Product details
Overview
MAX111ACWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a ±14-bit, 2-channel serial analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating from a single +5V supply, delivering 0.05% linearity and 50Hz/60Hz rejection for precision differential or single-ended measurements in the ±1.5V or 0V–+1.5V input range. It features auto-calibration, 640µA active current, 4µA shutdown, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface - ideal for panel meters and weigh scales requiring high resolution without external components.
For engineers reviewing the MAX111ACWE+ datasheet, MAX111ACWE+ pinout, MAX111ACWE+ application, or MAX111ACWE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for each specification, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences, and supply-chain support tailored for industrial data-acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The MAX111ACWE+ implements a first-order sigma-delta architecture with internal voltage-to-current conversion, integrator, comparator, and 1-bit DAC feedback loop. Its oversampling clock (fOSC) supports ÷1/÷2/÷4 division and may be sourced from either an internal RC oscillator (RCSEL = VDD) or external TTL/CMOS clock (RCSEL = GND).
Conversion output is 16-bit twos-complement serial data (sign bit POL, overrange bit OFL, 14 data bits MSB-first), synchronized to SCLK falling edge. BUSY asserts low at conversion start and returns high upon completion - enabling interrupt-driven µP interfacing without polling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | ±14-bit + sign + overrange (16-bit serial output); enables detection of sub-100µV changes in ±1.5V full-scale range. |
| Linearity (INL) | ±0.05% FSR (typical); ensures <±1 LSB error across full input span for calibrated differential measurements. |
| Supply Current | 640µA (active), 4µA (power-down); supports battery-powered operation >1 year with periodic sampling. |
| Input Range | Differential: ±1.5V; single-ended: 0V to +1.5V; matches standard industrial sensor outputs without level-shifting. |
| Rejection | 50Hz/60Hz notch filtering; eliminates mains-induced noise in weigh scales and process control transducers. |
| Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial I/O; uses only CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT - saves µP GPIO and simplifies opto-isolation. |
| Calibration | Internal offset/gain auto-calibration under µP control; removes need for factory trim or external calibration circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
MAX111ACWE+ is housed in a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) package with 0.3-inch body width and standard gull-wing leads. Pinout is identical to the 16-pin DIP/SO variants of the MAX111 family and fully compatible with PCB footprints for MAX111ACPE/MAX111BCWE.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1+, IN1- | Differential Channel 1 Input | Accepts ±1.5V differential signal; common-mode voltage must stay within 0V to VDD–3.2V. |
| IN2+, IN2- | Differential Channel 2 Input | Second independent 2-wire input pair; shares same reference and conversion engine as IN1. |
| REF+, REF- | Differential Reference Inputs | Set full-scale range: VREF = (REF+ – REF–); supports 0V–1.5V (REF– = 0V) or ±1.5V (REF– = AGND) configurations. |
| VDD | Positive Supply | +5V ±5% main power rail; powers analog core, digital logic, and internal oscillator. |
| AGND | Analog Ground | Dedicated ground return for analog inputs and reference; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for serial interface; conversion starts on rising edge when NO-OP = 1 in control word. |
| SCLK | Serial Clock | TTL/CMOS input; controls data shift-in/out timing; DC–2MHz operation allows flexible µP clocking. |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Loads 16-bit control word (NO-OP, CONV bits, CAL, PD, etc.) on SCLK rising edge. |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | Outputs 16-bit result (POL, OFL, D13–D0) on SCLK falling edge; high-impedance when CS high. |
| BUSY | Conversion Status | Open-drain active-low signal; indicates conversion in progress; used for interrupt or polling synchronization. |
| XCLK | Oversampling Clock I/O | Input for external clock (RCSEL = GND) or output of internal RC oscillator (RCSEL = VDD). |
| RCSEL | Oscillator Mode Select | High = internal RC oscillator enabled; Low = external XCLK required; determines clock source for sigma-delta modulator. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Full 14-bit performance achieved with only decoupling caps - eliminates trimming resistors, op-amps, or reference buffers. |
| Auto-calibration under µP control | Offset and gain correction initiated via CAL bit in control register; no manual intervention or external calibration hardware needed. |
| 50Hz/60Hz rejection | Integrated digital filtering rejects line-frequency interference without additional firmware or external notch filters. |
| Two independent differential channels | Single device replaces two discrete ADCs; reduces BOM count, layout area, and inter-channel crosstalk in multi-sensor systems. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | 4µA quiescent current with PD/PDX bits set; enables microamp-level sleep between conversions in portable instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | 16-bit delta-sigma ADC, I²C interface, internal 2.048V reference, 860µA active current, no auto-calibration. | Requires external level-shifting for ±1.5V inputs; better suited for low-pin-count I²C systems than SPI-critical designs. | Select when I²C bus availability and integrated reference outweigh need for 50Hz rejection and dual differential inputs. |
| MAX11200EEE+ | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC, SPI interface, 130µA active current, built-in PGA (1–128×), no 50Hz rejection. | Higher resolution but slower throughput (up to 120SPS); PGA enables direct connection to low-output sensors like thermocouples. | Select when ultra-high resolution and programmable gain are prioritized over line-frequency rejection and cost-sensitive 14-bit performance. |
Compared with ADS1115IDGSR and MAX11200EEE+, the MAX111ACWE+ uniquely combines 50Hz/60Hz rejection, dual differential inputs, auto-calibration, and SPI compatibility in a single +5V, low-cost 14-bit solution - making it optimal for industrial panel meters and weigh scales where noise immunity and simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX111ACWE+?
The MAX111ACWE+ is specified for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, as indicated by the 'C' grade suffix in its ordering code. This commercial-grade rating suits indoor industrial equipment, test instruments, and embedded controllers not exposed to extended thermal extremes. The device maintains ±0.05% linearity and 640µA supply current across this full range, with offset drift limited to ±0.003µV/°C.
Does MAX111ACWE+ support single-ended input mode?
Yes, the MAX111ACWE+ supports single-ended operation on both channels: IN1+ to AGND or IN2+ to AGND, with input range 0V to +1.5V when REF– = AGND and REF+ = +1.5V. In this mode, the device retains its ±14-bit resolution and auto-calibration capability, though common-mode rejection is reduced compared to differential use. The datasheet confirms single-ended INL as ±0.10% FSR (typical).
How does the auto-calibration function work in MAX111ACWE+?
The MAX111ACWE+ performs offset and gain calibration under µP control via the CAL bit in its 16-bit control register. When CAL = 1 and NO-OP = 1, the ADC executes a self-test sequence using internal zero and reference voltages, updating internal correction coefficients. No external components or user intervention are required - the calibrated result appears automatically in subsequent conversions.
Can MAX111ACWE+ reject 50Hz and 60Hz noise simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX111ACWE+ provides simultaneous 50Hz and 60Hz rejection through its oversampling architecture and fixed conversion timing. By selecting specific CONV1–CONV4 bit combinations (e.g., 1010 for 81,920 clocks/conversion), the device achieves notch filtering at both frequencies without software configuration - a hardware-enforced feature critical for global industrial deployments.
What package type is used for MAX111ACWE+?
The MAX111ACWE+ uses a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) package with 0.3-inch body width and standard 1.27mm pitch gull-wing leads. This RoHS-compliant surface-mount package offers thermal and mechanical compatibility with legacy MAX111ACPE (DIP) and MAX111BCWE (SO) variants, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts without footprint redesign.
