UPIOs, RTC, Voltage Monitors, and Temp Sensor

Maxim Integrated
Digital Filtering
The MAX11359A contains an on-chip digital lowpass fil-
ter that processes the data stream from the modulator
using a SINC
4
(sinx/x)
4
response. The SINC
4
filter has a
settling time of four output data periods (4 x 200ms).
The MAX11359A has 25% overrange capability built into
the modulator and digital filter:
Figure 4 shows the filter frequency response. The
SINC
4
characteristic -3dB cutoff frequency is 0.228
times the first notch frequency.
The output data rate for the digital filter corresponds
with the positioning of the first notch of the filter’s fre-
quency response. The notches of the SINC
4
filter are
repeated at multiples of the first notch frequency. The
SINC
4
filter provides an attenuation of better than
100dB at these notches. For example, 50Hz is equal to
five times the first notch frequency and 60Hz is equal to
six times the first notch frequency.
Force-Sense DAC
The MAX11359A incorporates a 10-bit force-sensing
DAC. The DACs reference voltage sets the full-scale
range. Program the DACA_OP register using the serial
interface to set the output voltages of the DAC at OUTA.
Connecting resistors in a voltage-divider configuration
between OUTA, FBA, and GND sets a different closed-
loop gain for the output amplifier (see the
Applications
Information
section).
The DAC output amplifier typically settles to ±0.5 LSB
from a full-scale transition within 50µs (unity gain and
loaded with 10kΩ in parallel with 200pF). Loads of less
than 1kΩ may degrade performance. See the
Typical
Operating Characteristics
for the source-and-sink
capability of the DAC output.
The MAX11359A features a software-programmable
shutdown mode for the DAC. Power down DACA by
clearing the DAE bits (see the
DACA_OP Register
sec-
tion). DAC output OUTA goes high impedance when
powered down. The DAC is normally powered down at
power-on reset.
Charge Pump
The charge pump provides > 3V at CPOUT with a maxi-
mum 10mA load. Enable the charge pump through the
PS_VMONS register. The charge pump is powered
from DVDD. See Figures 5 and 6 for block diagrams of
the charge pump and linear regulator. The charge
pump is disabled at power-on reset.
An internal clock drives the charge-pump clock and
ADC clock. The charge pump delivers a maximum
10mA of current to external devices. The droop and the
ripple depend on the clock frequency (f
CLK
=
32.768kHz/2), switch resistances (R
SWITCH
= 5Ω), and
the external capacitors (10µF) along with their respec-
tive ESRs, as shown below.
