Product details
Overview
The MAX1109CUB+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 8-bit, dual-channel successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal track/hold, +4.096V reference, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire serial interface, and software-configurable unipolar/bipolar input modes. It operates from +4.5V to +5.5V, consumes 130µA at 50ksps, and supports VDD monitoring for battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1109CUB+T datasheet, MAX1109CUB+T pinout, MAX1109CUB+T application, or MAX1109CUB+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, µMAX package layout, real-world use cases in portable diagnostics and solar-powered remote systems, and two confirmed alternative ADCs with documented functional and supply-voltage differences.
Technical Context
The MAX1109CUB+T uses a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track/hold and auto-zero rail, enabling accurate 8-bit conversion without external hold capacitors. Its flexible control byte configures reference source (internal +4.096V or external 1V–VDD), clock mode (internal 400kHz oscillator or external 50–500kHz), and input topology (single-ended, pseudo-differential, unipolar, or bipolar).
Conversion timing is tightly coupled to the serial clock: in external-clock mode, each conversion requires exactly 10 SCLK cycles (e.g., 20µs at 500kHz); acquisition time is fixed at 1µs, and aperture jitter is under 50ps. The device enters 0.5µA power-down mode via software command and wakes in 12ms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit SAR - delivers 256 discrete output codes with no missing codes over temperature |
| Supply Voltage | +4.5V to +5.5V - compatible with standard 5V logic and industrial power rails |
| Sampling Rate | Up to 50ksps - supports real-time monitoring of sensor signals in handheld instruments |
| Internal Reference | +4.096V ±0.5LSB - enables full-scale 0–4.096V unipolar or ±2.048V bipolar measurement without external reference IC |
| Power Consumption | 130µA at 50ksps / 0.5µA in shutdown - extends battery life in solar- or 4–20mA-powered remote nodes |
| INL / DNL | ±0.5LSB / ±1LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.2% end-point linearity error across full temperature range |
| Small-Signal BW | 1.5MHz - allows undersampling of transient events beyond Nyquist limit with anti-alias filtering |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1109CUB+T is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), offering 20% footprint vs. 8-pin DIP and optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Accepts +4.5V to +5.5V; powers internal reference, T/H, and digital core |
| CH0 (Pin 2) | Analog input channel 0 | Sampled input (SI) in single-ended or pseudo-differential mode; 0–VDD common-mode range |
| CH1 (Pin 3) | Analog input channel 1 | Second independent analog input; shares same configuration and timing as CH0 |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog/digital ground | Single ground reference for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance |
| COM (Pin 6) | Common reference input | Sets zero-code voltage in single-ended mode; stable to ±0.5LSB during conversion |
| REF (Pin 5) | Reference voltage terminal | Outputs +4.096V internal reference or accepts external 1V–VDD reference; bypass with 1µF capacitor |
| CS (Pin 7) | Active-low chip select | Enables serial communication; DOUT goes high-Z when CS = high |
| DIN (Pin 8) | Serial data input | Receives 8-bit control byte on rising SCLK edges; configures mode, channel, polarity, clock source |
| DOUT (Pin 9) | Serial data output | Three-state output; delivers 8-bit result MSB-first on falling SCLK edges; high-Z when CS = high |
| SCLK (Pin 10) | Serial clock input | Clocks data in/out; sets conversion speed in external-clock mode (50–500kHz) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input topology | Single-ended, pseudo-differential, unipolar, or bipolar operation selected via 8-bit control byte - eliminates hardware rework for multi-sensor platforms |
| VDD monitoring mode | Dedicated configuration bit enables direct measurement of supply voltage - replaces external resistor divider in battery-health circuits |

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 | 2.7–5.25V supply; 125µA @ 50ksps; internal 2.5V ref; SPI-only interface | Lacks VDD monitoring mode and bipolar input support; lower supply voltage ceiling | Select when operating below 4.5V or requiring higher resolution (12-bit) - not drop-in compatible due to different control protocol and pinout |
| TLV2548IPW | 2.7–5.5V supply; 1.5mW @ 200ksps; internal 2.5V ref; 8-channel mux; no VDD monitor | Higher power (≈300µA), larger TSSOP-20 package, no software-selectable bipolar mode | Choose for multi-sensor systems needing >2 channels; requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation - not pin-compatible |
Compared with ADS7822U and TLV2548IPW, the MAX1109CUB+T uniquely combines 4.5–5.5V operation, VDD monitoring, bipolar capability, and µMAX packaging - making it optimal for 5V-powered portable diagnostics where supply headroom and feature integration are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX1109CUB+T?
The MAX1109CUB+T supports up to 50ksps in external clock mode with a 500kHz SCLK. Conversion time is fixed at 20µs (10 clock cycles), and the internal oscillator runs at 400kHz - limiting internal-clock mode to ~40ksps. This rate is sufficient for monitoring slow-varying sensor signals in handheld instruments and remote telemetry systems.
Does the MAX1109CUB+T require external components for basic operation?
Yes - a 1µF capacitor is required between REF and GND when using the internal +4.096V reference, and a 0.1µF capacitor is recommended at COM for noise reduction in VDD monitoring mode. No external hold capacitor or reference IC is needed, but anti-alias filtering is advised for input signals above 1.5MHz to prevent aliasing.
Can the MAX1109CUB+T measure negative voltages?
Yes, in bipolar input mode: the MAX1109CUB+T accepts differential inputs where |CH0 − COM| or |CH1 − COM| ranges from 0 to ±2.048V (half the internal reference), outputting twos-complement codes. However, absolute pin voltages must remain within GND − 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V - true negative supply rails are not supported.
How does the VDD monitoring mode function in the MAX1109CUB+T?
In VDD monitoring mode, the MAX1109CUB+T internally routes VDD to the CH0 input and uses COM as reference, producing an 8-bit code proportional to supply voltage. With +4.096V internal reference, each LSB equals 15.625mV - enabling precise battery-level estimation without external resistive dividers or dedicated fuel-gauge ICs.
Is the MAX1109CUB+T pin-compatible with the MAX1108CUB+T?
No - although both share the same 10-pin µMAX package and pinout, the MAX1109CUB+T is specified for +4.5V to +5.5V operation and features a +4.096V internal reference, whereas the MAX1108CUB+T operates from +2.7V to +3.6V with +2.048V reference. Swapping them requires verifying supply rail compatibility and recalibrating reference-dependent measurements.
