Product details
Overview
MAX11666AUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a 12-bit, dual-channel, single-ended successive-approximation ADC with 500ksps throughput, 72.5dB SNR, and 2.2V–3.6V supply operation. It features external reference input (REF), separate digital I/O supply (OVDD), and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface - designed for high-accuracy sensor signal digitization in space-constrained industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11666AUB+ datasheet, MAX11666AUB+ pinout, MAX11666AUB+ application, or MAX11666AUB+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-channel 12-bit resolution, external reference support, -40°C to +125°C operation, low 3.3mW power consumption at full speed, and 10-pin FMAX-EP package with exposed pad grounded per spec.
Technical Context
The MAX11666AUB+ implements a fully differential sample-and-hold architecture with internal clock generation and no pipeline delay. Its dual analog inputs (AIN1/AIN2) are routed through a 2:1 MUX to a single 12-bit SAR core, enabling channel-selectable conversion without interleaving artifacts.
It supports independent OVDD (1.5V–3.6V) for digital interface voltage scaling and accepts an external reference (REF) from 1V to VDD+0.05V. Timing is controlled via CS-active-low frame synchronization and SCLK-driven serial output, with aperture jitter of 15ps and acquisition time of 52ns.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7953IRHBT | 12-bit, 8-channel, SPI interface; 1 MSPS; requires external reference; 32-pin VQFN. | Higher channel count and speed but larger footprint and higher power (12 mW). | Select when multi-channel expansion beyond two inputs is needed and PCB area permits larger package. |
| AD7476AARMZ | 12-bit, single-channel, SPI interface; 1 MSPS; internal reference only; 8-pin MSOP. | Lacks dual-input capability and external REF support; lower integration for simple single-sensor use cases. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-channel designs where external reference flexibility is not required. |
Compared with ADS7953IRHBT and AD7476AARMZ, the MAX11666AUB+ uniquely balances dual-channel functionality, external reference support, ultra-low power (3.3 mW), and compact 10-pin FMAX-EP packaging - making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained dual-sensor systems operating across extended temperature ranges.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX11666AUB+?
The MAX11666AUB+ supports a maximum throughput rate of 500 ksps, corresponding to a minimum conversion time of 1.56 µs. This rate is achievable with an SCLK frequency up to 8 MHz and proper timing margins per the datasheet's t2–t8 specifications. The device exhibits no pipeline delay, ensuring deterministic latency critical for real-time control loops.
Does the MAX11666AUB+ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the MAX11666AUB+ requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin for full specified accuracy. It accepts 1 V to VDD+0.05 V, and the analog input range is 0 V to VREF. Unlike single-channel variants in the same family, the MAX11666AUB+ does not generate an internal reference - REF must be supplied externally.
What is the purpose of the OVDD pin on the MAX11666AUB+?
The OVDD pin on the MAX11666AUB+ supplies power to the digital interface (SCLK, CS, CHSEL, DOUT), allowing independent voltage scaling from 1.5 V to 3.6 V. This enables direct connection to low-voltage microcontrollers (e.g., 1.8 V or 2.5 V I/O domains) without level-shifting circuitry, reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
Can the MAX11666AUB+ operate over the full automotive temperature range?
Yes, the MAX11666AUB+ is fully specified and tested over -40°C to +125°C, meeting requirements for under-hood and cabin automotive applications. Its guaranteed DC accuracy (INL ±1 LSB, DNL no missing codes) and dynamic performance (72.5 dB SNR typical) are maintained across this range, with power-down current remaining ≤10 µA at +125°C.
How is channel selection implemented on the MAX11666AUB+?
Channel selection on the MAX11666AUB+ is performed using the CHSEL pin: logic low selects AIN1, logic high selects AIN2. The selected channel is sampled on the falling edge of CS, and conversion proceeds immediately. This hardware-controlled mux eliminates software overhead and ensures deterministic inter-channel timing alignment.
