Product details
Overview
MAX11141ATI+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-bit, 4-channel, 500ksps successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with external reference support, 1.5MHz full-linear bandwidth, and integrated FIFO. It operates from 2.35V to 3.6V, consumes 4.2mW at 500ksps, and supports single-ended, pseudo-differential, and fully differential input configurations for portable data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11141ATI+ datasheet, MAX11141ATI+ pinout, MAX11141ATI+ application, or MAX11141ATI+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, real-world timing behavior, package-validated pin functions, and direct alternative part comparisons - all grounded in the official MAX11135–MAX11143 datasheet Rev 1 (7/2012).
Technical Context
The MAX11141ATI+ implements a SAR architecture with dual clock modes: internal clock (enabling FIFO buffering and on-chip averaging) and external clock (supporting SampleSet™ programmable channel sequencing). Its analog multiplexer provides true differential track-and-hold across all four channels, configurable as single-ended, pseudo-differential (relative to common AIN15), or fully differential pairs.
It features a 3-wire SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface running up to 8MHz, with EOC signaling in internal-clock mode only. Input voltage range is software-selectable bipolar (±VREF+/2 or ±VREF+) or unipolar (0 to VREF+), and reference inputs accept 1V to VDD with ≤36.7µA current draw at 500ksps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - delivers 256 distinct output codes; sufficient for cost-sensitive sensor monitoring and control-loop feedback where high dynamic range is not required. |
| Sampling Rate | 500ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to 250kHz (Nyquist-limited); no pipeline delay enables deterministic timing in closed-loop systems. |
| SINAD @ 250kHz | 49.6dB typical - defines usable signal bandwidth for medium-fidelity acquisition; corresponds to ~8.0 effective number of bits (ENOB). |
| Power Dissipation | 4.2mW at 3V/500ksps - enables battery operation for >1 year in low-duty-cycle instrumentation with 10mA-hr coin cells. |
| Full-Linear Bandwidth | 1.5MHz - preserves amplitude accuracy for transient events (e.g., motor commutation spikes) without requiring external anti-alias filtering beyond 1.5MHz. |
| Supply Range | VDD = 2.35V to 3.6V; OVVDD = 1.5V to 3.6V - allows direct interfacing with 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic without level shifters. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.15LSB / ±0.15LSB - ensures monotonicity and minimal code-width variation across temperature, critical for position-sensing and threshold-detection applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX11141ATI+ is housed in a 28-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN package with exposed pad (EP), rated for -40°C to +125°C operation. Pin assignments are validated per the "MAX11135/MAX11138/MAX11141 (4 CHANNEL)" column in the official pin description table (page 16).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN3 | Analog Input Channels | Four configurable inputs: single-ended, pseudo-differential (vs. REF−/AIN15), or fully differential pairs; each supports unipolar/bipolar ranges via RANGE bit. |
| REF+ / REF−/AIN15 | Reference Inputs | REF+ accepts 1V to VDD; REF−/AIN15 serves as negative reference or fifth analog input; enables external differential reference for improved noise rejection. |
| CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT | 3-Wire Serial Interface | Standard SPI-compatible signals; DOUT active on SCLK falling edge; CS enables interface and places DOUT in high-Z when deasserted. |
| CNVST | Conversion Start | Active-low edge-triggered input; initiates conversion cycle; no internal auto-scan unless configured in SampleSet mode (external clock only). |
| EOC | End-of-Conversion Flag | Pulls low after conversion completes *only in internal clock mode*; used for interrupt-driven readout; inactive in external clock mode. |
| VDD / DGND / OVDD / GND | Power & Ground | VDD (2.35–3.6V) powers analog core; OVDD (1.5–3.6V) powers digital I/O; separate DGND and GND pins minimize digital switching noise coupling into analog path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SampleSet™ Channel Sequencing | User-programmable scan order up to 256 entries; eliminates MCU polling overhead and enables mixed-rate sampling (e.g., slow temp + fast vibration) in one acquisition burst. |
