Product details
Overview
MAX1090ACEI+T from Maxim Integrated is a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with internal +2.5V reference, 8-channel single-ended / 4-channel pseudo-differential analog input multiplexer, byte-wide parallel (8+2) interface, and 400ksps max sampling rate. It operates from a single +5V analog supply and supports user-adjustable digital logic levels (+2.7V to +5.5V) via VLOGIC pin, enabling direct interfacing with mixed-voltage microprocessors in portable data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1090ACEI+T datasheet, MAX1090ACEI+T pinout, MAX1090ACEI+T application, or MAX1090ACEI+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±0.5 LSB INL at 0°C to +70°C, software-configurable unipolar/bipolar input mode, 2.5mA active current at 400ksps, tri-state INT output, and QSOP-28 package compatibility with industrial sensor front-ends and battery-powered medical monitors.
Technical Context
The MAX1090ACEI+T implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold (6MHz full-power bandwidth), on-chip 6MHz clock generator, and configurable acquisition timing (internal or external). Its analog input stage supports both single-ended (CH0–CH7) and pseudo-differential (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, CH6/CH7) modes via software-controlled control byte.
Digital interface uses an 8+2 parallel bus with HBEN for high-byte/low-byte multiplexing, active-low CS/WR/RD control, and interrupt-driven readout via open-drain INT. Power management includes two software-selectable power-down modes reducing supply current to <2µA, with fast 2µs wake-up time and automatic reference shutdown.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 HBEN | High Byte Enable | Selects whether D7–D0 carry LSBs (HBEN=0) or MSBs (HBEN=1); enables 10-bit readout over 8-bit data bus. |
| 10 INT | Interrupt Output | Active-low signal indicating conversion completion and data readiness; tri-states when CS is high. |
| 11 RD | Read Select | Falling edge initiates data read from D7–D0; requires CS low to activate output drivers. |
| 12 WR | Write Select | Rising edge latches control byte (channel, mode, clock/power-down settings) and triggers acquisition/conversion sequence. |
| 13 CLK | Clock Input | Accepts external 100kHz–7.6MHz TTL/CMOS clock; tied to VDD/GND to enable internal clock mode. |
| 14 CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for digital interface; places INT, D7–D0 in high-impedance state when deasserted. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit parallel-output ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution, SPI interface, no internal reference, 200ksps max rate | Lacks parallel interface and internal reference; requires external ref and level-shifting for 3.3V µPs | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-resolution designs where serial interface suffices and board space permits external reference. |
| MAX1166CEE+ | 12-bit resolution, I²C interface, internal reference, 100ksps max rate | Higher resolution but slower; I²C limits throughput vs. parallel bus; same QSOP-16 package (not pin-compatible) | Prefer for precision applications needing >10-bit accuracy where speed is secondary and I²C bus is already present. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1166CEE+, the MAX1090ACEI+T uniquely combines 10-bit accuracy, 400ksps parallel throughput, integrated +2.5V reference, and VLOGIC voltage flexibility-making it optimal for µP-based data loggers requiring deterministic timing and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX1090ACEI+T?
The MAX1090ACEI+T is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C (Commercial grade). This range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet, where parameters like INL (±0.5 LSB), gain error (±2 LSB), and supply current are guaranteed across this interval. The 'C' suffix in ACEI denotes the 0°C to +70°C rating, distinguishing it from 'E' grade (–40°C to +85°C) variants like MAX1090AEEI.
Does the MAX1090ACEI+T require an external clock to operate?
No, the MAX1090ACEI+T does not require an external clock. It features an internal 6MHz clock generator selectable via control byte bits D7/D6. When configured for internal clock mode, the CLK pin must be tied to VDD or GND to prevent floating. External clock operation (100kHz–7.6MHz) is optional and used when precise aperture timing or synchronization with system clocks is required.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1090ACEI+T support in single-ended mode?
The MAX1090ACEI+T supports eight analog input channels (CH0 through CH7) in single-ended mode, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Pin Configurations sections. This is specific to the MAX1090 family; the pin-compatible MAX1092 variant supports only four single-ended channels. Channel selection is performed via address bits A2–A0 in the control byte.
Can the MAX1090ACEI+T interface directly with a 3.3V microprocessor?
Yes, the MAX1090ACEI+T can interface directly with a 3.3V microprocessor using its VLOGIC pin. The device allows the digital I/O voltage to be set independently from the +5V analog supply - VLOGIC accepts +2.7V to +5.5V, so 3.3V is fully supported. This ensures correct VOH/VOL levels on D7–D0 and INT pins without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the purpose of the HBEN pin on the MAX1090ACEI+T?
The HBEN (High Byte Enable) pin on the MAX1090ACEI+T controls multiplexing of the 10-bit conversion result onto the 8-bit data bus. When HBEN = 1, D7–D0 carry the two most significant bits (D9, D8); when HBEN = 0, they carry the eight least significant bits (D7–D0). This enables full 10-bit readout using standard 8-bit µP buses without requiring a 10-bit wide interface.
