4 MSBs of the command word specify the command (Table 2), while the last 4 bits provide address information. The first rising edge on SCLK, after CS goes low, transfers the command word MSB into DIN. The next seven rising edges on SCLK shift the remaining 7 bits into the internal command register (see the S erial Digital Interface section). Table 1.

The address bits in a Manually Triggered Conversion command select the input channel for conversion (see Table 3). When performing a differential conversion, use the even channel address (AIN0, AIN2, AIN4, AIN6); the command is ignored if odd channel addresses (AIN1, AIN3, AIN5, AIN7) are used for a differential conversion. After issuing a Manually Triggered Conversion command, bring CS high to begin the conversion. To obtain a correct conversion result, CS must remain high for a period longer than the reference power-up time (if in power-down mode) plus the conversion time for the selected channel-configured conversion type (voltage or temperature). The conversion’s result can then be read at DOUT by issuing a Read Current Data Register for Selected Channel command, addressing the converted channel. See Table 3 for channel addresses. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 Stand-Alone, 10-Channel, 10-Bit System Monitors with Internal Temperature Sensor and VDD Monitor MAX1153/MAX1154 Read Alarm Register (Command Code 0001) The Read Alarm Register command, 0001, outputs the current status of the alarm register (see Table 11). The address bits in this command are ignored. The alarm register is 24 bits long and outputs in 3 bytes. Table 12 illustrates the encoding of the alarm register. After receiving an interrupt, read the alarm register to determine the source of the interrupt (see the Alarm Register section). Read Current Data Register for All Channels (Command Code 0011) The Read Current Data Registers for All Channels command, 0011, outputs the data in the current data registers of all 10 channels, starting with the internal temperature sensor, then the VDD monitor, followed by AIN0 to AIN7. The address bits following this command are ignored. It takes 20 bytes to read all of the 10 channels’ current data registers. Read Current Data Register for Selected Channel (Command Code 0010) The Read Current Data Register for Selected Channel command, 0010, outputs the data in the current data register of the selected channel. The address bits following this command select the input channel to be read (see Table 3). The current data register is a 10-bit register. It takes 2 bytes to read its value. See the Output Data Format and Current Data Registers sections for more details. See Table 3 for channel addresses. Also, see Figure 7. Read Configuration Register for Selected Channel (Command Code 0100) The Read Configuration Register for Selected Channel command, 0100, outputs the configuration data of the channel selected by the address bits (see Table 3). The first register that shifts out is the upper threshold register (2 bytes), followed by the lower threshold register (2 bytes), ending with the channel configuration register (1 byte), all MSB first. It takes 5 bytes to read all three registers. See the Channel Registers section for more details. CS SCLK DIN C3 C2 C1 C0 A3 A2 A1 A0 DOUT D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 Figure 7.

The address bits following this command are ignored. When the MAX1153/MAX1154 receive a Read Global Configuration Register command, they output 5 bytes of data: 2 bytes from the channel enable register, 2 bytes from the input configuration register, and 1 byte from the setup register, all MSB first. See the Global Configuration Registers section for more details. Clear Alarm Register for All Channels (Command Code 1001) The Clear Alarm Register for All Channels command, 1001, clears the entire alarm register and resets the fault counters for the internal TEMP sensor, the VDD monitor, and the AIN0–AIN7 channels. The address bits in the command are ignored. See the Alarm Register section for more details. MAX1153/MAX1154 Write Current Data Register for Selected Channel (Command Code 1010) The Write Current Data Register for Selected Channel command, 1010, writes to the addressed channel’s current data register. This command sets an initial condition when using the averaging filter option (see the Averaging section). This command can also be used for testing the thresholds, fault counters, and alarm functions (see Figure 8). See Table 3 for channel addresses. RESET (Command Code 0111) The RESET command, 0111, resets the device. This command returns the MAX1153/MAX1154 to their power-on reset state, placing the device into shutdown mode. The address bits in the command are ignored. See the Power-Up/Reset Defaults Summary section for more details. Clear Channel Alarm for Selected Channel (Command Code 1000) The Clear Channel Alarm command, 1000, clears the alarm bits in the alarm register and resets the fault counter for the addressed channel. See the A larm Register section for more details. See Table 3 for channel addresses. Write Current Data Register for All Channels (Command Code 1011) The Write Current Data Register for All Channels command, 1011, writes to the current data registers of all channels sequentially, starting with the internal temperature sensor, then the VDD monitor, followed by channels AIN0 to AIN7. The address bits are ignored. Use this command for testing and setting initial conditions when using the averaging filter option (see the Averaging section).

