Product details
Overview
MAX11128ATI+G3U from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 16-channel, 1Msps SAR ADC with external reference support, 1.5MHz full-linear bandwidth, ±1 LSB INL/DNL, and 70dB SINAD at 250kHz - designed for high-speed data acquisition in battery-powered industrial and medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11128ATI+G3U datasheet, MAX11128ATI+G3U pinout, MAX11128ATI+G3U application, or MAX11128ATI+G3U equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, real-world timing behavior, FIFO-aided burst sampling capability, SampleSet™ channel sequencing, and thermal performance data for -40°C to +125°C operation.
Technical Context
The MAX11128ATI+G3U implements a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with dual clock modes: internal clock (enabling 16-entry FIFO buffering and on-chip averaging) and external clock (supporting SampleSet™ programmable channel sequencing up to 256 entries). It uses true differential track-and-hold with configurable input types - single-ended (16 ch), fully differential (8 ch), or pseudo-differential (15 ch relative to common).
Its analog front-end supports two software-selectable bipolar input ranges (±VREF+/2 or ±VREF+) and operates from 2.35V–3.6V VDD with 1.5V–3.6V OVDD, enabling direct interfacing to 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V digital systems. The 16MHz 3-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible interface eliminates level-shifting requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, multichannel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8688IPWR | 8-channel, 16-bit, 100ksps, internal reference, SPI interface; higher resolution but lower speed and channel count. | Better suited for precision DC measurements (e.g., strain gauge bridges) rather than high-frequency transient capture. | Select when absolute accuracy > speed; avoid if >1Msps or >12 channels required. |
| AD7960BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 5Msps, 8-channel, external reference, LVDS/CMOS interface; higher speed/resolution but 40mW power and larger LFCSP package. | Targets high-end test equipment and radar; incompatible with battery-powered or space-constrained designs. | Choose only for lab-grade dynamic range; not viable for portable or thermally constrained deployments. |
Compared with ADS8688IPWR and AD7960BCPZ-RL7, the MAX11128ATI+G3U uniquely balances 12-bit precision, 16-channel count, 1Msps throughput, and sub-6mW power - making it optimal for embedded industrial and portable medical systems where integration density and energy efficiency are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the MAX11128ATI+G3U?
The MAX11128ATI+G3U supports a maximum conversion rate of 1 Msps (1 million samples per second) in both internal and external clock modes. At this rate, the device maintains 1.5MHz full-linear bandwidth (SINAD > 70dB) and achieves conversion times of 5.9µs (internal clock) or 1000ns (external 16MHz clock), enabling real-time capture of fast analog transients.
Does the MAX11128ATI+G3U support differential input configurations?
Yes, the MAX11128ATI+G3U supports fully differential input pairs (8 channels), pseudo-differential inputs (15 channels relative to a common input), and single-ended inputs (16 channels). Its true differential track-and-hold architecture ensures matched acquisition timing and rejection of common-mode noise - critical for high-accuracy sensor interfaces.
How does the SampleSet™ feature work in the MAX11128ATI+G3U?
The SampleSet™ feature in the MAX11128ATI+G3U allows users to define and load a custom 256-step analog input channel sequence into on-chip memory. This enables autonomous, mixed-rate sampling (e.g., high-frequency vibration + low-frequency temperature) without continuous microcontroller intervention - reducing system noise, CPU load, and overall power consumption.
What power supply requirements must be met for reliable operation of the MAX11128ATI+G3U?
The MAX11128ATI+G3U requires two independent supplies: VDD (2.35V–3.6V) for analog circuitry and OVDD (1.5V–3.6V) for digital I/O. VDD must be bypassed with 10µF || 0.1µF capacitors to GND; REF+ requires a 0.47µF capacitor to GND. These ensure stable reference integrity, low-noise conversion, and compatibility with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V host systems.
Is the MAX11128ATI+G3U suitable for automotive applications?
The MAX11128ATI+G3U operates across -40°C to +125°C and is specified for industrial environments. While not AEC-Q100 qualified itself, its variant MAX11128ATI/V+ is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified. For automotive use, designers should select the /V+ variant - the MAX11128ATI+G3U is intended for industrial, medical, and portable instrumentation where extended temperature range and low power are prioritized.
