Product details
Overview
MAX111BEWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 2-channel, ±14-bit serial analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal auto-calibration, operating from a single +5V supply and delivering 0.05% linearity over ±1.5V differential input range. It achieves up to 50 conversions/sec, features 50Hz/60Hz rejection, and consumes only 640µA active current and 4µA in power-down mode-ideal for precision battery-powered data acquisition and panel metering.
For engineers reviewing the MAX111BEWE+ datasheet, MAX111BEWE+ pinout, MAX111BEWE+ application, or MAX111BEWE+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin wide SO package, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility, differential input architecture, ±14-bit resolution with sign and overrange bits, and built-in 50Hz/60Hz noise rejection for industrial sensing environments.
Technical Context
The MAX111BEWE+ implements a first-order sigma-delta architecture with integrated voltage-to-current conversion, integrator, comparator, and 1-bit DAC feedback loop. Its oversampling clock (fOSC) supports divide-by-1/2/4 modes, enabling configurable conversion time and noise attenuation across 10,240–102,400 clock cycles per conversion.
It uses a 16-bit serial output format (sign bit, overrange bit, 14 data bits, MSB-first) compatible with SPI (CPHA=0, CPOL=0), QSPI, and MICROWIRE interfaces. Internal auto-calibration corrects both offset and gain errors under µP control, eliminating need for external trim components while maintaining ±0.05% INL over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | ±14-bit plus sign and overrange bit - delivers 32,768 distinct codes across ±VREF range with overflow detection |
| Differential Input Range | ±1.5V - supports high-accuracy measurement of bipolar sensor outputs without level-shifting circuitry |
| Linearity (INL) | ±0.05% FSR - ensures monotonicity and <±1 LSB error across full scale at room temperature |
| Supply Current | 640µA active / 4µA shutdown - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in remote monitoring systems |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 50 conversions/sec - balances speed and noise rejection for low-frequency process signals |
| Power Supply | +5V single supply - simplifies system power design versus dual-supply alternatives like MAX110 |
| 50/60Hz Rejection | Integrated digital filtering - eliminates mains-induced noise without external notch filters or software averaging |
Pinout & Package
MAX111BEWE+ is housed in a 16-pin wide SO (SOIC-W) surface-mount package with standard 0.3-inch body width and 0.050-inch lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1+, IN1- | Differential analog input channel 1 | Accepts ±1.5V differential signal; absolute pin voltage must stay within 0V to VDD–3.2V |
| IN2+, IN2- | Differential analog input channel 2 | Second independent 2-wire input pair; shares same reference and timing resources |
| REF+, REF- | Differential reference input | Sets full-scale range; VREF = VREF+ – VREF-; default 1.5V for ±1.5V input span |
| CS | Chip-select input | Active-low enable for serial interface; rising edge initiates conversion when NO-OP = 1 |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | TTL/CMOS-compatible; controls data transfer timing; DC to 2MHz operation supported |
| DIN | Serial data input | Loads 16-bit control word (NO-OP, CONV bits, CAL, PD, etc.) on SCLK rising edge |
| DOUT | Serial data output | 3-state output; shifts out 16-bit result (POL/OFL/D13–D0) on SCLK falling edge |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-low open-drain output; asserts low at conversion start, releases high at completion |
| VDD | Positive supply | +5V ±5% main power rail; powers analog and digital sections |
| GND | Digital ground | Return path for digital I/O; separate from analog ground in layout-sensitive designs |
| RCSEL | Oversampling clock source select | High = internal RC oscillator; low = external clock applied to XCLK pin |
| XCLK | Oversampling clock I/O | Input for external clock or output for internal RC oscillator; requires ≤1MΩ pull-up/down in RC mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal auto-calibration | Corrects offset and gain errors under µP control-eliminates manual trimming and reduces calibration overhead in production test |
| No external components required | Full functionality with only decoupling capacitors-reduces BOM count, PCB area, and failure points in space-constrained modules |
| 50Hz/60Hz rejection | Hardware-based digital filtering synchronized to line frequency-enables clean measurements in electrically noisy factory environments |
| Two differential input channels | Independent channel switching via CHS bit-supports multiplexed sensor arrays without external analog switches or mux drivers |
| Low-power shutdown mode | 4µA quiescent current with full state retention-facilitates wake-on-event architectures in portable instrumentation |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IDGSR | 16-bit delta-sigma ADC, I²C interface, internal 2.048V reference, programmable gain amplifier (PGA) | Requires I²C host; PGA enables small-signal measurement without external amplification | Select when system already uses I²C and needs programmable gain; not drop-in for SPI-based MAX111BEWE+ designs |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX111BEWE+?
The MAX111BEWE+ is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade). This range is confirmed by the "E" suffix in the part number and aligns with the MAX111E temperature grade listed in the ordering information table. The device maintains ±0.05% INL and 640µA supply current performance across this full range, making it suitable for deployment in harsh environmental conditions without derating.
Does MAX111BEWE+ require external calibration components?
No, MAX111BEWE+ does not require external calibration components. Its internal auto-calibration circuitry corrects both offset and gain errors under microprocessor control, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Features sections. This capability eliminates the need for external trimpots, precision resistors, or laser-trimmed references-reducing BOM cost and improving long-term stability in production systems.
How is the reference voltage configured on MAX111BEWE+?
The MAX111BEWE+ uses a differential reference input (REF+ and REF– pins), where VREF = VREF+ – VREF–. For standard ±1.5V input range operation, a 1.5V reference is applied (e.g., REF+ = 1.5V, REF– = 0V). The absolute voltage on each pin must remain within 0V to VDD–3.2V. Reference current is ±500nA, allowing use of low-power voltage references or resistor-divider networks without significant loading error.
Can MAX111BEWE+ interface directly with an 8051 microcontroller?
Yes, MAX111BEWE+ can interface directly with an 8051 microcontroller. The datasheet includes dedicated application diagrams (Figure 7c) showing connections to the 80C51/80C32 family using Port 1 pins for CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT, and BUSY. Its SPI-compatible interface (CPHA=0, CPOL=0), DC–2MHz SCLK tolerance, and 3-state DOUT ensure reliable communication without additional level-shifting or buffering.
What is the function of the BUSY pin on MAX111BEWE+?
The BUSY pin on MAX111BEWE+ is an active-low, open-drain output that signals conversion status: it goes low at conversion start and returns high upon completion. It enables interrupt-driven data retrieval-freeing the microcontroller during conversion-and supports daisy-chained configurations where BUSY from one device triggers CS on the next. Its timing is guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage, with tDO and tDH parameters fully characterized in the datasheet.
