Product details
Overview
MAX1026ACEE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 10-bit, 300ksps serial analog-to-digital converter with integrated temperature sensor (±0.7°C accuracy at +25°C), internal 4.096V reference, and 16-entry FIFO. It features 8 single-ended or 4 true-differential input channels, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire interface, and operates from a single +5V supply. It is used in industrial control systems for real-time voltage and temperature monitoring of sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1026ACEE+ datasheet, MAX1026ACEE+ pinout, MAX1026ACEE+ application, or MAX1026ACEE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, confirmed operating parameters, and validated alternative options - all specific to the MAX1026ACEE+ variant in 16-pin QSOP package with -40°C to +85°C rating.
Technical Context
The MAX1026ACEE+ implements a fully differential successive-approximation register (SAR) ADC architecture with on-chip track-and-hold, supporting both unipolar (0 to VREF) and bipolar (±VREF/2) differential modes as well as single-ended GND-referenced inputs. Its internal oscillator enables autonomous conversion timing in clock modes 00, 01, and 10.
It integrates an on-die temperature sensor with 1/8°C resolution and ±1.2°C error over full temperature range, always using the internal reference. The 16-deep FIFO buffers conversion results and temperature data, allowing burst acquisition without serial bus contention - critical for deterministic sampling in embedded control loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit SAR - delivers 1024 discrete output codes with no missing codes guaranteed over temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 300ksps max with external clock - supports high-speed transient capture in system supervision applications. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and ≤0.1% full-scale linearity error for precision measurement. |
| Internal Reference | 4.096V ±1.7% (4.024V–4.168V) - provides stable scaling without external components; TC = ±20ppm/°C. |
| Temperature Sensor | ±0.7°C accuracy at +25°C, ±1.2°C over –40°C to +85°C - enables board-level thermal monitoring without calibration. |
| Supply Current | 2.3mA at 300ksps (internal ref), 0.2–5μA in shutdown - enables low-power operation in battery-backed data loggers. |
| Digital Interface | 10MHz SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire - interoperable with standard microcontroller peripherals; CPOL/CPHA agnostic. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1026ACEE+ is housed in a 16-pin QSOP (5.3mm × 10.2mm) RoHS-compliant package with exposed leadframe. Pin 1 is AIN0; pin 16 is EOC. All pins are CMOS-compatible with 0.8V/2.0V logic thresholds and ±1μA leakage.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–6 (AIN0–AIN5) | Analog Input Channels | Configurable as single-ended or true-differential pairs (e.g., AIN0/AIN1); support unipolar/bipolar ranges per setup register. |
| 7 (REF-/AIN6) | Negative Reference / Analog Input | When REFSEL = 0, serves as AIN6; when REFSEL = 1, becomes negative input for external differential reference. |
| 8 (CNVST/AIN7) | Conversion Start / Analog Input | Active-low pulse initiates conversion in clock modes 00/01; otherwise functions as AIN7 - dual-role pin requires register configuration. |
| 9 (REF+) | Positive Reference Input | Accepts internal 4.096V reference or external reference up to VDD + 50mV; requires 0.1μF bypass to GND. |
| 10 (GND) | Analog/Digital Ground | Single ground plane required; connects internally to exposed pad in TQFN variants (not applicable to QSOP). |
| 11 (VDD) | +5V Power Supply | Operates from 4.75V–5.25V; bypass with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor near pin; powers internal reference and core logic. |
| 12 (SCLK) | Serial Clock Input | Accepts 10MHz max clock (40–60% duty cycle); clocks data on rising edge (DIN) and falling edge (DOUT). |
| 13 (CS) | Chip Select | Active-low enable; places DOUT in high-impedance state when high; initiates serial frame on falling edge. |
| 14 (DIN) | Serial Data Input | Latches 8-bit command bytes (e.g., setup, conversion registers); MSB-first; sampled on SCLK rising edge. |
| 15 (DOUT) | Serial Data Output | Outputs 16-bit result (MSB first, 4 leading zeros + 10-bit code + 2 sub-bits); valid after EOC assertion. |
| 16 (EOC) | End-of-Conversion Flag | Active-low open-drain signal; goes low when conversion completes and data is ready in FIFO; high during acquisition. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 16-entry FIFO | Buffers up to 16 ADC results + 1 temperature reading - eliminates serial bus blocking during multi-channel scans. |
| True differential track-and-hold | Supports simultaneous sampling of IN+/IN− pairs (e.g., AIN0/AIN1) with common-mode noise rejection - essential for noisy industrial environments. |
| Internal temperature sensor | Delivers calibrated Celsius readings at 1/8°C resolution using internal reference - removes need for external thermal ICs in compact designs. |
| Scan mode & internal averaging | Enables automatic sequential channel acquisition (scan mode 00/01) and configurable oversampling (up to 8x) - improves effective resolution without firmware overhead. |
| AutoShutdown™ | Reduces supply current to ≤5μA after conversion completion - extends battery life in portable data-acquisition systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution, no internal reference or temperature sensor, 200ksps max, 8-pin SOIC | Lacks FIFO, differential capability, and thermal sensing - suitable only for basic voltage monitoring where resolution <10-bit is acceptable. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs resolution, feature, and integration requirements. |
| AD7490BRUZ | 12-bit resolution, 16-channel, no integrated temp sensor, 1MSPS, internal reference ±0.5%, 24-pin TSSOP | Higher resolution and speed but no on-die temperature sensing - requires external thermal IC for thermal monitoring tasks. | Choose when 12-bit precision is mandatory and thermal sensing can be implemented separately. |
Compared with ADS7822U and AD7490BRUZ, the MAX1026ACEE+ uniquely combines 10-bit accuracy, integrated temperature sensing, FIFO buffering, and internal reference in a 16-pin QSOP - delivering optimal integration for space-constrained, thermally aware industrial data acquisition.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the MAX1026ACEE+?
The MAX1026ACEE+ is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, matching the "E" grade suffix in its ordering code. This extended industrial temperature range is validated across all electrical specifications including INL, DNL, reference stability, and temperature sensor accuracy - ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments like factory automation and outdoor instrumentation.
Does the MAX1026ACEE+ require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX1026ACEE+ includes a factory-trimmed internal 4.096V reference with ±20ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 200μVRMS noise. External reference is optional and only needed when higher initial accuracy or custom voltage scaling is required; the device automatically selects internal reference for temperature measurements regardless of REFSEL setting.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1026ACEE+ support?
The MAX1026ACEE+ supports 8 single-ended analog inputs (AIN0–AIN7) or 4 true-differential pairs (e.g., AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3). Channel configuration is controlled via the setup register; pins AIN6 and AIN7 double as REF− and CNVST respectively, requiring explicit register programming to assign their function.
Can the MAX1026ACEE+ perform simultaneous sampling of multiple channels?
No, the MAX1026ACEE+ uses a single SAR ADC core with multiplexed inputs and does not support true simultaneous sampling. However, its fast 3.5μs acquisition time and internal FIFO enable rapid sequential sampling (e.g., 8 channels in <30μs), which approximates simultaneity for low-bandwidth signals like temperature and DC sensor outputs.
What is the purpose of the EOC pin on the MAX1026ACEE+?
The EOC (End of Conversion) pin on the MAX1026ACEE+ is an active-low, open-drain status signal that asserts low when conversion data is valid and ready in the FIFO. It allows interrupt-driven data retrieval without polling, reducing MCU overhead - especially valuable in clock modes 00 and 01 where conversions are triggered externally via CNVST.
