The MAX5895 can be configured to latch the input
data on either the rising edge or falling edge of the
DATACLK signal (bit 4, address 02h). Figure 4 shows
the timing requirements between the DATACLK signal
and the input data bus with latching on the rising edge.
Interpolating Filter
The MAX5895 features three cascaded FIR half-band
filters. The interpolating filters are enabled or disabled
in combinations to support 1x (no interpolation), 2x, 4x,
or 8x interpolation. Bits 7 and 6 of register 01h set the
interpolation rate (see Table 2). The last interpolation fil-