The first register to be written is the upper threshold (2 bytes), followed by the lower threshold (2 bytes), ending with the channel configuration register (1 byte), all MSB first. Writing to the configuration registers resets the alarm register bits and the fault counters for the addressed channel. See the Channel Registers section for more details. Channel-Enable Register The channel-enable register (Table 4) controls which channels are converted while in automatic scan mode. The register contents are ignored for manual conversion commands. Each input channel has a corresponding bit in the channel-enable register. A logic high enables the corresponding analog input channel for conversion, while a logic low disables it. In differential configuration, the bits for odd channels are ignored. At power-up and after a RESET command, the register contents default to 111111111111b (all channels enabled). Write Global Configuration Registers (Command Code 1101) The Write Global Configuration Registers command, 1101, writes to three registers: the channel-enable register (2 bytes), the input configuration register (2 bytes), and the setup register (1 byte). The command address bits are ignored. See the G lobal Configuration Registers section for more details. Input Configuration Register The input configuration register (Table 5) stores the configuration code for each channel as a 3-bit per channel-pair code (see Table 6), selecting from five input signal configurations: single-ended unipolar voltage, single-ended temperature, differential unipolar voltage, differential bipolar voltage, and differential temperature. Table 5 shows the input configuration register format, and Table 6 shows the 3-bit encoding for channel configuration. At power-up and after a RESET command, the register contents defaults to 000000000000b (all inputs single ended). Global Configuration Registers The global configuration registers consist of the channel-enable register, the input configuration register, and the setup register. These registers hold configuration data common to all channels. Table 4.

At power-up and after a RESET command, this register defaults to 00000000b. Setup Register: Sample Wait Bits (B7, B6, B5) These 3 bits in the setup register (Table 8) set the wait time between conversion scans. The following are examples of how the MAX1153/MAX1154 begin a sample sequence (see the S etup Register: Reference Selection Bits (B1/B0) section). Operating in reference mode 00 (external reference for voltage conversions, internal reference for temperature conversions): 1) Convert the first-enabled channel. If this channel is a temperature measurement, power up the internal reference (this takes 20µs for each enabled temperature measurement in reference mode 00). 2) Sequence to the next-enabled channel until all channels have been converted. 3) Wait the sample wait period. 4) Repeat the procedure. Operating in reference mode 01 (internal reference for all conversions, can be powered down between scans): 1) Power up the internal reference, if powered down (this takes 40µs). 2) Convert the first-enabled channel, starting with the internal temperature sensor, if enabled. 3) Sequence to the next-enabled channel until all enabled channels have been converted. 4) Wait the sample wait time, and enter internal reference power-down mode if this period is greater than 80µs. 5) Repeat the above steps. Operating in reference mode 10 (internal reference for all conversions, continuously powered up): 1) Convert the first-enabled channel. 2) Sequence to the next-enabled channel until all enabled channels have been converted. 3) Wait the sample wait time. 4) Repeat the procedure. Use the sample wait feature to reduce supply current when measuring slow-changing analog signals. This power savings occurs when reference mode 00 or 01 is used in combination with wait times longer than 80µs. With reference mode 10 or wait times of less than 80µs, the internal reference system remains powered up, minimizing any power savings. See the Computing Data Throughput section. Table 8 shows the B7, B6, B5 wait time encoding.

