Product details
Overview
MAX11044ETN+ from Maxim Integrated is a 4-channel, 16-bit simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter with independent track-and-hold per channel, 250ksps throughput per channel, ±5V input range, and 56-pin TQFN-EP package. It delivers 92.3dB SNR and 100ps channel-to-channel T/H matching for precision power-grid protection and multiphase motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11044ETN+ datasheet, MAX11044ETN+ pinout, MAX11044ETN+ application, or MAX11044ETN+ equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, functional pin definitions, real-world use cases in automatic test equipment and vibration analysis, and validated alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The MAX11044ETN+ implements SAR architecture with dedicated T/H circuitry per input channel, enabling true simultaneous sampling across all four analog inputs without inter-channel skew. 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.
Digital interface uses a 20MHz bidirectional parallel bus (DB0–DB15) with active-low RD/WR/CS/CONVST controls and EOC signaling. Analog and digital supplies are fully decoupled: AVDD = 4.75V–5.25V, DVDD = 2.7V–5.25V, enabling direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V host systems without level shifters.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX11044ECB+ | Same 4-channel, 16-bit specs but in 64-pin TQFP-EP package (10mm × 10mm); identical electrical performance and pin-compatible functionality | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy PCBs with larger pad layouts; higher thermal mass suits extended industrial ambient conditions | Select when board space permits larger footprint or when TQFP reflow compatibility is required in existing assembly lines |
| AD7606C-16 | 8-channel, 16-bit SAR ADC with 1MSPS aggregate rate (125ksps/channel), ±10V input range, and integrated analog front-end (PGA, anti-alias filter) | Better suited for higher channel count or wider dynamic range needs; lacks 100ps T/H matching and simultaneous 4-channel 250ksps capability | Choose when expanding beyond 4 channels or requiring programmable gain; avoid when sub-0.01° phase coherence across all channels is mandatory |
Compared with MAX11044ECB+, the MAX11044ETN+ offers superior thermal performance in compact layouts due to its smaller TQFN footprint and exposed pad; compared with AD7606C-16, it delivers tighter channel synchronization at full speed but requires external signal conditioning for ranges beyond ±5V.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate per channel for the MAX11044ETN+?
The MAX11044ETN+ achieves 250ksps per channel under simultaneous sampling mode. This rate is maintained across all four channels concurrently, supported by independent track-and-hold circuitry and a 20MHz parallel interface. Conversion time is fixed at 3µs, and acquisition time is specified at 1000µs, ensuring deterministic timing for real-time control applications.
Does the MAX11044ETN+ require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX11044ETN+ includes a low-drift 4.096V internal reference with ±5ppm/°C temperature coefficient, enabling immediate ±5V full-scale operation without external components. However, REFIO also accepts an external reference from 3.0V to 4.25V, allowing customization of input range (e.g., ±4.0V to ±5.2V) when higher accuracy or different scaling is needed.
How does the MAX11044ETN+ handle overvoltage conditions on analog inputs?
The MAX11044ETN+ integrates ±20mA input clamps on each CH0–CH3 pin, providing robust overrange protection. When paired with a simple external series resistor (e.g., 250Ω), these clamps limit input current to safe levels during ±7.5V transients. This eliminates the need for discrete TVS diodes or op-amp buffers in most industrial sensor interfacing scenarios.
What is the significance of the RDC pin on the MAX11044ETN+?
The RDC pin is the output of the internal reference buffer, requiring ≥80μF total capacitance to AGND for stability. It must be connected to all other RDC pins (pins 22, 28, 35, 43, 49) and bypassed directly to AGND. Proper RDC decoupling is essential to maintain reference noise below 10µV RMS-failure to meet this requirement degrades SNR and increases INL beyond specification.
Can the MAX11044ETN+ operate with a 3.3V digital supply?
Yes, the MAX11044ETN+ supports DVDD from 2.7V to 5.25V, making it fully compatible with 3.3V host systems. Digital supply current is 5.5mA (typ) at 3.3V and 250ksps, and all digital I/O thresholds (VIH = 2V, VIL = 0.8V) are compatible with standard 3.3V CMOS logic-no level-shifting circuitry is required for interfacing with FPGA or microcontroller peripherals.
