Product details
Overview
MAX11666AUB/V+ from Maxim Integrated is a 12-bit, dual-channel, single-ended successive approximation ADC with 500ksps throughput, 72.5dB SNR, and operation from 2.2V to 3.6V supply. It features external reference input (REF), separate digital I/O supply (OVDD), and 10-pin FMAX-EP package. Designed for automotive-grade signal acquisition in battery-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11666AUB/V+ datasheet, MAX11666AUB/V+ pinout, MAX11666AUB/V+ application, or MAX11666AUB/V+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive qualification (-40°C to +125°C), dual-channel crosstalk rejection (-90dB), 1.3µA power-down current, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface requiring no level-shifting logic.
Technical Context
The MAX11666AUB/V+ integrates a high-dynamic-range sample-and-hold circuit and supports full-scale analog input from 0V to VREF (1V to VDD + 0.05V). Its dual-input architecture uses an internal 2:1 MUX to route AIN1 or AIN2 to the ADC core, enabling time-multiplexed sampling without external switching.
It implements a 3-wire serial interface with CS, SCLK, and DOUT - compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols at up to 8MHz clock frequency. The device supports variable I/O voltage (1.5V to 3.6V on OVDD) and includes dedicated AGND and GND pins for analog/digital separation.

Pinout & Package
MAX11666AUB/V+ is housed in a 10-pin FMAX-EP package (3mm × 5mm, exposed pad), thermally enhanced for automotive environments. The exposed pad must be connected to AGND for proper operation and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - AIN1 | Analog Input Channel 1 | Single-ended input referenced to AGND; accepts 0V to VREF range; used for primary sensor channel |
| 2 - AIN2 | Analog Input Channel 2 | Single-ended input referenced to AGND; identical electrical specs to AIN1; selected via CHSEL |

| 4 - AGND | Analog Ground | Reference return for analog circuitry; must be isolated from digital ground except at single-point connection |
| 5 - CHSEL | Channel Select Input | Logic-controlled selection between AIN1 (low) and AIN2 (high); sampled at CS falling edge |
| 6 - REF | External Reference Input | Accepts 1V to (VDD + 0.05V); sets full-scale range; improves accuracy vs. internal VDD-based reference |
| 7 - CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for serial interface; initiates conversion on falling edge; controls DOUT three-state behavior |
| 8 - SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Up to 8 MHz clock; defines timing for data transfer and conversion control; 40–60% duty cycle required |
| 9 - DOUT | Serial Data Output | 3-state CMOS output; MSB-first 12-bit result; high-impedance when CS is high or during acquisition |
| 10 - VDD | Analog/Digital Core Supply | 2.2V–3.6V main supply powering ADC core, reference buffer, and internal logic; decoupling required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX11664AUB+ | 10-bit resolution, same package and pinout; lower SNR (61.6 dB), higher INL (±0.5 LSB) | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial sensing where 10-bit precision suffices | Select MAX11664AUB+ only if system SNR budget permits ≥10 dB degradation and 12-bit linearity is not required |
| ADS7953IRHBT | 12-bit, 8-channel, SPI interface; 1 MSPS rate; requires external reference; 32-pin VQFN | Better channel count but larger footprint and higher power (1.5 mW active, 10 µA shutdown) | Choose ADS7953IRHBT only when >2 channels are needed and board space allows 5×5 mm QFN |
Compared with MAX11664AUB+, MAX11666AUB/V+ provides 2 extra bits of resolution and 11 dB higher SNR at identical power and footprint; versus ADS7953IRHBT, it offers smaller size and lower shutdown current but fewer channels and lower max throughput.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX11666AUB/V+?
The MAX11666AUB/V+ is rated for continuous operation from -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This specification is guaranteed per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments with wide thermal excursions. The /V+ suffix explicitly denotes this automotive qualification.
Does MAX11666AUB/V+ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, MAX11666AUB/V+ supports - and is designed to use - an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin. The REF input accepts 1V to (VDD + 0.05V) and sets the full-scale range for both AIN1 and AIN2. Using an external reference improves accuracy and stability compared to relying on the internal VDD-based reference, especially in noisy or varying supply conditions.
Can MAX11666AUB/V+ interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller?
Yes, MAX11666AUB/V+ can interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller via its OVDD pin. By supplying 1.8V to OVDD, the SCLK, CS, CHSEL, and DOUT signals operate at 1.8V logic levels - eliminating the need for external level shifters. The VDD supply (2.2V–3.6V) remains independent for analog performance, preserving SNR and linearity.
What is the maximum serial clock frequency supported by MAX11666AUB/V+?
The MAX11666AUB/V+ supports a maximum serial clock (SCLK) frequency of 8 MHz, as specified in its electrical characteristics table. At this rate and with 50% duty cycle, the device achieves its full 500 ksps throughput. Timing parameters such as t4 (data access time) and t7 (data hold time) are validated up to this frequency, ensuring reliable communication with standard SPI peripherals.
How does the CHSEL pin function in MAX11666AUB/V+?
The CHSEL pin on MAX11666AUB/V+ selects which analog input channel is converted: AIN1 when CHSEL is low, and AIN2 when CHSEL is high. The channel selection is latched on the falling edge of CS, enabling deterministic, software-controlled channel sequencing without interrupting the conversion flow. This eliminates the need for external multiplexers in dual-sensor systems.
