Product details
Overview
The MAX113CNG from Maxim Integrated is a +3V, 4-channel, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using half-flash architecture to achieve 1.8µs conversion time (400ksps), 1µA power-down current, and integrated track/hold - designed for battery-powered data acquisition in portable instrumentation and system-health monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX113CNG datasheet, MAX113CNG pinout, MAX113CNG application, or MAX113CNG equivalent, this device supports ratiometric operation with REF+/REF− inputs, direct 8-bit parallel µP interface via latched three-state outputs, and burst-mode power management via PWRDN - critical for low-duty-cycle sensing systems requiring fast wake-up (<900ns) and minimal supply current.
Technical Context
The MAX113CNG implements a two-stage half-flash conversion: a 4-bit flash ADC generates MSBs and drives an internal DAC to produce a residue voltage, which a second 4-bit flash stage converts to LSBs - achieving 8-bit resolution with only 15 comparators. It uses an internal analog multiplexer controlled by A0–A2 to select among four single-ended input channels (IN1–IN4).
Digital interface operates in Read Mode (MODE = 0) or Write-Read Mode (MODE = 1), supporting memory-mapped or I/O-port µP connection without external logic. WR/RDY serves dual function: write control or ready-status output; INT signals end-of-conversion; PWRDN enables sub-µA shutdown with full recovery in <900ns including track/hold acquisition.

Pinout & Package
MAX113CNG is housed in a 24-pin narrow plastic DIP package (0°C to +70°C operating range), with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting compatibility.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | IN1–IN4 | Analog input channels - accept single-ended signals referenced to REF− |
| 5 | MODE | Interface mode select - low = Read Mode, high = Write-Read Mode |
| 6 | D0 | Data output (LSB) - three-state, latched, directly connects to 8-bit µP data bus |
| 7, 8, 9 | D1–D3 | Data outputs - part of parallel 8-bit output bus with D0–D7 |
| 10 | RD | Read strobe input - initiates data access in Read Mode; controls output enable in Write-Read Mode |
| 11 | INT | Interrupt output - open-collector, active-low signal indicating conversion completion |
| 12 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - common return for VDD, REF−, and inputs |
| 13 | REF− | Reference lower bound - sets zero-code voltage; must be ≥ GND and < REF+ |
| 14 | REF+ | Reference upper bound - sets full-scale voltage; internally connected to IN8 on MAX117 only |
| 15 | WR/RDY | Dual-function pin - write control in Write-Read Mode, ready-status output in Read Mode |
| 16 | CS | Chip-select input - enables WR/RD decoding; must be low for interface activity |
| 17, 18, 19 | D4–D6 | Data outputs - complete 8-bit parallel output path with D0–D3 and D7 |
| 20 | D7 | Data output (MSB) - synchronized with other D0–D6 outputs during valid read window |
| 21, 22 | A1, A0 | Multiplexer address LSBs - select IN1–IN4 with A2 (pin 23) in Read/Write-Read Mode |
| 23 | PWRDN | Power-down control - logic low reduces VDD current to 1µA; wake-up time <900ns |
| 24 | VDD | Positive supply - accepts +3.0V to +3.6V; requires 4.7µF + 0.1µF bypassing to GND |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit, low-power, multi-channel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX114CNG | +5V supply only; identical 4-channel, 8-bit, 1.8µs architecture but higher supply current (3mA active) | Requires 5V rail; not suitable for 3V-only systems or battery operation below 4.5V | Select MAX114CNG only when legacy 5V µP bus and higher speed tolerance justify increased power |
| ADS7822U | 2.7–5.25V supply; SPI interface (not parallel); 1µs conversion; 1.25mW active power vs. MAX113CNG's 4.5mW | Serial interface reduces pin count but adds µP firmware overhead; no native µP bus compatibility | Choose ADS7822U for space-constrained designs where SPI is preferred and µP has no 8-bit parallel port |
Compared with MAX114CNG and ADS7822U, the MAX113CNG uniquely combines 3V operation, parallel µP interface, and 1µA shutdown - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-powered systems needing direct bus connectivity and ultra-low quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX113CNG?
The MAX113CNG is specified for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, matching its "C" grade designation. This commercial-grade temperature range suits indoor portable equipment, consumer instrumentation, and non-automotive industrial applications where extreme thermal stress is absent. The MAX113CNG does not support extended or military temperature ranges - those require MAX113E or MAX113M variants.
How does the MAX113CNG achieve 1.8µs conversion time?
The MAX113CNG achieves 1.8µs conversion time using a half-flash architecture: a 4-bit flash ADC first resolves the MSBs, then an internal DAC generates a residue voltage that a second 4-bit flash stage converts to LSBs. This two-stage approach delivers 8-bit accuracy faster than successive-approximation while using fewer comparators than full-flash - enabling the MAX113CNG to sustain 400ksps throughput in WR-RD mode.
Can the MAX113CNG operate with a 2.5V reference voltage?
Yes, the MAX113CNG supports ratiometric operation with any REF+ and REF− pair within its absolute ratings (GND ≤ REF− < REF+ ≤ VDD). A 2.5V reference applied to REF+ (with REF− = GND) yields a 0–2.5V input range and 9.77mV/LSB step size. The MAX113CNG's internal reference resistance (1kΩ typical) must be considered when sourcing REF+ externally - decoupling capacitors (e.g., 4.7µF + 0.1µF) are mandatory for stability.
What is the purpose of the MODE pin on the MAX113CNG?
The MODE pin on the MAX113CNG selects between two digital interface modes: MODE = 0 configures Read Mode (WR/RDY acts as RDY status output), while MODE = 1 enables Write-Read Mode (WR/RDY acts as write strobe). This flexibility allows the MAX113CNG to interface directly with memory-mapped or I/O-mapped microprocessors without external logic - simplifying PCB layout and firmware design for both legacy and modern µP architectures.
Does the MAX113CNG include input protection diodes?
Yes, the MAX113CNG integrates internal ESD protection diodes on all analog input pins (IN1–IN4), clamping voltages to GND −0.3V and VDD +0.3V. These diodes prevent damage from transient overvoltage but do not guarantee accurate conversion if inputs exceed GND +50mV or VDD −50mV - especially near full-scale or zero-scale codes. For robust front-end protection beyond ±0.3V, external series resistors or TVS devices are recommended alongside the MAX113CNG.
