Product details
Overview
MAX11169EUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit, 250ksps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with true bipolar ±5V input range, integrated 4.096V low-drift reference (±7ppm/°C), and SPI-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 5V analog supply and 2.3V–5.25V digital supply, delivering 93dB SNR and –101dB THD at 10kHz for precision industrial data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11169EUB+ datasheet, MAX11169EUB+ pinout, MAX11169EUB+ application, or MAX11169EUB+ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed operating modes (CS/daisy-chain), real-world noise performance (0.5 LSBRMS input-referred), and documented thermal drift behavior across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX11169EUB+ implements a pseudo-differential sampling architecture with internal track-and-hold, enabling accurate 1µs acquisition of high-impedance sources without external op-amp buffering in many cases. Its patented charge-pump input stage supports direct sampling while maintaining ±0.5 LSB INL (typ) and guaranteed no-missing-codes performance.
It features dual-supply operation (VDD = 4.75–5.25V, OVD D = 2.3–5.25V), programmable interface mode selection via SDI at CNVST rising edge, and optional busy-indicator signaling on SDO to simplify system timing synchronization in multichannel daisy-chain configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with guaranteed no-missing-codes - ensures monotonicity and eliminates code gaps in critical measurement systems. |
| Throughput Rate | 250ksps maximum - supports real-time sampling of fast transients without pipeline latency. |
| SNR / THD | 93dB SNR and –101dB THD at 10kHz - enables high-fidelity digitization of low-distortion sensor signals. |
| Analog Input Range | True bipolar ±5V (10VP-P) - accepts both positive and negative voltages referenced to AIN-, simplifying signal conditioning. |
| Reference | Integrated 4.096V ±7ppm/°C reference with internal buffer - eliminates external reference IC and saves PCB area and BOM cost. |
| Power Consumption | 33mW at 250ksps, 10µA shutdown - suitable for power-constrained portable or battery-backed instrumentation. |
| Digital Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface - interoperable with common microcontrollers and DSPs without protocol translation. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX11169EUB+ is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3mm × 5mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in industrial and medical instrumentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF | Internal reference bypass terminal | Must be decoupled with ≥10µF X5R/X7R capacitor close to pin - stabilizes reference voltage and suppresses noise-induced errors. |
| 2 - VDD | Analog power supply (4.75–5.25V) | Requires local 0.1µF + board-level 10µF bypassing - powers analog core and reference buffer; noise here directly impacts INL/SNR. |
| 3 - AIN+ | Positive pseudo-differential analog input | Accepts –5.1V to +5.1V relative to GND; sampled differentially against AIN–; supports overvoltage clamp up to ±7V. |
| 4 - AIN– | Negative pseudo-differential analog input | Range limited to –0.1V to +0.1V; defines common-mode baseline; enables remote-sense grounding for improved CMR. |
| 5 - GND | Analog and digital ground reference | Single-point connection recommended; separates analog/digital return paths to minimize coupling of digital switching noise. |
| 6 - CNVST | Conversion start and interface mode select | Rising edge initiates conversion; logic level of SDI at this edge selects CS or daisy-chain mode - critical for multichannel sync. |
| 7 - SDO | Serial data output with optional busy indicator | Outputs MSB-first 16-bit result; asserts busy bit when enabled - eliminates need for external timeout circuits in timing-critical systems. |
| 8 - SCLK | Serial clock input | Drives data out on falling edge; timing varies by OVD D voltage (14–30ns min period) - must meet setup/hold requirements per mode. |
| 9 - SDI | Serial data input / mode control | Low at CNVST rising edge enables daisy-chain; high enables CS mode; also used as chip-select enable in CS mode. |
| 10 - OVDD | Digital I/O supply (2.3–5.25V) | Independent of VDD - allows interfacing with 2.5V/3.3V/5V logic without level shifters; requires 0.1µF + 10µF bypassing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pseudo-differential input with 6MHz small-signal bandwidth | Enables accurate 1µs acquisition of multiplexed sensor channels without external amplifiers in many applications. |
