Product details
Overview
MAX1061AEEI from Maxim Integrated is a 10-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with integrated +2.5V reference, byte-wide parallel (8+2) interface, and software-configurable 8-channel single-ended or 4-channel pseudo-differential input multiplexer. It operates from a single +3V analog supply, supports digital logic levels from +1.8V to +3.6V via VLOGIC, and delivers 250ksps sampling rate with 5.7mW power consumption at full speed. It is used in portable patient monitoring systems requiring low-power, high-accuracy signal digitization of biopotential sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1061AEEI datasheet, MAX1061AEEI pinout, MAX1061AEEI application, or MAX1061AEEI equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented differences, and supply support details specific to the -40°C to +85°C industrial-grade variant in 28-pin QSOP.
Technical Context
The MAX1061AEEI implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with an internal track/hold stage offering 3MHz full-power bandwidth and 250kHz full-linear bandwidth. Its conversion cycle requires exactly 13 clock cycles, supporting both internal (3.6µs fixed) and external (4.8MHz max) clock modes, with aperture jitter as low as 50ps in external acquisition mode.
It features dual power-down modes-standby (10µA) and full shutdown (2µA)-triggered via software control bits PD0/PD1 in the 8-bit configuration byte. Input configuration is fully programmable: unipolar/bipolar range selection, single-ended/pseudo-differential topology, and channel address (CH0–CH7) are all set by the same control byte written to the parallel interface.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit SAR - delivers 1024 discrete output codes with monotonic transfer function and no missing codes over temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 250ksps maximum - enables real-time capture of ECG waveforms up to 125kHz Nyquist frequency using undersampling techniques. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.5 LSB / ±1 LSB - ensures <0.05% integral linearity error across full scale, critical for precision medical sensor calibration. |
| Reference | +2.5V internal bandgap - eliminates need for external reference IC; TCREF = ±2ppm/°C supports stable accuracy over -40°C to +85°C. |
| Power @ 250ksps | 1.9mA @ VDD = VLOGIC = +3V - translates to 5.7mW total dissipation, enabling >100-hour battery life in AA-powered data loggers. |
| Analog Inputs | 8 single-ended or 4 pseudo-differential channels - supports simultaneous multi-lead biosignal acquisition without external MUX hardware. |
| Digital Interface | Byte-wide parallel (D0–D7) + HBEN-controlled D8/D9 - allows direct connection to 8-bit microcontrollers with optional high-byte read for full 10-bit resolution. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1061AEEI is housed in a 28-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and lead-free. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official datasheet Rev 1 (19-2724).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HBEN | High-Byte Enable | Selects between 8-bit LSB read (HBEN=0) or 2-bit MSB read (HBEN=1); enables flexible bus-width matching on 8-bit µPs. |
| D0/D8, D1/D9 | Multiplexed Data I/O | Tri-state outputs carrying lower 8 bits (D0–D7) or upper 2 bits (D8–D9) depending on HBEN state; eliminates need for 10-bit wide data bus. |
| INT | Interrupt Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating conversion completion; synchronizes µP read timing without polling overhead. |
| WR, RD, CS | Control Inputs | Standard 8080-style parallel interface signals; WR latches config byte or triggers conversion, RD reads result, CS enables interface. |
| CH0–CH7 | Analog Input Channels | Eight single-ended inputs referenced to COM; internally switched to SAR core based on A2:A0 address bits in control byte. |
| REF, REFADJ | Reference Control | REF outputs +2.5V internal reference (bypassed with 4.7µF); REFADJ disables internal ref when tied to VDD for external reference use. |
| VLOGIC | Digital Supply | Independent +1.8V to +3.6V supply for digital I/O - allows interfacing with low-voltage µPs while maintaining full analog performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input topology | Single-ended (8 ch) or pseudo-differential (4 ch) mode selected dynamically via SGL/DIF bit - enables one hardware design to serve multiple sensor types (e.g., thermistor vs. bridge transducer). |
| Two-tier power-down control | Standby (10µA) and full shutdown (2µA) modes activated by PD0/PD1 bits - reduces average current in duty-cycled data-acquisition systems by >99% between samples. |
