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
clock. In external clock mode, the MAX1236–MAX1239
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 con-
version begins. Unlike internal clock mode, converted
data is available immediately after the first four empty
high bits. The device continuously converts input chan-
nels dictated by the scan mode until given a not
acknowledge. There is no need to readdress 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.
Use internal clock mode if the SCL clock period
exceeds 60µs.
The MAX1236–MAX1239 must operate in external clock
mode for conversion rates from 40ksps to 94.4ksps.
Below 40ksps, internal clock mode is recommended
due to much smaller power consumption.
SCAN0 and SCAN1 of the configuration byte set the
scan mode configuration. Table 5 shows the scanning
configurations. If AIN_/REF is set to be a reference
input or output (SEL1 = 1, Table 6), AIN_/REF is exclud-
ed from a multichannel scan. The scanned results are
written to memory 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 four empty bits, during which SDA
is left high. Each byte has to be acknowledged by the
master or the memory transmission is terminated. It is
not possible to read the memory independently of con-
version.

Scans up from AIN0 to the input selected by CS3–CS0. When CS3–CS0 exceeds 1011, the scanning
stops at AIN11. When AIN_/REF is set to be a REF in/out, scanning stops at AIN10 or AIN2.
*Converts the input selected by CS3–CS0 eight times (see Tables 3 and 4).
Scans up from AIN2 to the input selected by CS1 and CS0. When CS1 and CS0 are set for AIN0–AIN2,
the only scan that takes place is AIN2 (MAX1236/MAX1237). When AIN/REF is set to be a REF
input/output, scanning stops at AIN2.
Scans up from AIN6 to the input selected by CS3–CS0. When CS3–CS0 is set for AIN0-AIN6, the only
scan that takes place is AIN6 (MAX1238/MAX1239). When AIN/REF is set to be a REF input/output,
scanning stops at the selected channel or AIN10.
*Converts channel selected by CS3–CS0.
Scan Mode
SCANNING CONFIGURATION
The configuration and setup registers (Tables 1 and 2)
default to a single-ended, unipolar, single-channel con-
version on AIN0 using the internal clock with V
reference and AIN_/REF configured as an analog input.
The memory contents are unknown after power-up.
Automatic shutdown occurs between conversions when
the MAX1236–MAX1239 are idle. All analog circuits
participate in automatic shutdown except the internal
reference due to its long wake-up time. When operating
in external clock mode, a STOP, not-acknowledge, or
repeated START condition must be issued to place the
devices in idle mode and benefit from automatic shut-
down. A STOP condition is not necessary in internal
clock mode to benefit from automatic shutdown
because power-down occurs once all conversion
results are written to memory (Figure 10). When using
an external reference or V
circuitry is inactive in shutdown and supply current is
less than 0.5µA. The digital conversion results obtained
in internal clock mode are maintained in memory during
shutdown and are available for access through the serial
interface at any time prior to a STOP or a repeated
START condition.
When idle, the MAX1236–MAX1239 continuously wait
for a START condition followed by their slave address
(see the Slave Address section). Upon reading a valid
address byte, the MAX1236–MAX1239 power up. The
internal reference requires 10ms to wake up, so when
using the internal reference it should be powered up
10ms prior to conversion or powered continuously.
