Serial Interfaces
SPI and MICROWIRE Interfaces
When using the SPI (Figure 20a) or MICROWIRE (Figure
20b) interfaces, set CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0. Drive CS
low to power on the MAX1167/MAX1168 before starting a
conversion (Figure 20c). Three consecutive 8-bit-wide
readings are necessary to obtain the entire 16-bit result
from the ADC. DOUT data transitions on the serial clock’s
falling edge. The first 8-bit-wide data stream contains all
leading zeros. The 2nd 8-bit-wide data stream contains
the MSB through D6. The 3rd 8-bit-wide data stream con-
tains D5 through D0 followed by S1 and S0.
QSPI Interface
Using the high-speed QSPI interface with CPOL = 0 and
CPHA = 0, the MAX1167/MAX1168 support a maximum
f
SCLK
of 4.8MHz. Figure 21a shows the MAX1167/
MAX1168 connected to a QSPI master, and Figure 21b
shows the associated interface timing.
PIC16 with SSP Module and PIC17
Interface
The MAX1167/MAX1168 are compatible with a
PIC16/PIC17 controller (µC), using the synchronous seri-
al-port (SSP) module.
To establish SPI communication, connect the controller
as shown in Figure 22a and configure the PIC16/PIC17
as system master by initializing its synchronous serial-
port control register (SSPCON) and synchronous serial-
port status register (SSPSTAT) to the bit patterns shown
in Tables 7 and 8.
In SPI mode, the PIC16/PIC17 µCs allow 8 bits of data to
be synchronously transmitted and received simultane-
ously. Three consecutive 8-bit-wide readings (Figure
22b) are necessary to obtain the entire 16-bit result from
the ADC. DOUT data transitions on the serial clock’s
falling edge and is clocked into the µC on SCLK’s rising
edge. The first 8-bit-wide data stream contains all zeros.
The 2nd 8-bit-wide data stream contains the MSB
through D6. The 3rd 8-bit-wide data stream contains bits
D5 through D0 followed by S1 and S0.
