Product details
Overview
The MAX11123ATI+ from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, 8-channel, 1Msps serial-output SAR ADC with external reference support, 1.5MHz full-linear bandwidth, and integrated SampleSet™ channel sequencing. It operates from 2.35V–3.6V supply, consumes only 5.4mW at 1Msps, and supports single-ended, pseudo-differential, and fully differential input configurations - ideal for battery-powered industrial data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11123ATI+ datasheet, MAX11123ATI+ pinout, MAX11123ATI+ application, or MAX11123ATI+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10-bit resolution with ±0.4 LSB INL, 16MHz SPI-compatible interface, internal FIFO, SampleSet programmable scan mode, and TQFN-28 (5mm × 5mm) package with exposed pad.
Technical Context
The MAX11123ATI+ implements a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with dual clock modes: internal clock (enabling FIFO buffering and on-chip averaging) and external clock (supporting SampleSet™ user-defined channel sequencing). Its analog multiplexer supports up to eight single-ended inputs or four fully differential pairs, with flexible RANGE-bit-controlled bipolar/unipolar input ranges (±VREF+/2 or ±VREF+).
It features true differential track-and-hold, 30ps RMS aperture jitter, and guaranteed 61dB SINAD at 250kHz input frequency. The 3-wire serial interface operates up to 16MHz and is directly compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE controllers without level-shifting logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - delivers 1024 distinct output codes with no missing codes over temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 1Msps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 500kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.4 LSB / ±0.4 LSB - ensures high code-to-code linearity critical for precision measurement systems. |
| SINAD | 61 dB at 250kHz - supports accurate digitization of medium-frequency sensor outputs in noisy environments. |
| Power Consumption | 5.4 mW at 1Msps (3V supply) - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and edge-sensing nodes. |
| Full-Linear Bandwidth | 1.5 MHz - maintains >61dB SINAD across the entire usable analog input spectrum. |
| Serial Interface | 16MHz 3-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE - eliminates need for glue logic when interfacing with common microcontrollers. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
MAX11123ATI+ uses a 28-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package with exposed thermal pad (Package Code T2855+3, Outline 21-0140). Pin 1 is marked by a dot; EP must be soldered to GND for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN7 | Analog Input Channels | Eight configurable inputs supporting single-ended, pseudo-differential (vs. AIN15/REF−), or fully differential (pairwise) operation. |
| CNVST | Active-Low Conversion Start | Edge-triggered command initiates conversion cycle; synchronous with internal or external clock mode. |
| REF+, REF− | Differential Reference Inputs | Accept external 1V–VDD reference; REF− may also serve as AIN15 in 16-channel variants (not applicable to MAX11123ATI+). |
| VDD, DGND, GND, OVDD | Power & Ground Rails | VDD (2.35–3.6V analog supply), OVDD (1.5–3.6V I/O supply), DGND (digital ground), GND (analog ground) - require separate low-impedance paths. |
| CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT, EOC | 3-Wire Serial Interface | Standard SPI-compatible signals; EOC asserts low after conversion completes (internal clock mode only). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SampleSet™ Channel Sequencing | User-programmable scan pattern (up to 256 entries) reduces MCU overhead and enables mixed-rate multichannel sampling without host intervention. |
| Internal FIFO (16-entry) | Buffers conversions during high-speed acquisition, allowing asynchronous readout at lower clock rates - decouples sampling from processing timing. |
| Flexible Input Configuration | Per-channel software-selectable unipolar/bipolar range and single-ended/differential mode simplifies hardware design across diverse sensor types. |
| AutoShutdown™ & Fast Wake-up | Reduces current to 2µA in full shutdown; resumes conversion in <2 cycles - ideal for duty-cycled sensing applications. |
| Low Aperture Jitter (30ps RMS) | Minimizes sampling uncertainty, preserving SNR at higher input frequencies - critical for dynamic signal fidelity. |
| Wide I/O Supply Range (1.5V–3.6V) | Direct interface with 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic families without level translators - simplifies system-level integration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit, multichannel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8684IPWR | 16-bit, 4-channel, 100ksps, internal reference, SPI interface, 2.7–5.5V supply | Higher resolution but lower speed and channel count; no SampleSet or FIFO | Select for precision DC measurements where throughput <100ksps suffices and external reference is undesirable. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX11123ATI+?
The MAX11123ATI+ supports a maximum sampling rate of 1 million samples per second (1Msps) in both internal and external clock modes. At this rate, conversion time is 1000ns in externally clocked mode (16MHz SCLK) or 5.9µs in internally clocked mode. This enables real-time capture of signals with up to 500kHz bandwidth while maintaining guaranteed 61dB SINAD performance.
Does the MAX11123ATI+ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the MAX11123ATI+ requires an external differential reference applied between REF+ and REF− pins. The reference voltage range is 1V to VDD, and REF+ must be bypassed to GND with a 0.47µF capacitor. Unlike some ADCs, it does not include an internal reference; this design allows users to optimize SNR and dynamic range using precision external references such as the ADR45xx series.
How many analog input channels does the MAX11123ATI+ support, and what configurations are available?
The MAX11123ATI+ supports eight analog input channels (AIN0–AIN7). These can be configured as single-ended inputs, pseudo-differential inputs (relative to REF−/AIN15), or fully differential pairs (e.g., AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3). Input ranges are software-selectable via the RANGE bit: ±VREF+/2 (bipolar) or 0 to VREF+ (unipolar), providing flexibility across diverse sensor interfaces.
What is SampleSet™ technology, and how does it benefit system design using the MAX11123ATI+?
SampleSet™ is a user-programmable channel sequencer that allows up to 256 unique conversion sequences to be loaded into the MAX11123ATI+. It eliminates continuous MCU polling by autonomously cycling through defined channels - even mixing high- and low-frequency inputs - reducing communication overhead and system noise. This feature is especially valuable in resource-constrained microcontroller applications and battery-powered devices.
Is the MAX11123ATI+ pin-compatible with other members of the MAX11120–MAX11128 family?
No, the MAX11123ATI+ is not pin-compatible with all family members. While it shares the same 28-pin TQFN-EP package and core pinout (e.g., AIN0–AIN7, CS, SCLK, DOUT), variants like the 4-channel MAX11120ATI+ and 16-channel MAX11126ATI+ repurpose pins such as CNVST/AIN14 and REF−/AIN15. Always verify pin mapping against the specific device's Pin Configuration table before PCB layout.
What thermal management considerations apply to the MAX11123ATI+ in high-temperature operation?
The MAX11123ATI+ has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 29°C/W on a JEDEC 4-layer board. To maintain operation within the −40°C to +125°C range, the exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a solid GND plane. For sustained +125°C ambient use, ensure power dissipation remains ≤5.4mW (1Msps, 3V) and derate linearly above +70°C using the specified 34.4mW/°C derating factor.