| Internal track/hold with 3MHz BW | Eliminates need for external THS circuitry; supports accurate digitization of fast transients (e.g., pulse oximetry LED drive edges) without aliasing. |
| Unipolar/bipolar range selection | Configured via UNI/BIP bit - accommodates both 0–2.5V sensor outputs and ±1.25V differential signals (e.g., EEG amplifiers) without external level-shifting. |
| Aperture jitter ≤50ps | Achieved in external acquisition mode - ensures <0.003% SNR degradation at 100kHz input, preserving dynamic range for high-fidelity audio or vibration sensing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution, SPI interface, no internal reference - requires external +2.5V ref and level-shifting for 1.8V logic. | Better suited for cost-sensitive, lower-accuracy industrial controls where 8-bit resolution suffices. | Choose ADS7822U only if system already uses SPI peripherals and 8-bit accuracy meets spec; MAX1061AEEI provides 2-bit resolution advantage and parallel ease-of-use. |
| AD7923BRUZ | 12-bit resolution, 1MSPS, SPI interface, internal reference - higher speed and resolution but 3.3V-only digital interface and no VLOGIC flexibility. | Ideal for high-performance data acquisition where 12-bit fidelity and faster sampling outweigh parallel interface convenience. | Choose AD7923BRUZ when >10-bit ENOB and >250ksps are mandatory; MAX1061AEEI remains optimal for space-constrained, low-power designs needing 8-channel MUX and dual-supply logic compatibility. |
Compared with ADS7822U and AD7923BRUZ, the MAX1061AEEI uniquely balances 10-bit precision, 8-channel integration, ultra-low standby current, and programmable logic-level I/O - making it the only option that satisfies simultaneous requirements for medical-grade linearity, battery longevity, and microcontroller bus compatibility in compact portable instruments.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX1061AEEI?
The MAX1061AEEI is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation, as indicated by the "AEEI" suffix (E-grade industrial temperature range). This specification is guaranteed per Maxim's datasheet Rev 1, with all electrical parameters-including INL, DNL, and reference stability-validated across this full range. The device maintains ±0.5 LSB INL and ±2ppm/°C reference drift within these limits, making it suitable for outdoor industrial sensors and automotive cabin electronics.
Does MAX1061AEEI require an external clock to operate?
No, MAX1061AEEI does not require an external clock. It includes an internal 3MHz clock generator selectable via control bits D7/D6. When configured for internal clock mode (D7=1, D6=0), the device performs conversions autonomously after a WR pulse, eliminating timing dependencies on the host µP. External clock mode (D7=D6=1) is optional and supports frequencies from 100kHz to 4.8MHz for applications requiring precise sampling phase control.
How many analog input channels does MAX1061AEEI support in single-ended mode?
The MAX1061AEEI supports eight analog input channels (CH0–CH7) in single-ended mode, as confirmed in the "Features" section and Pin Configurations diagram of the official datasheet. This is distinct from the MAX1063 variant (4-channel), and the "AEEI" suffix denotes the MAX1061 die in 28-pin QSOP. Channel selection is performed via A2:A0 bits in the 8-bit control byte, allowing software-directed sequential or random access to any of the eight inputs.
Can MAX1061AEEI interface directly with a +1.8V microcontroller?
Yes, MAX1061AEEI can interface directly with a +1.8V microcontroller via its dedicated VLOGIC pin. When VLOGIC is supplied at +1.8V, all digital I/O pins (D0–D9, INT, RD, WR, CS, HBEN) operate at CMOS-compatible thresholds (VIH = 0.5V, VIL = 0.5V) and drive strengths sufficient for 1.8V logic families. This eliminates level-shifters in ultra-low-power designs, and the feature is explicitly validated in the "Digital Inputs and Outputs" section of the datasheet under VLOGIC = 1.8V conditions.
What is the purpose of the HBEN pin on MAX1061AEEI?
The HBEN (High Byte Enable) pin on MAX1061AEEI controls multiplexing of the 10-bit conversion result onto the 8-bit data bus: when HBEN = 0, D0–D7 carry the 8 LSBs; when HBEN = 1, D0/D8 and D1/D9 carry the 2 MSBs. This allows full 10-bit resolution to be read in two 8-bit cycles on standard 8-bit microcontrollers without requiring a wider bus or external latch. The function is defined in the "Pin Description" table and timing diagrams Figures 4–5 of the MAX1061AEEI datasheet.