| 16-Entry FIFO Buffer | Stores conversions in internal-clock mode; decouples sampling rate (500ksps) from readout rate (e.g., 100ksps), easing host processor load and enabling burst capture. |
| Internal Averaging | Configurable oversampling and averaging improves SNR by up to 3dB for noisy sensor signals without external firmware averaging. |
| Flexible Input Configuration | All four channels support identical modes: single-ended, pseudo-differential (vs. common AIN15), or fully differential - simplifies PCB layout and firmware reuse across variants. |
| AutoShutdown™ & Fast Wake-up | Reduces supply current to 1.5µA in AutoStandby; full wake-up in <1µs - ideal for wake-on-event sensor nodes with strict duty-cycle constraints. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit, low-power, multichannel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7953IRHBT | 12-bit, 16-channel, 1MSPS, SPI interface; requires external reference; no FIFO or SampleSet; higher power (12mW @ 1MSPS). | Better resolution and channel count, but lacks on-chip sequencing and low-power standby modes; suited for higher-accuracy industrial DAQ, not ultra-low-power portable use. | Select ADS7953IRHBT when 12-bit ENOB and 16-channel density outweigh power and firmware simplicity needs. |
| AD7476ARTZ-REEL7 | 12-bit, single-channel, 1MSPS, SPI; no FIFO, no multiplexer, no internal clock mode; 3.5mW @ 1MSPS; smaller SOT-23-6 package. | Single-input only; no channel scanning or averaging; requires external mux for multi-channel use; better for point-measurement, not system-level acquisition. | Select AD7476ARTZ-REEL7 for space-constrained, single-sensor applications where board-level muxing is acceptable and 12-bit fidelity is mandatory. |
Compared with ADS7953IRHBT and AD7476ARTZ-REEL7, MAX11141ATI+ uniquely balances 4-channel integration, 8-bit speed/power trade-off, on-chip FIFO, and SampleSet™ sequencing - making it optimal for embedded systems needing deterministic, low-overhead, battery-efficient multi-sensor acquisition without external logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX11141ATI+?
The MAX11141ATI+ achieves a guaranteed 500ksps conversion rate in both internal and external clock modes. In internal clock mode, conversion time is 5.9µs; in external clock mode with 8MHz SCLK, it completes in 2000ns. This rate is maintained across the full -40°C to +125°C operating range and supports undersampling of signals up to 1.5MHz full-linear bandwidth.
Does the MAX11141ATI+ support differential input configurations?
Yes, the MAX11141ATI+ supports fully differential, pseudo-differential (relative to REF−/AIN15), and single-ended input modes across all four analog inputs. In fully differential mode, AIN0–AIN3 can be paired as two differential channels; in pseudo-differential mode, all inputs share REF−/AIN15 as common reference - confirmed in the "Analog Multiplexer" section and pin description table.
How does the SampleSet™ feature work on the MAX11141ATI+?
SampleSet™ is available only in external clock mode and allows users to program a custom 256-entry sequence of channel selections and conversion parameters into internal registers. Once loaded, the MAX11141ATI+ autonomously executes the sequence without host intervention - reducing MCU communication overhead and enabling mixed-rate sampling (e.g., 100Hz temp + 10kHz vibration) within one acquisition burst.
What is the purpose of the EOC pin on the MAX11141ATI+?
The EOC (End of Conversion) pin on the MAX11141ATI+ asserts low to signal valid conversion data - but only in internal clock mode. In external clock mode, EOC remains inactive; status must be inferred from timing or DOUT activity. This behavior is explicitly documented in the pin description and functional diagram sections of the datasheet.
Can the MAX11141ATI+ operate with a 1.8V I/O supply?
Yes, the MAX11141ATI+ supports OVVDD from 1.5V to 3.6V, enabling direct connection to 1.8V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry. Digital inputs (CS, SCLK, DIN) recognize 0.25×OVVDD as logic low and 0.75×OVVDD as logic high; DOUT drives to 0.15V low and 0.85×OVVDD high under 200µA load - verified in the "Digital Inputs/Outputs" electrical characteristics tables.
