Product details
Overview
MAX11040GUU+T from Maxim Integrated is a 24-bit, 4-channel simultaneous-sampling sigma-delta ADC with cascading capability for up to 32 synchronized channels, 117dB SNR at 1ksps, ±2.2V differential input range using internal 2.5V reference, and ±6V overvoltage protection - deployed in multiphase power metering and industrial energy measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11040GUU+T datasheet, MAX11040GUU+T pinout, MAX11040GUU+T application, or MAX11040GUU+T equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous sampling integrity, programmable phase delay (0–333μs), 0.065% output data rate resolution, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility, and -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature operation.
Technical Context
The MAX11040GUU+T integrates four independent sigma-delta modulators with dedicated 24-bit digital decimation filters, each accepting fully differential analog inputs. Its internal crystal oscillator (24.576MHz) or external clock drives a fixed 8× division to generate the 3.072MHz modulator clock, enabling precise timing control across all channels.
It supports daisy-chained synchronization via CASCIN/CASCOUT and global timing alignment through SYNC input, allowing coordinated sampling across up to eight devices. The on-chip digital filter provides programmable -3dB bandwidth (0.11–13.5kHz) scaling linearly with output data rate (0.25–64ksps), with passband flatness <±0.1dB up to 1.74kHz at 16ksps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit - delivers 144dB theoretical dynamic range for high-accuracy RMS and harmonic analysis in energy meters. |
| SNR | 117dB at 1ksps - enables sub-0.001% RMS amplitude error for 0.1% full-scale 62.5Hz sine-wave inputs. |
| Input Range | ±2.2V differential - compatible with standard CT/PT signal conditioning stages without external gain scaling. |
| Overvoltage Protection | ±6V on AIN+/AIN− - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in harsh industrial environments. |
| Output Data Rate | 0.25–64ksps with 0.065% resolution - allows fine-grained tracking of grid frequency drift (e.g., 49.95–50.05Hz) in real time. |
| Channel-to-Channel Phase Matching | 0.0001° - ensures <10ns inter-channel skew for accurate vector-based power calculations (P, Q, S). |
| Supply Voltage | AVDD = 3.0–3.6V, DVDD = 2.7–VAVDD - single-supply operation simplifies PCB power architecture. |
Pinout & Package
MAX11040GUU+T is housed in a 38-pin TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153), optimized for thermal performance and board-level noise immunity in high-density industrial layouts. Pin spacing is 0.5mm, body width 4.4mm, and total footprint 9.7 × 4.4 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 34, 38 | AIN0− / AIN1− / AIN3− / AIN2− | Negative differential analog inputs - each paired with corresponding AIN+ for true fully differential acquisition. |
| 2, 6, 33, 37 | AIN0+ / AIN1+ / AIN3+ / AIN2+ | Positive differential analog inputs - matched impedance and layout-critical for CMRR >109dB. |
| 3, 7, 32, 36 | REF0 / REF1 / REF3 / REF2 | Per-channel buffered reference outputs - require 1µF bypass to AGND to stabilize modulator reference nodes. |
| 9 | REFIO | Reference I/O - supplies 2.5V (±50ppm/°C drift) when internal mode enabled; accepts 2.3–2.7V external reference. |
| 13, 14 | CASCIN / CASCOUT | Daisy-chain control - enables single-SPI bus to read all 32 channels from eight cascaded devices with one command. |
| 15–18 | CS / SCLK / DIN / DOUT | SPI-compatible 4-wire interface - supports CPOL=1, CPHA=0; DOUT active on SCLK rising edge, DIN sampled on falling edge. |
| 19, 20 | FAULT / OVRFLW | Open-drain fault indicators - FAULT asserts on ±6V input excursion; OVRFLW signals overflow or FAULT condition. |
| 24 | SYNC | Sampling alignment input - falling edge synchronizes conversion start across multiple devices, critical for multi-phase sync. |
| 25, 26 | XOUT / XIN | Crystal oscillator terminals - accept 24.576MHz fundamental-mode crystal (ESR <30Ω); CLKOUT (pin 21) buffers this clock. |
