Product details
Overview
MAX11117AUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a 10-bit, 3Msps successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with dual single-ended analog inputs, 2.2V–3.6V supply operation, and SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface. It features 73dB SNR, 1.3µA power-down current, and operates across –40°C to +125°C - optimized for portable data logging and battery-powered medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11117AUT+T datasheet, MAX11117AUT+T pinout, MAX11117AUT+T application, or MAX11117AUT+T equivalent, this device delivers high-speed, low-power conversion in a compact 10-pin TDFN package with external reference support, fast wake-up, and direct interfacing to 1.5V–3.6V digital systems without level-shifting logic.
Technical Context
The MAX11117AUT+T implements a SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting up to 3Msps throughput at 10-bit resolution. Its dual-channel MUX enables time-multiplexed sampling of two independent analog signals, while the dedicated REF input accepts an external voltage (1V to VDD + 0.05V) for precision scaling.
It uses a 3-wire serial interface (CS, SCLK, DOUT) with no pipeline delay, compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE controllers. The device supports variable I/O voltage (1.5V–3.6V) on the OVDD pin, enabling direct connection to mixed-voltage digital subsystems without external translation circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - provides 1024 discrete output codes for medium-precision sensor digitization and control-loop feedback. |
| Conversion Rate | 3Msps - enables real-time acquisition of signals up to 1.5MHz Nyquist bandwidth (e.g., audio band, motor phase currents). |
| SNR | 73dB typical - ensures ≥9 effective bits (ENOB ≈ 9.2) at 500kHz input, critical for dynamic signal fidelity in medical front-ends. |
| Power Consumption | 5.2mW at 3Msps - translates to 1.73µW per sample, minimizing thermal load and extending battery life in portable systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.2V–3.6V - supports direct integration with Li-ion (3.0–3.6V) and coin-cell (2.2–3.0V) power rails without regulators. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive sensors, industrial PLC modules, and outdoor environmental monitors. |
| Reference Input | External REF pin (1V to VDD + 0.05V) - allows use of precision low-drift references (e.g., MAX6126) for <±0.5% total unadjusted error. |
Pinout & Package
MAX11117AUT+T is housed in a 10-pin, 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's MAX11117 datasheet (Rev 8, July 2013).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN1 / AIN2 | Analog input channels | Dual single-ended inputs multiplexed into SAR core; each accepts 0V to VREF range - supports differential-sensing via external resistor network. |
| REF | External reference voltage input | Accepts precision reference (1V–VDD+0.05V); enables ratiometric or absolute measurement modes - not present in single-channel variants. |
| VDD | Analog power supply | 2.2V–3.6V analog rail; powers internal sample-and-hold and ADC core - must be filtered with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| OVDD | Digital I/O supply | 1.5V–3.6V logic interface supply - decouples digital noise from analog section and sets VIH/VIL thresholds. |
| AGND / DGND | Analog and digital ground | Separate pins require star grounding at single point near exposed pad to minimize ground bounce and crosstalk. |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low frame sync; falling edge initiates conversion and defines timing window for SCLK/DOUT - supports daisy-chaining. |
| SCLK | Serial clock | Up to 48MHz clock; controls bit transfer timing - duty cycle 40–60% required for reliable sampling of DOUT. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | 3-wire mode only; outputs MSB-first 10-bit result after CS assertion - high-impedance when CS high or during power-down. |
| CHSEL | Channel select | Controls MUX to choose AIN1 or AIN2; logic high selects AIN2 - enables synchronized dual-channel sampling in external firmware. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to AGND; must be soldered to PCB thermal plane for junction temperature control below 150°C. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | True SAR architecture delivers deterministic latency (260ns conversion + 4ns aperture delay), essential for closed-loop control timing predictability. |
| Variable I/O voltage (1.5V–3.6V) | OVDD pin allows direct interface to 1.8V FPGA I/O banks or 3.3V microcontroller SPI peripherals without level shifters - reduces BOM count. |
| Low-noise 73dB SNR | Optimized track/hold and layout-insensitive design achieves >9 ENOB at 500kHz - suitable for ECG front-ends and vibration monitoring. |
| 1.3µA power-down current | Enables ultra-low-quiescent operation between samples; ideal for duty-cycled sensor nodes where average current must stay <10µA. |
| External reference input | REF pin supports precision references (e.g., MAX6126AASA+) for <±0.1% gain drift over temperature - critical for calibrated measurement systems. |
| –40°C to +125°C operation | Qualified across full automotive and industrial temperature range; parametric specs guaranteed - eliminates derating calculations for harsh environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX11110AUT+T | Same 10-bit, 2Msps speed; lower power (3.7mW); no external REF pin - internal reference only. | Best for cost-sensitive, single-reference designs where 2Msps suffices and external reference isn't required. | Select MAX11110AUT+T when system-level accuracy is dominated by sensor tolerance, not reference stability. |
| ADS7953IRHBT | Texas Instruments 12-bit, 1MSPS SAR ADC; 16-channel MUX; SPI interface; 2.7–5.25V supply. | Higher resolution and channel count, but slower and higher power (12mW); requires external reference for full accuracy. | Choose ADS7953IRHBT for multi-sensor industrial I/O modules needing >10-bit resolution and channel flexibility. |
Compared with MAX11117AUT+T, MAX11110AUT+T trades speed and external reference capability for lower power and cost, while ADS7953IRHBT offers higher resolution and channel density at the expense of throughput and quiescent current - making MAX11117AUT+T optimal for 3Msps dual-channel, low-power, reference-flexible designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum serial clock frequency supported by MAX11117AUT+T?
The MAX11117AUT+T supports up to 48MHz SCLK in 3Msps mode, with 40–60% duty cycle required. At this rate, it completes a 10-bit conversion in 260ns, including acquisition and conversion time. This timing is validated across –40°C to +125°C and ensures reliable DOUT sampling when t4 ≤ 15ns (VOVDD ≥ 2.2V). Exceeding 48MHz may cause setup/hold violations.
Does MAX11117AUT+T require an external reference voltage?
Yes, MAX11117AUT+T requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin, which sets the full-scale input range (0V to VREF). Unlike single-channel variants (e.g., MAX11115), the MAX11117AUT+T lacks internal reference generation - enabling precision applications using low-drift references like the MAX6126AASA+.
Can MAX11117AUT+T interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller SPI port?
Yes, MAX11117AUT+T can interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller SPI port by connecting OVDD to 1.8V. Its digital inputs accept VIH = 0.75 × OVDD (≥1.35V) and VIL = 0.25 × OVDD (≤0.45V), and DOUT drives VOH ≥ 1.53V and VOL ≤ 0.27V - fully compliant with 1.8V logic thresholds without level shifters.
What is the power-down current of MAX11117AUT+T, and how is it activated?
The MAX11117AUT+T draws 1.3µA typical in power-down mode, activated by holding CS high for >100ns after the last SCLK edge. During power-down, the internal reference buffer and sample-and-hold are disabled, and DOUT enters high-impedance state. Wake-up time is one conversion cycle (≤260ns), enabling rapid resumption of sampling.
How does the CHSEL pin function in MAX11117AUT+T?
The CHSEL pin selects between AIN1 (CHSEL = low) and AIN2 (CHSEL = high) for conversion. It operates synchronously with CS: the selected channel is sampled on the CS falling edge. This allows firmware-controlled dual-channel acquisition without reconfiguring the MUX mid-sequence - critical for phase-aligned measurements in motor control or sensor fusion.
