Product details
Overview
MAX11621EEE+T from Maxim Integrated is a 10-bit, 300ksps serial analog-to-digital converter with integrated 2.5V reference, 8-channel single-ended analog multiplexer, 16-entry FIFO, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible interface. It operates from a +2.7V to +3.6V supply and targets precision system supervision and industrial data acquisition where low power, on-chip averaging, and scan-mode operation are required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11621EEE+T datasheet, MAX11621EEE+T pinout, MAX11621EEE+T application, or MAX11621EEE+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, confirmed QSOP-16 package mapping, validated 16-pin terminal roles, real-world use cases in patient monitoring and instrumentation, and two technically documented alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The MAX11621EEE+T implements a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with on-chip track-and-hold, supporting unipolar 0–2.5V input range referenced to GND. Its internal oscillator enables autonomous scan mode at up to 300ksps, while the 16-deep FIFO decouples conversion from serial readout.
It features four programmable clock modes-including CNVST-triggered internal timing (mode 00) and externally clocked high-speed acquisition (mode 11)-and supports internal averaging across up to 16 samples per result to improve SNR in noisy environments.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7953IRHBT | 12-bit resolution, 1MSPS, 16-channel, SPI interface, no internal reference; requires external 2.5V REF | Higher resolution and speed but larger 32-pin VQFN package; no FIFO or AutoShutdown™ | Select when >10-bit ENOB or >300ksps throughput is required; verify REF sourcing and layout for higher speed |
| AD7476ARTZ-REEL7 | 12-bit, 1MSPS, single-channel, no FIFO, no internal reference, 6-pin SOT-23 package | Compact size and speed trade off channel count, FIFO, and integrated reference functionality | Choose only for single-signal, space-constrained designs where external multiplexing and REF are already implemented |
Compared with ADS7953IRHBT and AD7476ARTZ-REEL7, MAX11621EEE+T uniquely combines 8-channel capability, on-chip 2.5V reference, 16-deep FIFO, and sub-5µA shutdown in a 16-pin QSOP-making it optimal for compact, low-power, multi-sensor embedded systems where integration reduces BOM count and layout complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate achievable with MAX11621EEE+T?
The MAX11621EEE+T achieves a maximum sampling rate of 300ksps when using an external SCLK up to 10MHz in clock mode 11. In internally clocked modes (00, 01, 10), the rate depends on the programmed oscillator frequency and scan configuration, typically ranging from 10ksps to 100ksps. The MAX11621EEE+T datasheet specifies timing limits for each mode, including tCONV and tACQ dependencies on source impedance.
Does MAX11621EEE+T require an external reference voltage?
No, MAX11621EEE+T does not require an external reference voltage-it integrates a precision 2.50V ±20mV internal reference with ±30ppm/°C temperature coefficient. However, it supports external reference operation from 1.0V to VDD, enabling custom full-scale ranges. When using the internal reference, REF pin must be bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
How many analog input channels does MAX11621EEE+T support?
MAX11621EEE+T supports 8 single-ended analog input channels: AIN0 through AIN7. Pin 8 functions as either CNVST (active-low conversion start) or AIN7, depending on the CNVST_EN bit setting in the setup register. AIN4–AIN6 are no-connect (N.C.) pins on this variant and must remain unconnected.
What package type is used for MAX11621EEE+T?
MAX11621EEE+T is supplied in a 16-pin QSOP (Quad Small Outline Package) with 0.154" body width and 0.025" lead pitch. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package is designated by the "+T" suffix and is compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes. Thermal resistance is θJA = 105°C/W on a 4-layer board.
Can MAX11621EEE+T operate with a 5V supply?
No, MAX11621EEE+T is specified only for +2.7V to +3.6V supply operation. It belongs to the low-voltage variant group (MAX11619/MAX11621/MAX11625) with 2.5V internal reference. Using a 5V supply exceeds absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. For 4.75–5.25V operation, consider the pin-compatible MAX11620EEE+T (same 8-channel QSOP-16, 4.096V reference).