When set (B2 = 1), the MAX1153/MAX1154 enter automatic scanning mode and convert every enabled channel starting with the internal temperature sensor, followed by the VDD monitor, then sequencing through AIN0 to AIN7. After converting all the enabled channels, the MAX1153/MAX1154 enter a wait state set by the sample wait bits in the setup register. After completing the sample wait time, the scan cycle repeats. When B2 = 0, the MAX1153/MAX1154 are in manual mode and convert only the selected channel after receiving a Manually Triggered Conversion command (see the Manually Triggered Conversion (Command Code 0000) section). Whether in automatic scanning mode or manual mode, a Read Current Data Register for Selected Channel command outputs the last-completed conversion result for the addressed channel at DOUT. Setup Register: Reference Selection Bits (B1, B0) The MAX1153/MAX1154 can be used with an internal or external reference. Select between internal and external reference modes through bits B1 and B0 of the setup register (see Table 10). Alarm Register The alarm register (Table 11) holds the current alarm status for all of the monitored signals. This 24-bit register can only be read and cleared. The alarm register has 2 bits for each external input channel, 2 for the onboard temperature sensor, and 2 for the VDD monitor (see Table 12). At power-up, these bits are logic low, indicating no alarms at any input. When any bit in the alarm register is set, INT becomes active and remains active until all alarm bits are cleared. After a fault counter exceeds the set threshold, the alarm register bits for that particular channel are updated to indicate an alarm. To clear the interrupt, reset the active alarm bit with the Clear Alarm Register command, Clear Channel Alarm command, a RESET command, or by writing a new configuration to the faulting channel. The alarm register defaults to 000000 hex. Table 11 illustrates how the alarm register stores the information on which channel a fault has occurred. The alarm code for each bit pair is shown in Table 12. Table 10. Reference Selection B1 B0 REFERENCE MODE Voltage measurements use external reference, while temperature measurements use the internal reference. A 20µs reference startup delay is added prior to each temperature measurement in this mode. This is the default mode after power-up and after a software RESET. All measurements use the internal reference. A 40µs reference startup delay is added prior to starting the scanning of enabled channels, allowing the internal reference to stabilize. Note: For sample wait times less than 80µs, the reference is continuously powered when in automatic scan mode. All measurements use the internal reference. By selecting this mode, the reference is powered up immediately when CS goes high after writing this configuration. Once the reference system is powered up, no further delay is added. Reserved. Channel Registers Each channel (internal temperature sensor, VDD monitor, and AIN0 to AIN7) has registers to hold the conversion result (current data register) and channel-specific configuration data. The channel-specific configuration registers include: the upper threshold register, the lower threshold register, and the channel configuration register. In differential mode, only the registers for the even channel of the differential input pair are used. The channel-specific configuration registers for the odd channel of a differential channel pair are ignored. 0 0 0 1 Table 12.

If the next counter finds the input signal outside the opposite threshold, rather than the previous one, the fault counter also resets. The fault counter increments only when counting consecutive faults exceeding the same threshold (Figure 4). Averaging The averaging calculated by the data-acquisition algorithm of the MAX1153/MAX1154 improves the input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by reducing the signal bandwidth digitally. The formula below describes the filter implemented in the MAX1153/MAX1154: current value = [(N - 1) / N] x past value + [(present value) / N] where N = number of samples indicated in Table 14. The averaging bits (B3–B0) in the channel configuration register can set the N factor to any value in Table 14. The output of the filter-running algorithm is continuously available in the current data register. The starting value used by the algorithm is the initial state of the current data register. The current data register is reset to midscale (800 hex) at power-up or after a RESET command, but it can be loaded with a more appropriate initial value to improve the filter settling time. At power-up or after a RESET command, the B3–B0 bits of the channel configuration register are set to 0 hex, corresponding to a number of averaged N = 1, no averaging. See Table 13 and the W rite-Selected Channel Configuration Registers section for programming details. See Table 14 for N encoding. As in all digital filters, truncation can be a cause of significant errors. In the MAX1153/MAX1154, 24 bits of precision are maintained in the digital averaging functions, maintaining a worst-case truncation error of well below an LSB. The worst-case truncation error in the MAX1153/MAX1154 is given by the following: worst - case truncation error = N -1 LSBs 16384 Channel Configuration Register Each channel has a channel configuration register (Table 13) defining the number of consecutive faults to be detected before setting the alarm bits and generating an interrupt, as well as controlling the digital averaging function. At power-up and after a RESET command, the register defaults to 00 hex (no averaging, alarm on first fault). Fault Bits The value stored in the fault bits (B7–B4) in the channel configuration register sets the number of faults that must occur for that channel before generating an interrupt. Encoding of the fault bits is straight binary with values 0 to 15. A fault occurs in a channel when the value in its current data register is outside the range defined by the channel’s upper and lower threshold registers. For example, if the number of faults set by the fault bits is N, an interrupt is generated when the number of consecutive faults (see following note) reach (N + 1). The fault bits default to 0 hex at power-up. Note: Consecutive faults are those happening in consecutive conversion scans for the same channel. If a fault occurs and the next scan finds the input within the where N = number of conversions averaged. Therefore, the worst truncation error when averaging 256 samples is 0.01557 LSBs. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 21 Stand-Alone, 10-Channel, 10-Bit System Monitors with Internal Temperature Sensor and VDD Monitor MAX1153/MAX1154 Upper Threshold Register A conversion result greater than the value stored in the upper threshold register results in a fault, increasing the internal fault counter by one. When the fault count exceeds the value stored in fault bits B7–B4 of the channel configuration register, the channel’s alarm bits in the alarm register are set, resulting in an interrupt on INT. The upper threshold register data format must be the same as the input channel. When the input channel is configured for single-ended or differential unipolar voltage measurements, data stored in the upper threshold register is interpreted as straight binary. For input channels configured for temperature measurements or as differential bipolar voltage inputs, the upper threshold register data is interpreted as two’s complement. Load the register with 3FF hex to disable upper threshold faults in unipolar mode, and 1FF hex in temperature or bipolar mode. The power-up/reset default is FFF hex. See the Command Word section on how to read/write to the upper threshold registers. channel are updated to indicate an alarm. When any bit in the alarm register is set, the INT output becomes active, and stays active until all alarm bits are cleared. See the Alarm Register section for more information. Servicing Interrupts at INT After detecting an interrupt on INT, the µC’s interrupt routine should first read the alarm register to find the source of the alarm and reset the alarm bits by using any of the methods described in the Alarm Register section. Then it can continue with any other action required by the application to react to the alarm. Note: Multiple alarm conditions can be present. The INT remains active until all alarm conditions have been cleared. Performing Conversions At power-up or after a RESET command, the MAX1153/MAX1154 default to shutdown mode with all channels enabled, set for single-ended voltage measurements, and with the scan mode set to manual. Start a conversion by issuing a manually triggered conversion command with the address bits of the channel selected (see the Manual Conversion section for more details) or by setting automatic scan mode. To place the MAX1153/MAX1154 in automatic scan mode, set the scan mode bit B2 in the setup register to logic 1. In automatic scan mode, the MAX1153/MAX1154 convert all enabled channels starting with the internal temperature sensor, followed by the VDD monitor, then by AIN0 to AIN7. As the scan sequence progresses, the analog inputs are converted and the resulting values are stored for each channel into its current data register. Once the scan cycle completes, the MAX1153/ MAX1154 wait a period determined by the sample wait bits (B7, B6, B5) in the setup register and then repeat the scan cycle. After configuring the MAX1153/MAX1154 with automatic scan mode enabled, the devices do not require any intervention from the system µC until an alarm is triggered. All conversion and monitoring functions can continue running indefinitely. Lower Threshold Register Conversion results lower than the value stored in the lower threshold register increment the internal fault counter. Considerations about channel configuration register fault bits B7–B4, INT interrupts, and data format are the same as for the upper threshold register. Set the register to 000 hex to disable lower threshold faults in unipolar mode, or to 200 hex in temperature or bipolar mode. The power-up/reset default is 000 hex. See the Command Word section on how to read/write to the lower threshold registers. Current Data Registers The current data register holds the last conversion result or the digitally averaged result, when enabled (see the Averaging section). The current data registers default to 800 hex at power-up/reset and can be read from and written to through the serial interface. See the Command Word section on how to read/write to the current data registers. INT Interrupt Output INT provides an indication that an alarm has occurred in the system. It can be programmed (see Table 