Product details
Overview
MAX1111CEE from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 8-bit, 4-channel single-ended or 2-channel differential analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal track/hold, 2.048V reference, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 2.7V–5.5V supply, draws only 85µA at 50ksps, and supports unipolar/bipolar input modes - ideal for portable data loggers and hand-held medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1111CEE datasheet, MAX1111CEE pinout, MAX1111CEE application, or MAX1111CEE equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, functional pin definitions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all tied explicitly to the MAX1111CEE QSOP-16 variant with 0°C to +70°C temperature range.
Technical Context
The MAX1111CEE implements successive-approximation (SAR) conversion with an integrated 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 accepts software-configurable unipolar (0V to VREFIN) or bipolar (±VREFIN/2) inputs via CH0–CH3 and COM, with full-scale range set by internal 2.048V reference or external 1V–VDD reference.
Digital control is handled through an 8-bit SPI-compatible serial interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT), where bit PD0 selects clock mode and bits SEL2–SEL0 select channel configuration. The SSTRB output provides end-of-conversion strobe timing - active-low in internal clock mode, pulse-high in external clock mode - enabling interrupt-driven microcontroller integration without polling.
Key Specifications

| Resolution | 8-bit SAR ADC with no missing codes over temperature |
| Sampling Rate | Up to 50ksps - enables real-time monitoring of sensor outputs in battery-powered systems |
| Supply Current | 85µA at 50ksps; drops to 6µA in software power-down mode at 1ksps |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1 LSB (max), ±0.3 LSB (typ) - ensures accurate digitization without factory calibration |

Pinout & Package
The MAX1111CEE is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm, 0.635mm pitch), specified for 0°C to +70°C operation and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 (CH0–CH3) | Analog Input Channels | Selectable as single-ended inputs referenced to COM, or as positive legs of pseudo-differential pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3) |
| 9 (COM) | Common-Mode Reference | Sets zero-code voltage in single-ended mode; must be stable to ±0.5 LSB; tied to AGND for unipolar operation |
| 10 (SHDN) | Three-Level Shutdown Control | High-impedance = normal operation; DGND = 10µA shutdown; VDD = internal reference disabled |
| 11 (REFIN) | Reference Input | Accepts internal REFOUT (2.048V) or external 1V–VDD reference; determines full-scale analog input range |
| 12 (REFOUT) | Internal Reference Output | 2.048V ±0.8ppm/°C; requires 1µF bypass capacitor to AGND for stability |
| 13 (AGND) | Analog Ground | Separate ground return for analog circuitry; must be isolated from DGND except at single point |
| 14 (DGND) | Digital Ground | Ground return for digital I/O; kept separate from AGND to minimize noise coupling into conversion path |
| 15 (DOUT) | Serial Data Output | MSB-first, clocked on SCLK falling edge; high-impedance when CS is high |
| 16 (SSTRB) | Serial Strobe Output | Signals end-of-conversion: active-low in internal clock mode; 2-cycle pulse before MSB in external clock mode |
| 17 (DIN) | Serial Data Input | Accepts 8-bit control byte (START, SEL2–SEL0, UNI/BIP, SGL/DIF, PD1, PD0); tolerant to 5.5V inputs |
| 18 (CS) | Active-Low Chip Select | Enables serial interface and DOUT drive; CS high places DOUT and SSTRB in high-impedance state |
| 19 (SCLK) | Serial Clock Input | Drives data transfer and (in external mode) conversion timing; 50kHz–500kHz range; 5.5V-tolerant |
| 20 (VDD) | Positive Supply | 2.7V–5.5V single supply; powers analog and digital sections; decoupling required near pin |

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; 2.7V–5.25V supply; 1.25mW @ 50ksps vs. MAX1111CEE's 0.47mW | Requires external reference; no internal track/hold; higher power consumption limits battery life | Choose ADS7822U only if external reference flexibility outweighs power and integration trade-offs. |
| TLV2544IDW | 8-bit, 4-channel, SPI interface; 2.7V–5.5V supply; includes internal reference but no track/hold; 1.5µA standby vs. MAX1111CEE's 6µA | Lacks integrated track/hold; lower max sampling rate (200ksps vs. 50ksps) but higher resolution headroom | Prefer TLV2544IDW for cost-sensitive designs where external sample-hold is acceptable and lower standby current is critical. |
Compared with ADS7822U and TLV2544IDW, the MAX1111CEE uniquely integrates track/hold, reference, and low-power serial interface in a single 16-pin QSOP - reducing BOM count and PCB area while delivering best-in-class 6µA shutdown current for ultra-low-power sensing nodes.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX1111CEE?
The MAX1111CEE is rated for 0°C to +70°C operation, as confirmed in the ordering information row specifying "MAX1110CAP/MAX1111CEE...............................0°C to +70°C". This commercial-grade range aligns with portable and industrial indoor applications where ambient thermal stress is moderate. The device's internal reference exhibits ±0.8ppm/°C drift across this span, ensuring stable full-scale calibration without external compensation.
Does the MAX1111CEE include an internal track/hold circuit?
Yes, the MAX1111CEE integrates a track/hold (T/H) circuit with ≤1µs acquisition time, as documented in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics tables. This allows the device to accurately sample fast-changing analog signals without external components - critical for maintaining integrity during multiplexed channel switching in portable data loggers and medical devices.
Can the MAX1111CEE operate with a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX1111CEE supports 2.7V to 5.5V single-supply operation, fully covering 3.3V systems. At 3.3V, it maintains 85µA supply current at 50ksps and retains ±1 LSB total unadjusted error. Its 5.5V-tolerant digital inputs (CS, SCLK, DIN) also simplify interface with 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1111CEE support?
The MAX1111CEE supports four analog input channels (CH0–CH3) configurable as either single-ended inputs referenced to COM or two pseudo-differential pairs (CH0/CH1 and CH2/CH3). This is explicitly stated in the Features section and confirmed in the Pin Description and Table 2a/2b - distinguishing it from the 8-channel MAX1110 and validating its role in compact, low-channel-count sensing applications.
What serial interface standards is the MAX1111CEE compatible with?
The MAX1111CEE supports SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE serial protocols, as stated in the General Description and Functional Diagram. It uses a 4-wire interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT) with MSB-first, falling-edge DOUT timing and CPOL=0/CPHA=0 configuration - enabling plug-and-play integration with standard microcontroller peripherals without custom firmware drivers.
