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 - deployed in precision weigh scales and panel meters requiring high-resolution analog sensing without external calibration components.
For engineers reviewing the MAX110ACPE datasheet, MAX110ACPE pinout, MAX110ACPE application, or MAX110ACPE equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions for DIP-16 package, real-world accuracy specs (±0.03% INL, ±4mV offset), and two validated alternative ADCs for ±14-bit differential measurement systems.
Technical Context
The MAX110ACPE implements a first-order sigma-delta architecture with integrated voltage-to-current converter, integrator, comparator, and 1-bit DAC to produce 16-bit serial output (14 data + sign + overrange). It uses oversampling clock division (÷1/÷2/÷4) and supports both external TTL/CMOS clocks and internal RC oscillator via RCSEL control.
Conversion is initiated by CS rising edge with NO-OP = 1, outputs twos-complement data on DOUT synchronized to SCLK falling edge, and asserts BUSY low during conversion. Internal auto-calibration corrects offset and gain errors under µP control, eliminating need for external trims or reference buffers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | ±14-bit + sign + overrange (16-bit serial output); enables detection of sub-millivolt differential signals within ±3V input range |
| INL (Relative Accuracy) | ±0.03% FSR (max); ensures ≤±2 LSB error across full ±3V input span after calibration |
| Supply Current | 550µA active, 4µA power-down; supports battery-powered remote sensors with multi-year runtime |
| Input Range | Differential ±3V (with ±5V supplies); maps to ±VREF where VREF+ = +1.5V, VREF− = −1.5V |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 50 conversions/sec (204.8ms @ 81,920 clocks/conv); suitable for slow-varying industrial process signals |
| Power Supply Rejection | 30ppm/V; maintains accuracy despite ±5% VDD/VSS variation in noisy plant environments |
| 50/60Hz Rejection | Integrated digital filtering rejects line-frequency interference without external notch filters |
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 spacing is 0.1 inch; lead finish is tin-lead. Package meets JEDEC MS-001 standard.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN1+ | Positive input of Channel 1 differential pair; accepts voltage up to VDD − 2.25V (2.75V @ VDD = +5V) |
| 2 | REF− | Negative reference terminal; sets lower bound of differential input range (e.g., −1.5V) |
| 3 | REF+ | Positive reference terminal; sets upper bound of differential input range (e.g., +1.5V) |
| 4 | VDD | +5V analog/digital supply; must be decoupled locally with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
| 5 | RCSEL | Selects clock source: tied to GND for external XCLK, tied to VDD for internal RC oscillator |
| 6 | XCLK | Oversampling clock input/output; connects to internal RC oscillator when RCSEL = VDD |
| 7 | SCLK | Serial interface clock input; DC–2MHz compatible; controls timing of DIN/DOUT data transfer |
| 8 | DIN | Serial control word input; loads 16-bit register to configure conversion mode, channel select, and power-down |
| 9 | DOUT | Serial data output; tri-state when CS high; outputs 16-bit result (POL/OFL/D13–D0) MSB-first |
| 10 | BUSY | Open-drain status signal; low during conversion, high when result ready for readout |
| 11 | CS | Chip-select input; active-low enable for serial interface; rising edge with NO-OP=1 starts conversion |
| 12 | IN1− | Negative input of Channel 1 differential pair; defines polarity: VIN− > VIN+ yields negative result |
| 13 | IN2+ | Positive input of Channel 2 differential pair; shares same reference and supply constraints as IN1+ |
| 14 | IN2− | Negative input of Channel 2 differential pair; enables true differential measurement on second channel |
| 15 | VSS | −5V analog supply; must be decoupled; absolute input limits referenced to VSS + 2.25V minimum |
| 16 | GND | Digital ground; separate AGND not used - MAX110ACPE uses single ground plane per DIP layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal auto-calibration | Performs µP-controlled offset and gain correction - eliminates manual trimming and external calibration circuitry |
| No external components required | Operates with only decoupling caps; no external op-amps, references, or filters needed for basic ±14-bit operation |
| 50Hz/60Hz rejection | On-chip digital filtering suppresses mains interference without software or external hardware intervention |
| Low-power shutdown | Reduces current to 4µA - enables wake-on-CS or periodic sampling in energy-constrained remote nodes |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS114S08BIPBSR | 24-bit delta-sigma, single-supply (+3.3V), integrated PGA and burnout current; no internal oscillator | Requires external clock and reference; better suited for ultra-low-noise sensor front-ends with programmable gain | Choose when higher resolution (>16-bit) and integrated PGA are needed; avoid if ±5V dual supply and minimal external parts are mandatory |
| AD7730BRUZ | 24-bit sigma-delta, ±5V supply, 0.003% INL, integrated excitation current sources, but 20-pin TSSOP package | Includes matched current sources for ratiometric bridge sensing; lacks built-in 50/60Hz rejection | Prefer for load-cell applications needing excitation currents; not drop-in due to pinout and timing differences |
Compared with MAX110ACPE, ADS114S08BIPBSR offers higher resolution and integrated signal conditioning but demands more external components and lacks auto-calibration simplicity; AD7730BRUZ provides superior INL and excitation capability but requires PCB redesign for 20-pin TSSOP and external notch filtering.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential input voltage range supported by the MAX110ACPE?
The MAX110ACPE supports a differential input voltage range of ±3V when operated with ±5V supplies and VREF = 3V (VREF+ = +1.5V, VREF− = −1.5V). Within this range, full ±14-bit performance is guaranteed; accuracy degrades beyond ±2.5V per Electrical Characteristics table. Absolute pin voltage must stay between VSS + 2.25V and VDD − 2.25V - i.e., −2.75V to +2.75V at nominal ±5V rails.
Does the MAX110ACPE require external calibration components?
No, the MAX110ACPE does not require external calibration components. Its internal auto-calibration circuitry performs both offset nulling and gain correction under microprocessor control using only the on-chip reference and logic. The MAX110ACPE achieves ±0.03% INL and ±4mV offset error without trim pots, laser-zapped resistors, or external DACs - a key differentiator versus older 14-bit ADCs.
How does the MAX110ACPE handle 50Hz and 60Hz power-line interference?
The MAX110ACPE incorporates on-chip digital filtering that provides inherent 50Hz and 60Hz rejection without external hardware. This is achieved through oversampling and averaging synchronized to integer multiples of line frequency - confirmed in Typical Operating Characteristics plots showing <0.01% residual error at both frequencies. No external notch filters or software averaging is required for compliance with IEC 61000-4-6 immunity levels.
What is the function of the BUSY pin on the MAX110ACPE?
The BUSY pin on the MAX110ACPE is an open-drain status output that goes low at the start of conversion and returns high when the 16-bit result is ready in the output shift register. It enables interrupt-driven or polling-based readout synchronization - critical for deterministic timing in µC-based data loggers. BUSY remains low for exactly tCONV (e.g., 204.8ms at default clock rate), and must not be driven externally.
Can the MAX110ACPE operate with a single +5V supply?
No, the MAX110ACPE requires dual ±5V supplies (VDD = +5V, VSS = −5V) and cannot operate from a single +5V rail. This is intrinsic to its differential input architecture and internal charge-pump-free design. For single-supply operation, the pin-compatible MAX111 series (e.g., MAX111ACPE) must be used - it accepts 0V to +1.5V single-ended or ±1.5V differential inputs with only +5V VDD.
