Product details
Overview
MAX1112EAP from Maxim Integrated is an 8-bit, 8-channel successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal track/hold, 4.096V reference, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, and software-configurable unipolar/bipolar single-ended/differential input modes. It operates from a single 4.5V–5.5V supply, draws 135µA at 50ksps, and supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It is used in portable data loggers and hand-held measurement devices requiring low-power, multi-channel digitization.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1112EAP datasheet, MAX1112EAP pinout, MAX1112EAP application, or MAX1112EAP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-channel single-ended input capability, 135µA active current at 50ksps, −40°C to +85°C operating range, SSOP-20 package, and internal reference-based accuracy of ±1 LSB total unadjusted error.
Technical Context
The MAX1112EAP implements a capacitive DAC-based successive-approximation architecture with integrated track/hold circuitry. Its conversion timing is determined either by an internal 400kHz clock or by an external serial clock up to 2MHz, with acquisition time fixed at 1µs minimum and conversion time of 25µs (internal clock mode) or 10 SCLK cycles (external clock mode).
Input configuration is fully software-controlled via an 8-bit control byte specifying channel selection (CH0–CH7), unipolar/bipolar mode, single-ended/differential mode, and power-down state. The analog front-end supports pseudo-differential sampling with COM-referenced zero-code alignment and ±0.5 LSB COM stability requirement during conversion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - delivers 256 discrete output codes for medium-precision sensor and monitoring applications. |
| Sampling Rate | Up to 50ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to ~800kHz small-signal bandwidth with undersampling capability. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1 LSB (max), ±0.3 LSB (typ) - ensures monotonicity and <0.4% full-scale accuracy without calibration. |
| Supply Current | 135µA at 50ksps; 13µA in software power-down at 1ksps - enables battery-powered operation with dynamic power scaling. |
| Reference Voltage | Internal 4.096V ±0.8ppm/°C - provides stable full-scale range matching common microcontroller ADC references and simplifies layout. |
| Input Channels | 8 single-ended or 4 differential - enables flexible signal routing for multi-sensor systems without external multiplexers. |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire interface - interoperates with standard MCU peripherals without protocol translation. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1112EAP is housed in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm lead pitch, optimized for compact industrial PCB layouts and compatible with standard reflow processes.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 5–8 | Analog Input Channels CH0–CH7 | Eight dedicated single-ended inputs; configurable as four differential pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, CH6/CH7) via control byte. |
| 9 | COM (Common Reference) | Ground reference for single-ended mode; sets zero-code voltage; must remain stable within ±0.5 LSB during conversion. |
| 10 | SHDN (Shutdown Control) | Three-level input: high-impedance = normal operation; DGND = 10µA shutdown; VDD = internal reference disabled. |
| 11 | REFIN (Reference Input) | Accepts external reference (1V to VDD); tied to REFOUT for internal 4.096V reference use. |
| 12 | REFOUT (Reference Output) | 4.096V buffered reference output; requires 1µF bypass capacitor to AGND for stability and noise rejection. |
| 13 | AGND (Analog Ground) | Separate ground return for analog circuitry; must be isolated from DGND except at single-point star connection. |
| 14 | DGND (Digital Ground) | Digital logic ground; connects to µP ground plane; kept separate from AGND to minimize digital noise coupling. |
| 15 | DOUT (Serial Data Output) | MSB-first 8-bit conversion result; three-state when CS is high; clocked on SCLK falling edge. |
| 16 | SSTRB (Serial Strobe) | End-of-conversion indicator: pulses high for 2 clocks (external mode) or goes low→high (internal mode); used for interrupt-driven reads. |
| 17 | DIN (Serial Data Input) | Receives 8-bit control byte defining channel, mode, polarity, and clock source; sampled on SCLK rising edge. |
| 18 | CS (Chip Select) | Active-low enable for serial interface; disables DOUT and ignores DIN when high; initiates control byte parsing on first '1' after CS fall. |
| 19 | SCLK (Serial Clock) | Drives data transfer and (in external mode) controls conversion speed; duty cycle 45–55%; max 2MHz in internal clock mode. |
| 20 | VDD (Supply Voltage) | 4.5V–5.5V single supply; requires local 0.1µF + 1µF ceramic bypassing to AGND near pin for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input topology | Single-ended (8 ch) or differential (4 ch) operation selected dynamically via control byte-enables runtime reconfiguration without hardware change. |
| Integrated track/hold and reference | Eliminates need for external sample-and-hold IC and precision reference IC-reduces BOM count and board area by ≥3 components. |
| Low-power automatic shutdown | 13µA at 1ksps via software command or SHDN pin-extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like solar-powered remote sensors. |
| Industrial temperature grade | Specified from −40°C to +85°C-ensures reliable operation in harsh environments including factory automation and outdoor instrumentation. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility | Direct interface to common microcontroller serial peripherals with CPOL=0/CPHA=0 settings-no glue logic or firmware abstraction layer required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit multi-channel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 2.7V–5.25V supply; 1MSPS max rate; no internal reference; requires external REF; SO-8 package (8-pin) | Higher speed but lacks integrated reference and multi-channel flexibility; suited for single-input high-speed sampling. | Select ADS7822U only when >100ksps sampling is required and external reference infrastructure already exists. |
| MAX1113EEE | Same family, 4-channel variant; identical electrical specs, timing, and interface; QSOP-16 package; shares −40°C to +85°C rating | Reduced channel count (4 vs. 8) and smaller footprint; functionally identical where fewer inputs are needed. | Choose MAX1113EEE when board space is constrained and ≤4 analog inputs suffice-same firmware and layout adaptation effort. |
Compared with MAX1112EAP, the MAX1113EEE offers identical performance in a smaller QSOP-16 package but halves channel count, while the ADS7822U trades integrated reference and software configurability for higher speed and lower supply voltage-neither is pin-compatible, and both require PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX1112EAP?
The MAX1112EAP is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet, and applies specifically to the MAX1112EAP ordering option-not the commercial-grade MAX1112CAP variant.
Does the MAX1112EAP include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the MAX1112EAP integrates a precision 4.096V voltage reference with ±0.8ppm/°C temperature coefficient, accessible at the REFOUT pin. When REFIN is connected to REFOUT, the device uses this internal reference; it can also accept external references from 1V to VDD, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "REFOUT Voltage" and "External Reference at REFIN" sections.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1112EAP support?
The MAX1112EAP supports eight analog input channels (CH0–CH7), configurable in software as either eight single-ended inputs or four differential pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5, CH6/CH7). This 8-channel capability is explicitly stated in the General Description and Functional Diagram, and distinguishes the MAX1112EAP from the 4-channel MAX1113EEE variant.
What serial interface standards does the MAX1112EAP support?
The MAX1112EAP supports SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE serial interface standards through its 4-wire interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT). The datasheet confirms compatibility by specifying CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0 for SPI mode, and provides dedicated timing diagrams (Figures 6a–6c) for each protocol-ensuring direct connectivity to standard microcontroller peripherals without level-shifting or protocol conversion.
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX1112EAP?
The MAX1112EAP achieves a maximum sampling rate of 50ksps when using an external 500kHz serial clock, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "CONVERSION RATE" and confirmed in the General Description. At this rate, supply current is 135µA; the device maintains ±1 LSB total unadjusted error and 49dB SINAD across the full −40°C to +85°C range.
