Product details
Overview
MAX1110CAP from Maxim Integrated is an 8-bit, 8-channel successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal track/hold, 2.048V reference, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, and software-configurable unipolar/bipolar, single-ended/differential input modes. It operates from a single 2.7V–5.5V supply, draws only 85µA at 50ksps, and targets portable data loggers and hand-held measurement devices requiring low power and multichannel sampling.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1110CAP datasheet, MAX1110CAP pinout, MAX1110CAP application, or MAX1110CAP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-channel single-ended input capability, 1µs acquisition time, ±1 LSB total unadjusted error, 50ksps max sampling rate with external clock, and SSOP-20 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX1110CAP implements a capacitive DAC-based successive-approximation architecture with integrated track/hold, supporting both internal (400kHz typ) and external (up to 2MHz) clock modes. Its analog front-end allows software-selectable input configurations via an 8-bit control byte, including channel selection (CH0–CH7), unipolar/bipolar mode, and single-ended/differential operation.
Conversion timing is tightly coupled to serial interface activity: in external clock mode, 10 SCLK cycles complete one conversion (including acquisition and SAR decision phases); in internal clock mode, SSTRB asserts for 25µs (typ) while conversion runs independently, enabling flexible host read timing without serial clock dependency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - delivers 256 discrete output codes for moderate-precision sensor digitization |
| Sampling Rate | Up to 50ksps with external clock - supports real-time monitoring of sub-25kHz signals |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1 LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and ≤0.4% full-scale accuracy without calibration |
| Supply Current | 85µA at 50ksps; 6µA in software power-down - enables multi-year battery life in solar-powered remote systems |
| Input Channels | 8 single-ended or 4 differential - provides flexible signal routing for multi-sensor industrial diagnostics |
| Reference | Internal 2.048V ±0.3% - eliminates external reference component and reduces BOM count |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire - interoperates with common microcontroller peripherals without protocol translation |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1110CAP is housed in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm pitch, optimized for compact PCB layouts in portable instrumentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH3 | Analog Input Channel | Primary single-ended inputs; configurable as positive side in differential pairs CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3 |
| CH4–CH7 | Analog Input Channel | Additional single-ended inputs; support differential pairs CH4/CH5, CH6/CH7 (MAX1110-specific) |
| COM | Analog Common Reference | Zero-code reference node; must be stable to ±0.5 LSB for accurate single-ended conversions |
| REFIN | Reference Voltage Input | Accepts internal REFOUT (2.048V) or external 1V–VDD reference; sets full-scale range |
| REFOUT | Internal Reference Output | Provides 2.048V reference; requires 1µF bypass capacitor to AGND for stability |
| VDD | Positive Supply | 2.7V–5.5V single supply; powers analog and digital sections |
| AGND / DGND | Analog/Digital Ground | Separate ground pins minimize noise coupling between ADC core and serial interface |
| CS | Active-Low Chip Select | Enables serial communication; places DOUT/SSTRB in high-impedance state when high |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Drives data transfer and (in external mode) controls conversion speed; tolerant to 5.5V |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Receives 8-bit control byte defining channel, mode, and clock configuration |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | Outputs 8-bit conversion result MSB-first on SCLK falling edge |
| SSTRB | Serial Strobe Output | Signals end-of-conversion: pulses high (external mode) or goes high after 25µs (internal mode) |
| SHDN | Three-Level Shutdown Control | High-impedance = active; low = 10µA shutdown; high = reference disabled |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input topology | Single-ended or differential mode selected per conversion via control byte bits SGL/DIF and UNI/BIP |
| Integrated reference and track/hold | Eliminates need for external op-amps, references, or sample-hold ICs in basic data-acquisition designs |
| Low-power automatic shutdown | Reduces supply current to 6µA at 1ksps via software command or SHDN pin assertion |
| 5.5V-tolerant digital I/O | CS, SCLK, and DIN accept 3V or 5V logic levels - simplifies interfacing with mixed-voltage microcontrollers |
| Flexible clocking architecture | Supports both host-controlled (external) and autonomous (internal) conversion timing to match system latency requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit, 4-channel, SPI interface, 200ksps max, no internal reference - requires external 2.5V reference | Higher speed but fewer channels; lacks software-configurable bipolar mode and integrated track/hold | Select when >50ksps sampling or tighter layout constraints justify added reference component |
| MAX1113CPE+ | 8-bit, 4-channel, 50ksps, internal reference, DIP-16 package - same family but fewer inputs and through-hole mounting | Same functional set but limited to 4 single-ended inputs; not pin-compatible due to different pin count and SSOP vs. DIP | Choose for legacy through-hole prototyping or where 4-channel suffices and board rework is acceptable |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1113CPE+, the MAX1110CAP uniquely combines 8-channel single-ended capability, integrated 2.048V reference, and SSOP-20 packaging - making it optimal for new space-constrained, battery-operated multichannel data loggers requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX1110CAP?
The MAX1110CAP achieves a maximum sampling rate of 50ksps when using an external serial clock at 500kHz with 10 clock cycles per conversion. In internal clock mode, the conversion time is fixed at 25µs (typ), yielding ~40ksps theoretical throughput, though host read timing determines effective rate. The 50ksps figure assumes continuous external clocking and accounts for acquisition and SAR decision phases as specified in the electrical characteristics table.
Does the MAX1110CAP require an external voltage reference?
No, the MAX1110CAP does not require an external voltage reference. It integrates a precision 2.048V internal reference (REFOUT) with ±0.3% initial accuracy and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. This reference can be used directly by connecting REFIN to REFOUT. An external reference between 1V and VDD may be applied to REFIN if higher accuracy or custom full-scale range is needed, but it is optional.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1110CAP support in single-ended mode?
The MAX1110CAP supports 8 analog input channels (CH0–CH7) in single-ended mode, as confirmed by the functional diagram, pin description, and ordering context specifying "MAX1110CAP/MAX1111CEE" where MAX1110 denotes the 8-channel variant. This is distinct from the MAX1111 (4-channel), and the SSOP-20 package physically accommodates all eight dedicated input pins plus COM.
What package type is used for the MAX1110CAP?
The MAX1110CAP is supplied in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm lead pitch, as explicitly stated in the General Description section and confirmed by the Pin Configurations reference in the datasheet. This surface-mount package measures 7.2mm × 5.3mm and is RoHS-compliant, designed for automated assembly in compact portable electronics.
Can the MAX1110CAP operate with a 3.3V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX1110CAP fully supports 3.3V operation. Its specified supply voltage range is 2.7V to 5.5V, and all key performance parameters-including 85µA supply current at 50ksps, ±1 LSB total unadjusted error, and 500kHz external clock compatibility-are guaranteed across this range. Electrical characteristics tables explicitly list test conditions for VDD = 2.7V to 3.6V and VDD = 5.5V, confirming robust 3.3V functionality.
