Product details
Overview
MAX1202BEAP+T from Maxim Integrated is a 12-bit, 8-channel serial analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for mixed 5V analog / 3V digital supply systems. It integrates an on-chip track/hold, SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire serial interface, internal 4.096V reference, and supports unipolar/bipolar input modes with ±1 LSB INL accuracy over temperature. It enables high-accuracy data acquisition in battery-powered instrumentation and medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1202BEAP+T datasheet, MAX1202BEAP+T pinout, MAX1202BEAP+T application, or MAX1202BEAP+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 133ksps sampling rate, software-configurable power-down modes (<10μA), user-adjustable digital output logic levels (2.7V–5.25V via VL pin), and compatibility with TMS320-family DSPs via SSTRB strobe.
Technical Context
The MAX1202BEAP+T employs successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated track/hold, supporting both internal clock (1.7MHz) and external clock (up to 2MHz) operation. Its analog front-end accepts 8 single-ended or 4 pseudo-differential inputs, with input range determined by internal 4.096V reference (±0.5% initial accuracy) and configurable gain via REFADJ.
Digital interfacing uses a 4-wire SPI/MICROWIRE protocol with MSB-first, falling-edge data transfer; SSTRB provides synchronous strobe for TMS320 DSPs. Power management includes two software-selectable power-down modes-fast (30μA) and full (2μA)-with automatic wake-up on serial interface access.

Pinout & Package
MAX1202BEAP+T is housed in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm pitch, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+T suffix). The package measures 7.2mm × 5.3mm × 1.95mm and is rated for extended temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 (Pins 1–8) | Analog Input Channels | Selectable as 8 single-ended or 4 pseudo-differential inputs; input protection clamps to VDD/VSS |
| VSS (Pin 9) | Negative Supply Rail | Accepts 0V (single-supply) or −5V (dual-supply) - sets bipolar input range center point |
| SHDN (Pin 10) | Three-Level Shutdown Control | Low = full shutdown (2μA); open = external compensation mode; VDD = internal compensation |
| REF (Pin 11) | Reference Buffer Output / REF Input | Delivers 4.096V (MAX1202) or accepts external reference; buffered to drive 4.7μF bypass cap |
| REFADJ (Pin 12) | Reference Gain Trim Input | Adjusts internal reference gain (±1.5%) - tied to VDD to disable buffer in external-ref mode |
| GND (Pin 13) | Analog Ground / IN− for SE Mode | Common return for analog circuitry; serves as IN− reference in single-ended conversions |
| VL (Pin 14) | Digital Output Supply | Sets DOUT/SSTRB high-level voltage (2.7V–5.25V) - enables level-shifting without external buffers |
| DOUT (Pin 15) | Serial Data Output | MSB-first, SCLK-falling-edge synchronized; high-impedance when CS = high |
| SSTRB (Pin 16) | Serial Strobe Output | Active-high pulse synchronized to conversion start/end - directly interfaces TMS320 DSP timing |
| DIN (Pin 17) | Serial Data Input | Accepts 8-bit control byte (channel, mode, power-down) - rising-edge sampled |
| CS (Pin 18) | Chip Select | Active-low enable for serial interface; disables DOUT/SSTRB when high |
| SCLK (Pin 19) | Serial Clock Input | Drives data transfer and (in external mode) conversion timing - 40–60% duty cycle required |
| VDD (Pin 20) | Positive Analog Supply | +5V ±5% - powers analog core, reference, and track/hold; tolerant to 6V absolute max |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200ksps, SPI-only interface, no internal reference, requires external 2.5V ref | Lacks internal reference and VL-level flexibility; higher sampling rate but no SSTRB for DSP sync | Choose when higher speed is critical and external reference is already present in system |
| MAX11131ETE+ | 12-bit, 500ksps, internal 4.096V ref, 10-pin μMAX, no SHDN pin, VL not supported | Smaller package and higher speed, but lacks three-level shutdown and programmable logic levels | Choose for space-constrained designs where VL flexibility and deep shutdown are non-critical |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11131ETE+, the MAX1202BEAP+T uniquely combines internal reference, VL-adjustable outputs, SSTRB strobe, and three-level shutdown-making it optimal for portable, mixed-voltage, DSP-coupled systems requiring design simplicity and ultra-low quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed integral nonlinearity (INL) specification for MAX1202BEAP+T?
The MAX1202BEAP+T is specified with ±1 LSB maximum INL over the extended temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), as confirmed in the official Maxim datasheet revision 3. This applies to the 'B' grade version and ensures monotonic behavior and high DC accuracy for precision measurement applications using the MAX1202BEAP+T.
Does MAX1202BEAP+T require an external reference capacitor?
Yes, the MAX1202BEAP+T requires a 4.7μF capacitor between REF and GND when operating in internal reference mode, as specified in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Operating Circuit. This capacitor stabilizes the internal 4.096V reference and is mandatory for achieving specified INL and gain error performance of the MAX1202BEAP+T.
Can MAX1202BEAP+T interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller without level shifters?
Yes, the MAX1202BEAP+T supports direct 3.3V MCU interfacing via its VL pin: applying 3.3V to VL configures DOUT and SSTRB to output logic-high levels near 3.3V (VOH ≥ VL − 0.5V), while digital inputs (DIN, SCLK, CS, SHDN) accept 3.3V-tolerant thresholds - eliminating external level shifters in 3.3V systems using the MAX1202BEAP+T.
What is the minimum acquisition time required before conversion starts on MAX1202BEAP+T?
The MAX1202BEAP+T specifies a minimum acquisition time (tACQ) of 1.5μs, defined as the time required for the internal track/hold to settle after the last bit of the control byte is clocked in. This value is guaranteed across temperature and supply conditions and must be respected to ensure full 12-bit accuracy in every conversion performed by the MAX1202BEAP+T.
How does the SHDN pin function in MAX1202BEAP+T, and what are its states?
The SHDN pin on the MAX1202BEAP+T supports three distinct states: pulled low → full shutdown (2μA supply current); left floating → external compensation mode (enables 4.7μF REF bypass); pulled high → internal compensation mode. This three-level control allows dynamic optimization of reference stability and power consumption in systems using the MAX1202BEAP+T.
