Product details
Overview
MAX1083ACUE from Maxim Integrated is a 10-bit, 4-channel serial analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated track/hold, multiplexer, and internal +2.5V reference. It operates from a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply, delivers 300ksps sampling rate, supports software-configurable unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differential inputs, and targets battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1083ACUE datasheet, MAX1083ACUE pinout, MAX1083ACUE application, or MAX1083ACUE equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing and accuracy specs, TSSOP-16 pin mapping, power-mode trade-offs, and two validated alternative ADCs for portable instrumentation and medical sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX1083ACUE implements successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with an on-chip track/hold amplifier and 4:1 analog multiplexer. Its conversion cycle requires 16 SCLK periods at up to 4.8MHz, with acquisition time fixed at 625ns and aperture jitter under 50ps - enabling accurate digitization of signals up to 3MHz full-power bandwidth.
It features four software-selectable power modes (normal, reduced-power, fast power-down, full power-down), where serial interface activity automatically wakes the device. The internal reference buffer provides ±1.5% adjustability via REFADJ, and external reference support extends input range from 1V to VDD.
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 | 300ksps - supports continuous acquisition at 300,000 samples per second with 3.3µs conversion time using 4.8MHz SCLK. |
| Supply Voltage | +2.7V to +3.6V - single-supply operation compatible with Li-ion and 3.3V logic rails without level-shifting. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.5 LSB / ±1.0 LSB - ensures high linearity for precision measurement in medical instruments and process control. |
| Reference | Internal +2.5V ±0.02V (±1.5% adjustable) - eliminates need for external reference IC while maintaining ±0.5LSB offset error stability. |
| Power Modes | Full power-down draws 2µA - enables ultra-low quiescent current between conversions in battery-powered pen digitizers. |
| Input Configuration | 4-channel single-ended or 2-channel pseudo-differential - allows flexible signal routing without external op-amps or differential receivers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1083ACUE is housed in a 16-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP) with 0.65mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, and rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, VDD2 | Positive supply inputs | Must be tied together and decoupled locally; supplies analog and digital sections independently but require same voltage rail. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground plane required; COM pin must remain stable to ±0.5LSB relative to this node during conversion. |
| CH0–CH3, COM | Analog input channels and common reference | Supports single-ended (CHx vs COM) or pseudo-differential (CH0/CH1 or CH2/CH3) configurations; COM sets zero-code point. |
| REF, REFADJ | Reference buffer output and adjustment terminal | REF outputs 2.500V nominal; pulling REFADJ to VDD1 disables internal buffer for external reference use (1V to VDD). |
| SCLK, CS, DIN, DOUT, SSTRB | 4-wire SPI-compatible serial interface | Direct connection to microcontrollers without glue logic; SSTRB provides strobe synchronized to MSB decision for TMS320 DSP interfacing. |
| SHDN | Hardware shutdown control | Active-low input reduces supply current to 2µA; overrides software power modes and forces full power-down state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated track/hold + multiplexer | Eliminates need for external sample-hold circuitry and analog switch drivers in multi-channel sensor front-ends. |
| Software-configurable input mode | Runtime selection of unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differential operation via control byte - no hardware changes required. |
| Four selectable power modes | Reduces average current from 2.5mA (normal) to 2µA (full power-down), enabling duty-cycled operation in portable data loggers. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/TMS320 compatibility | Interoperates with industry-standard serial peripherals using CPOL=0, CPHA=0 configuration - no protocol translation needed. |
| Internal +2.5V reference with ±1.5% adjustability | Provides stable reference without external components while allowing fine-tuning via REFADJ to compensate for system-level gain errors. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution, 200ksps, +2.7V to +5.25V supply, no internal reference - requires external REF or bandgap. | Limited to lower-accuracy industrial monitoring; lacks bipolar input support and software-configurable modes. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs resolution needs and external reference is already present in design. |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 12-bit resolution, 500ksps, +2.7V to +3.6V supply, internal 2.048V reference, SPI-only interface. | Higher resolution and speed suit vibration analysis; lacks pseudo-differential mode and TMS320 strobe output. | Prefer for upgraded precision in portable test equipment where SSTRB strobe is not required. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11100ETE+, the MAX1083ACUE uniquely balances 10-bit accuracy, 300ksps throughput, pseudo-differential capability, and TMS320-compatible strobe output - making it optimal for mid-tier portable instrumentation where feature integration and power efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX1083ACUE?
The MAX1083ACUE supports a maximum sampling rate of 300ksps, achieved using a 4.8MHz serial clock with 16 clock cycles per conversion. This rate is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and supply range (+2.7V to +3.6V), with conversion time fixed at 3.3µs and acquisition time at 625ns.
Does the MAX1083ACUE require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX1083ACUE includes an internal +2.5V reference with ±1.5% adjustability via the REFADJ pin. An external reference (1V to VDD) may be used by disabling the internal buffer - but doing so forfeits the ±0.5LSB offset stability and requires careful layout to avoid noise coupling into the REF pin.
How does the pseudo-differential input mode work on the MAX1083ACUE?
The MAX1083ACUE supports pseudo-differential mode by selecting CH0/CH1 or CH2/CH3 pairs; only the positive input (IN+) is actively sampled, while the negative input (IN−) must remain stable to ±0.5LSB during conversion. This architecture avoids true differential receiver complexity while enabling common-mode rejection in sensor applications.
Can the MAX1083ACUE interface directly with a TMS320-series DSP?
Yes, the MAX1083ACUE's SSTRB pin outputs a strobe pulse synchronized to the MSB decision, allowing direct connection to TMS320-family DSPs without external timing logic. This strobe aligns with the first valid bit of the 12-bit serial output stream, simplifying firmware-driven data capture in real-time control loops.
What power-saving modes are available on the MAX1083ACUE?
The MAX1083ACUE offers four software-selectable power modes: normal (2.5mA), reduced-power (1.3mA), fast power-down (0.9mA), and full power-down (2µA). All modes are entered via control-byte configuration, and serial interface activity automatically powers the device back up - enabling efficient burst-mode acquisition in portable systems.
