minimize sampling errors with higher source imped-
ances, connect a 100pF capacitor from the analog
input to GND. This input capacitor forms an RC filter
with the source impedance limiting the analog input
bandwidth. For larger source impedances, use a buffer
amplifier to maintain analog input signal integrity.
When operating in internal clock mode, the T/H circuitry
enters its tracking mode on the ninth falling clock edge
of the address byte (see the
Slave Address section).
The T/H circuitry enters hold mode two internal clock
cycles later. A conversion or a series of conversions is
then internally clocked (eight clock cycles per conver-
sion) and the MAX11600–MAX11605 hold SCL low.
When operating in external clock mode, the T/H circuit-
ry enters track mode on the seventh falling edge of a
valid slave address byte. Hold mode is then entered on
the falling edge of the eighth clock cycle. The conver-
sion is performed during the next eight clock cycles.
The time required for the T/H circuitry to acquire an
input signal is a function of input capacitance. If the
analog input source impedance is high, the acquisition
time lengthens and more time must be allowed
between conversions. The acquisition time (tACQ) is the
minimum time needed for the signal to be acquired. It is
calculated by:
tACQ ≥ 6.25 (RSOURCE + RIN) CIN
where RSOURCE is the analog input source impedance,
RIN = 2.5k, and CIN = 18pF. tACQ is 1/fSCL for external
clock mode. For internal clock mode, the acquisition
time is two internal clock cycles. To select RSOURCE,
allow 625ns for tACQ in internal clock mode to account
for clock frequency variations.
