Product details
Overview
MAX11284ETL+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-channel, 24-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with integrated programmable-gain amplifiers (PGAs), delivering 131dB SNR at 31.25sps in buffer mode and ±1.8V split-supply operation for bipolar input support. It dissipates only 3.6mW per ADC channel and achieves guaranteed 4ppm INL and –120dB THD, enabling high-precision DC/AC measurements in seismic data acquisition and portable medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11284ETL+ datasheet, MAX11284ETL+ pinout, MAX11284ETL+ application, or MAX11284ETL+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual 24-bit resolution with on-chip PGA gain selection (1×–128×), SPI-compatible serial interface, 40-pin TQFN package, and configurable digital filtering (SINC + FIR + IIR) supporting sample rates up to 4ksps.
Technical Context
The MAX11284ETL+ implements a dual independent delta-sigma modulator architecture with separate analog front-ends per channel, each featuring a low-noise (9.1nV/√Hz) or low-power (13.6nV/√Hz) PGA and optional input buffers. Its digital filter chain supports programmable SINC, FIR, and IIR stages with selectable linear or minimum-phase response and a user-configurable high-pass corner down to 0.000375×fDATA.
Each ADC channel operates from independent analog supplies (AVDD_A/AVSS_A and AVDD_B/AVSS_B), allowing mixed single-supply (2.7V–3.6V) or split-supply (±1.8V) configurations, while digital supplies (DVDD_A/DVDD_B) support 2.0V–3.6V logic compatibility. The device includes two general-purpose I/Os (GPIO_A/B), dedicated SYNC/RSTB pins per channel, and RDYB outputs for conversion status signaling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1282IPWR | Single-channel 24-bit delta-sigma ADC; 128ksps max; no integrated PGA; fixed 5V analog supply | Lacks dual-channel parallel acquisition and PGA flexibility; requires external signal conditioning for low-level sensors | Choose ADS1282IPWR when single-channel throughput >4ksps is required and external PGA design is acceptable |
| AD7177-2BRUZ | Dual-channel 32-bit delta-sigma ADC; 10ksps max; integrated PGA; 2.5V–5.5V DVDD; higher power (12mW) | Higher resolution and speed but consumes >3× more power; less suitable for ultra-low-power portable designs | Choose AD7177-2BRUZ when 32-bit resolution and 10ksps are mandatory and power budget allows ≥12mW per channel |
Compared with ADS1282IPWR and AD7177-2BRUZ, the MAX11284ETL+ uniquely balances dual-channel 24-bit precision, integrated PGA configurability, and sub-4mW power consumption - making it optimal for battery-constrained, multi-sensor instrumentation where channel synchronization and low-noise gain staging are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the MAX11284ETL+?
The MAX11284ETL+ supports a maximum sample rate of 4ksps per channel when using the FIR filter. At lower data rates (e.g., 31.25sps), it achieves its highest SNR of 131dB in buffer mode. The device allows independent configuration of digital filter type (SINC/FIR/IIR) and data rate per channel, with FIR filter output rates programmable from 31.25sps to 4ksps.
Does the MAX11284ETL+ support bipolar input voltage ranges?
Yes, the MAX11284ETL+ supports true bipolar input operation via its split-supply capability: analog supplies can be configured as ±1.8V (AVDD = +1.8V, AVSS = –1.8V), enabling differential input ranges from –VREF to +VREF. In this mode, the analog inputs (AINP/AINN) accept signals below ground, which is essential for applications like seismic transducers and AC-coupled sensor interfaces.
How does the PGA on the MAX11284ETL+ operate in low-noise versus low-power mode?
The MAX11284ETL+ PGA offers two distinct operating modes: low-noise mode (9.1nV/√Hz input voltage noise) and low-power mode (13.6nV/√Hz). Both support identical gain settings (1×–128×), but low-noise mode draws ~2.3mA per channel (AVDD), while low-power mode draws ~1.7mA. Mode selection is controlled via register bits and affects both noise floor and quiescent current - critical for optimizing SNR vs. battery life trade-offs.
Can the MAX11284ETL+ be used with external reference voltages?
Yes, the MAX11284ETL+ accepts external reference voltages applied to REFP_A/REFN_A and REFP_B/REFN_B. The reference span must be between 2.0V and VAVDD, and the common-mode voltage must satisfy (VAVSS + 1V) ≤ (REFP + REFN)/2 ≤ (VAVDD + VAVSS)/2 + 0.1V. External references enable system-level ratiometric accuracy and improved stability compared to internal references - commonly used in metrology and calibration equipment.
What is the purpose of the CAPN_A/CAPP_A and CAPN_B/CAPP_B pins on the MAX11284ETL+?
The CAPN_A/CAPP_A and CAPN_B/CAPP_B pins on the MAX11284ETL+ connect to external 10nF C0G capacitors that form the feedback network for the integrated PGA's chopper-stabilized filter stage. These pins are essential for stabilizing the PGA's DC offset and noise performance - omitting or mis-sizing these capacitors degrades INL, offset drift, and THD. Each pair must be placed as close as possible to the respective pins with matched layout.
