The evaluation software’s main window (Figure 1) con-
trols the setup byte and config byte. It also displays
the voltage and output code of the input signal(s),
depending on the configuration of the MAX1036.
The Read ADC button manually reads the MAX1036
while using the current setup and configuration byte set-
tings. When the AutoRead checkbox is checked, the
software automatically reads the MAX1036 approximately
every 300ms. AutoRead allows users to modify the setup
and configuration bytes on-the-fly without having to man-
ually press the Read ADC button each time.
The Setup Byte always begins with a start-bit value of
1. The SEL2, SEL1, and SEL0 bits control the state of
the reference. The CLK bit selects either internal clock
or external clock mode. The UNI/BIP bit selects either
unipolar or bipolar mode. Setting RST to zero resets the
configuration register. The setup register remains
unchanged. The X Don’t Care bit can be ignored.
Refer to the MAX1036 data sheet for more informa-
tion on the SEL2, SEL1, and SEL0 bits within the
Setup Byte.
The Config Byte always begins with a start-bit value of
zero. The SCAN1 and SCAN0 bits select the scanning
mode. The CS1 and CS0 bits select one of the four
analog input channels. The CS2 and CS3 bits are
ignored. The SE/DIFF bit selects either single-ended or
differential mode. Refer to the MAX1036 data sheet for
more information on the SCAN1, SCAN0, CS3, CS2,
CS1, and CS0 bits within the Config Byte.
The evaluation software assumes a 4.096V reference
voltage, unless otherwise specified. To override the
internal 4.096V reference value, ensure bit SEL2 equals
