Product details
Overview
MAX11044ECB+T from Maxim Integrated is a 4-channel, 16-bit simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with independent track-and-hold per channel, 250ksps throughput per channel, ±5V input range, and 20MHz parallel interface. It operates from 4.75V–5.25V analog and 2.7V–5.25V digital supplies, and is used in multiphase motor control and power-grid protection systems requiring precise synchronized acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11044ECB+T datasheet, MAX11044ECB+T pinout, MAX11044ECB+T application, or MAX11044ECB+T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional pin definitions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for industrial data acquisition designs.
Technical Context
The MAX11044ECB+T implements SAR architecture with dedicated T/H circuitry per input channel, enabling true simultaneous sampling across all four analog inputs. Its internal 4.096V reference supports ±5V full-scale operation, while external reference support (3.0V–4.25V) allows configurable input ranges from ±4.0V to ±5.2V.
It features a 20MHz bidirectional parallel interface with active-low RD/WR/CS control, EOC signaling, and configuration register access via DB0–DB3 pins. Channel-to-channel T/H matching is 100ps, aperture delay is 10ns, and input clamping provides ±20mA overrange protection per channel with external resistor limiting.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-16 | 8-channel, 16-bit, 1MSPS, integrated analog front-end (PGA, anti-alias filter), SPI-only interface | Higher channel count and integrated signal conditioning simplify BOM but require SPI host and lack parallel interface flexibility | Select when system prioritizes channel density and analog integration over parallel bus speed and discrete T/H control |
| ADS8684 | 4-channel, 16-bit, 500ksps, single-supply (4.75–5.25V), SPI interface, no internal reference | Lower power (25mW vs. 120mW), no simultaneous sampling (sequential with 250ns inter-channel delay), requires external reference | Select for lower-cost, lower-power applications where 250ns inter-channel skew is acceptable and SPI is preferred |
Compared with AD7606C-16 and ADS8684, the MAX11044ECB+T uniquely balances true simultaneous sampling, parallel interface speed, and ±5V input compatibility-making it optimal for legacy industrial controllers requiring deterministic timing and minimal firmware overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate per channel for the MAX11044ECB+T?
The MAX11044ECB+T achieves 250ksps per channel with true simultaneous sampling across all four inputs. This rate is guaranteed over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range and with both internal and external reference configurations. The 3µs conversion time and 1000µs acquisition window support stable settling for high-impedance sources, and the timing is fully specified in the datasheet's "Timing Characteristics" table under fSAMPLE = 250ksps conditions.
Does the MAX11044ECB+T support external reference input?
Yes, the MAX11044ECB+T supports external reference input via the REFIO pin, accepting voltages from 3.0V to 4.25V. This allows users to configure full-scale input ranges from ±4.0V to ±5.2V depending on reference selection. When using an external reference, the internal 4.096V reference is disabled, and REFIO must be bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor to AGND. The device maintains specified INL, DNL, and SNR performance across the supported external reference range.
What package type and pin count does the MAX11044ECB+T use?
The MAX11044ECB+T uses a 64-pin TQFP-EP (thin quad flat pack with exposed pad) package measuring 10mm × 10mm. The exposed pad is internally connected to AGND and must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. Pin functions-including CH0–CH3, DB0–DB15, CONVST, EOC, RD/WR/CS, and RDC-are explicitly defined in the "Pin Description" section of the MAX11044 datasheet for the TQFP variant.
How does the MAX11044ECB+T handle overvoltage conditions on analog inputs?
The MAX11044ECB+T includes internal ±20mA input clamps on each analog input (CH0–CH3), protecting against overvoltage events up to ±7.5V relative to AGND. To ensure safe operation, an external current-limiting resistor must be placed in series with each input. For example, a 250Ω resistor limits fault current to 20mA at ±5V overvoltage. This architecture eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in many industrial applications while maintaining specified accuracy during normal operation.
Can the MAX11044ECB+T operate with a 3.3V digital supply?
Yes, the MAX11044ECB+T supports DVDD from 2.7V to 5.25V, including standard 3.3V logic levels. At DVDD = 3.3V, the digital supply current is 5.5mA (typical), and interface timing parameters-including t6 (input setup), t7 (input hold), t12 (data valid), and t13 (data hold)-remain fully compliant. All digital inputs (RD, WR, CS, CONVST) accept VIH ≥ 2.0V and VIL ≤ 0.8V, ensuring reliable operation with 3.3V microcontrollers without level translation.
