Product details
Overview
MAX111BEAP+ from Maxim Integrated is a ±14-bit, 2-channel sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating from a single +5V supply, delivering 0.05% linearity and 50Hz/60Hz rejection for precision low-frequency measurement. It features differential input range of ±1.5V (or 0–1.5V single-ended), auto-calibration for offset/gain correction, and serial SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interface with 16-bit twos-complement output. Ideal for panel meters and weigh scales requiring high resolution without external components.
For engineers reviewing the MAX111BEAP+ datasheet, MAX111BEAP+ pinout, MAX111BEAP+ application, or MAX111BEAP+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for each specification, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented functional differences, and supply-chain support tailored for industrial data-acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The MAX111BEAP+ implements a first-order sigma-delta modulator with internal voltage-to-current conversion, integrator, comparator, 1-bit DAC, and up/down counter-enabling noise-shaping and oversampling at selectable fOSC (0.25–1.25MHz). Its 16-bit serial output includes sign (POL), overrange (OFL), and 14 data bits (MSB-first), formatted in twos-complement for direct microcontroller interpretation.
Conversion timing is programmable via CONV1–CONV4 control bits, supporting synchronous conversion times from 10.24 ms to 204.8 ms (10,240–102,400 clock cycles). Internal auto-calibration operates under µP control and corrects both offset and gain errors without external trim components or reference adjustments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | ±14-bit + sign + overrange bit (16-bit serial output); supports no-missing-codes operation across full input range. |
| Differential Input Range | ±1.5V (with VREF+ = 1.5V, VREF− = 0V); enables direct sensing of bipolar transducer outputs like load cells. |
| Linearity (INL) | ±0.05% FSR (max); ensures ≤1 LSB error over ±1.2V span-critical for 0.01% accuracy weigh-scale designs. |
| Supply Current | 640 µA typical (active), 4 µA in power-down; allows battery-powered remote sensors to operate >1 year on AA cells. |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 50 conversions/sec (20 ms min); sufficient for 50/60 Hz line-cycle synchronized sampling in process control. |
| Power-Supply Rejection | 15 ppm/V (typical); maintains accuracy despite ±5% VDD variation-no LDO required in cost-sensitive industrial PCBs. |
| 50/60 Hz Rejection | Integrated digital filtering rejects mains interference without external notch filters or firmware averaging. |
Pinout & Package
MAX111BEAP+ is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), pin-compatible with industry-standard through-hole prototyping and legacy industrial controllers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1+, IN1− | Differential Channel 1 Analog Input | Accepts ±1.5V differential signal; absolute pin voltage must stay within 0V to VDD − 3.2V (0–1.8V @ VDD = 5V). |
| IN2+, IN2− | Differential Channel 2 Analog Input | Second independent 2-wire sensor interface; shares same reference and conversion engine as IN1. |
| REF+, REF− | Reference Voltage Inputs | VREF = VREF+ − VREF− sets full-scale range; default 1.5V (REF+ = 1.5V, REF− = 0V) enables ±1.5V input span. |
| VDD | Positive Supply | +5V ±5% supply; powers all analog and digital circuitry; no negative rail required (unlike MAX110). |
| GND | Digital Ground | Return path for digital I/O (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT, BUSY); separate from analog ground in layout best practice. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for serial interface; rising edge triggers conversion if NO-OP = 1 in prior control word. |
| SCLK | Serial Clock | TTL/CMOS-compatible input (DC–2 MHz); controls data shift-in/out timing; falling edge clocks DOUT, rising edge clocks DIN. |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Accepts 16-bit control word (NO-OP, CONV bits, CAL, PD, etc.) to configure conversion mode and power state. |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | High-impedance when CS high; outputs 16-bit result (POL, OFL, D13–D0) MSB-first during CS low. |
| BUSY | Conversion Status Flag | Active-low open-drain output; goes low at conversion start, high at completion-used for interrupt-driven µP polling. |
| RCSEL | Oversampling Clock Source Select | Connect to VDD for internal RC oscillator (≈1 MHz); connect to GND for external XCLK input (TTL/CMOS). |
| XCLK | Oversampling Clock I/O | Input in external-clock mode; output of internal RC oscillator when RCSEL = VDD; requires ≤1 MΩ pull-up/down. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX111BEAP+?
The MAX111BEAP+ is specified for −40°C to +85°C operation (industrial grade), matching the 'E' suffix in its ordering code. This range ensures reliable performance in factory-floor controllers, outdoor environmental monitors, and unregulated enclosure applications where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits. All electrical characteristics-including linearity, supply current, and conversion time-are guaranteed across this full span.
Does MAX111BEAP+ require an external reference voltage?
No-MAX111BEAP+ operates with an internal reference configuration using VREF+ = 1.5V and VREF− = 0V by default, establishing a ±1.5V differential input range. An external reference may be applied across REF+ and REF− to scale full-scale range, but it is not required. The device draws only 500 nA reference current, minimizing loading on external sources.
How does the auto-calibration function work in MAX111BEAP+?
MAX111BEAP+ supports two-point auto-calibration (offset null and gain adjust) initiated via the CAL bit in the control register. When triggered, the ADC internally shorts inputs to reference points and measures system error, updating internal correction coefficients. Calibration completes in <100 ms and requires no external components-enabling field recalibration during maintenance or temperature drift compensation.
Can MAX111BEAP+ interface directly with an Arduino or STM32 microcontroller?
Yes-MAX111BEAP+ uses standard SPI-compatible timing (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and TTL/CMOS logic levels, allowing direct connection to Arduino (via hardware SPI pins) or STM32 (using SPI peripheral in master mode). BUSY pin enables interrupt-driven reads, and the 16-bit static shift register tolerates variable clock rates-simplifying firmware integration without tight timing constraints.
What is the purpose of the OFL (overrange) bit in MAX111BEAP+ output?
The OFL bit in MAX111BEAP+ output indicates when the analog input exceeds ±VREF (±1.5V). It is set before hard saturation-typically at ±1.8V-providing early warning of out-of-range conditions. Unlike saturation flags in flash ADCs, OFL remains valid even during overload, enabling graceful software handling (e.g., range switching or alarm triggering) without data corruption.
