Product details
Overview
The MAX1106CUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, single-supply, 8-bit successive-approximation ADC with integrated track/hold, internal +2.048V reference, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface, and pin-selectable unipolar single-ended or pseudo-differential operation. It operates from +2.7V to +3.6V, draws only 96µA at 25ksps, and delivers ±0.15 LSB INL over temperature - ideal for portable data loggers and hand-held medical instruments requiring compact, battery-efficient signal digitization.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1106CUB+ datasheet, MAX1106CUB+ pinout, MAX1106CUB+ application, or MAX1106CUB+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25ksps conversion rate with 35µs guaranteed tCONV, 0.5µA shutdown current, 1.5MHz small-signal input bandwidth, and µMAX-10 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX1106CUB+ employs a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with an integrated auto-zeroed track/hold circuit that acquires signals in ≤1µs (typical) and holds during conversion. Its internal 2.048V bandgap reference is buffered at REFOUT and can be used directly via REFIN connection or replaced by an external 1V–VDD reference.
Digital control is implemented via three dedicated pins: CONVST initiates conversion on falling edge after ≥1µs high pulse; SCLK clocks out 8-bit MSB-first data on falling edges up to 2MHz; SHDN enables 0.5µA power-down mode with 12ms wake-up time when using internal reference. The interface requires no external logic for SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE host connection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit SAR - delivers discrete digital output with 256 distinct codes for basic sensor digitization tasks |
| Conversion Rate | 25ksps maximum - supports real-time sampling of audio-band and industrial control signals |
| INL | ±0.15 LSB (typ), ±0.5 LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and <0.06% full-scale linearity error across temperature |
| Supply Current | 96µA at 3V/25ksps - enables multi-year operation from coin-cell batteries in remote monitoring systems |
| Shutdown Current | 0.5µA - reduces average power by >99% between conversions in duty-cycled applications |
| Input Bandwidth | 1.5MHz small-signal - allows undersampling of RF or transient events without external anti-alias filter |
| Reference Voltage | +2.048V internal (REFOUT→REFIN) - provides precise, temperature-stable scaling with ±50ppm/°C tempco |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1106CUB+ is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), offering 20% footprint vs. 8-pin DIP and thermal performance suitable for handheld devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +2.7V to +3.6V; powers analog core, reference, and digital interface |
| IN+ (Pin 2) | Positive analog input | Sampled node; full-scale range = GND to VDD when using internal reference |
| IN− (Pin 3) | Negative analog input | Common-mode reference; must remain stable within ±0.1LSB for pseudo-differential accuracy |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog/digital ground | Single ground plane required; decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to VDD/GND pins |
| REFOUT (Pin 5) | Internal reference output | 2.048V buffered source; requires 1µF bypass to GND for stability and noise rejection |
| REFIN (Pin 6) | Reference voltage input | Connects to REFOUT for internal reference use; accepts 1V–VDD external references |
| CONVST (Pin 7) | Conversion start trigger | Active-high pulse ≥1µs initiates autozero; falling edge starts conversion sequence |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Active-low shutdown enable | Pulling low disables bias circuits and forces DOUT into high-Z; wake-up requires 12ms for internal reference settle |
| DOUT (Pin 9) | Serial data output | Three-state, MSB-first output clocked on SCLK falling edge; goes high-Z after 8th bit |
| SCLK (Pin 10) | Serial clock input | Accepts up to 2MHz clock; timing-critical for data readout; must stay low during conversion for best SNR |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 2.7V–5.25V supply; 1MSPS max rate; no internal reference; requires external 2.5V ref | Better speed but higher power (1.2mA); needs precision external reference and decoupling | Select when >25ksps sampling or tighter DC accuracy (±0.5 LSB INL) is required, and board space allows external ref |
| TLV2541CD | 2.7V–5.5V supply; 200ksps; internal 2.5V ref; SPI-only (no QSPI/MICROWIRE) | Higher resolution option (10-bit) with similar power; lacks pseudo-differential input flexibility | Choose for upgrade path to 10-bit precision in same µSO-8 footprint, where single-ended inputs suffice |
Compared with ADS7822U and TLV2541CD, the MAX1106CUB+ offers lowest quiescent current (96µA vs. 1.2mA/1.5mA), built-in 2.048V reference with 50ppm/°C stability, and broader digital interface compatibility - making it optimal for ultra-low-power, space-constrained, and multi-protocol embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX1106CUB+?
The MAX1106CUB+ guarantees a maximum conversion rate of 25ksps, corresponding to a worst-case conversion time (tCONV) of 35µs. This is achieved using the internal 400kHz oscillator; external clocking is not supported. At lower rates, power-down mode can be inserted between conversions to reduce average current draw significantly.
Does the MAX1106CUB+ require an external reference voltage?
No - the MAX1106CUB+ includes an internal +2.048V bandgap reference accessible at REFOUT. To use it, connect REFOUT to REFIN and bypass REFOUT with a 1µF capacitor to GND. An external reference from 1V to VDD may also be applied directly to REFIN for improved accuracy or different full-scale ranges.
How does the pseudo-differential input mode work on the MAX1106CUB+?
In pseudo-differential mode, only IN+ is sampled and held; IN− serves as a stable common-mode reference. For ±0.5LSB accuracy, IN− must remain within ±0.1LSB of GND during conversion. A 0.1µF capacitor from IN− to GND is recommended to suppress noise, especially when using DC bias at IN−.
What is the wake-up time from shutdown for the MAX1106CUB+?
When exiting shutdown (SHDN pulled high), the MAX1106CUB+ requires 12ms for the internal reference to fully stabilize if it was fully discharged. With partial discharge or when using an external reference, wake-up can be as fast as 20µs. After wake-up, allow ≥1µs CONVST high pulse before initiating conversion.
Can the MAX1106CUB+ interface directly with a 5V microcontroller SPI port?
Yes - the MAX1106CUB+ digital inputs (SCLK, CONVST, SHDN) accept logic levels compatible with both 3V and 5V systems regardless of VDD (2.7V–3.6V). DOUT output is CMOS-level with VOH ≥ VDD − 0.5V and VOL ≤ 0.4V, so a level shifter is not required for 5V MCU interfacing.
