The fastest the MAX1245 can run is 15 clocks per conver-
sion with CS held low between conversions. Figure 11a
shows the serial-interface timing necessary to perform a
conversion every 15 SCLK cycles in external clock mode.
If CS is low and SCLK is continuous, guarantee a start bit
by first clocking in 16 zeros.
Most microcontrollers require that conversions occur in
multiples of eight SCLK clocks; 16 clocks per conversion
will typically be the fastest that a microcontroller can
drive the MAX1245. Figure 11b shows the serial-inter-
face timing necessary to perform a conversion every 16
SCLK cycles in external clock mode.
__________ Applications Information
When power is first applied, and if SHDN is not pulled
low, internal power-on reset circuitry activates the
MAX1245 in internal clock mode, ready to convert with
SSTRB = high. After the power supplies have stabi-
lized, the internal reset time is 10µs, and no conver-
sions should be performed during this phase. SSTRB is
high on power-up and, if CS is low, the first logical 1 on

DIN will be interpreted as a start bit. Until a conversion
takes place, DOUT shifts out zeros.
The MAX1245’s automatic power-down mode can save
considerable power when operating at speeds below
the maximum sampling rate. Figure 13 shows the aver-
age supply current as a function of the sampling rate.
You can save power by placing the converter in a low-
current shutdown state between conversions.
Select power-down via bits 1 and 0 of the DIN control
byte with SHDN high (Tables 1 and 4). Pull SHDN low at
any time to shut down the converter completely. SHDN
overrides bits 1 and 0 of the control byte (Table 5).
Power-down mode turns off all chip functions that draw
quiescent current, reducing I
Figures 12a and 12b illustrate the various power-down
sequences in both external and internal clock modes.
Software power-down is activated using bits PD1 and PD0
of the control byte. As shown in Table 4, PD1 and PD0
