Product details
Overview
MAX1136EUA+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 4-channel, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated track/hold, 4.096V internal reference, I²C-compatible 2-wire serial interface, and operation from 4.5V to 5.5V single supply. It delivers 94.4ksps throughput at 670µA, supports unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/differential input configurations, and targets battery-powered test equipment and portable medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1136EUA+ datasheet, MAX1136EUA+ pinout, MAX1136EUA+ application, or MAX1136EUA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin µMAX package, guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation, software-configurable analog input modes, internal reference accuracy (±1 LSB INL), and I²C high-speed mode support up to 1.7MHz.
Technical Context
The MAX1136EUA+ employs successive-approximation architecture with fully differential track/hold circuitry and an internal 2.8MHz clock. Its analog front-end supports four single-ended or two fully differential inputs, configurable via software-controlled setup and configuration registers over I²C.
It features AutoShutdown™ enabling sub-1µA quiescent current at low throughput, internal FIFO with channel-scan mode, and programmable acquisition timing tied to I²C clock edges-ensuring precise sampling synchronization in resource-constrained embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - delivers 1024 discrete digital codes for precision measurement of analog sensor or signal sources. |
| Sampling Rate | 94.4ksps max - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~3MHz full-power bandwidth (SINAD > 57dB). |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V logic and industrial power rails without level-shifting. |
| Internal Reference | 4.096V ±1% - provides stable, factory-trimmed scaling for consistent ADC full-scale range across temperature. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.1% end-point linearity error critical for closed-loop control feedback. |
| I²C Interface | Up to 1.7MHz high-speed mode - reduces conversion readout latency and supports multi-device bus sharing. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in field-deployed portable instrumentation and remote monitoring systems. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1136EUA+ is housed in an 8-pin µMAX® package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. Thermal pad on underside improves power dissipation in continuous conversion mode.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | AIN0–AIN2 | Analog input channels 0–2 - accept single-ended or differential signals referenced to GND or internal VREF. |
| 4 | AIN3/REF | Configurable terminal: analog input 3 or reference voltage output/input - selected via Setup Register bit SEL[2:1]. |
| 5 | SCL | I²C clock input - synchronizes all data transfers; supports fast mode (400kHz) and high-speed mode (1.7MHz). |
| 6 | SDA | I²C bidirectional data line - carries setup bytes, configuration commands, and 10-bit conversion results. |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 8 | VDD | Positive supply input - requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stable ADC performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AutoShutdown™ | Reduces supply current to <1µA between conversions - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like remote sensors. |
| Software-Configurable Input Modes | Single-ended/differential and unipolar/bipolar selection via I²C register writes - eliminates external component changes during firmware updates. |
| Internal Track/Hold & Clock | Eliminates need for external sample-hold IC or clock generator - simplifies BOM and PCB layout in compact handheld devices. |
| Channel-Scan FIFO | Automatically sequences through up to 4 inputs and buffers results - enables synchronized multi-sensor acquisition without host CPU intervention. |
| Low Source Impedance Tolerance | Accurate sampling with ≤1.5kΩ source impedance - allows direct connection to resistive sensors or op-amp outputs without buffering. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1137EUA+ | Same 4-channel, 10-bit architecture but 2.048V internal reference and 2.7–3.6V supply range. | Optimized for 3.3V systems (e.g., ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers); lower full-scale range reduces dynamic range for high-voltage sensing. | Select when operating from 3.3V rails and requiring identical pinout/functionality with reduced reference voltage. |
| ADS7822U | 8-pin SOIC, 12-bit resolution, SPI interface, 3.3V-only supply (2.7–3.6V), no internal reference. | Requires external reference and level-shifting for 5V systems; higher resolution trades off speed (up to 50ksps) and interface compatibility. | Choose for higher precision in 3.3V designs where SPI is preferred and external reference is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX1137EUA+, the MAX1136EUA+ offers higher full-scale input range and 5V compatibility but sacrifices 3.3V native operation; versus ADS7822U, it provides I²C simplicity and integrated reference at the cost of resolution and interface flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX1136EUA+ and under what conditions is it achieved?
The MAX1136EUA+ achieves a maximum sampling rate of 94.4ksps when operating in I²C high-speed mode (1.7MHz SCL) with external clocking and the internal reference enabled. This rate assumes VDD = 5V, TA = +25°C, and unipolar single-ended input configuration. At lower clock frequencies or in fast mode (400kHz), throughput drops to 22.2ksps.
Does the MAX1136EUA+ require an external reference voltage, or does it include an internal one?
The MAX1136EUA+ includes a factory-trimmed 4.096V internal reference, eliminating the need for an external reference in most applications. It also supports external reference voltages from 1V to VDD, allowing users to optimize full-scale range or improve accuracy with a precision external source. The internal reference is enabled by default after power-up.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1136EUA+ support, and how are they configured?
The MAX1136EUA+ supports four analog input channels (AIN0–AIN3). These can be used in single-ended mode (each referenced to GND) or as two fully differential pairs (AIN0–AIN1, AIN2–AIN3), selected via the SGL/DIF bit in the configuration byte. Input mode, polarity (unipolar/bipolar), and channel selection are all software-configurable over I²C.
What package type is used for the MAX1136EUA+, and what are its key mechanical characteristics?
The MAX1136EUA+ uses an 8-pin µMAX® package (3mm × 3mm body, 0.5mm lead pitch), with exposed thermal pad on the underside. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package supports reflow soldering and provides enhanced thermal performance for sustained conversion duty cycles in compact handheld enclosures.
Can the MAX1136EUA+ operate from a 3.3V supply, or is it strictly a 5V device?
The MAX1136EUA+ is specified only for 4.5V to 5.5V single-supply operation and must not be operated below 4.5V. For 3.3V systems, the pin-compatible MAX1137EUA+ (2.048V reference, 2.7–3.6V supply) is the designated alternative within the same family - both share identical 8-pin µMAX packaging and register map.
