Product details
Overview
MAX11605EEE+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-bit, 12-channel, low-power analog-to-digital converter with integrated track/hold, 2.048V internal reference, I²C-compatible 2-wire serial interface, and operation from a single 2.7V–3.6V supply. It delivers 188ksps throughput with 350µA supply current and supports software-configurable unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differential input modes. It is used in battery-powered sensor monitoring and portable instrumentation where compact size and ultra-low quiescent power are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11605EEE+T datasheet, MAX11605EEE+T pinout, MAX11605EEE+T application, or MAX11605EEE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12-channel count, ±1 LSB total unadjusted error (TUE), 16-pin QSOP package, 2.048V internal reference, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX11605EEE+T employs successive-approximation architecture with integrated track/hold capacitor and switched-capacitor DAC. Its analog input multiplexer supports up to 12 single-ended or 6 pseudo-differential channels, with channel selection controlled via CS[3:0] bits in the configuration register.
It operates in either internal clock mode (2.25MHz) or external clock mode (up to 1.7MHz I²C high-speed mode), with conversion time fixed at 4.7µs (external clock) or 6.1µs (internal clock). The device features AutoShutdown™, reducing supply current to <1µA between conversions at low throughput rates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - provides 256 discrete digital output levels for moderate-precision sensing applications. |
| Total Unadjusted Error (TUE) | ±1 LSB - ensures end-point accuracy within one least-significant bit over temperature without calibration. |
| Input Channels | 12 single-ended or 6 pseudo-differential - enables multi-sensor acquisition without external MUX, reducing BOM and layout complexity. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - compatible with standard Li-ion/Li-poly battery systems and 3.3V logic domains. |
| Internal Reference | 2.048V ±6% - optimized for integer-ratio scaling with 8-bit resolution (2.048V / 256 = 8mV/LSB), simplifying firmware scaling. |
| Max Throughput Rate | 188ksps - supports real-time sampling of signals up to ~94kHz (Nyquist), suitable for vibration, audio envelope, or fast thermal monitoring. |
| Supply Current @ 188ksps | 350µA - enables >1-year operation on a 200mAh coin cell when duty-cycled at 10ksps (8µA avg). |
Pinout & Package
MAX11605EEE+T is housed in a 16-pin QSOP (Quad Small Outline Package) with 0.154" body width and 0.025" lead pitch, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining hand-solderability and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | AIN11/REF | Configurable terminal: serves as analog input channel 11 or reference input/output depending on SEL[2:1] bits; requires 0.01µF decoupling when used as REF. |
| 2–10 | AIN0–AIN8 | Primary analog input channels; support software-selectable unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differential modes. |
| 11–12 | AIN9–AIN10 | Additional analog inputs completing the 12-channel set; share same electrical specs and configuration flexibility as AIN0–AIN8. |
| 13 | SCL | I²C serial clock input; supports Fast Mode (400kHz) and High-Speed Mode (1.7MHz); requires external pull-up resistor. |
| 14 | SDA | I²C bidirectional data line; open-drain output; shares bus with other I²C peripherals; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| 15 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to minimize noise coupling into ADC core. |
| 16 | VDD | Positive supply input; bypassed to GND with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AutoShutdown™ | Reduces IDD to <1µA between conversions - eliminates need for external enable control in intermittent-sampling applications. |
| Software-Configurable Input Modes | Single-ended (12 ch) or pseudo-differential (6 ch), unipolar/bipolar - enables reuse across diverse sensor types (RTDs, thermocouples, bridge sensors) without hardware change. |
| Integrated 2.048V Reference | 120ppm/°C tempco, ±6% initial tolerance - eliminates external reference IC, saving board area and cost while maintaining 8-bit linearity. |
| I²C High-Speed Mode Support | 1.7MHz clock rate - cuts conversion readout time by >4× vs. standard mode, improving system responsiveness in closed-loop control. |
| Internal FIFO with Channel-Scan Mode | 12-byte RAM buffer - allows autonomous scanning of all 12 channels with single I²C transaction, reducing MCU intervention overhead. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit, 4-channel, SPI interface, 3.3V-only supply, no internal reference - requires external 2.5V ref and level-shifting for mixed-voltage systems. | Limited to 4 inputs; lacks channel-scan FIFO and AutoShutdown - increases firmware overhead and power management complexity. | Select when SPI is preferred over I²C and channel count is ≤4; not drop-in due to interface, pinout, and reference differences. |
| MAX11603EEE+ | 8-bit, 8-channel, identical 16-pin QSOP package, 2.048V internal reference, same I²C timing and power specs - differs only in channel count and top-mark. | Supports fewer analog sources; suitable where 8 channels suffice and board layout re-use is prioritized. | Drop-in replacement if system uses ≤8 analog inputs; identical footprint, supply, and interface simplify redesign. |
Compared with MAX11605EEE+T, the MAX11603EEE+ offers identical performance per channel but reduces input count from 12 to 8 - advantageous for cost-sensitive or space-constrained designs with lower channel requirements; the ADS7822U trades I²C simplicity for SPI compatibility and lacks integrated reference, increasing BOM and design effort.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX11605EEE+T?
The MAX11605EEE+T achieves a maximum sampling rate of 188ksps when using an external clock in I²C high-speed mode. At this rate, it draws 350µA from a 2.7V–3.6V supply. Lower throughput rates reduce current consumption - e.g., 8µA at 10ksps - thanks to AutoShutdown™ operation between conversions.
Does the MAX11605EEE+T require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX11605EEE+T includes a factory-trimmed 2.048V internal reference with ±6% initial accuracy and 120ppm/°C temperature coefficient. It can also operate with an external reference from 1V to VDD, but the internal reference eliminates the need for external components in most 8-bit applications.
How many analog input channels does the MAX11605EEE+T support?
The MAX11605EEE+T supports 12 single-ended analog input channels (AIN0–AIN11) or 6 pseudo-differential pairs. Channel selection is software-configurable via the CS[3:0] bits in the configuration register, and the device includes an internal FIFO to enable automatic scanning of all channels in sequence.
What package type is used for the MAX11605EEE+T?
The MAX11605EEE+T is supplied in a 16-pin QSOP (Quad Small Outline Package) with 0.154" body width. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package provides robust thermal performance and solderability while occupying minimal PCB area - ideal for portable and space-constrained designs.
Is the MAX11605EEE+T compatible with standard I²C buses?
Yes, the MAX11605EEE+T implements a fully compliant I²C interface supporting both Fast Mode (400kHz) and High-Speed Mode (1.7MHz).
