Product details
Overview
MAX11338ATJ+T from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, 4-channel SAR analog-to-digital converter with external differential reference support, 500ksps conversion rate, ±0.4 LSB INL, 61.5dB SINAD at 100kHz, and operates from 2.35V to 3.6V supply consuming only 4.2mW at full speed. It enables high-precision multichannel data acquisition in battery-powered industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11338ATJ+T datasheet, MAX11338ATJ+T pinout, MAX11338ATJ+T application, or MAX11338ATJ+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its SampleSet™ programmable channel sequencing, post-mux signal access for external conditioning, internal FIFO, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire interface with channel ID output.
Technical Context
The MAX11338ATJ+T implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with dual clock modes: internally clocked (with integrated 16-entry FIFO and averaging) and externally clocked (enabling SampleSet™ user-defined 256-step channel sequences). Its analog front-end supports single-ended, fully differential, and pseudo-differential input configurations per channel via software-selectable RANGE bit.
It provides direct external access to both multiplexer outputs (AOP/AON) and ADC inputs (AIP/AIN), enabling insertion of external gain stages, filters, or PGAs between mux and ADC. Reference inputs accept 1V to VDD differential voltage, and digital I/O operates independently at 1.5V–3.6V (OVDD), decoupled from analog supply (VDD).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - delivers 1024 discrete output codes for medium-precision measurement systems |
| Conversion Rate | 500ksps - supports real-time sampling of signals up to 250kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| INL / DNL | ±0.4 LSB / no missing codes - ensures monotonicity and <0.1% end-point linearity error |
| SINAD | 61.5dB at 100kHz - corresponds to ~10.2 effective bits for clean AC signal digitization |
| Supply Current | 2mA at 500ksps (VDD = 3V) - enables low-power operation in portable instrumentation |
| Reference Input | Differential REF+/REF−, 1V to VDD - allows ratiometric or precision external reference integration |

Pinout & Package
MAX11338ATJ+T is housed in a 32-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN package with exposed pad (EP), optimized for thermal performance and PCB space efficiency in compact sensor modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN3 | Analog Input Channels | Four dedicated single-ended or configurable differential input pins; support unipolar/bipolar ranges |
| AOP / AON | Multiplexer Output Terminals | Provide buffered analog output of selected channel pre-ADC; enable external signal conditioning |
| AIP / AIN | ADC Input Terminals | Direct connection points to SAR core; require external buffering if driving high-impedance sources |
| REF+ / REF− | Differential Reference Inputs | Accept external reference voltage pair; REF+ must be ≥1V and ≤VDD + 50mV |
| VDD / OVDD | Analog / Digital Power Supplies | VDD (2.35–3.6V) powers analog circuitry; OVDD (1.5–3.6V) powers digital I/O-supports mixed-voltage interfacing |

| EOC | End-of-Conversion Indicator | Active-low pulse signaling valid data ready (internal clock mode only); simplifies timing-critical readout |
| CNVST | Conversion Start Trigger | Edge-sensitive input initiating sample-and-hold; supports hardware-synchronized acquisition across multiple devices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SampleSet™ Technology | User-programmable 256-step channel sequence eliminates MCU polling overhead in multichannel monitoring |
| Post-Mux Signal Access | AOP/AON and AIP/AIN pins allow insertion of external filter/PGA between mux and ADC for differential signal integrity |
| Internal FIFO (16-entry) | Enables burst sampling at 500ksps while reading out at slower system clock rates-decouples acquisition from processing |
| Bipolar Input Ranges | Software-selectable ±VREF+/2 or ±VREF+ ranges simplify interfacing with bipolar transducer outputs |
| AutoShutdown™ Mode | Reduces supply current to 2.1µW (VDD = 2.35V) during idle periods-extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8684IPWR | 16-bit resolution, 500ksps, internal reference, SPI interface; no post-mux access or SampleSet™ | Better DC accuracy for precision instrumentation; lacks flexible external signal conditioning path | Select when absolute accuracy >12-bit is required and external analog conditioning is handled upstream |
| AD7928BRUZ | 12-bit, 8-channel, 1MSPS, no FIFO, no SampleSet™, requires external reference; 28-TSSOP package | Higher speed but no channel sequencing flexibility; larger footprint and no AOP/AON pins | Select when higher throughput is critical and board space permits larger package with simpler routing |
Compared with ADS8684IPWR and AD7928BRUZ, the MAX11338ATJ+T uniquely combines 10-bit precision with programmable sequencing, post-mux signal access, and ultra-low power-making it optimal for resource-constrained, multichannel edge sensing where signal path flexibility matters more than raw resolution.

The MAX11338ATJ+T supports a maximum conversion rate of 500ksps in both internal and external clock modes. At this rate, the device achieves 61.5dB SINAD at 100kHz input frequency and consumes 4.2mW from a 3V supply. Conversion time is 2000ns in external clock mode with 8MHz SCLK, or 5.9µs in internal clock mode.
Does the MAX11338ATJ+T support differential input configurations?
Yes, the MAX11338ATJ+T supports fully differential, pseudo-differential, and single-ended analog inputs. It provides dedicated AOP/AON (mux outputs) and AIP/AIN (ADC inputs) pins to enable external differential signal conditioning. Input pairs can be configured in bipolar ranges of ±VREF+/2 or ±VREF+ via the RANGE bit.
How does the SampleSet™ feature work in the MAX11338ATJ+T?
SampleSet™ is a user-programmable channel sequencer allowing up to 256 unique steps of analog input selection, gain, and range settings. The sequence is loaded into internal memory and executed autonomously-reducing microcontroller communication overhead and enabling mixed-rate sampling (e.g., fast temperature + slow voltage reads) without CPU intervention.
What package type and pin count does the MAX11338ATJ+T use?
The MAX11338ATJ+T uses a 32-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN package with exposed pad (EP). Pinout includes four analog inputs (AIN0–AIN3), mux/ADC interface pins (AOP/AON/AIP/AIN), differential reference inputs (REF+/REF−), dual supplies (VDD/OVDD), and standard 3-wire SPI signals (CS/SCLK/DIN/DOUT/EOC/CNVST).
