externally isolates it from heavy capacitive loads. Refer
to the MAX12557 EV kit schematic for recommendations
of how to drive the DAV signal through an external buffer.
Data Out-of-Range Indicator
The DORA and DORB digital outputs indicate when the
analog input voltage is out of range. When DOR_ is high,
the analog input is out of range. When DOR_ is low, the
analog input is within range. The valid differential input
range is from (VREF_P - VREF_N) x 2/3 to (VREF_N -
VREF_P) x 2/3. Signals outside of this valid differential
range cause DOR_ to assert high as shown in Table 1.
DOR is synchronized with DAV and transitions along
with the output data D13–D0. There is an 8 clock-cycle
latency in the DOR function as is with the output data
(Figure 5). DOR_ is high impedance when the
MAX12557 is in power-down (PD = high). DOR_ enters
a high-impedance state within 10ns after the rising edge
of PD and becomes active 10ns after PD’s falling edge.
Digital Output Data and Output Format Selection
The MAX12557 provides two 14-bit, parallel, tri-state
output buses. D0A/B–D13A/B and DORA/B update on
the falling edge of DAV and are valid on the rising edge
of DAV.
The MAX12557 output data format is either Gray code
or two’s complement depending on the logic input G/T.
With G/Thigh, the output data format is Gray code.
With G/Tlow, the output data format is set to two’s com-
plement. See Figure 8 for a binary-to-Gray and Gray-to-
binary code conversion example.
The following equations, Table 3, Figure 6, and Figure 7
define the relationship between the digital output and
the analog input.
Gray Code (G/T= 1):
VIN_P - VIN_N = 2/3 x (VREF_P - VREF_N) x 2 x
(CODE10 - 8192) / 16,384
Two’s Complement (G/T= 0):
VIN_P - VIN_N = 2/3 x (VREF_P - VREF_N) x 2 x
CODE10 / 16,384
where CODE10 is the decimal equivalent of the digital
output code as shown in Table 3.
