Product details
Overview
MAX11126ATI+T from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 16-channel, 1Msps 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 5.4mW at 1Msps, and features 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface-designed for high-speed data acquisition in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11126ATI+T datasheet, MAX11126ATI+T pinout, MAX11126ATI+T application, or MAX11126ATI+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±1 LSB INL/DNL over temperature, 70dB SINAD at 250kHz, flexible analog input configuration (single-ended/differential/pseudo-differential), and AEC-Q100-qualified variant availability for automotive-grade designs.
Technical Context
The MAX11126ATI+T implements a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with true differential track-and-hold, supporting both internal clock mode (with 16-entry FIFO and averaging) and external clock mode (with SampleSet™ programmable sequencer). Its analog multiplexer enables 16 single-ended, 8 fully differential, or 15 pseudo-differential inputs relative to a common input.
It features dual supply domains: VDD (2.35V–3.6V) for analog core and OVDD (1.5V–3.6V) for digital I/O, enabling direct interfacing with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V controllers. Input ranges are software-selectable bipolar (±VREF+/2 or ±VREF+) or unipolar (0 to VREF+), with REF+ accepting 1V to VDD and REF− accepting −0.3V to +1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes with no missing codes across −40°C to +125°C. |
| Sampling Rate | 1Msps - supports real-time capture of signals up to 500kHz Nyquist frequency without pipeline delay. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB / ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and end-point linearity critical for closed-loop control accuracy. |
| SINAD | 70 dB at 250kHz - enables 11.3-bit effective resolution for medium-frequency sensor signal digitization. |
| Power Dissipation | 5.4 mW at 1Msps (3V) - enables >10-hour operation on a 100mAh Li-ion cell in continuous acquisition mode. |
| Full Shutdown Current | 2 µA - reduces system standby power to sub-microwatt levels during idle intervals. |
| Serial Interface | 16MHz 3-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE - eliminates level-shifter requirements when connecting to modern microcontrollers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX11126ATI+T is housed in a 28-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package with exposed pad (Package Code T2855+3, Outline 21-0140), optimized for thermal performance (θJA = 29°C/W) and PCB space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN13 | Analog Input Channels | 14 dedicated single-ended inputs; configurable as 8 fully differential pairs or 15 pseudo-differential channels relative to AIN15/REF−. |
| CNVST/AIN14 | Conversion Start / Analog Input 14 | Active-low hardware trigger for conversion initiation; doubles as 15th analog input when not used as CNVST. |
| REF−/AIN15 | Reference Negative / Analog Input 15 | Differential reference return node; also serves as 16th analog input in single-ended mode. |
| REF+ | Positive Reference Input | Accepts 1V to VDD; requires 0.47µF bypass capacitor to GND for stable reference coupling. |
| VDD, DGND, GND, EP | Analog & Digital Power/Ground | VDD powers analog core; DGND isolates digital I/O noise; EP must be soldered to solid GND plane for thermal and EMI integrity. |
| OVDD | Digital I/O Supply | Independent 1.5V–3.6V rail decouples logic interface from analog supply, enabling mixed-voltage system integration. |
| SCLK, DIN, DOUT, CS, EOC | 3-Wire Serial Interface | Standard SPI timing (16MHz max); EOC asserts low only in internal-clock mode to signal data readiness. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SampleSet™ Channel Sequencing | User-programmable 256-step sequence reduces MCU polling overhead and enables deterministic multichannel sampling without firmware intervention. |
| 16-Entry FIFO Buffer | Allows burst sampling at 1Msps while permitting slower host readout-eliminates timing-critical interrupt servicing in resource-limited microcontrollers. |
| Internal Averaging Mode | Improves SNR by up to 3dB for noisy industrial sensor signals without external filtering or post-processing. |
| Flexible Input Configuration | Single-ended, fully differential, and pseudo-differential modes per channel simplify front-end design across diverse transducer types (RTDs, strain gauges, current shunts). |
| Bipolar Input Ranges | Software-selectable ±VREF+/2 or ±VREF+ supports AC-coupled sensors and bidirectional measurement without external level-shifting circuitry. |

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, integrated reference; no SampleSet™ or FIFO; SPI-only interface. | Lacks multichannel sequencing flexibility; better suited for precision single-sensor systems requiring higher resolution over speed. | Select when absolute accuracy >12-bit and integrated reference simplify design-trade channel count and sequencing capability for resolution. |
| AD7960BCPZ | 18-bit, 5Msps, 8-channel, external reference; LVDS interface; no internal FIFO or averaging. | Higher resolution and speed but demands complex digital interface and power delivery; unsuitable for low-power portable use. | Choose for high-end test equipment where 18-bit fidelity and 5Msps throughput justify added layout and FPGA resource cost. |
Compared with ADS8688IPWR and AD7960BCPZ, MAX11126ATI+T uniquely balances 16-channel count, SampleSet™ programmability, and sub-6mW power-making it optimal for embedded systems needing deterministic multichannel acquisition without FPGA-level complexity or premium resolution cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the MAX11126ATI+T?
The MAX11126ATI+T supports a maximum conversion rate of 1Msps in both internal and external clock modes. At this rate, conversion time is 5.9µs (internal clock) or 1000ns (external clock with 16MHz SCLK), with acquisition time fixed at 156ns-enabling reliable sampling of signals up to 500kHz under Nyquist criteria.
Does the MAX11126ATI+T require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the MAX11126ATI+T requires an external reference. REF+ accepts 1V to VDD, and REF−/AIN15 accepts −0.3V to +1V. The device does not include an internal reference; using VDD as REF+ is permitted but limits full-scale range to the supply voltage, affecting SNR if VDD is noisy.
How many analog input channels does the MAX11126ATI+T support?
The MAX11126ATI+T supports 16 analog input channels: AIN0–AIN13 (14 pins), plus CNVST/AIN14 and REF−/AIN15, which double as AIN14 and AIN15 in single-ended mode-enabling full 16-channel operation without external multiplexing.
What package type is used for the MAX11126ATI+T?
The MAX11126ATI+T uses a 28-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package (Package Code T2855+3, Outline 21-0140) with exposed thermal pad. This package provides θJA = 29°C/W and requires soldering the EP directly to a solid GND plane for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression.
Is the MAX11126ATI+T compatible with standard SPI interfaces?
Yes, the MAX11126ATI+T features a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface operating up to 16MHz. It connects directly to SPI, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE® controllers without external logic-supporting standard CPOL=0, CPHA=0 timing with CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT signals.
