Product details
Overview
MAX11666AUB/V+T 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, 1.3µA power-down current, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface - designed for high-precision sensor signal acquisition in automotive-grade embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11666AUB/V+T datasheet, MAX11666AUB/V+T pinout, MAX11666AUB/V+T application, or MAX11666AUB/V+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-channel 12-bit resolution, -40°C to +125°C automotive qualification, external reference support, low-noise analog front-end, and µMAX-EP package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX11666AUB/V+T implements a fully differential sample-and-hold stage followed by a 12-bit SAR core, accepting two independent single-ended analog inputs (AIN1/AIN2) routed via an internal 2:1 MUX. Its architecture supports simultaneous channel-to-channel offset matching (±0.4 LSB) and gain matching (±0.05 LSB), enabling accurate differential measurements without external calibration.
It uses a dedicated OVDD pin for digital I/O voltage scaling (1.5V–3.6V), decoupling logic interface levels from analog supply (VDD), and includes an isolated REF input for precision external reference sourcing - distinguishing it from single-channel variants that derive reference internally from VDD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - delivers 1 LSB = VREF/4096 quantization step for high-fidelity sensor digitization |
| Throughput Rate | 500 ksps - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 2.5 MHz full-linear bandwidth (SINAD > 68 dB) |
| SNR | 72.5 dB typical - supports >11.7 effective number of bits (ENOB) at 250 kHz input frequency |
| Power-Down Current | 1.3 µA - minimizes standby power in battery-critical automotive subsystems during sleep modes |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to VREF - accepts externally supplied reference up to VDD + 0.05 V for flexible scaling |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 for under-hood and ADAS sensor interface applications |
| Aperture Jitter | 15 ps - limits sampling uncertainty to <0.03 LSB at 250 kHz, preserving dynamic performance |
Pinout & Package
MAX11666AUB/V+T is housed in a 10-pin µMAX-EP package (3 mm × 5 mm, 0.8 mm height) with exposed pad (EP) requiring connection to AGND for thermal and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - AIN1 | Analog Input Channel 1 | Single-ended input referenced to AGND; 0 V to VREF range; 20 pF track capacitance |
| 2 - AIN2 | Analog Input Channel 2 | Second independent single-ended input; shares same reference and dynamic specs as AIN1 |
| 3 - OVDD | Digital I/O Supply | Independent 1.5V–3.6V rail for SCLK/CS/CHSEL/DOUT - isolates digital noise from analog section |
| 4 - AGND | Analog Ground | Separate ground return for analog circuitry; must be tied to system AGND, not DGND |
| 5 - CHSEL | Channel Select Control | Active-high logic input selecting AIN1 (low) or AIN2 (high); enables sequential dual-channel reads |
| 6 - REF | External Reference Input | High-impedance input accepting 1 V to VDD + 0.05 V; 5 pF capacitance; enables ratiometric or precision absolute measurement |
| 7 - CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for serial interface; falling edge initiates conversion and defines aperture timing |
| 8 - SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Accepts 8 MHz max clock; 40–60% duty cycle; controls bit transfer timing and conversion rate |
| 9 - DOUT | Serial Data Output | 3-state CMOS output; tri-states when CS is high; data valid 15 ns after SCLK falling edge |
| 10 - VDD | Analog/Digital Core Supply | Primary 2.2V–3.6V supply powering SAR core, sample-and-hold, and internal logic; 3.3 mW total active power |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, 12-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7953IRHBT | 12-bit, 8-channel, SPI interface; 1 MSPS; requires external reference; no OVDD pin; 32-pin VQFN | Higher channel count and speed, but larger footprint and higher power (1.2 mW active); lacks automotive qualification | Select for multi-sensor systems needing >2 channels; avoid where AEC-Q100 compliance or µMAX size is mandatory |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX11666AUB/V+T?
The MAX11666AUB/V+T supports a maximum throughput rate of 500 ksps, achieved with an 8 MHz SCLK and 1.56 µs conversion time. This rate is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +125°C operating range and enables full-linear bandwidth up to 2.5 MHz (SINAD > 68 dB). The device maintains this performance without pipeline delay, ensuring deterministic timing for real-time control loops.
Does the MAX11666AUB/V+T require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the MAX11666AUB/V+T requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin. It accepts 1 V to VDD + 0.05 V and is designed for use with precision external references to achieve optimal DC accuracy and ratiometric measurement capability. Unlike single-channel variants (e.g., MAX11665), it does not generate an internal reference - this design choice enables higher accuracy and flexibility in automotive and industrial applications.
What is the purpose of the OVDD pin on the MAX11666AUB/V+T?
The OVDD pin on the MAX11666AUB/V+T supplies power to the digital I/O 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 logic) without level shifters, while maintaining full analog performance. OVDD isolation also prevents digital switching noise from coupling into the sensitive analog section powered by VDD.
How does the MAX11666AUB/V+T handle dual-channel sampling?
The MAX11666AUB/V+T uses an internal 2:1 analog multiplexer controlled by the CHSEL pin to select between AIN1 and AIN2. When CHSEL is low, AIN1 is sampled; when high, AIN2 is sampled. Both channels share identical DC and dynamic specifications - including ±0.4 LSB channel-to-channel offset matching and ±0.05 LSB gain matching - enabling precise differential or sequential measurements without external calibration.
Is the MAX11666AUB/V+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the /V suffix in MAX11666AUB/V+T explicitly denotes AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (-40°C to +125°C), including stress testing for high-temperature operating life (HTOL), electrostatic discharge (ESD), and thermal cycling. This makes it suitable for under-hood, ADAS, and body electronics applications where reliability across extreme environmental conditions is mandatory.
