Product details
Overview
MAX110BCWE+ 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% linearity, 550µA active supply current, and 4µA shutdown current, enabling high-resolution measurement in battery-powered process control and panel meter systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX110BCWE+ datasheet, MAX110BCWE+ pinout, MAX110BCWE+ application, or MAX110BCWE+ equivalent, this device supports SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE serial interfaces, features auto-calibration for offset/gain correction, and requires no external components - critical for low-noise, space-constrained industrial sensing designs.
Technical Context
The MAX110BCWE+ implements a first-order sigma-delta modulator with integrated voltage-to-current converter, integrator, comparator, and 1-bit DAC to achieve 14-bit resolution plus sign and overrange bits. Its oversampling clock (fOSC) is programmable via internal RC oscillator or external source, with division-by-1/2/4 modes.
Conversion timing is controlled by CONV1–CONV4 bits, supporting up to 50 conversions/sec (204.8 ms @ 81,920 clocks/conv). Input signals are digitized in two's-complement format, with POL (sign), OFL (overrange), and 14 data bits shifted MSB-first on DOUT synchronized to SCLK falling edge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit + sign + overrange bit - delivers 32,768 distinct codes across ±VREF range with overflow detection |
| Linearity (INL) | ±0.03% FSR - ensures accurate representation of linear sensor outputs without post-processing correction |
| Supply Current | 550 µA (active), 4 µA (power-down) - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in remote sensors |
| Differential Input Range | –3 V to +3 V - matches industrial transducer outputs (e.g., 4–20 mA loop receivers with 250 Ω shunt) |
| Reference Input Range | VREF+ = 1.5 V, VREF– = –1.5 V (±3 V total) - sets full-scale span and defines LSB = 183 µV |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible - eliminates need for level-shifting or protocol translation in µC-based DAQ systems |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 50 conversions/sec - sufficient for slow-varying physical parameters (temperature, pressure, weight) |
Pinout & Package
MAX110BCWE+ is housed in a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) package with standard 0.3-inch body width and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin functions are electrically identical to the 16-pin DIP variant but optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1+, IN1– | Differential Channel 1 Inputs | Accepts bipolar analog signal; common-mode range limited to (VSS + 2.25 V) to (VDD – 2.25 V) |
| IN2+, IN2– | Differential Channel 2 Inputs | Second independent measurement path; shares same reference and conversion engine as IN1 |
| REF+, REF– | Differential Reference Inputs | Defines full-scale range; VREF = VREF+ – VREF– must be ≤3 V; internal biasing requires symmetric ±1.5 V |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for serial interface; rising edge triggers conversion if NO-OP = 1 in prior control word |
| SCLK | Serial Clock | TTL/CMOS-compatible input; controls data shift-in/out timing; DC to 2 MHz operation supported |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Loads 16-bit control word (NO-OP, CHS, CAL, PD, etc.) on SCLK rising edge |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | Outputs 16-bit result (POL/OFL/D13–D0) on SCLK falling edge; high-impedance when CS = high |
| BUSY | Conversion Status Flag | Active-low open-drain output; asserts low at conversion start, releases high upon completion |
| VDD, VSS | Power Supplies | +5 V and –5 V rails; absolute max ratings require VDD ≤ +6 V, VSS ≥ –6 V |
| RCSEL, XCLK | Oversampling Clock Control | RCSEL = VDD selects internal RC oscillator; RCSEL = GND enables external clock on XCLK |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-calibration under µP control | Enables real-time offset and gain correction without manual trim pots or factory calibration steps |
| No external components required | Eliminates external op-amps, filters, or reference buffers - reduces BOM count and PCB area by >30% |
| 50 Hz / 60 Hz rejection | Integrated digital filtering suppresses mains-borne noise in industrial environments without added software overhead |
| Two differential input channels | Allows simultaneous monitoring of dual sensors (e.g., load cell + temperature compensation) using single ADC |
| Low power shutdown mode | 4 µA quiescent current enables wake-on-event architectures where µC initiates conversion only when needed |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | Single-supply (2.0–5.5 V), 16-bit resolution, I²C interface, internal PGA (up to 16×), no auto-calibration | Requires external reference for best accuracy; better suited for low-voltage embedded systems than industrial ±5 V rails | Select when I²C bus availability and programmable gain outweigh need for bipolar supply and auto-calibration |
| AD7705BRUZ | ±2.5 V reference, 16-bit sigma-delta, SPI interface, 1 mW typical power, no internal oscillator | Requires external clock source; lower linearity (±0.003% FSR) but higher resolution; lacks overrange bit | Select when ultra-low drift and metrology-grade accuracy are prioritized over self-contained operation and overrange flag |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and AD7705BRUZ, the MAX110BCWE+ uniquely combines ±5 V dual-supply operation, integrated auto-calibration, and overrange detection - making it optimal for legacy industrial systems requiring minimal design change and guaranteed bipolar signal handling.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX110BCWE+?
The MAX110BCWE+ is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range aligns with its use in indoor industrial equipment, benchtop instruments, and non-extreme-environment data loggers. The 'B' grade denotes ±0.03% INL performance across this full range, verified per Maxim's production test flow.
Does the MAX110BCWE+ require external calibration components?
No, the MAX110BCWE+ does not require external calibration components. Its internal auto-calibration circuitry corrects both offset and gain errors under microprocessor control using only the device's own reference and analog inputs - eliminating trim pots, laser trimming, or external DACs required by many competing ADCs.
Can the MAX110BCWE+ interface directly with an Arduino or STM32 microcontroller?
Yes, the MAX110BCWE+ interfaces directly with Arduino and STM32 microcontrollers via its SPI-compatible serial interface. It accepts standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels on CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT, and operates with common SPI modes (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0). BUSY can be polled or used as an interrupt source to signal conversion completion.
What is the function of the OFL (overrange) bit in the MAX110BCWE+ output word?
The OFL bit in the MAX110BCWE+ output word indicates when the differential input voltage exceeds ±VREF. It is asserted before hard saturation occurs (typically at ±1.2 × VREF), allowing firmware to detect out-of-range conditions early and initiate corrective action - such as range switching or alarm generation - without losing measurement validity.
How does the MAX110BCWE+ achieve 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection?
The MAX110BCWE+ achieves 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection through inherent oversampling and digital filtering in its sigma-delta architecture. With 81,920 clock cycles per conversion and precise timing alignment, the modulator integrates noise over integer multiples of AC line periods, effectively canceling interference without requiring external notch filters or software averaging.
