Product details
Overview
MAX1110EPP+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-bit, 8-channel successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated track/hold, 2.048V internal reference, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire serial interface, and software-configurable unipolar/bipolar and 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 MAX1110EPP+ datasheet, MAX1110EPP+ pinout, MAX1110EPP+ application, or MAX1110EPP+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented differences, and supply support tailored for embedded OEMs and industrial sensor systems.
Technical Context
The MAX1110EPP+ implements a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with an on-chip track/hold circuit that acquires signals in ≤1µs and supports up to 50ksps sampling using either its internal 400kHz clock or an external serial clock (50kHz–500kHz). Its analog front-end allows software-selectable 8-channel single-ended or 4-channel differential inputs via an 8-bit control byte, with COM pin defining zero-scale reference.
Conversion results are output MSB-first on DOUT synchronized to SCLK falling edges; SSTRB provides end-of-conversion strobe-low-active in internal clock mode, pulse-high in external clock mode. The device supports automatic power-down (2µA software-triggered, 6µA at 1ksps) and hardware shutdown via SHDN pin, with full wake-up in 12ms (internal reference) or 20µs (external reference).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit SAR ADC with no missing codes over temperature - ensures monotonicity and deterministic code transitions in closed-loop control. |
| Sampling Rate | Up to 50ksps with internal clock or external clock - enables real-time monitoring of fast transients in battery-powered diagnostics. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1 LSB (max), ±0.3 LSB (typ) - guarantees accuracy without factory calibration for cost-sensitive portable instrumentation. |
| Supply Current | 85µA at 50ksps; drops to 6µA in power-down at 1ksps - extends battery life in solar-powered remote sensors beyond 5 years. |
| Reference Voltage | Internal 2.048V ±0.5% (REFOUT), or external 1V–VDD - eliminates need for external precision reference in space-constrained designs. |
| Input Configuration | 8 single-ended or 4 pseudo-differential channels (software-selectable via control byte) - supports flexible signal routing without external multiplexers. |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT) with SSTRB strobe - simplifies integration with ARM Cortex-M and legacy 8-bit microcontrollers. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1110EPP+ is housed in a 20-pin SSOP package (body size 7.2mm × 5.3mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in handheld instruments.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 5–8 | Analog Input Channels CH0–CH7 | Software-mapped single-ended inputs or differential pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, etc.) - enables simultaneous multi-sensor acquisition with shared COM reference. |
| 9 | COM | Common-mode reference for single-ended mode; sets zero-code voltage - must be stable to ±0.5 LSB, typically tied to AGND or VREFIN/2 for bipolar operation. |
| 10 | SHDN | Three-level shutdown control: high-Z = active, DGND = 10µA power-down, VDD = reference disabled - allows dynamic power gating without external logic. |
| 11 | REFIN | Analog reference input - connect to REFOUT for internal 2.048V reference or to external source (1V–VDD) for custom full-scale range. |
| 12 | REFOUT | 2.048V reference output - requires 1µF bypass capacitor to AGND for stability and noise rejection during conversion. |
| 13 | AGND | Analog ground - separate from DGND to minimize digital switching noise coupling into sensitive analog front-end. |
| 14 | DGND | Digital ground - return path for CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT, and SSTRB; must be connected to AGND at single point near device. |
| 15 | DOUT | Serial data output - three-state, MSB-first, clocked on SCLK falling edge; high-impedance when CS is high. |
| 16 | SSTRB | Serial strobe output - indicates end-of-conversion: low-active in internal clock mode, two-cycle pulse in external clock mode - drives interrupt lines directly. |
| 17 | DIN | Serial data input - accepts control byte (8 bits) on SCLK rising edge; tolerant to 5.5V inputs regardless of VDD. |
| 18 | CS | Active-low chip select - enables serial interface and controls DOUT/SSTRB output state; voltage-tolerant up to 5.5V. |
| 19 | SCLK | Serial clock input - clocks data in/out and governs conversion speed in external clock mode; 5.5V-tolerant, 45–55% duty cycle required. |
| 20 | VDD | Positive supply - powers analog and digital sections from 2.7V to 5.5V; PSR of ±4mV ensures immunity to supply ripple in noisy environments. |

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-only interface; no internal reference; requires external 2.5V ref; 1.25mW typical power at 50ksps. | Lacks bipolar mode and software-configurable differential inputs; limited to single-ended sensing with external reference dependency. | Select when board space permits external reference and system uses only 4 channels - lower cost but higher design overhead. |
| MAX1113EUA+ | 8-bit, 4-channel, same family; 16-pin µMAX package; identical internal reference and power-down; no CH4–CH7 pins. | Halves channel count and removes 4 extra analog inputs - suitable for compact designs where 4 channels suffice. | Choose for footprint reduction and identical performance where full 8-channel capability is unnecessary - drop-in replacement for CH0–CH3 use cases. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1113EUA+, the MAX1110EPP+ uniquely delivers 8 software-configurable channels with integrated 2.048V reference and bipolar support in a single SSOP package - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated systems requiring maximum channel density and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX1110EPP+ and how is it achieved?
The MAX1110EPP+ achieves a maximum sampling rate of 50ksps using its internal 400kHz clock or an external serial clock up to 500kHz. In external clock mode, conversion timing is governed by the SCLK frequency and control byte format; in internal clock mode, the device self-times conversions and allows flexible readout timing. This dual-clock architecture ensures reliable operation across diverse microcontroller platforms without tight timing constraints on the host processor.
Does the MAX1110EPP+ support bipolar input measurements, and if so, how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX1110EPP+ supports bipolar input measurements through software configuration of the UNI/BIP bit (bit 3) in the 8-bit control byte. When UNI/BIP = 0 and SGL/DIF = 0, the device operates in bipolar differential mode with a full-scale range of ±VREFIN/2. COM must be set to VREFIN/2 (e.g., 1.024V when using internal reference) to establish the correct common-mode voltage - enabling accurate AC-coupled signal acquisition such as audio or ECG waveforms.
How does the power-down mode function on the MAX1110EPP+, and what are its current savings?
The MAX1110EPP+ offers two power-down methods: software-triggered (PD1/PD0 bits in control byte) and hardware-controlled (SHDN pin). Software power-down reduces supply current to 2µA; at 1ksps sampling, current drops to 6µA. Pulling SHDN to DGND cuts current to ≤10µA. These modes preserve register state and allow sub-millisecond wake-up - critical for duty-cycled sensor nodes where the MAX1110EPP+ spends >99% of time in low-power states while maintaining responsiveness.
Can the MAX1110EPP+ interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller SPI peripheral, and what voltage tolerances apply?
Yes, the MAX1110EPP+ interfaces directly with 3.3V microcontrollers: its CS, SCLK, and DIN inputs tolerate voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VDD, allowing seamless connection to both 3.3V and 5V logic families. DOUT and SSTRB are CMOS-compatible with VDD-referenced output levels, and the device operates down to 2.7V - ensuring reliable communication without level shifters in mixed-voltage systems where the MAX1110EPP+ serves as the analog bridge.
What is the role of the COM pin on the MAX1110EPP+, and how should it be connected in different input modes?
The COM pin on the MAX1110EPP+ serves as the zero-scale reference for single-ended inputs and the common-mode point for differential measurements. In unipolar single-ended mode, COM is tied to AGND; in bipolar mode, it is set to VREFIN/2 (e.g., 1.024V) using a resistor divider or buffer. For differential operation, COM remains at VREFIN/2 to center the input range - improper COM biasing causes gain/offset errors exceeding ±1 LSB, directly impacting the MAX1110EPP+'s specified accuracy.
