12-Bit 300ksps ADCs with FIFO,
Temp Sensor, Internal Reference
The MAX1227/MAX1229/MAX1231 communicate
between the internal registers and the external circuitry
through the SPI-/QSPI-compatible serial interface.
Table 1 details the registers and the bit names. Tables
2–7 show the various functions within the conversion
register, setup register, averaging register, reset regis-
ter, unipolar register, and bipolar register.
The conversion time for each scan is based on a num-
ber of different factors: conversion time per sample,
samples per result, results per scan, if a temperature
measurement is requested, and if the external refer-
ence is in use.
Use the following formula to calculate the total conver-
sion time for an internally timed conversion in clock
modes 00 and 10 (see the Electrical Characteristics
section as applicable):

In clock mode 01, the total conversion time depends on
how long CNVST is held low or high, including any time
required to turn on the internal reference. Conversion
time in externally clocked mode (CKSEL1, CKSEL0 = 11)
depends on the SCLK period and how long CS is held
high between each set of eight SCLK cycles. In clock
mode 01, the total conversion time does not include the
time required to turn on the internal reference.
Select active analog input channels, scan modes, and
a single temperature measurement per scan by writing
to the conversion register. Table 2 details channel
selection, the four scan modes, and how to request a
temperature measurement. Request a scan by writing
to the conversion register when in clock mode 10 or 11,
or by applying a low pulse to the CNVST pin when in
clock mode 00 or 01.
A conversion is not performed if it is requested on a
channel that has been configured as CNVST or REF-.
Do not request conversions on channels 8–15 on the
MAX1227 and channels 12–15 on the MAX1229. Set
CHSEL3:CHSELO to the lower channel’s binary value. If
the last two channels are configured as a differential
pair and one of them has been reconfigured as CNVST
or REF-, the pair is ignored.
Select scan mode 00 or 01 to return one result per sin-
gle-ended channel and one result per differential pair
within the requested range, plus one temperature result if
selected. Select scan mode 10 to scan a single input
channel numerous times, depending on NSCAN1 and
NSCAN0 in the averaging register (Table 6). Select scan
mode 11 to return only one result from a single channel.
Write a byte to the setup register to configure the clock,
reference, and power-down modes. Table 3 details the
