Product details
Overview
MAX110ACPE+ from Maxim Integrated is a ±14-bit, 2-channel differential serial ADC with internal auto-calibration, operating from ±5V supplies and delivering 0.03% INL, 550µA supply current, and 50Hz/60Hz rejection - designed for high-accuracy remote sensing and panel meter applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX110ACPE+ datasheet, MAX110ACPE+ pinout, MAX110ACPE+ application, or MAX110ACPE+ equivalent, this device supports SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interfaces, offers ±3V differential input range, and enables battery-powered data acquisition with 4µA power-down current and no external components required.
Technical Context
The MAX110ACPE+ implements a first-order sigma-delta architecture with integrated voltage-to-current converter, integrator, comparator, and 1-bit DAC to achieve ±14-bit resolution plus sign and overrange bits in twos-complement format. It uses an oversampling clock (fOSC) divided by 1/2/4 to control conversion time and noise attenuation.
Calibration is performed under µP control via dedicated control register bits (CAL, NUL), correcting both offset and gain errors. The device supports two differential analog inputs (IN1±, IN2±), programmable conversion timing (10,240–102,400 clocks/conv), and dual-clock modes: external TTL/CMOS XCLK or internal RC oscillator (RCSEL-controlled).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | ±14-bit + sign + overrange (16-bit serial output); ensures 16,384 distinct codes across ±VREF with overflow detection. |
| INL (Relative Accuracy) | ±0.03% FSR (max); guarantees monotonicity and <1 LSB error within ±2.5V input range for precision measurement. |
| Supply Current | 550µA typical (active), 4µA (power-down); enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable instrumentation. |
| Differential Input Range | ±3V (with ±5V supplies and VREF = ±1.5V); supports industrial sensor outputs without external signal conditioning. |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 50 conversions/sec (at minimum 10,240 clocks/conv); balances speed and noise rejection for low-frequency process signals. |
| Power-Supply Rejection | 30 ppm/V (typical); maintains accuracy despite ±5% VDD/VSS variation in unregulated supply environments. |
| 50Hz/60Hz Rejection | Integrated digital filtering rejects line-frequency interference without external notch filters or software averaging. |
Pinout & Package
MAX110ACPE+ is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked with a dot or bevel; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise layout from top-left corner when viewed from component side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN1+) | Differential analog input channel 1 positive | Accepts signal up to VDD − 2.25V; used with IN1− for true differential measurement of ±3V-range sensors. |
| 2 (REF−) | Negative reference input | Defines lower bound of reference voltage (VREF = REF+ − REF−); must be ≤ VSS + 2.25V for valid operation. |
| 3 (REF+) | Positive reference input | Defines upper bound of reference voltage; sets full-scale range (e.g., REF+ = +1.5V, REF− = −1.5V → VREF = 3V). |
| 4 (VDD) | Positive supply rail | +5V ±5% input; powers analog core and digital interface; decoupling capacitor required at pin. |
| 5 (RCSEL) | Oscillator mode select | High = enable internal RC oscillator; low = accept external clock on XCLK; determines clock source autonomy. |
| 6 (XCLK) | Oversampling clock I/O | Input for external clock (RCSEL = GND) or output of internal RC oscillator (RCSEL = VDD); drives sigma-delta loop timing. |
| 7 (SCLK) | Serial interface clock | TTL/CMOS-compatible input controlling DIN/DOUT bit transfer; supports DC–2MHz; rising edge clocks DIN, falling edge clocks DOUT. |
| 8 (DIN) | Serial data input | Loads 16-bit control word (NO-OP, CONVx, CAL, PD, etc.) to configure conversion mode, calibration, and power state. |
| 9 (DOUT) | Serial data output | 3-state output shifting 16-bit result (POL, OFL, D13–D0) MSB-first; high-impedance when CS is high. |
| 10 (BUSY) | Conversion status flag | Active-low open-drain output signaling conversion progress; used for interrupt-driven µP synchronization. |
| 11 (IN1−) | Differential analog input channel 1 negative | Completes differential pair with IN1+; common-mode voltage must stay within VSS + 2.25V to VDD − 2.25V. |
| 12 (IN2+) | Differential analog input channel 2 positive | Second independent differential input; shares same reference and timing resources as IN1±. |
