Product details
Overview
MAX110AEWE+T from Maxim Integrated is a ±14-bit, 2-channel sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal auto-calibration, operating from ±5V supplies and delivering 0.03% linearity over -3V to +3V differential input range. It achieves up to 50 conversions/sec with 50Hz/60Hz rejection, consumes only 550µA active current and 4µA in power-down mode, and interfaces via SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface - ideal for high-resolution battery-powered process control and panel metering.
For engineers reviewing the MAX110AEWE+T datasheet, MAX110AEWE+T pinout, MAX110AEWE+T application, or MAX110AEWE+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in Maxim's official MAX110 family documentation and electrical specifications.
Technical Context
The MAX110AEWE+T implements a first-order sigma-delta architecture with integrated voltage-to-current converter, integrator, comparator, 1-bit DAC, and up/down counter. Its 16-bit serial output includes sign (POL), overrange (OFL), and 14 data bits in two's-complement format, with conversion time programmable via CONV1–CONV4 bits (10,240–102,400 clock cycles).
It supports dual oversampling clock sources: external TTL/CMOS clock applied to XCLK (RCSEL = GND) or internal RC oscillator (RCSEL = VDD), with selectable divide-by-1/2/4 clock divider. Reference inputs (REF+, REF−) accept ±1.5V to ±3V differential range, and absolute analog input voltage must stay within (VSS + 2.25V) to (VDD − 2.25V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | ±14-bit + sign + overrange bit (16-bit serial output); enables precise measurement of bipolar signals without external amplification. |
| Differential Input Range | −3V to +3V (with ±5V supplies and ±3V reference); supports full-scale industrial sensor outputs directly. |
| Linearity (INL) | ±0.03% FSR (typical); ensures accurate digitization across entire range, critical for weigh scale and precision instrumentation. |
| Supply Current | 550µA (active), 4µA (power-down); allows multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in remote sensing nodes. |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 50 conversions/sec (at minimum clock cycles); sufficient for slow-varying physical parameters like temperature or pressure. |
| Power-Supply Rejection | 30 ppm (typical); maintains accuracy despite ±5% supply variation - essential in unregulated industrial power rails. |
| 50/60Hz Rejection | Integrated digital filtering rejects mains interference without external notch filters or software averaging. |
Pinout & Package
MAX110AEWE+T is housed in a 16-pin wide SO (SOIC-W) package with 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, and rated for 0°C to +70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1+, IN1− | Differential Channel 1 Input | Accepts ±3V differential signal; polarity defines sign bit (IN1− > IN1+ → negative result). |
| IN2+, IN2− | Differential Channel 2 Input | Second independent analog input pair; selected via CHS bit in control register. |
| REF+, REF− | Differential Reference Inputs | Set full-scale range (e.g., ±1.5V or ±3V); accuracy directly impacts ADC gain error. |
| VDD, VSS | Positive/Negative Supply Rails | Require ±5V ±5%; VSS must be ≤ −4.75V for guaranteed performance per datasheet. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for serial interface; rising edge triggers conversion if NO-OP = 1. |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible; DC to 2MHz; controls timing of DIN/DOUT data transfer. |
| DIN, DOUT | Serial Data In/Out | Full-duplex 16-bit shift register; DOUT is high-impedance when CS is high. |
| BUSY | Conversion Status Output | Active-low open-drain signal; indicates conversion in progress; used for interrupt-driven readout. |
| RCSEL, XCLK | Oversampling Clock Control | RCSEL selects internal RC oscillator (VDD) or external clock (GND); XCLK is input/output depending on mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Auto-Calibration | Performs offset and gain correction under µP control - eliminates need for manual trim pots or factory calibration steps. |
| No External Components Required | Integrates precision voltage-to-current converter, integrator, comparator, and DAC - reduces BOM count and PCB area by ≥4 passive components. |
| 50Hz/60Hz Rejection | Hardware-based digital filtering synchronized to conversion timing - removes mains noise without firmware overhead or extra sampling. |
| Two Differential Input Channels | Hardware-multiplexed dual inputs (IN1±/IN2±) with single control-bit selection - enables compact dual-sensor systems without external MUX. |
| Low-Power Power-Down Mode | 4µA shutdown current with full state retention - supports wake-on-external-trigger architectures in energy-constrained IoT nodes. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IRUGR | Single-supply (2.0–5.5V), I²C interface, no internal oscillator; 16-bit resolution but ±15ppm/°C gain drift vs. MAX110AEWE+T's ±8ppm/°C. | Requires external reference and level-shifting for ±5V systems; better suited for low-voltage embedded MCU designs than industrial ±5V rails. | Select ADS1115IRUGR only when I²C bus availability and ultra-low supply voltage (<3.3V) are mandatory constraints. |
| AD7714BRUZ | 24-bit sigma-delta, ±5V supply, SPI interface, but 1.25mA active current and no 4µA shutdown mode. | Higher resolution trades off power efficiency; lacks integrated 50/60Hz rejection - requires external digital filtering or oversampling. | Choose AD7714BRUZ only when 24-bit resolution is required and system power budget permits 3× higher active current. |
Compared with ADS1115IRUGR and AD7714BRUZ, the MAX110AEWE+T uniquely balances ±14-bit precision, ±5V dual-rail compatibility, 4µA shutdown, and hardware 50/60Hz rejection - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-operated, or industrial analog front-ends where power, noise immunity, and supply simplicity are co-primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential input voltage range supported by the MAX110AEWE+T?
The MAX110AEWE+T supports a differential input voltage range of −3V to +3V when operated with ±5V supplies and a ±3V reference (VREF+ = +3V, VREF− = −3V). This range is defined by the absolute input voltage limits of (VSS + 2.25V) to (VDD − 2.25V), and the device maintains ±0.03% linearity across this span. Exceeding ±3V risks overrange flag assertion and non-monotonic behavior.
Does the MAX110AEWE+T require external calibration components?
No, the MAX110AEWE+T does not require external calibration components. It features internal auto-calibration circuitry that corrects both offset and gain errors under microprocessor control, as confirmed in the datasheet's General Description and Electrical Characteristics sections. This eliminates the need for trim pots, laser trimming, or external reference buffers in standard implementations.
Can the MAX110AEWE+T operate with a single +5V supply?
No, the MAX110AEWE+T requires dual ±5V supplies (VDD = +5V, VSS = −5V) and is not compatible with single-supply operation. The MAX111 variant is the single +5V counterpart. Attempting to power the MAX110AEWE+T from only +5V and ground will violate absolute maximum ratings and prevent proper analog input range or internal biasing.
What is the function of the BUSY pin on the MAX110AEWE+T?
The BUSY pin on the MAX110AEWE+T is an active-low, open-drain output that goes low at the start of conversion and returns high upon completion. It provides hardware synchronization for interrupt-driven readout, eliminating polling overhead. The pin remains low during the full conversion cycle - duration depends on programmed CONV bits and oversampling clock frequency.
How does the MAX110AEWE+T achieve 50Hz/60Hz rejection without external filters?
The MAX110AEWE+T achieves 50Hz/60Hz rejection through synchronized digital filtering inherent to its sigma-delta architecture and oversampling clock configuration. When the conversion time is set to integer multiples of the AC line period (e.g., 100ms or 83.3ms), the modulator's noise shaping and decimation inherently attenuate these frequencies - a feature explicitly documented in the datasheet's Features and Electrical Characteristics tables.
