Product details
Overview
The MAX1108EUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 8-bit, dual-channel successive-approximation ADC with integrated track/hold, internal +2.048V reference, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire serial interface, and software-configurable unipolar/bipolar input modes. It operates from +2.7V to +3.6V, draws only 105µA at 50ksps, and supports battery monitoring in portable data loggers and hand-held measurement devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1108EUB+ datasheet, MAX1108EUB+ pinout, MAX1108EUB+ application, or MAX1108EUB+ equivalent, this device offers verified 8-bit resolution, ±0.5 LSB DNL, 49dB SINAD at 10kHz, 1µs acquisition time, and µMAX-10 package compatibility - critical for space-constrained, low-quiescent-power analog front-end designs.
Technical Context
The MAX1108EUB+ employs a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with an on-chip track/hold and auto-zero rail referenced to VDD/2. Its conversion process is fully controlled via an 8-bit software-configurable control byte that selects input channel (CH0/CH1), reference source (internal/external), clock mode (internal/external), and input polarity (unipolar/bipolar).
It supports two clocking schemes: external SCLK drives both data transfer and conversion (50–500kHz), or internal oscillator enables autonomous conversion (400kHz typical). The analog input multiplexer routes sampled input (SI) and reference input (RI) to a 18pF holding capacitor, requiring RI stability within ±0.5LSB during conversion.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The MAX1108EUB+ is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package with exposed pad (thermal performance optimized for surface-mount assembly). Pin 1 is VDD; pin 4 is GND; pin 5 is REF; pins 2 and 3 are CH0 and CH1 analog inputs; pin 6 is COM; pins 7–10 are CS, DIN, DOUT, and SCLK digital interface signals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +2.7V to +3.6V; powers internal reference, T/H, and logic; requires local 0.1µF bypass to GND. |
| CH0 (Pin 2) | Analog input channel 0 | Sampled input (SI) in unipolar/bipolar modes; common-mode range 0V to VDD; max overvoltage ±0.3V. |
| CH1 (Pin 3) | Analog input channel 1 | Second independent sampled input; shares same electrical specs and configuration flexibility as CH0. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog/digital ground | Single ground reference for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance return path. |
| REF (Pin 5) | Reference voltage terminal | Outputs +2.048V internal reference or accepts external 1V–VDD reference; bypass with 1µF to GND. |
| COM (Pin 6) | Common-mode reference | Sets zero-code point in single-ended mode; must remain stable within ±0.5LSB during conversion. |
| CS (Pin 7) | Active-low chip select | Enables serial interface when low; places DOUT in high-impedance state when high. |
| DIN (Pin 8) | Serial data input | Accepts 8-bit control byte on rising SCLK edges; configures channel, reference, clock, and polarity modes. |
| DOUT (Pin 9) | Serial data output | Three-state output; delivers 8-bit conversion result MSB-first on falling SCLK edges; high-Z when CS = high. |
| SCLK (Pin 10) | Serial clock input | Clocks data in/out; in external clock mode, also controls conversion timing (50–500kHz required). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input topology | Selects unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differential operation per conversion via 8-bit control byte - eliminates hardware rework for multi-sensor platforms. |
| VDD monitoring mode | Dedicated configuration bit enables direct measurement of supply voltage - simplifies battery health diagnostics without external resistive dividers. |
| Internal track/hold with no external hold capacitor | Integrated 18pF hold capacitor and auto-zero rail eliminate external components and layout sensitivity - reduces BOM count and board area. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible interface | 4-wire serial protocol with standard CPOL=CPHA=0 timing - enables plug-and-play integration with ARM Cortex-M, PIC, and MSP430 microcontrollers. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | 0.5µA quiescent current achieved by writing SHDN bit in configuration register - preserves battery charge between measurements in intermittent-sampling systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit dual-channel serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 2.7–5.25V supply; 1.25mW @ 50ksps; no internal reference; requires external 2.5V ref; SPI-only interface | Lacks internal reference and VDD monitoring; higher power draw limits battery life in ultra-low-power nodes | Choose when external precision reference already exists and higher throughput (>100ksps) is needed |
| MAX1112CPE+ | 8-pin PDIP; +4.5V to +5.5V only; 130µA @ 50ksps; +4.096V internal ref; no VDD monitoring mode | Higher supply voltage requirement excludes 3V-only systems; larger package increases board area | Choose for legacy through-hole designs or where +5V rail is standard and µMAX thermal performance is not critical |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1112CPE+, the MAX1108EUB+ uniquely integrates +2.048V reference, VDD monitoring, and 0.5µA shutdown in a 3mm × 3mm µMAX package - making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive, single-supply embedded systems requiring dual-channel flexibility without external support components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX1108EUB+?
The MAX1108EUB+ is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C, as confirmed by its E-grade ordering suffix and the "MAX110_EUB" designation in Maxim's official ordering information table. This extended industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in outdoor remote sensors and automotive cabin instrumentation where ambient conditions vary widely. The MAX1108EUB+ maintains specified INL, DNL, and reference accuracy across this full range.
Does the MAX1108EUB+ require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX1108EUB+ requires only two external components for nominal operation: a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from VDD to GND and a 1µF capacitor from REF to GND. These provide supply decoupling and internal reference stabilization, respectively. No external reference, op-amp buffers, hold capacitors, or clock sources are needed - the device integrates track/hold, +2.048V reference, and internal oscillator.
How does the VDD monitoring mode work in the MAX1108EUB+?
The MAX1108EUB+ implements VDD monitoring by internally routing the supply rail to the analog input multiplexer. When configured via the control byte (SEL2–SEL0 = 111), the device performs a conversion using VDD as the sampled input and the internal +2.048V reference - yielding a digital code proportional to VDD. This eliminates external resistor dividers and enables real-time battery health checks in portable systems.
Can the MAX1108EUB+ interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller SPI port?
Yes, the MAX1108EUB+ digital interface is fully compatible with 3.3V SPI controllers. Its DIN, SCLK, and CS inputs accept logic-high thresholds as low as 2.0V (VIH min = 2.0V at VDD ≤ 3.6V), and DOUT outputs VOH ≥ VDD − 0.5V - ensuring robust 3.3V-level signaling. No level-shifting circuitry is required when interfacing with STM32, ESP32, or nRF52-series MCUs.
What is the maximum achievable sampling rate using the internal clock of the MAX1108EUB+?
The MAX1108EUB+ internal oscillator operates at 400kHz typical, enabling a maximum sampling rate of 50ksps (400kHz ÷ 8 clocks/conversion). This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Internal Clock Frequency" and "Conversion Time" sections. At this rate, the device achieves 49dB SINAD and ±0.5 LSB DNL - meeting requirements for audio pre-amplifier monitoring and sensor fusion in edge devices.
