Product details
Overview
MAX114CNG+ from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor-compatible, 8-bit, 4-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using half-flash architecture to achieve 1 Msps sampling rate and 660 ns conversion time. It operates from a single +5V supply, features an internal track/hold, ratiometric reference support, and 1 µA power-down current - enabling burst-mode data acquisition in portable instrumentation and remote sensing systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX114CNG+ datasheet, MAX114CNG+ pinout, MAX114CNG+ application, or MAX114CNG+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world interface timing, channel selection logic, power-down recovery behavior, and validated alternatives for high-speed, low-power 8-bit ADC selection in embedded measurement systems.
Technical Context
The MAX114CNG+ implements a two-stage half-flash conversion: a 4-bit flash ADC generates the MSBs and drives an internal DAC to produce a residue voltage, which a second 4-bit flash stage converts into the LSBs - achieving full 8-bit resolution with only 15 comparators. Its analog multiplexer selects among four single-ended input channels (IN1–IN4) under A0–A2 address control.
Digital interface supports two modes: Read Mode (MODE = GND) uses RD as conversion trigger and RDY as status output; Write-Read Mode (MODE = VDD) initiates conversion on WR falling edge and latches MSBs before LSBs complete, enabling pipelined operation when WR and RD are tied. Conversion completes in ≤660 ns with tACQ ≥160 ns acquisition time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - delivers 256 discrete digital codes over full-scale input range. |
| Sampling Rate | 1 Msps - supports real-time digitization of signals up to 500 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| Conversion Time | 660 ns - enables tight timing budgets in burst-sampling systems with minimal latency. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ≤ ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and no missing codes across temperature and supply variation. |
| Power-Down Current | 1 µA typical - reduces system-level standby power by >99% versus active mode (8–20 mA). |
| Input Full-Power Bandwidth | 1 MHz - allows accurate digitization of fast-rising transients without slew-induced error. |
| Reference Input Range | REF− = GND to REF+ ≤ VDD - supports ratiometric measurement when REF+ ties to sensor supply. |
Pinout & Package
MAX114CNG+ is housed in a 24-pin narrow plastic DIP (0.300" width), RoHS-compliant and lead-free per + suffix. Pin layout matches industry-standard 24-DIP footprint with 0.1" row spacing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 24) | Positive supply input | +5V ±5% main power rail; requires 4.7µF + 0.1µF bypassing to GND. |
| PWRDN (Pin 23) | Power-down enable | Logic-low entry into 1 µA standby; wake-up delay ≤200 ns + 360 ns acquisition. |
| A0–A2 (Pins 22, 21, -) | Multiplexer address inputs | Select IN1–IN4 (000–011); A2 unconnected on MAX114 (4-channel variant). |
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 5, 3, 2, 1) | Analog input channels | Single-ended, 32 pF input capacitance; max source impedance 800 Ω for tACQ = 160 ns. |
| REF+ (Pin 14), REF− (Pin 13) | Reference voltage terminals | Define full-scale (REF+) and zero-code (REF−) points; internal 1 kΩ divider draws current even in PWRDN. |
| CS (Pin 16), RD (Pin 10), WR/RDY (Pin 15) | Digital control interface | Active-low chip select; RD triggers conversion in Read Mode; WR initiates in Write-Read Mode; RDY is open-collector status. |
| D0–D7 (Pins 6, 7, 8, 9, 17, 18, 19, 20) | Three-state parallel data outputs | Latched, bus-compatible outputs; high-impedance when CS high or during conversion. |
| INT (Pin 11) | Interrupt output | Open-drain end-of-conversion flag; asserts low at completion, resets on rising CS or RD edge. |
| GND (Pin 12) | Analog/digital ground | Common return for VDD, REF−, and signal references; separate AGND/DGND not required. |
| MODE (Pin 5) | Interface mode select | Ground = Read Mode (RD-triggered); VDD = Write-Read Mode (WR-triggered with pipelining capability). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Half-flash conversion architecture | Reduces comparator count to 15 while maintaining 8-bit accuracy and 660 ns speed - lowering die area and dynamic power vs. full-flash. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit, multi-channel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX115CNG+ | Pin-compatible 4-channel upgrade with 10-bit resolution, 2.5 µs conversion, and 2.7–5.25V supply range. | Higher resolution required for precision sensor scaling; wider supply tolerance for mixed-voltage systems. | Choose MAX115CNG+ when 10-bit accuracy outweighs 3.8× slower conversion and higher cost. |
| ADS7822U | 8-bit, 200 ksps SAR ADC in MSOP-8; serial SPI interface; 2.7–5.25V operation; 1.2 µA standby. | Space-constrained designs needing serial interface and smaller footprint; lower throughput acceptable. | Choose ADS7822U for PCB area savings and SPI compatibility, but verify 200 ksps meets sampling requirement. |
Compared with MAX114CNG+, MAX115CNG+ trades speed for resolution and supply flexibility, while ADS7822U sacrifices parallel interface and throughput for size and serial simplicity - making MAX114CNG+ optimal for µP-based 1 Msps systems requiring minimal external logic and proven DIP reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate achievable with MAX114CNG+ in Write-Read Mode?
The MAX114CNG+ achieves a maximum sampling rate of 1.23 Msps in Write-Read Mode with tRD < tINTL timing (tWR = 250 ns, tRD = 250 ns, tRI = 150 ns, tACQ = 160 ns). This assumes optimal external timing control and accounts for pipelined operation where WR and RD are coordinated to overlap conversion and read cycles - delivering sustained throughput exceeding the nominal 1 Msps rating.
Does MAX114CNG+ require an external clock source?
No, MAX114CNG+ does not require an external clock. All timing is generated internally using the half-flash architecture's control logic. The device relies solely on digital control signals (CS, RD, WR, MODE) for synchronization - eliminating clock distribution complexity and jitter sensitivity in µP-coupled systems.
How does the power-down mode affect reference current consumption in MAX114CNG+?
In MAX114CNG+ power-down mode, the internal 1 kΩ reference resistor between REF+ and REF− remains active, drawing current even at 1 µA total VDD supply current. To minimize reference load, an external N-channel MOSFET (e.g., IRML2402) can switch REF− to GND during PWRDN - reducing quiescent reference current to near-zero while preserving fast wake-up capability.
Can MAX114CNG+ interface directly with a 3.3V microprocessor data bus?
MAX114CNG+ digital outputs are 5V-tolerant and three-state, but its output high voltage (VOH) is specified at minimum 3.5V under 360 µA load - compatible with 3.3V µP inputs having VIH ≤ 3.5V. However, level-shifting is recommended if the µP requires strict 3.3V logic thresholds, as VOL ≤ 0.4V ensures reliable low-level recognition without added risk.
What is the purpose of the MODE pin on MAX114CNG+ and how should it be configured?
The MODE pin on MAX114CNG+ selects between Read Mode (MODE = GND) and Write-Read Mode (MODE = VDD). In Read Mode, RD initiates conversion and WR/RDY acts as RDY status output. In Write-Read Mode, WR starts conversion and INT signals completion - enabling pipelined operation. Tie MODE permanently to GND or VDD; do not float, as internal 50 µA pull-down ensures default Read Mode if left unconnected.
