conversion. The sampling interval occurs at the end of
the acquisition interval. The ACQMOD (acquisition
mode) bit in the input control byte (Table 1) offers two
options for acquiring the signal: an internal and an
external acquisition. The conversion period lasts for 13
clock cycles in either the internal or external clock or
acquisition mode. Writing a new control byte during a
conversion cycle aborts the conversion and starts a
new acquisition interval.
Select internal acquisition by writing the control byte
with the ACQMOD bit cleared (ACQMOD = 0). This
causes the write pulse to initiate an acquisition interval
whose duration is internally timed. Conversion starts
when this acquisition interval ends (three external
cycles or approximately 1µs in internal clock mode)
(Figure 4). Note that, when the internal acquisition is
combined with the internal clock, the aperture jitter can
be as high as 200ps. Internal clock users wishing to
achieve the 50ps jitter specification should always use
external acquisition mode.

ACQMOD = 1: External Acquisition Mode
SGL/DIF = 0: Pseudo-Differential Analog Input Mode
SGL/DIF = 1: Single-Ended Analog Input Mode
In single-ended mode, input signals are referred to COM. In pseudo-differential mode, the voltage
difference between two channels is measured (see Tables 2, 3).
UNI/BIP = 0: Bipolar Mode
UNI/BIP = 1: Unipolar Mode
In unipolar mode, an analog input signal from 0 to V
nal can range from -V
Address bits A2, A1, A0 select which of the 8/4 (MAX1291/MAX1293) channels are to be converted
(see Tables 3, 4).

Use external acquisition mode for precise control of the
sampling aperture and/or dependent control of acquisi-
tion and conversion times. The user controls acquisition
and start-of-conversion with two separate write pulses.
The first pulse, written with ACQMOD = 1, starts an
acquisition interval of indeterminate length. The second
write pulse, written with ACQMOD = 0, terminates
acquisition and starts conversion on WR’s rising edge
(Figure 5).
The address bits for the input multiplexer must have the
same values on the first and second write pulse.
Power-down mode bits (PD0, PD1) can assume new
values on the second write pulse (see the Power-Down
Modes section). Changing other bits in the control byte
corrupts the conversion.
A standard interrupt signal INT is provided to allow the
MAX1291/MAX1293 to flag the microprocessor when
the conversion has ended and a valid result is avail-
able. INT goes low when the conversion is complete
and the output data is ready (Figures 4 and 5). It
returns high on the first read cycle or if a new control
byte is written.
