Digital Output Data (D0–D11), Output Format (G/T)
The MAX1211 provides a 12-bit, parallel, tri-state out-
put bus. D0–D11 and DOR update on the falling edge
of DAV and are valid on the rising edge of DAV.
The MAX1211 output data format is either Gray code or
two’s complement, depending on the logic input G/T.
With G/T high, the output data format is Gray code.
With G/T low, the output data format is two’s comple-
ment. See Figure 8 for a binary-to-Gray and Gray-to-
binary code-conversion example.
The following equations, Table 2, Figure 6, and Figure 8
define the relationship between the digital output and
the analog input:

The digital outputs D0–D11 are high impedance when
the MAX1211 is in power-down (PD = high). D0–D11
go high impedance within 10ns of the rising edge of PD
and become active within 10ns of PD’s falling edge.
Keep the capacitive load on the MAX1211 digital out-
puts D0–D11 as low as possible (<15pF) to avoid large
digital currents feeding back into the analog portion of
the MAX1211 and degrading its dynamic performance.
The addition of external digital buffers on the digital
outputs isolate the MAX1211 from heavy capacitive
loads. To improve the dynamic performance of the
MAX1211, add 220Ω resistors in series with the digital
outputs close to the MAX1211. Refer to the MAX1211
EV kit schematic for an example of the digital outputs
driving a digital buffer through 220Ω series resistors.
Power-Down Input (PD)
The MAX1211 has two power modes that are controlled
with power-down digital input (PD). With PD low, the
MAX1211 is in its normal operating mode. With PD
high, the MAX1211 is in power-down mode.
The power-down mode allows the MAX1211 to efficient-
ly use power by transitioning to a low-power state when
conversions are not required. Additionally, the
MAX1211 parallel output bus goes high impedance in

to be accessed.
In power-down mode, all internal circuits are off, the
analog supply current reduces to 4mA, and the digital
supply current reduces to 19µA. The following list
