Product details
Overview
MAX11324ATJ+ from Maxim Integrated is a 10-bit, 8-channel SAR analog-to-digital converter with post-mux external signal conditioning access, 1Msps conversion rate, ±0.4 LSB INL, 61.5dB SINAD at 100kHz, and operation from 2.35V to 3.6V supply. It enables flexible multichannel acquisition in battery-powered industrial sensors and portable medical monitors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11324ATJ+ datasheet, MAX11324ATJ+ pinout, MAX11324ATJ+ application, or MAX11324ATJ+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world interface constraints, channel sequencing behavior under SampleSet™ mode, and validated alternative options for high-precision, low-power data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The MAX11324ATJ+ implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated 8-channel analog multiplexer and externally accessible AOP/AON (mux outputs) and AIP/AIN (ADC inputs), enabling external signal conditioning between mux and ADC core-even for differential signals. It supports both internal clock mode (with 16-entry FIFO and programmable averaging) and external clock mode (with SampleSet™ sequencer supporting up to 256-channel sequences).
Input configuration is software-selectable per channel: single-ended, fully differential, or pseudo-differential relative to a common input. Bipolar input ranges (±VREF+/2 or ±VREF+) are set via RANGE bit; reference is externally supplied (1V to VDD) with differential REF+/REF− inputs. The device uses a 3-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface operating up to 16MHz with CPOL=CPHA=1.

Pinout & Package
MAX11324ATJ+ is housed in a 32-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN package with exposed pad (EP), optimized for thermal performance and PCB space efficiency in compact portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AOP | Multiplexer positive output | Provides buffered, time-aligned analog signal post-mux for external filtering/gain before ADC core |
| AON | Multiplexer negative output | Enables differential signal conditioning upstream of ADC input stage |
| AIP | ADC positive input | Direct connection point to SAR core; accepts conditioned single-ended or differential signals |
| AIN | ADC negative input | Completes differential input path; must be driven with matched impedance for optimal THD |
| AIN0–AIN7 | Analog input channels | Eight dedicated single-ended inputs; configurable as pseudo-differential pairs sharing AINx or AOP/AON |
| REF+, REF− | Differential reference inputs | Accept external 1V–VDD reference; REF− can double as AIN15 in 16-channel variants (not applicable to MAX11324) |
| CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT | 3-wire SPI interface | CPOL=CPHA=1 timing; DOUT delivers 16-bit frame (4-bit channel ID + 12-bit result) with CHAN_ID=1 enabled |
| CNVST | Active-low conversion start | Edge-triggered command; initiates sampling on falling edge and synchronizes internal acquisition timing |
| EOC | End-of-conversion indicator | Asserted low after conversion completes (internal clock mode only); used for interrupt-driven readout |
| VDD, OVDD, DGND, GND, EP | Power and ground | VDD (2.35–3.6V analog supply), OVDD (1.5–3.6V I/O supply), separate analog/digital grounds, EP tied to GND for thermal stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Post-Mux Signal Access (AOP/AON/AIP/AIN) | Enables external PGA/filter between mux and ADC-critical for noise-sensitive differential sensor front-ends without degrading SNR |
| SampleSet™ Channel Sequencer | Allows user-defined 256-step sequence per acquisition frame, eliminating MCU polling overhead in mixed-rate multichannel systems |
| Internal FIFO (16-entry) | Decouples high-speed sampling (1Msps) from slower host readout, enabling burst capture and deterministic latency control |
| Configurable Input Topology | Per-channel selection of single-ended, fully differential, or pseudo-differential modes-supports diverse sensor types (RTDs, strain gauges, current shunts) on one device |
| AutoShutdown & Fast Wake-up | Reduces supply current to 1.5µA in full shutdown; resumes conversion in <2µs-ideal for wake-on-event sensor nodes |
| Bipolar Input Ranges | Software-selectable ±VREF+/2 or ±VREF+ ranges simplify interfacing with bipolar transducer outputs without external level-shifting |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit, multichannel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8684IPWR | 16-bit resolution, 500ksps, SPI interface, integrated reference, no post-mux access | Higher precision but lower speed; lacks external signal conditioning flexibility | Select when absolute accuracy >12-bit is required and external conditioning is handled upstream |
| AD7928BRUZ | 12-bit, 8-channel, 1Msps, no FIFO, no SampleSet™, 2.7–5.25V supply | Similar speed/channel count but no internal sequencer or mux-output access; wider supply range | Select when system uses fixed channel order and external buffering is unnecessary |
Compared with ADS8684IPWR and AD7928BRUZ, MAX11324ATJ+ uniquely combines 1Msps throughput, post-mux signal access, and SampleSet™ programmability-making it optimal for resource-constrained, mixed-signal embedded systems requiring adaptive multichannel acquisition without host CPU intervention.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by MAX11324ATJ+?
The MAX11324ATJ+ supports a maximum conversion rate of 1 million samples per second (1Msps) in both internal and external clock modes. At this rate, the device achieves 61.5dB SINAD at 100kHz input frequency and consumes 5.4mW from a 3V supply. Conversion time is 1000ns in externally clocked mode with 16MHz SCLK, or 5.9µs in internally clocked mode.
Does MAX11324ATJ+ support differential input configurations?
Yes, MAX11324ATJ+ supports fully differential, pseudo-differential, and single-ended input configurations per channel. Fully differential mode uses AIP/AIN pins with ±VREF+/2 or ±VREF+ ranges; pseudo-differential mode references inputs to a common AINx pin. The device maintains ±0.4 LSB INL and 61.5dB SINAD in all modes when properly terminated.
How does the SampleSet™ technology work in MAX11324ATJ+?
SampleSet™ is a user-programmable channel sequencer in MAX11324ATJ+ that allows defining custom acquisition sequences up to 256 steps. Each step specifies channel number, input mode, and range-enabling mixed-rate sampling (e.g., fast temperature + slow humidity) without MCU involvement. Sequences are loaded via SPI and executed autonomously in external clock mode.
What is the purpose of AOP and AON pins on MAX11324ATJ+?
AOP and AON are the positive and negative outputs of the internal analog multiplexer in MAX11324ATJ+. They provide time-aligned, buffered signals post-mux but pre-ADC, allowing external circuitry (e.g., anti-alias filters, PGAs, or isolation amplifiers) to condition signals before digitization-preserving SNR and enabling differential processing even for single-ended sensor sources.
Is MAX11324ATJ+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX1132x family?
MAX11324ATJ+ shares the same 32-pin TQFN package and pinout with MAX11321, MAX11322, MAX11325, and MAX11328. However, channel count differs: MAX11324 is 8-channel, while MAX11321/MAX11322 are 4-channel and MAX11327/MAX11328 are 16-channel. Pin functions (e.g., AIN0–AIN7 vs. AIN0–AIN13) and internal register maps vary accordingly-hardware layout is reusable, but firmware must match channel count.
