At power-on or after a RESET command, the channel-
enable register resets to FF hex, enabling all channels:
the internal temperature sensor, the V
AIN0–AIN7.
At power-on or after a RESET command, the input con-
figuration register resets to 00 hex, configuring
AIN0–AIN7 for single-ended voltage measurement.
At power-on or after a RESET command, the alarm reg-
ister is reset to 000000 hex, indicating that no alarm
condition exists.
At power-on or after a RESET command, each chan-
nel’s current data register is reset to 800 hex.
At power-on or after a RESET command, each chan-
nel's upper threshold register is reset to FFF hex. This
state effectively disables the upper threshold.
At power-on or after a RESET command, each chan-
nel's lower threshold register is reset to 000 hex. This
state effectively disables the lower threshold.
At power-on or after a RESET command, each chan-
nel'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 dis-
ables averaging.
The MAX1253/MAX1254 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 com-
plete, 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 refer-
ence mode 00 prior to each temperature measurement,
40µs to power up in reference mode 01 after each sam-

The terms in the above equation are determined as
shown above by the number of enabled channels, the
input channel configuration (voltage vs. temperature),
the sample wait time, and the reference mode. The fol-
lowing calculation shows a numeric example:
• 40µs is the time required for the reference to power-
• 8 x 10.6µs is the time required for seven channels
• 2 x 46µs is the time required for temperature mea-
• 395µs is the sample wait time, set by bits B5, B6, B7
The MAX1253/MAX1254 use an internal clock for all
conversions. The serial interface clock does not affect
conversion time.
Performing eight single-ended remote channels tem-
perature measurements, an internal temperature mea-
surement, and an internal V
sample wait time of zero results in an average conver-
sion rate of 24ksps or 2.4ksps per channel.
Performing eight single-ended voltage measurements, an
internal temperature measurement, and an internal V
measurement with sample wait time of zero results in an
average conversion rate of 70ksps or 7ksps per channel.