| 30 | AVDD | Analog supply - requires local 1µF + 0.01µF bypass to AGND; powers modulators, references, and analog front-end. |
| 12, 27 | DVDD | Digital supply - 2.7V to VAVDD; powers serial interface, registers, and digital filter logic. |
| 4, 8, 10, 29, 31, 35 | AGND | Analog ground - must be isolated from DGND except at single-point star connection to minimize digital noise coupling. |
| 11, 28 | DGND | Digital ground - return path for DVDD, SPI signals, and fault outputs; connects to system digital plane. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-accuracy simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-24 | 18-bit SAR architecture, 200ksps max, no internal oscillator, requires external reference and clock; lower SNR (105dB @ 10ksps). | Better suited for transient capture (e.g., arc-flash detection) but lacks sigma-delta's inherent 50/60Hz notch rejection and DC stability. | Select AD7606C-24 when higher throughput and lower latency (<1μs) outweigh SNR and power trade-offs. |
| ADS131M04 | 24-bit delta-sigma, 64ksps, integrated PGA and burn-out current sources; no cascading support; 102dB SNR @ 1ksps. | Optimized for sensor signal chains (e.g., strain gauges) with on-chip excitation, but lacks per-channel programmable phase delay. | Select ADS131M04 for compact 4-channel sensor nodes where PGA gain flexibility matters more than multi-device synchronization. |
Compared with AD7606C-24 and ADS131M04, MAX11040GUU+T uniquely combines 24-bit sigma-delta precision, hardware-supported cascading, and per-channel phase compensation - making it the only choice for metrology-grade synchronized multi-device energy measurement systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of MAX11040GUU+T devices that can be cascaded for synchronized sampling?
The MAX11040GUU+T supports hardware daisy-chaining of up to eight devices using CASCIN/CASCOUT pins, enabling synchronized sampling across 32 fully differential analog input channels. This configuration uses a single SPI interface with one chip-select line, reducing host controller GPIO count and simplifying firmware implementation for large-scale acquisition systems.
Does MAX11040GUU+T support both internal and external reference modes?
Yes, MAX11040GUU+T supports dual reference operation: internal mode delivers a 2.5V ±50ppm/°C reference via REFIO pin, while external mode accepts 2.3V–2.7V reference sources. REFIO must be bypassed with a 1µF capacitor to AGND in either mode, and each channel's REF0–REF3 pins require individual 1µF bypassing for optimal modulator stability.
How does the programmable sampling phase in MAX11040GUU+T improve measurement accuracy?
The MAX11040GUU+T provides per-channel programmable sampling phase delay (0–333μs in 1.33μs steps) to compensate for fixed group delay introduced by external components such as current transformers (CTs), potential transformers (PTs), or anti-aliasing filters. This correction ensures true time-aligned acquisition across all four channels, critical for vector-based power calculations and harmonic analysis.
What is the purpose of the FAULT and OVRFLW pins on MAX11040GUU+T?
FAULT is an open-drain output that asserts low when any analog input exceeds ±6V relative to AGND, indicating overvoltage fault. OVRFLW also open-drain, asserts low on data overflow (conversion result beyond ±2.2V) or when FAULT is active. Both pins feature 30kΩ internal pullups and support wire-NOR connection for centralized fault monitoring across cascaded devices.
Can MAX11040GUU+T operate without an external crystal?
Yes, MAX11040GUU+T can operate without an external crystal by driving the XIN pin with an external 24.576MHz clock source while leaving XOUT unconnected. The internal crystal oscillator is disabled via the XTALEN bit in the configuration register. This mode maintains full timing precision and supports the same 0.065% output data rate resolution and synchronization features as crystal-based operation.
