MAX1136–MAX1139
The device memory contains all of the conversion
results when the MAX1136–MAX1139 release SCL. The
converted results are read back in a first-in-first-out
(FIFO) sequence. If AIN_/REF is set to be a reference
input or output (SEL1 = 1, Table 6), AIN_/REF will be
excluded from a multichannel scan. The memory con-
tents can be read continuously. If reading continues
past the result stored in memory, the pointer will wrap
around and point to the first result. Note that only the
current conversion results will be read from memory.
The device must be addressed with a read command
to obtain new conversion results.
The internal clock mode’s clock stretching quiets the
SCL bus signal reducing the system noise during con-
version. Using the internal clock also frees the bus
master (typically a microcontroller) from the burden of
running the conversion clock, allowing it to perform
other tasks that do not need to use the bus.
