3.0 PIN DESCRIPTION
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 3-1.
3.1 Master Reset (RESET)
This pin is active-low and places the entire chip in a
Reset state when active.
When RESET
=D
GND
, all registers are reset to their
default value, no communication can take place and no
clock is distributed inside the part except in the input
structure, if MCLK is applied (if idle, no clock is
distributed). This state is equivalent to a POR state.
Since the default state of the ADCs is on, the analog
power consumption when RESET
=D
GND
is
equivalent to R
ESET =V
DD
. Only the digital power
consumption is largely reduced because this current
consumption is essentially dynamic and is reduced
drastically when there is no clock running.
All the analog biases are enabled during a Reset so
that the part is fully operational just after a RESET
rising edge, if the MCLK is applied during the rising
edge. If not applied, there is a small time after RESET
when the conversion may not be accurate,
corresponding to the startup of the charge pump of the
input structure.
This input is Schmitt-triggered.
3.2 Digital V
DD
(DV
DD
)
DV
DD
is the power supply pin for the digital circuitry
within the MCP3911. For specified operation, this pin
requires appropriate bypass capacitors and should be
maintained between 2.7V and 3.6V.
3.3 Analog V
DD
(AV
DD
)
AV
DD
is the power supply pin for the analog circuitry
within the MCP3911. For specified operation, this pin
requires appropriate bypass capacitors and should be
maintained between 2.7V and 3.6V.
