DESCRIPTION
The MAS6501 is a 16 bit Analog-to-Digital
Converter (ADC), which employs a delta-sigma (∆Σ)
conversion technique. With the linear input signal
range of 282 mV
PP
its resolution is 14 bits.
The MAS6501 is designed especially to
meet the requirement for low power consumption,
thus making it an ideal choice for battery powered
systems. The MAS6501 is equipped with a standby
function, i.e. the ADC is in power down between
each conversion. By utilizing this and overall low
power consumption, current consumption values of
1.6 µA (one pressure conversion in a second with
full 14-bit accuracy) or less can be achieved.
The MAS6501 has an on-chip second order
decimator filter to process the output of the second
order
∆Σ
-modulator. The ADC also has two
selectable conversion ranges with two optional
offset levels.

A bi-directional 2-wire I C bus is used for
configuring
conversion
parameters,
starting
conversion and reading out the A/D conversion
result.
MAS6501 has one input channel suitable for
piezo resistive pressure sensor. In addition to
pressure measurement configuration the device can
be configured to temperature measurement.

Note:
Stresses beyond the values listed may cause a permanent damage to the device. The device may not
operate under these conditions, but it will not be destroyed.
Note:
This is a CMOS device and therefore it should be handled carefully to avoid any damage by static voltages
(ESD).
Note:
In latchup testing the supply voltages are connected normally to the tested device. Then pulsed test current is fed
to each input separately and device current consumption is observed. If the device current consumption increases
suddenly due to test current pulses and the abnormally high current consumption continues after test current pulses are
cut off then the device has gone to latch up. Current pulse is turned on for 10 ms and off for 20 ms.

MAS6501 has one control register for configuring
the measurement setup. See table 1 for control
register bit definitions. Control register values are
set via I2C bus.
First two OSRS bits of the control register define
four selectable over sampling ratios. The higher
OSR the better ADC accuracy but the longer
conversion time.
The SCO bit controls the A/D conversion. When
SCO = 0, no A/D conversion takes place. When
SCO = 1, the A/D converter turns on and the analog
data is being converted. Then MCLK must be
clocked at least until EOC pin goes high indicating
that conversion has been accomplished.
PTS bit selects between pressure and temperature
measurement. In temperature measurement the
sensor is connected in bridge configuration together
with four integrated resistors (see figure 3 on page 8
and resistors R1, R2, R3 and R4).
ISCR selects between two A/D conversion ranges.
The XENMCLKDIV bit controls the internal clock
frequency of MAS6501, fCLK(INT). When the bit is
low, the MCLK division is enabled and the internal
clock frequency fCLK(INT) = fMCLK/2, where
fMCLK is the master clock frequency. When the
XENMCLKDIV bit is high, the MCLK division is
disabled and fCLK(INT) = fMCLK.
In the XENMCLKDIV = 1 mode the duty cycle
should be as close to 50 % as possible. In this
mode, the conversion time is made half (see page 3
conversion time values with XENMCLKDIV = 1)
compared to clock speed division mode
XENMCLKDIV = 0 whereas the resolution remains
unchanged. In XENMCLKDIV = 0 mode the
conversion time and also current consumption are
doubled but then the external master clock signal
MCLK does not need to have close to 50% duty
cycle.
XOSENABLE can be used to enable input signal
range offset option. At 1 value no offset is applied
but at 0 value an offset value which is determined
with OSSELECT bit is used.
OSSELECT selects between two offset values. No
offset
is
applied
if
offset
is
disabled
(XOSENABLE=1).
