Product details
Overview
MAX1108EUB+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 8-bit, dual-channel successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (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+T datasheet, MAX1108EUB+T pinout, MAX1108EUB+T application, or MAX1108EUB+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs (INL ±0.2 LSB, SINAD 49dB, tCONV 20µs), µMAX package footprint, VDD monitoring capability, and confirmed alternatives for low-voltage, space-constrained ADC selection.
Technical Context
The MAX1108EUB+T implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with an on-chip track/hold amplifier and auto-zero rail referenced to VDD/2. Its conversion process uses a 18pF capacitive DAC and is fully controlled via an 8-bit software-configurable control byte transmitted over the serial interface.
All operating modes-including internal/external reference selection, external/internal clock mode, unipolar/pseudo-differential/bipolar input configuration, and power-down activation-are determined by bits SEL2–SEL0, I/EREF, and I/ECLK in the control byte. Acquisition time (tACQ = 1µs) and conversion time (tCONV = 20µs at 500kHz SCLK) are directly governed by the external serial clock frequency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit SAR-provides 256 discrete output codes with no missing codes over temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | Up to 50ksps-supports real-time signal capture in portable instrumentation without external timing circuitry. |
| INL | ±0.2 LSB (typ)-ensures monotonicity and linearity critical for precision sensor interfacing and system diagnostics. |
| SINAD | 49dB at 10kHz-enables accurate digitization of medium-bandwidth analog signals such as battery voltage or thermistor outputs. |
| Supply Current | 105µA at 3V/50ksps-minimizes battery drain in solar-powered remote systems and 4–20mA loop-powered devices. |
| Power-Down Current | 0.5µA-allows deep sleep between measurements to extend operational lifetime in energy-harvesting applications. |
| Reference Voltage | +2.048V internal-sets full-scale range for unipolar mode (0 to +2.048V) or bipolar mode (±1.024V), eliminating need for external reference IC. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1108EUB+T is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), occupying only 20% of an 8-pin plastic DIP footprint-optimized for ultra-compact PCB layouts in handheld medical instruments and remote sensors.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Accepts +2.7V to +3.6V; powers internal reference, T/H, and logic; PSR ±0.4mV over supply range. |
| CH0 (Pin 2) | Analog input channel 0 | Sampled input (SI) in single-ended or pseudo-differential mode; common-mode range = 0 to VDD. |
| CH1 (Pin 3) | Analog input channel 1 | Second independent analog input; shares same configuration and timing as CH0 via software control. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog/digital ground | Single ground reference for all analog and digital circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise. |
| REF (Pin 5) | Reference voltage terminal | Outputs +2.048V internal reference or accepts external 1V to VDD reference; bypass with 1µF capacitor to GND. |
| COM (Pin 6) | Common reference input | Sets zero-code point in single-ended mode; must remain stable to ±0.5LSB during conversion. |
| CS (Pin 7) | Active-low chip select | Enables serial communication; DOUT enters high-impedance state when CS is high. |
| DIN (Pin 8) | Serial data input | Receives 8-bit control byte on rising SCLK edges; configures input mode, clock source, and power state. |
| DOUT (Pin 9) | Serial data output | Transmits 8-bit conversion result MSB-first on falling SCLK edges; three-state, compatible with 3V/5V logic. |
| SCLK (Pin 10) | Serial clock input | Drives data transfer and (in external mode) sets conversion speed; supports 50kHz–500kHz operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input modes | Unipolar, pseudo-differential, or bipolar operation selected via control byte-eliminates hardware rework for multi-sensor designs. |
| VDD monitoring capability | Dedicated mode measures supply voltage against internal reference-enables autonomous battery health checks without external components. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility | No level-shifting or glue logic required-direct interface to ARM Cortex-M, PIC, or MSP430 microcontrollers with standard serial peripheral drivers. |
| Internal track/hold with no external hold capacitor | Reduces BOM count and layout area-simplifies design for space-constrained portable equipment. |
| Low-power power-down mode | 0.5µA shutdown current-extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like environmental sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit dual-channel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 2.7V–5.25V supply; 1MSPS max rate; no internal reference; requires external REF input. | Better speed but higher power (1.2mA); lacks VDD monitoring and bipolar mode. | Select when sampling >100ksps is required and external reference is already present. |
| MAX1110EUB+ | Same µMAX package; 10-bit resolution; 135µA supply current; +2.048V reference; identical pinout and control protocol. | Higher resolution at modest power penalty; drop-in upgrade path for precision-critical upgrades. | Choose for enhanced dynamic range where 8-bit quantization noise limits measurement fidelity. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1110EUB+, the MAX1108EUB+ uniquely balances ultra-low power (105µA), integrated reference, VDD monitoring, and compact µMAX packaging-making it optimal for battery longevity and board-space constraints in portable diagnostics.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX1108EUB+T?
The MAX1108EUB+T is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, as confirmed by the Ordering Information table specifying "EUB" suffix for the extended temperature grade. This makes MAX1108EUB+T suitable for deployment in outdoor remote sensors, automotive cabin modules, and industrial field instruments where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits.
Does MAX1108EUB+T support bipolar input configurations?
Yes, MAX1108EUB+T supports bipolar operation via software configuration: when configured for pseudo-differential bipolar mode, the full-scale range becomes ±VREF/2 = ±1.024V, with COM serving as the reference midpoint. This capability is explicitly documented in the Features list and Functional Diagram, enabling direct digitization of AC-coupled or centered sensor outputs without external level-shifting circuitry.
Can MAX1108EUB+T operate with a 5V supply?
No-MAX1108EUB+T is specified only for +2.7V to +3.6V operation. Attempting to power it from 5V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings (VDD to GND = –0.3V to +6V is stress-only; functional operation above +3.6V is not guaranteed). For 4.5V–5.5V systems, the pin-compatible MAX1109EUB+T variant-with +4.096V internal reference-must be used instead of MAX1108EUB+T.
What is the minimum acquisition time for MAX1108EUB+T?
The minimum acquisition time (tACQ) for MAX1108EUB+T is 1µs, achieved at the maximum supported SCLK frequency of 2MHz. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics tables under "TRACK/HOLD" and is derived from the internal T/H circuit's RC time constant (6 × (RS + RIN) × 18pF), where RIN = 6.5kΩ. Accurate sampling requires the analog source impedance (RS) to be ≤2.7kΩ when operating at full speed.
How does the VDD monitoring mode work in MAX1108EUB+T?
In VDD monitoring mode, MAX1108EUB+T internally routes the VDD supply to the analog input multiplexer and converts it against its +2.048V internal reference. The resulting 8-bit code directly represents VDD as a fraction of 2.048V (e.g., code 0xFF ≈ 3.6V). This feature is enabled via bit configuration in the control byte and requires no external resistive divider-providing autonomous battery voltage tracking in MAX1108EUB+T-based systems.