| Patented charge-pump input architecture | Allows direct sampling of high-impedance sources (e.g., RTDs, thermocouples) while maintaining 16-bit linearity. |
| Integrated reference with ±7ppm/°C TC and internal buffer | Eliminates external reference IC and buffer op-amp, reducing component count, layout complexity, and temperature-induced gain drift. |
| Configurable SPI-compatible interface with busy indicator | Supports CS and daisy-chain modes; busy bit on SDO removes dependency on fixed conversion-time timers in real-time systems. |
| Input overvoltage protection (±20mA clamp) | Protects against transient faults up to ±7V at AIN+, enabling robust front-end design without additional TVS or current-limiting circuitry. |
| Low 0.5 LSBRMS input-referred noise | Preserves dynamic range in low-amplitude signal measurements (e.g., strain gauge outputs), supporting sub-µV resolution. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX11167EUB+ | Same 16-bit/250ksps SAR architecture but 0–5V unipolar input range; identical package, pinout, and interface. | Requires external level-shifting for bipolar signals; lacks built-in overvoltage clamps on AIN+. | Select when measuring only positive-only sensor outputs (e.g., 4–20mA loop receivers) and board space permits external biasing. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | Texas Instruments 16-bit, 1MSPS SAR ADC with 0–5V input; requires external reference; higher speed but higher power (45mW). | No internal reference or bipolar input support; different SPI timing and no busy indicator; larger 10-pin VSSOP package (3.0×3.0mm). | Choose for higher throughput needs where external reference and level-shifting are already present; not drop-in compatible due to pin function differences. |
Compared with MAX11167EUB+, the MAX11169EUB+ adds true bipolar input and overvoltage protection at same speed; versus ADS8860IDRCT, it trades raw speed for integrated reference, lower power, and simplified analog front-end design - making it optimal for space- and cost-sensitive precision measurement systems.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the MAX11169EUB+ analog inputs?
The MAX11169EUB+ specifies an absolute maximum AIN+ to GND voltage of ±7V and AIN– to GND of –0.3V to +0.3V. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage. For reliable operation within specification, keep AIN+ within ±5.1V and AIN– within ±0.1V, and use series resistors to limit fault current to ≤±20mA if overvoltage exposure is possible.
Does the MAX11169EUB+ require an external reference, or is the internal reference sufficient for precision applications?
The MAX11169EUB+ includes a fully integrated 4.096V reference with ±7ppm/°C temperature coefficient and internal buffer - sufficient for most precision applications without external components. Its typical INL of ±0.5 LSB and 93dB SNR confirm that the internal reference meets high-accuracy requirements when properly bypassed with a 10µF capacitor on the REF pin.
How does the MAX11169EUB+ support multichannel simultaneous sampling?
The MAX11169EUB+ supports multichannel simultaneous sampling via its daisy-chain interface mode: tie CNVST and SCLK together across all devices, route SDO of one to SDI of the next, and initiate conversion with a shared CNVST edge. All devices sample simultaneously, and results shift out sequentially - enabling true synchronized acquisition across multiple MAX11169EUB+ units without additional hardware.
What is the minimum acquisition time required for full 16-bit accuracy on the MAX11169EUB+?
The MAX11169EUB+ requires a minimum 1µs acquisition time (tACQ) to achieve full 16-bit accuracy. This is fixed by internal timing and cannot be reduced. To meet this, the source impedance driving AIN+ must be ≤1kΩ when connecting directly; with an external buffer, include a 5–50Ω series resistor and 4.7nF capacitor at AIN+ to control settling transients and preserve linearity.
Can the MAX11169EUB+ interface directly with a 2.5V microcontroller SPI port?
Yes - the MAX11169EUB+ supports OVDD from 2.3V to 5.25V, so it can operate with a 2.5V digital supply. Its digital inputs (CNVST, SCLK, SDI) accept VIH ≥ 0.7×OVDD and VIL ≤ 0.3×OVDD, and SDO drives VOH ≥ OVDD–0.4V and VOL ≤ 0.4V, making it fully compatible with standard 2.5V SPI logic without level shifters.
