Product details
Overview
MAX11046ECB+T from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit, 8-channel simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with independent track-and-hold per channel, 250ksps throughput per channel, ±5V input range, and 92.3dB SNR at 10kHz. It serves as the high-precision front-end digitizer in multiphase power monitoring and motor control systems requiring synchronized voltage/current acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11046ECB+T datasheet, MAX11046ECB+T pinout, MAX11046ECB+T application, or MAX11046ECB+T equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (64-pin TQFP-EP), confirmed pin functions (e.g., DB0–DB15, CONVST, EOC), channel-specific timing (3µs conversion time, 100ps channel-to-channel T/H matching), and real-world selection guidance against comparable 8-channel ADCs.
Technical Context
The MAX11046ECB+T implements a true simultaneous-sampling architecture using eight independent SAR ADCs and dedicated track-and-hold circuits - enabling coherent capture across all eight channels without inter-channel skew. Its internal 4.096V reference provides ±5V full-scale input range with ±5ppm/°C drift, while the 20MHz parallel interface supports deterministic readout of 16-bit results without protocol overhead.
It operates from separate 4.75V–5.25V analog and 2.7V–5.25V digital supplies, eliminating level-shifting needs for host MCU interfacing. Input overrange protection uses ±20mA internal clamps with external resistor limiting, and aperture delay is tightly controlled at 10ns with 100ps matching between channels.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-channel simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7609BSTZ | 18-bit resolution, 200ksps/channel, SPI interface, single 5V supply only | Higher resolution but lower throughput; lacks flexible DVDD range and parallel interface speed | Select when absolute precision > speed, and host interface is SPI-constrained |
| ADS8689IPWR | 16-bit, 1MSPS single-channel SAR with integrated PGA and ±10.24V range; no simultaneous sampling | Designed for high-voltage single-ended inputs; requires external multiplexing for multi-channel use | Select for cost-sensitive, non-simultaneous applications with wide input range requirements |
Compared with AD7609BSTZ and ADS8689IPWR, the MAX11046ECB+T uniquely balances 16-bit accuracy, 8-channel simultaneity, 250ksps throughput, and 20MHz parallel readout - making it optimal for real-time power electronics control where timing coherence and deterministic latency are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate per channel for the MAX11046ECB+T?
The MAX11046ECB+T achieves 250ksps per channel with true simultaneous sampling across all eight inputs. This rate is guaranteed under specified conditions: VAVDD = 4.75V–5.25V, VDVDD = 2.7V–5.25V, TA = –40°C to +85°C, and fSAMPLE = 250ksps. The 3µs conversion time enables deterministic timing for real-time control loops.
Does the MAX11046ECB+T require an external reference voltage?
No - the MAX11046ECB+T includes a low-drift internal 4.096V reference that supports ±5V full-scale input range. However, it also accepts external references from 3.0V to 4.25V via the REFIO pin, enabling custom full-scale ranges from ±4.0V to ±5.2V. The internal reference exhibits ±5ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 4.08V–4.112V initial tolerance.
What package type is used for the MAX11046ECB+T?
The MAX11046ECB+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 optimal thermal performance and noise immunity.
How does the MAX11046ECB+T handle input overvoltage conditions?
The MAX11046ECB+T integrates ±20mA input clamps on each CH0–CH7 pin. When paired with an external series current-limiting resistor, these clamps protect the internal circuitry from overvoltage transients up to ±7.5V relative to AGND, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Can the MAX11046ECB+T operate with a 3.3V digital supply?
Yes - the MAX11046ECB+T supports DVDD from 2.7V to 5.25V, including standard 3.3V logic levels. At VDVDD = 3.3V, typical digital supply current is 7.0mA during conversion (for MAX11046/MAX11046B), and the parallel interface remains fully compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters.
