Product details
Overview
MAX11611EEE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 10-bit, 12-channel, low-power analog-to-digital converter with integrated track/hold, 2.048V internal reference, I²C-compatible 2-wire interface, and single-supply operation from 2.7V to 3.6V. It delivers 94.4ksps throughput with 670µA supply current and supports software-configurable unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/differential input modes. It is used in battery-powered remote monitoring systems requiring precision, low power, and compact integration.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11611EEE+ datasheet, MAX11611EEE+ pinout, MAX11611EEE+ application, or MAX11611EEE+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with functional distinctions, and supply-chain support details specific to the 16-pin QSOP package and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade.
Technical Context
The MAX11611EEE+ employs successive-approximation architecture with a fully differential track-and-hold circuit and switched-capacitor DAC. Its 2-wire serial interface operates in Fast Mode (400kHz) or High-Speed Mode (1.7MHz), where the latter enables full 94.4ksps throughput and requires master-initiated mode switching via 0000 1XXX code.
Analog input configuration is controlled by setup and configuration registers: SGL/DIF bit selects single-ended (4–12 channels) or differential (2–6 channels); BIP/UNI bit enables bipolar (±VREF/2) or unipolar (0 to VREF) range only in differential mode. Internal reference (2.048V) or external reference (1V to VDD) can be selected via register bits, with REF pin serving as input or output depending on SEL[2:1] settings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - delivers 1024 discrete digital codes for precise quantization of analog sensor or signal inputs. |
| Input Channels | 12 single-ended or 6 fully differential - supports multiplexed sensing across multiple physical inputs without external mux hardware. |
| Sampling Rate | 94.4ksps max (external clock, HS mode) - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~3MHz bandwidth (SINAD > 57dB). |
| Supply Current | 670µA at 94.4ksps; <1µA in AutoShutdown™ - reduces average power in duty-cycled data acquisition systems. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.048V internal (±0.04V over temp) - provides stable scaling for unipolar 0–2.048V or bipolar ±1.024V full-scale ranges. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity, ±1 LSB differential nonlinearity - ensures monotonicity and <0.1% end-point accuracy after calibration. |
| I²C Interface | 1.7MHz High-Speed Mode compatible - allows rapid register access and conversion result reads without CPU polling overhead. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX11611EEE+ is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal performance and RoHS compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 8–12 | AIN0–AIN11 | 12 analog input terminals; software-mapped for single-ended or differential pairs (e.g., AIN0+/AIN1−) via CS[3:0] and SGL/DIF control. |
| 5 | AIN11/REF | Configurable terminal: serves as AIN11 in standard mode or reference I/O when SEL[2:1]=11; requires 0.1µF decoupling if used as REF output. |
| 6 | SCL | Serial clock input - controls timing of I²C read/write cycles; supports 400kHz Fast Mode and 1.7MHz High-Speed Mode. |
| 7 | SDA | Serial data bidirectional line - carries setup bytes, conversion results, and ACK/NACK signals per I²C protocol. |
| 13 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to minimize noise coupling into ADC core. |
| 14 | VDD | Positive supply (2.7V–3.6V) - requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND adjacent to pin for stable internal reference and T/H operation. |
| 15, 16 | N.C. | No internal connection - left unconnected; no routing or termination required on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AutoShutdown™ | Reduces supply current to <1µA between conversions - eliminates need for external enable control in low-duty-cycle sensor logging. |
| Internal FIFO with Channel-Scan Mode | Automatically sequences through up to 12 channels and stores results - enables burst acquisition without host intervention or timing-critical software loops. |
| Software-Configurable Input Modes | Single-ended/differential and unipolar/bipolar selection via register bits - adapts to diverse sensor outputs (e.g., thermocouples, RTDs, voltage rails) without hardware changes. |
| Integrated 2.048V Reference | 25ppm/°C tempco, 1.968V–2.128V tolerance at +25°C - removes external reference IC, saves board space, and improves system-level accuracy stability. |
| Low Source Impedance Tolerance | Accurate sampling with ≤1.5kΩ source impedance - avoids mandatory op-amp buffering for many industrial sensors and resistive transducers. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Remote Monitoring | Solar-Powered Environmental Sensing |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX11610EEE+ | Same 12-channel QSOP package and pinout, but features 4.096V internal reference and 4.5V–5.5V supply range. | Designed for 5V systems; incompatible with 3.3V logic or 2.7V–3.6V battery rails without level shifting or regulator changes. | Select MAX11610EEE+ only when operating from 5V supply and requiring higher full-scale input range (0–4.096V). |
| ADS7953IRHBT | 12-channel, 10-bit SAR ADC with SPI interface, 2.7V–5.25V supply, and 1MSPS max rate; no integrated reference. | Lacks internal reference and I²C interface - requires external 2.048V reference and GPIO/SPI host driver; higher speed but larger footprint. | Choose ADS7953IRHBT when SPI is preferred, higher throughput (>94.4ksps) is needed, or existing design already uses SPI peripherals. |
Compared with MAX11610EEE+, the MAX11611EEE+ enables direct 3.3V-system integration and lower supply current at equivalent throughput; compared with ADS7953IRHBT, it reduces BOM count and simplifies firmware by eliminating external reference and using standard I²C instead of SPI.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX11611EEE+?
The MAX11611EEE+ achieves a maximum sampling rate of 94.4ksps when using an external clock in High-Speed I²C Mode (1.7MHz). This requires the bus master to first issue the HS-mode master code (0000 1XXX) to enable the faster timing. At this rate, the device draws 670µA typical supply current and maintains 60dB SINAD performance.
Does the MAX11611EEE+ require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX11611EEE+ does not require an external reference voltage because it integrates a factory-trimmed 2.048V internal reference with 25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. However, it supports optional external reference input from 1V to VDD via the AIN11/REF pin when higher precision or custom full-scale ranges are needed.
Can the MAX11611EEE+ operate with a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX11611EEE+ is specified to operate from 2.7V to 3.6V, making it fully compatible with standard 3.3V logic and power domains. Its internal 2.048V reference and I²C interface levels are designed for direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters.
How many analog input channels does the MAX11611EEE+ support?
The MAX11611EEE+ supports 12 single-ended analog input channels (AIN0–AIN11) or 6 fully differential input pairs. Channel selection and input mode (single-ended vs. differential, unipolar vs. bipolar) are configured entirely through its I²C-accessible setup and configuration registers.
What package type is used for the MAX11611EEE+?
The MAX11611EEE+ is supplied in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm body, 0.65mm lead pitch) with RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and provides adequate thermal dissipation for its 670µA typical operating current.
