Product details
Overview
MAX1169CCUD+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 16-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with I²C-compatible 2-wire serial interface, internal 4MHz clock, and +4.096V reference. It operates from a single +4.75V to +5.25V analog supply, consumes 5mW at 58.6ksps, and supports unipolar conversion on a single analog input for precision measurement in space-constrained portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1169CCUD+ datasheet, MAX1169CCUD+ pinout, MAX1169CCUD+ application, or MAX1169CCUD+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-chain support tailored for battery-powered instrumentation and remote sensing deployments.
Technical Context
The MAX1169CCUD+ implements SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold (T/H), using its internal 4MHz oscillator to drive conversion timing. Acquisition occurs over two SCL cycles before conversion, with T/H switch resistance (800Ω) and input capacitance (35pF) defining source impedance limits (≤2kΩ at 1.7MHz SCL).
Its dual-supply design separates AVDD (+4.75V to +5.25V) and DVDD (+2.7V to +5.5V), enabling direct interfacing with low-voltage logic while maintaining analog noise isolation. AutoShutdown™ reduces analog supply current to <50µA at 1ksps by powering down the internal reference and conversion circuitry between samples.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 discrete output codes for high-fidelity signal digitization in precision monitoring applications. |
| Sampling Rate | 58.6ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~33kHz full-linear bandwidth (SINAD > 81dB) without aliasing when properly filtered. |
| SINAD | 86–90dB - corresponds to effective resolution of ~14.7 bits, critical for accurate dynamic signal analysis in medical or test equipment. |
| INL (Max) | ±2 LSB - ensures monotonicity and linearity error ≤ ±0.003% of full scale, supporting calibration-free operation in system supervision. |
| Power @ 58.6ksps | 5.0mW total (IAVDD ≈ 1.8mA, IDVDD ≈ 400µA) - allows continuous high-speed sampling in solar-powered remote nodes with minimal thermal impact. |
| I²C Modes | Fast Mode (400kHz) and High-Speed Mode (1.7MHz) - supports flexible host MCU integration, with clock stretching during conversion to guarantee data integrity. |
| Reference | +4.096V internal (±35ppm/°C TC) or external 1V–VAVDD - provides stable scaling for ratiometric measurements and eliminates need for external reference ICs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1169CCUD+ is housed in a 14-pin TSSOP package (3.0mm × 4.4mm, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and lead-free, optimized for compact PCB layouts in handheld and embedded systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DGND (Pin 1) | Digital Ground Reference | Return path for digital I/O; must be isolated from AGND except at single-point star ground to prevent digital noise coupling into analog domain. |
| SCL (Pin 2) | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock controlling I²C timing; held low (stretched) during conversion to synchronize data readout after result is ready. |
| SDA (Pin 3) | Serial Data I/O | Bidirectional open-drain bus line requiring external pull-up; carries address, command, and 16-bit conversion result in MSB-first format. |
| ADD2–ADD0 (Pins 4–6) | Address Select Inputs | Program lower 3 bits of 7-bit slave address (011xxxx); combined with ADD3 (Pin 14), enable up to 16 devices on same I²C bus without address conflict. |
| DVDD (Pin 7) | Digital Supply Voltage | +2.7V to +5.5V logic supply; powers I²C interface and control logic-decoupled with 0.1µF capacitor to DGND for noise immunity. |
| AVDD (Pin 8) | Analog Supply Voltage | +4.75V to +5.25V analog rail; powers SAR core, T/H, and reference-requires separate 0.1µF bypass to AGND to preserve SNR. |
| AGND (Pin 9) | Analog Ground Reference | Low-noise return for analog circuitry; must be physically separated from DGND and connected only at clean system ground point. |
| AIN (Pin 10) | Analog Input | Single-ended unipolar input (0V to VREF); accepts up to 4MHz small-signal bandwidth but requires anti-alias filtering for Nyquist compliance. |
| AGNDS (Pin 11) | Analog Signal Ground | Negative reference for AIN; tied directly to AGND to define input common-mode level and minimize offset drift. |
| REFADJ (Pin 12) | Reference Buffer Control | Connect to AVDD to disable internal bandgap and use external reference; bypassed with 0.1µF to AGND to stabilize buffer output. |
| REF (Pin 13) | Reference Output/Input | Delivers +4.096V (internal) or accepts external 1V–VAVDD reference; bypassed with 10µF to AGND to suppress switching noise and ensure stable conversion gain. |
| ADD3 (Pin 14) | MSB Address Select | Programs bit 3 of slave address; together with ADD2–ADD0, sets unique I²C address (factory MSBs = 011) for multi-device bus configurations. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX1169CCUD+?
The MAX1169CCUD+ achieves a maximum sampling rate of 58.6ksps in I²C High-Speed Mode (1.7MHz SCL). This requires proper bus timing compliance-including minimum tLOW (320ns) and tHIGH (120ns)-and clock stretching support from the master controller. At 400kHz Fast Mode, the rate drops to 19ksps.
Does the MAX1169CCUD+ require an external clock source?
No, the MAX1169CCUD+ contains an internal 4MHz oscillator that drives the SAR conversion clock. External clocks are not needed or supported-the device relies entirely on its on-chip timing generator for conversion, simplifying layout and improving reliability in noisy environments.
Can the MAX1169CCUD+ operate with a 3.3V digital supply while using a 5V analog supply?
Yes, the MAX1169CCUD+ supports independent DVDD (+2.7V to +5.5V) and AVDD (+4.75V to +5.25V) rails. Using DVDD = 3.3V with AVDD = 5.0V is fully specified and commonly implemented to interface with 3.3V microcontrollers while preserving analog performance and SNR.
How does AutoShutdown™ reduce power consumption in the MAX1169CCUD+?
AutoShutdown™ powers down the internal reference and conversion circuitry between conversions. At 1ksps throughput, MAX1169CCUD+ draws less than 50µA from AVDD-dropping total power to 0.23mW. In full shutdown (R/W = 0, no conversion), analog supply current falls to 0.4–5µA, enabling multi-year battery life in intermittent-sampling applications.
What is the function of the REFADJ pin on the MAX1169CCUD+?
The REFADJ pin serves dual roles: (1) as the output of the internal reference buffer (bypassed with 0.1µF to AGND), and (2) as the enable/disable control for the internal bandgap. Pulling REFADJ to AVDD disables the internal reference, allowing use of an external 1V–VAVDD reference applied to the REF pin-providing flexibility for custom scaling or improved TC performance.