9) to operate as a push-pull digital output or as an opendrain output (requiring either a pullup or a pulldown resistor) for wired-OR interrupt lines. Bits B3 and B4 in the setup register configure INT and determine its response to an alarm event. When an internal fault counter exceeds the threshold stored in the fault bits (B7–B4) of the corresponding channel configuration register, the alarm bits for that particular 22 Manual Conversion In manual mode (scan mode bit in the setup register set to zero, the default after power-up/reset), the MAX1153/MAX1154 convert individual channels with the Manually Triggered Conversion command. Assuming that, either by power-up/RESET defaults or by previous initialization, the channel to be addressed is both enabled and configured for the type of signal to be acquired (voltage/temperature, single ended/differential, or unipolar/bipolar), carry out the following steps to ______________________________________________________________________________________ Stand-Alone, 10-Channel, 10-Bit System Monitors with Internal Temperature Sensor and VDD Monitor execute a manual conversion. See Figure 9 for manual conversion timing: 1) Disable autoscan (set up register scan mode bit to zero), if necessary. 2) Pull CS low. 3) Initiate a conversion by issuing a Manually Triggered Conversion command (0000, followed by the address bits of the channel to be converted). 4) Pull CS high to start the conversion. 5) Maintain a logic high on CS to allow for reference power-up (if the reference mode requires it) and conversion time. 6) Pull CS low. 7) Issue a Read Current Data Register for SelectedChannel command (0010, followed by the same address of the channel in the Manually Triggered Conversion command). Monitoring VDD This internal acquisition channel samples and converts the supply voltage, VDD. VDD value can be calculated from the digitized data with the following equation: V  VDD = 2 x (current _ data _ register _ content) x  REF   1024  The reference voltage must be larger than 1/2VDD for the operation to work properly. VDD monitoring requires 10.6µs (typ) per measurement. MAX1153/MAX1154 Temperature Measurement The MAX1153/MAX1154 perform temperature measurement by measuring the voltage across a diode-connected transistor at two different current levels. The following equation illustrates the algorithm used for temperature calculations: q k temperature = (VHIGH − VLOW) x  IHigh  n x ln    ILOW  Voltage Measurements Every voltage measurement (internal VDD or external input channel) requires 10.6µs to complete. If the internal reference needs to power up (reference mode = 01), an additional 40µs is required every time the MAX1153/MAX1154 come out of automatic shutdown mode after a sample wait period greater than 80µs. tPU+CONV CS SCLK DIN C3 C2 C1 C0 A3 A2 A1 A0 C3 C2 C1 C0 A3 A2 A1 A0 DOUT Figure 9.

The MAX1153/MAX1154 support both single-ended and differential temperature measurements. the reference mode, and starts the automatic scan mode. See the Write Global Configuration Registers Command section, Table 2, and Tables 5–10. Immediately after the global configuration register is loaded, the MAX1153/MAX1154 begin to update the current data registers. Acquire conversion data from the MAX1153/MAX1154 by issuing a command to read a specific channel with the Read Current Data Register for Selected Channel command. Read all current data register at once with the Read Current Data Registers for All Channels command. For more complex applications, the monitoring and interrupt generation features of the MAX1153/MAX1154 require a second step of initialization. Each enabled channel to be monitored requires configuration using a Write Configuration Register for Selected Channel command. Each command is a 5-byte write that sets the upper and lower fault thresholds, the number of faults for an alarm before an interrupt is generated, and an average algorithm parameter if the application requires input signal filtering. Applications can read the current data registers and respond to interrupts signaled by the INT output (see the Servicing Interrupts at INT section). All the MAX1153/MAX1154 registers can be verified by reading back written data, including the configuration registers. This feature is useful for development and testing (see Table 2). Applications Information Setting Up the MAX1153/MAX1154 Subsystem The MAX1153/MAX1154 are autonomous subsystems, requiring only initialization to scan, convert, and monitor the voltage signals or the temperature sensors connected to their input channels. For simple applications, using any number of the input channels and any combination of voltage/temperature and unipolar/differential, with no interrupt generation required, use the following intitialization procedure: • Issue a Write Global Configuration Registers command. This is a single, 5-byte write operation that configures the input channels, enables the channels to be used, sets the sample wait time between scans, configures the interrupt output INT, selects Power-Up/Reset Defaults Summary Setup Register Power-Up/Reset Defaults At initial power-up or after a RESET command, the setup register resets to 00 hex. Consequently, the MAX1153/MAX1154 are configured as follows: • Sample wait time is 0µs. • INT output is open drain and outputs an active-low signal to signify an alarm. Table 15.