| 13 (IN2−) | Differential analog input channel 2 negative | Completes second differential pair; enables dual-sensor monitoring (e.g., load cell + temperature sensor). |
| 14 (VSS) | Negative supply rail | −5V ±5% input; powers analog section; requires separate low-noise ground path from digital ground. |
| 15 (GND) | Digital ground | Reference for digital I/O (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT, BUSY); must be connected to system DGND with minimal impedance. |
| 16 (CS) | Chip-select input | Active-low enable for serial interface; initiates control-word write or data read; rising edge triggers conversion if NO-OP = 1. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit differential ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | Single-supply (2.0–5.5V), I²C interface, onboard PGA (1–16×), 860SPS max, no internal oscillator - requires external clock or µP timing. | Better suited for low-voltage embedded systems with I²C buses; lacks ±5V dual-supply tolerance and hardware 50/60Hz rejection. | Select when system uses I²C, needs programmable gain, and operates below 3.3V - not drop-in for ±5V industrial designs. |
| AD7705BRUZ | ±2.5V reference fixed, 16-bit sigma-delta, SPI interface, 10Hz–500Hz output rate, 1mW typical power - no overrange bit or sign extension. | Optimized for ultra-low-noise weigh scale applications; lacks second differential channel and programmable conversion timing. | Prefer for high-precision single-channel measurements where 16-bit resolution without sign bit suffices and 50Hz rejection is handled externally. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and AD7705BRUZ, the MAX110ACPE+ uniquely combines ±5V dual-supply operation, hardware 50/60Hz rejection, dual differential inputs, and self-contained RC oscillator - making it optimal for legacy industrial instrumentation requiring minimal µP intervention and robust EMI immunity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX110ACPE+?
The MAX110ACPE+ is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, as indicated by the 'C' grade suffix in its ordering code. This range covers commercial and light-industrial environments where airflow and enclosure design maintain moderate thermal conditions. The device meets all electrical specifications across this full range, including ±0.03% INL and 550µA supply current. For extended temperature applications, consider the MAX110BCPE+ (−40°C to +85°C) variant.
Does MAX110ACPE+ require external calibration components?
No, the MAX110ACPE+ requires no external calibration components. Its internal auto-calibration circuitry corrects both offset and gain errors under microprocessor control using dedicated CAL and NUL bits in the control register. This eliminates the need for trimming potentiometers, laser-trimmed resistors, or external reference buffers - reducing BOM cost and board space while enabling field recalibration during maintenance cycles.
How does the power-down mode function in MAX110ACPE+?
The MAX110ACPE+ enters 4µA power-down mode when both PD (bit 0) and PDX (bit 1) in the control register are set high, or when PD = 1 and RCSEL = low. This disables the analog core and internal RC oscillator. To resume operation, a "dummy" control word (NO-OP = 0) must be written first to reset the state machine, followed by a normal conversion command (NO-OP = 1). This sequence prevents BUSY lockup after oscillator stop.
Can MAX110ACPE+ interface directly with an Arduino or STM32 MCU?
Yes, the MAX110ACPE+ supports SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols with standard timing (CPHA = 0, CPOL = 0), making it compatible with Arduino (using SPI library) and STM32 (via hardware SPI peripheral). Key connections include CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT, and BUSY (for interrupt-driven reads). No level-shifting is needed for 5V-tolerant MCUs; for 3.3V MCUs, verify logic thresholds using VIH/VIL specs from the datasheet.
What is the maximum differential input voltage range supported by MAX110ACPE+?
The MAX110ACPE+ supports a ±3V differential input range when operated with ±5V supplies and VREF = ±1.5V (i.e., REF+ = +1.5V, REF− = −1.5V). Within this range, full 14-bit performance is guaranteed; improved linearity (±0.03% INL) applies to the ±2.5V sub-range. Absolute input pin voltages must remain between VSS + 2.25V and VDD − 2.25V - i.e., −2.75V to +2.75V for ±5V supplies.
