Product details
Overview
MAX110ACWE+T from Maxim Integrated is a ±14-bit, 2-channel sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating from ±5V supplies with differential input range of –3V to +3V. It delivers 0.03% INL, 550µA active supply current, and 4µA shutdown current, enabling high-resolution battery-powered data acquisition in panel meters and process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX110ACWE+T datasheet, MAX110ACWE+T pinout, MAX110ACWE+T application, or MAX110ACWE+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, calibrated performance parameters, serial interface timing constraints, and validated alternative options for industrial sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The MAX110ACWE+T implements a first-order sigma-delta modulator with internal voltage-to-current conversion, integrator, comparator, and 1-bit DAC feedback loop. Its 16-bit serial output includes sign (POL), overrange (OFL), and 14 data bits in two's-complement format.
It supports programmable conversion time via CONV1–CONV4 bits (10,240–102,400 clock cycles), oversampling clock division (÷1/÷2/÷4), and auto-calibration under µP control for offset and gain error correction. Reference inputs accept ±1.5V differential (VREF+ = 1.5V, VREF– = –1.5V) with 10pF input capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | ±14-bit + sign + overrange bit (16-bit serial output); enables 1:16,384 dynamic range for precision DC/low-frequency signals. |
| INL (Relative Accuracy) | ±0.03% FSR (typical, –VREF to +VREF); ensures <±2 LSB error across full input span for calibrated measurements. |
| Supply Current | 550µA (active, ±5V), 4µA (power-down); allows >1-year operation on coin-cell batteries in remote sensing nodes. |
| Differential Input Range | –3V to +3V (with ±5V supplies); matches industrial transducer outputs without external level-shifting. |
| Reference Input | ±1.5V differential (VREF+ = 1.5V, VREF– = –1.5V); sets full-scale range and enables 50Hz/60Hz rejection via oversampling. |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 50 conversions/sec (at minimum clock cycles); sufficient for slow-varying physical quantities (temperature, pressure, weight). |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible (SCLK up to 2MHz); eliminates need for parallel bus routing and reduces µC pin count. |
Pinout & Package
MAX110ACWE+T is housed in a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) package with 0.3" body width and standard gull-wing leads. Pin functions are electrically identical to the 16-pin DIP/SO variants in the MAX110 family.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1+, IN1– | Differential Channel 1 Inputs | Accept –3V to +3V differential analog signals; common-mode range constrained to (VSS + 2.25V) to (VDD – 2.25V). |
| IN2+, IN2– | Differential Channel 2 Inputs | Second independent 2-channel input pair; shares same reference and conversion engine as IN1. |
| REF+, REF– | Differential Reference Inputs | Set full-scale range (VREF = VREF+ – VREF–); must be ±1.5V for specified accuracy and 50/60Hz rejection. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for serial interface; rising edge triggers conversion if NO-OP = 1 in control word. |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible clock (DC–2MHz); controls data shift-in/out timing; falling edge clocks DOUT. |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Loads 16-bit control word (NO-OP, CONV bits, CAL, PD, etc.) on SCLK rising edge. |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | High-impedance when CS high; outputs 16-bit result (POL, OFL, D13–D0) MSB-first on SCLK falling edge. |
| BUSY | Conversion Status Output | Active-low open-drain signal; goes low at conversion start, returns high at completion. |
| VDD, VSS | Power Supplies | VDD = +5V ±5%, VSS = –5V ±5%; absolute max ratings: VDD to GND ≤ +6V, VSS to GND ≥ –6V. |
| RCSEL, XCLK | Oversampling Clock Control | RCSEL = VDD enables internal RC oscillator on XCLK; RCSEL = GND accepts external TTL/CMOS clock on XCLK. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-Calibration Mode | Offset and gain calibration executed under µP command-eliminates need for external trim pots or factory calibration steps. |
| No External Components Required | Full 14-bit performance achieved with only decoupling caps; no external op-amps, filters, or reference buffers needed. |
| 50Hz/60Hz Rejection | Integrated oversampling and digital filtering reject line-frequency interference without external notch filters. |
| Two Differential Input Channels | Independent IN1 and IN2 pairs share one ADC core-reduces BOM cost vs. dual standalone converters. |
| Low-Power Shutdown | 4µA quiescent current in power-down mode (PD = 1, PDX = 1)-enables wake-on-external-trigger architectures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IRUGT | Single-supply (2.0–5.5V), 16-bit resolution, I²C interface, internal 2.048V reference; no ±5V support. | Best for low-voltage embedded systems with I²C buses; unsuitable for bipolar ±3V input or ±5V rails. | Select ADS1115IRUGT when replacing legacy I²C-based designs or when supply voltage <4.5V. |
| MAX11200EEE+ | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC, ±5V supply capable, SPI interface, 1.8–5.25V logic, 330µA typical current. | Higher resolution for metrology-grade applications; larger 16-pin QSOP package; requires external reference for full spec. | Select MAX11200EEE+ when system demands <1ppm INL or needs enhanced noise immunity beyond 14-bit. |
Compared with MAX110ACWE+T, ADS1115IRUGT offers higher integration and I²C simplicity but lacks bipolar input support and ±5V operation; MAX11200EEE+ delivers superior resolution and lower noise at the cost of increased complexity and power budget.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX110ACWE+T?
The MAX110ACWE+T is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, as indicated by the 'C' grade suffix in its ordering code. This commercial-grade temperature range aligns with its use in indoor industrial equipment, panel meters, and non-extreme-environment data loggers. The device maintains specified INL, offset error, and conversion rate performance across this full range when powered from ±5V supplies and using the recommended ±1.5V reference configuration.
Does MAX110ACWE+T require external calibration components?
No, the MAX110ACWE+T does not require external calibration components. Its internal auto-calibration circuitry corrects both offset and gain errors under microprocessor control using only the on-chip reference and logic-no external trimpots, laser trimming, or calibration DACs are needed. This feature is explicitly confirmed in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics sections of the datasheet, and is a defining characteristic of the MAX110 family.
Can MAX110ACWE+T interface directly with an Arduino or STM32 MCU?
Yes, MAX110ACWE+T can interface directly with Arduino and STM32 MCUs via SPI. Its SCLK supports DC–2MHz, CS is active-low, and DOUT/DIN are standard CMOS-level signals compatible with 3.3V or 5V GPIO. BUSY provides ready signaling, and the control word structure (NO-OP, CONV bits) allows full configuration from firmware. No level-shifting or protocol translation is required for basic single-shot or continuous conversion modes.
What is the maximum differential input voltage the MAX110ACWE+T can safely handle?
The MAX110ACWE+T safely accepts differential input voltages from –3V to +3V when operated from ±5V supplies, as stated in the General Description and Absolute Maximum Ratings. However, the absolute voltage at any analog input pin (IN1+, IN1–, IN2+, IN2–) must remain within (VSS + 2.25V) to (VDD – 2.25V), i.e., –2.75V to +2.75V. Exceeding these limits risks latch-up or permanent damage, even if the differential voltage stays within ±3V.
How does the overrange bit (OFL) function in MAX110ACWE+T?
The overrange bit (OFL) in MAX110ACWE+T is set when the input voltage exceeds ±VREF (±1.5V). It appears as the second bit shifted out after the sign bit (POL) in the 16-bit serial output. OFL operates correctly only when VREF+ and VREF– remain within their specified absolute voltage ranges (VREF+ ≤ VDD – 0.5V, VREF– ≥ VSS + 0.5V); if reference voltages drift outside these bounds, OFL may misfire. The converter continues linear operation up to ~1.2× VREF before saturation.
