Product details
Overview
MAX11126ATI+ from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 16-channel, 1Msps SAR analog-to-digital converter with external reference support, 1.5MHz full-linear bandwidth, and integrated SampleSet™ channel sequencing. It operates from 2.35V to 3.6V, consumes 5.4mW at 1Msps, and targets high-speed data acquisition in space-constrained, battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11126ATI+ datasheet, MAX11126ATI+ pinout, MAX11126ATI+ application, or MAX11126ATI+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-channel differential multiplexer configuration, internal FIFO for burst sampling, ±1 LSB INL/DNL accuracy over temperature, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 16MHz 3-wire interface.
Technical Context
The MAX11126ATI+ implements a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with true differential track-and-hold, supporting single-ended, fully differential, and pseudo-differential input configurations across all 16 channels. Its SampleSet™ technology enables user-defined channel sequences up to 256 entries without microcontroller intervention.
In internal clock mode, it integrates a 16-entry FIFO and supports on-chip averaging to improve SNR; in external clock mode, conversion timing is synchronized to a 0.16–16MHz SCLK with 1000ns conversion time at 16MHz. Aperture jitter is 30ps RMS, enabling 70dB SINAD at 250kHz input frequency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 distinct output codes with no missing codes over -40°C to +125°C. |
| Sampling Rate | 1Msps - supports real-time capture of signals up to 1.5MHz full-linear bandwidth (SINAD > 70dB). |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB / ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and end-point linearity critical for closed-loop control feedback. |
| Power Dissipation | 5.4mW at 3V/1Msps - enables portable instrumentation with extended battery life; drops to 4.5µW in full shutdown. |
| Analog Input Channels | 16 single-ended or 8 fully differential - configurable per channel via software, with common-mode input flexibility. |
| Serial Interface | 16MHz 3-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE - connects directly to 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic without level shifters. |
| Reference Support | External differential (1V to VDD) - allows precision scaling and noise rejection in noisy industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX11126ATI+ is housed in a 28-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package with exposed pad (Package Code T2855+3), optimized for thermal performance (θJA = 29°C/W) and PCB area efficiency.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN13 | Analog Input Channels | 14 dedicated single-ended inputs; configurable as fully differential pairs or pseudo-differential relative to AIN15/REF−. |
| CNVST/AIN14 | Conversion Start / Analog Input 14 | Active-low hardware trigger for conversion; doubles as 15th analog input when not used as CNVST. |
| REF−/AIN15 | Reference Negative / Analog Input 15 | Differential reference return or 16th analog input; enables flexible reference coupling or expanded channel count. |
| REF+ | Positive Reference Input | Accepts 1V to VDD reference voltage; requires 0.47µF bypass capacitor for stable ADC accuracy. |
| VDD, OVDD, DGND, GND | Power & Ground Rails | VDD (2.35–3.6V analog supply), OVDD (1.5–3.6V I/O supply), separate DGND and analog GND pins minimize digital noise coupling. |
| SCLK, CS, DIN, DOUT, EOC | Serial Interface Signals | Standard 3-wire SPI interface; EOC asserts low only in internal clock mode to signal valid data readiness. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SampleSet™ Channel Sequencing | User-programmable 256-entry sequence eliminates MCU polling overhead and enables mixed-rate multichannel sampling. |
| 16-Entry FIFO Buffer | Allows high-speed acquisition bursts (e.g., 1Msps) followed by slower host readout-decouples sampling from communication timing. |
| Internal Averaging Mode | Improves SNR for noisy sensor signals without external firmware averaging; supported in internal clock mode only. |
| Flexible Input Configuration | Each channel independently set for single-ended, fully differential, or pseudo-differential operation relative to common input. |
| AutoShutdown™ & Fast Wake-up | Reduces current to 2µA in full shutdown; resumes conversion in <2 cycles-ideal for duty-cycled sensor systems. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8688IPWR | 8-channel, 16-bit, 1Msps, internal reference, SPI interface; higher resolution but no SampleSet or FIFO. | Lacks programmable channel sequencing and burst-buffer capability-requires more host CPU involvement for multichannel management. | Select when absolute resolution >12-bit and internal reference simplify design; avoid when dynamic channel scheduling or low-CPU-load operation is required. |
| AD7960BCPZ | 18-bit, 5Msps, pseudo-differential only, LVDS interface, no FIFO; requires external reference and complex layout. | Higher speed/resolution but incompatible pinout, interface, and power domain-no drop-in replacement possible. | Choose for ultra-high-fidelity applications like spectral analysis where 12-bit resolution is insufficient; not suitable for space/power-constrained portable designs. |
Compared with ADS8688IPWR and AD7960BCPZ, the MAX11126ATI+ uniquely balances 12-bit precision, 16-channel flexibility, on-chip FIFO buffering, and ultra-low active/shutdown power-making it optimal for embedded systems needing intelligent, autonomous multichannel sampling with minimal host resource usage.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of analog input channels supported by the MAX11126ATI+?
The MAX11126ATI+ supports up to 16 analog input channels: AIN0–AIN13 (14 pins), plus CNVST/AIN14 and REF−/AIN15, which double as AIN14 and AIN15 when not used for control/reference functions. All 16 channels are configurable as single-ended, fully differential, or pseudo-differential inputs.
Does the MAX11126ATI+ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the MAX11126ATI+ requires an external differential reference: REF+ (1V to VDD) and REF− (−0.3V to +1V). It does not include an internal reference. A 0.47µF capacitor must be placed between REF+ and GND for stable operation and optimal DC accuracy.
How does the SampleSet™ feature work in the MAX11126ATI+?
SampleSet™ is a user-programmable channel sequencer that accepts up to 256 entries defining the order and repetition rate of analog input sampling. Once loaded, the MAX11126ATI+ autonomously executes the sequence without host intervention-reducing MCU overhead and system-level noise in multichannel applications.
What is the purpose of the EOC pin on the MAX11126ATI+?
The EOC (End of Conversion) pin on the MAX11126ATI+ asserts low only in internal clock mode to indicate that conversion data is ready on DOUT. In external clock mode, data validity is determined by SCLK timing-EOC remains inactive and should not be monitored.
Can the MAX11126ATI+ operate with a 1.8V digital I/O supply?
Yes, the MAX11126ATI+ supports OVDD from 1.5V to 3.6V, making it compatible with 1.8V digital systems. The 3-wire serial interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT) operates natively at 1.8V logic levels-no level-shifting circuitry is required when interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers or FPGAs.