The sampling period is calculated as follows: tsw = (tpu) + (Nv)tconv[volt] + (Nt)tconv[temp] + twait where: tsw = all channels scan sampling period tpu = reference power-up time tconv[volt] = voltage-configured channel conversion time Nv = number of voltage-configured channels tconv[temp] = temperature-configured channel conversion time Nt = number of temperature-configured channels twait = sample wait time The terms in the previous equation are determined as shown by the number of enabled channels, the input channel configuration (voltage vs. temperature), the sample wait time, and the reference mode. The following calculation shows a numeric example: tsw = 40µs + 8 x 10.6µs + 2 x 46µs + 395µs = 611.8µs 40µs is the time required for the reference to powerup (reference mode = 00) every time the MAX1153/MAX1154 come out of automatic shutdown mode after a sample wait period. • 8 x 10.6µs is the time required for seven channels configured for voltage measurement and the VDD monitor. • 2 x 46µs is the time required for temperature measurement (46µs for each temperature measurement (internal or external)). • 395µs is the sample wait time, set by bits B5, B6, B7 of the setup register (see Tables 7 and 8). The MAX1153/MAX1154 use an internal clock for all conversions. The serial interface clock does not affect conversion time. Performing eight single-ended remote channels temperature measurements, an internal temperature measurement, and an internal VDD measurement with a sample wait time of zero results in an average conversion rate of 24ksps or 2.4ksps per channel. Performing eight single-ended voltage measurements, an internal temperature measurement, and an internal VDD measurement with sample wait time of zero results in an average conversion rate of 70ksps or 7ksps per channel. • MAX1153/MAX1154 Channel Enable Register Power-Up/Reset Defaults At power-on or after a RESET command, the channel enable register resets to FF hex, enabling all channels: the internal temperature sensor, the VDD monitor, and AIN0–AIN7. Input Configuration Register Power-Up/Reset Defaults At power-on or after a RESET command, the input configuration register resets to 00 hex, configuring AIN0–AIN7 for single-ended voltage measurement. Alarm Register Power-Up/Reset Defaults At power-on or after a RESET command, the alarm register is reset to 000000 hex, indicating that no alarm condition exists. Current Data Register Power-Up/Reset Defaults At power-on or after a RESET command, each channel’s current data register is reset to 800 hex. Upper Threshold Register Power-Up/Reset Defaults At power-on or after a RESET command, each channel's upper threshold register is reset to FFF hex. This state effectively disables the upper threshold. Lower Threshold Register Power-Up/Reset Defaults At power-on or after a RESET command, each channel's lower threshold register is reset to 000 hex. This state effectively disables the lower threshold. Channel Configuration Register Power-Up/Reset Defaults At power-on or after a RESET command, each channel's configuration register is reset to 000 hex, which configures the fault bits to cause an alarm to occur on the first overrange or underrange condition and disables averaging. Computing Data Throughput The MAX1153/MAX1154 throughput rate depends on the number of enabled channels, their configuration (temperature or voltage), and the reference mode. Voltage measurements require 10.6µs (typ) to complete, and temperature measurements require 46µs. Channel pairs configured for differential measurements count as only one for throughput computation. The reference system takes 20µs to power up in reference mode 00 prior to each temperature measurement, 40µs to power up in reference mode 01 after each sam- ______________________________________________________________________________________ 25 Stand-Alone, 10-Channel, 10-Bit System Monitors with Internal Temperature Sensor and VDD Monitor MAX1153/MAX1154 Automatic Reference Shutdown The MAX1153/MAX1154 enter an automatic shutdown mode when in reference mode 00 or when the sample wait is greater than 80µs in reference mode 01. Using either of these reference modes and a sample wait period as long as the application allows results in the lowest power consumption. Single-Ended Temperature Measurement Connect the anode of a diode-connected transistor to the input channel and the cathode to ground. Choose ground connections for sensors away from high-current return paths to avoid the introduction of errors caused by voltage drops in the board/system ground, which is the main drawback for single-ended measurements. Practical options for better accuracy are the use of a star-configured subsystem ground or a signal ground plane; to isolate the anode sensor connection trace away from board and system noise sources; or to shield it with ground lines and ground planes (when available) to prevent accuracy degradation in the temperature measurements caused by magnetic/electric noise induction. Configure the MAX1153/MAX1154 input used for singleended temperature measurement in the input configuration register (see Tables 9 and 10) and enable the analog input in the channel-enable register (see Table 4). Temperature Measurement The MAX1153/MAX1154 support both single-ended and differential temperature measurements. The design decision between the two types of measurements depends on the desired level of accuracy and on type and/or number of temperature sensors. The superior common-mode rejection and lower noise of the differential mode reduces measurement errors and provides higher accuracy, while single-ended measurements require a lower number of connections, resulting in a simpler implementation and a higher number of monitored points for each MAX1153/MAX1154. Differential Temperature Measurement Connect the anode of a diode-connected transistor to the even input channel and the cathode to the odd input channel of an input pair configured for differential temperature measurement (AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3, AIN4/AIN5, or AIN6/AIN7). Run the two sensor connection lines parallel to each other with minimum spacing. This improves temperature measurement accuracy by minimizing the differential noise between the two lines, since they have equal exposure to most sources of noise. For further improved noise rejection, shield the two sensor connections by running them between ground planes, when available. Configure the MAX1153/MAX1154 inputs for differential temperature measurement in the input configuration register (see Tables 9 and 10) and enable the even channel number in the channel enable register (see Table 4). Remote Temperature Sensor Selection Temperature-sensing accuracy depends on having a good-quality, diode-connected, small-signal transistor as a sensor. Accuracy has been experimentally verified for 2N3904-type devices. The transistor must be a small-signal type with low base resistance. Tight specifications for forward current gain (+50 to +150, for example) indicate that the manufacturer has good process controls and that the devices have consistent VBE characteristics. CPU on-board sensors and other ICs’ on-board temperature-sensing devices can also be used (see Table 16 for recommended devices).

