• Manufacturer Part Number: MAX11645
• Description: 2-Wire Serial 12-Bit ADCs
• Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated Products

When configured for external clock mode (CLK = 1),
the MAX11644/MAX11645 use the SCL as the conver-
sion clock. In external clock mode, the MAX11644/
MAX11645 begin tracking the analog input on the ninth
rising clock edge of a valid slave address byte. Two
SCL clock cycles later, the analog signal is acquired
and the conversion begins. Unlike the internal clock
mode, converted data is available immediately after the
first four empty high bits. The device continuously con-
verts input channels dictated by the scan mode until
given a not-acknowledge. There is no need to read-
dress the device with a read command to obtain new
conversion results (see Figure 11).
The conversion must complete in 1ms, or droop on the
track-and-hold capacitor degrades conversion results.

Table 5. Scanning Configuration
* When operating in external clock mode, there is no difference between SCAN[1:0] = 01 and SCAN[1:0] = 11, and converting occurs
16
perpetually until not-acknowledge occurs.

SCANNING CONFIGURATION
Use internal clock mode if the SCL clock period
exceeds 60µs.
The MAX11644/MAX11645 must operate in external
clock mode for conversion rates from 40ksps to
94.4ksps. Below 40ksps, internal clock mode is recom-
mended due to much smaller power consumption.
SCAN0 and SCAN1 of the configuration byte set the
scan mode configuration. Table 5 shows the scanning
configurations. The scanned results are written to memo-
ry in the same order as the conversion. Read the results
from memory in the order they were converted. Each
result needs a 2-byte transmission; the first byte begins
with 4 empty bits, during which SDA is left high. Each
byte has to be acknowledged by the master or the mem-
ory transmission is terminated. It is not possible to read
the memory independently of conversion.
