Product details
Overview
MAX110ACWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a ±14-bit, 2-channel serial analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating from dual ±5V supplies, delivering 0.03% INL, 550µA active supply current, and 50Hz/60Hz rejection for high-accuracy battery-powered measurement systems such as panel meters and weigh scales.
For engineers reviewing the MAX110ACWE+ datasheet, MAX110ACWE+ pinout, MAX110ACWE+ application, or MAX110ACWE+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, calibrated performance specs, SO-16 package details, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in the official MAX110/MAX111 datasheet Rev 5 (11/98).
Technical Context
The MAX110ACWE+ implements a first-order sigma-delta architecture with internal auto-calibration for offset and gain error correction under µP control. It accepts differential analog inputs from –3V to +3V using ±1.5V reference (VREF+ = +1.5V, VREF– = –1.5V), and outputs 16-bit serial data (sign bit + 14 data bits + overrange bit) in two's-complement format.
Its serial interface supports SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™ protocols via CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT pins. Conversion timing is programmable (10,240–102,400 clock cycles), with synchronous conversion time up to 204.8 ms at 500 kHz oversampling clock, and built-in 50/60 Hz notch rejection achieved through oversampling and digital filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | ±14-bit + sign + overrange (16-bit serial output); enables precise measurement of bipolar signals without external amplification |
| INL (Integral Nonlinearity) | ±0.03% FSR (max); ensures accurate end-point linearity across full input range for calibration-critical applications |
| Supply Current (Active) | 550 µA at ±5V; allows >1-year operation on coin-cell batteries in remote sensor nodes |
| Supply Current (Power-Down) | 4 µA; reduces system standby power by >99% while retaining configuration state |
| Differential Input Range | –3V to +3V (with ±1.5V reference); matches industrial transducer outputs without level-shifting circuitry |
| 50/60 Hz Rejection | Integrated digital filtering rejects mains interference without external notch filters or software averaging |
| Reference Input | Differential ±1.5V (VREF+ = +1.5V, VREF– = –1.5V); supports stable ratiometric or absolute measurements |
Pinout & Package
MAX110ACWE+ is housed in a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) package, 7.5 mm × 10.3 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad option not applicable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1+, IN1– | Differential Channel 1 Input | Accepts primary analog signal (e.g., load cell bridge output); common-mode range limited to VSS + 2.25V to VDD – 2.25V |
| IN2+, IN2– | Differential Channel 2 Input | Enables dual-sensor monitoring (e.g., temperature + pressure) with shared reference and timing |
| REF+, REF– | Differential Reference Inputs | Defines full-scale range (±VREF); must be driven by low-impedance source (≤10 pF capacitance) |
| VDD, VSS | Positive/Negative Supply Rails | Requires ±5V ±5%; VSS = –5V enables true bipolar input handling without level shifters |
| CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT | Serial Interface Control/Data | Full SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility; DOUT is 3-state; CS must remain high during conversion |
| BUSY | Conversion Status Output | Active-low open-drain signal; used to trigger µP interrupt or polling loop for deterministic timing |
| RCSEL, XCLK | Oversampling Clock Control | RCSEL selects internal RC oscillator (VDD) or external clock (GND); XCLK drives sigma-delta modulator at 0.25–1.25 MHz |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-Calibration Mode | On-command offset/gain correction eliminates need for factory-trimmed resistors or manual calibration routines |
| No External Components Required | Complete ADC function-including reference buffer, integrator, and DAC-integrated; reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Two Differential Input Channels | Hardware-multiplexed dual inputs enable time-synchronized sampling of two sensors without external MUX or timing skew |
| 50Hz/60Hz Rejection | Fixed digital filter suppresses AC line noise without firmware overhead or additional sampling cycles |
| Low-Power Power-Down Mode | 4 µA shutdown current with retention of register state allows rapid wake-up (<100 µs) for burst-mode sensing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit differential serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | Single-supply (+2.0V to +5.5V), 16-bit delta-sigma ADC; no dual-supply support; integrated PGA (up to 16×); I²C interface only | Suitable for low-voltage embedded systems but cannot replace MAX110ACWE+ in ±5V bipolar signal chains without level-shifting | Select when I²C bus availability and programmable gain outweigh need for dual-supply operation and SPI compatibility |
| AD7714BRUZ | 24-bit sigma-delta ADC; ±5V supply capable; SPI-compatible; higher power (1.2 mA active); includes on-chip reference and excitation current sources | Better resolution and integrated features for high-end weigh scales, but over-spec'd and costlier for 14-bit panel meter use | Select when 24-bit resolution, on-chip reference stability, or sensor excitation are required - not for cost-sensitive 14-bit applications |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and AD7714BRUZ, the MAX110ACWE+ uniquely balances ±14-bit accuracy, dual-supply operation, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE flexibility, and ultra-low 550 µA active current - making it optimal for legacy industrial designs requiring proven bipolar signal integrity without architectural redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX110ACWE+?
The MAX110ACWE+ is specified for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, as indicated by the 'C' grade suffix in its ordering code. This commercial-grade rating suits indoor instrumentation, lab equipment, and non-extreme industrial enclosures. The device's ±0.03% INL and 550 µA supply current are guaranteed across this full range per the MAX110/MAX111 datasheet Rev 5.
Does MAX110ACWE+ require external calibration components?
No, the MAX110ACWE+ does not require external calibration components. Its internal auto-calibration circuitry corrects both offset and gain errors under microprocessor control, eliminating the need for trim pots, laser-trimmed resistors, or external reference buffers. This is confirmed in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics sections of the official datasheet.
Can MAX110ACWE+ interface directly with an Arduino or STM32 MCU?
Yes, the MAX110ACWE+ supports standard SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols and is fully compatible with Arduino (via SPI library) and STM32 (via HAL_SPI or direct register access). Its 0–5V logic-level I/O, 2 MHz max SCLK, and BUSY pin for interrupt-driven reads simplify integration - no level shifting or protocol translation is needed for 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers.
What is the maximum differential input voltage range supported by MAX110ACWE+?
The MAX110ACWE+ supports a differential input voltage range of –3V to +3V when using the recommended ±1.5V reference (VREF+ = +1.5V, VREF– = –1.5V). Absolute pin voltages must stay within VSS + 2.25V to VDD – 2.25V (i.e., –2.75V to +2.75V at ±5V supplies), as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
How does the power-down mode work on MAX110ACWE+?
The MAX110ACWE+ enters 4 µA power-down mode when both PD (bit 0) and PDX (bit 1) in the control word are set high, or when PD = 1 and RCSEL = GND. In this state, analog circuitry and the RC oscillator are disabled, but register contents are retained. Wake-up is immediate upon exiting power-down, with BUSY signaling readiness - verified in the Power-Down Mode section of the datasheet.
