Figure 12. Reference-Adjust Circuit
To power-up from a software-initiated power-down, a
START condition followed by the correct slave address
must be received (with R/W = 0). The MAX127/MAX128
power-up after receiving the next bit.
For hardware-controlled power-down (FULLPD), pull
SHDN low. When hardware shutdown is asserted, it
becomes effective immediately and any conversion in
progress is aborted.
Choosing Power-Down Modes
The bandgap reference and reference buffer remain
active in STBYPD mode, maintaining the voltage on the
4.7μF capacitor at REF. This is a “DC” state that does not
degrade after standby power-down of any duration.
In FULLPD mode, only the bandgap reference is active.
Connect a 33μF capacitor between REF and AGND to
maintain the reference voltage between conversions and
to reduce transients when the buffer is enabled and dis-
abled. Throughput rates down to 1ksps can be achieved
without allotting extra acquisition time for reference recov-
ery prior to conversion. This allows conversion to begin
immediately after power-down ends. If the discharge of
the REF capacitor during FULLPD exceeds the desired
limits for accuracy (less than a fraction of an LSB), run a
STBYPD power-down cycle prior to starting conversions.
Take into account that the reference buffer recharges the
bypass capacitor at an 80mV/ms slew rate, and add 50μs
for settling time.
Auto-Shutdown
Selecting STBYPD on every conversion automatically
shuts the MAX127/MAX128 down after each conversion
without requiring any start-up time on the next conversion.