Temperature Transfer Function Transfer Function Figure 10 shows the nominal transfer function for single-ended or differential unipolar configured inputs, Figure 11 illustrates the transfer function for differential bipolar conversions, and Figure 12 shows temperature conversions. Code transitions occur halfway between successive-integer LSB values. Output coding is binary, with 1 LSB = 2.44mV (MAX1153) or 4mV (MAX1154) for unipolar and bipolar operation, and 1 LSB = +0.5°C (MAX1153/MAX1154) for temperature measurements. For unipolar operation, the 0 code level transition is at [1/2(VREF / 1024)]. The FFF hex level transition is at [1022.5(VREF / 1024)]. 1 LSB = VREF / 1024. Definitions Integral Nonlinearity Integral nonlinearity is the deviation of the values on the 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 corrected. The static linearity parameters for the MAX1153/MAX1154 are measured using the end-point-fit method. INL is specified as the maximum deviation in LSBs. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) Differential nonlinearity 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. 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 MAX1153/MAX1154 package. High-frequency noise in the V DD power supply can affect the MAX1153/MAX1154 performance. Bypass the VDD supply with a 0.1µF capacitor from VDD 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. Offset Error The offset error is the difference between the ideal and the actual analog input value at the first transition of the ADC, usually from digital code 0 to code 1 for straight binary output. For the MAX1153/MAX1154, the transition between code 0 and code 1 should occur at an input voltage of 1/2 LSB, or 1.22mV for the MAX1153 and 2mV for the MAX1154. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 27 Stand-Alone, 10-Channel, 10-Bit System Monitors with Internal Temperature Sensor and VDD Monitor MAX1153/MAX1154 Gain Error The gain error is the difference between the ideal and actual value of the analog input difference between the first and last transitions of the ADC output. The first transition is from digital code 0 to code 1, and the last from code (2N-2) to code (2N-1), where N = number of ADC bits for straight binary output code. For the MAX1153/MAX1154, the ideal difference in the input voltage between code transitions 0 to 1 and code transitions 1022 to 1023 is 1022 x LSB. For the MAX1153, this is 2.5V - 2 x LSB = 2.495117, and for the MAX1154, this is 4.096V - 2 x LSB = 4.088. Gain error is a DC specification, usually normalized to the FS ideal analog value and given in percent of FSR or ppm. 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) There are other noise sources besides quantization noise, including thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter, etc. Therefore, SINAD is calculated by taking the ratio of the full-scale signal to the RMS noise, which includes all spectral components minus the fundamental and the first five harmonics. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) 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   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, results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits), and can be calculated with the following equation: SNR = (6.02 x N + 1.76)dB 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. (V22 + V32 + V42 + V52)   V1 where V 1 is the fundamental RMS value, and V 2 through V5 are the RMS values of the 2nd- through 5thorder harmonics, respectively. Power-Supply Rejection Power-supply rejection is the ratio between the change in the ADC full-scale output to the change in powersupply voltage when the power-supply voltage is varied from its nominal value. It is specified in V/V or µV/V. 28 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Stand-Alone, 10-Channel, 10-Bit System Monitors with Internal Temperature Sensor and VDD Monitor Typical Operating Circuit MAX1153/MAX1154 POWER SUPPLY +V -5V +5V +3V µC VDD VREF REFERENCE GLOBAL REGISTERS TEMP SENSOR INT SPI INTERFACE AIN0 AIN1 48V AIN2 AIN3 AIN4 AIN5 AIN6 AIN7 GND CHANNEL REGISTERS MUX ADC DIGITAL BLOCK SPI I/F MAX1153 MAX1154 REMOTE TEMP Chip Information TRANSISTOR COUNT: 89,473 PROCESS: 0.6µm BiCMOS Maxim cannot assume responsibility for use of any circuitry other than circuitry entirely embodied in a Maxim product.
