Product details
Overview
MAX1230BETI+ from Maxim Integrated is a 12-bit, 300ksps serial analog-to-digital converter with integrated temperature sensor (±1.2°C error over -40°C to +85°C), 16-entry FIFO, internal 4.096V reference, and true differential track/hold. It supports 16 single-ended or 8 differential input channels in unipolar/bipolar modes and operates from a single +5V supply. Used in industrial control systems for multichannel voltage and temperature monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1230BETI+ datasheet, MAX1230BETI+ pinout, MAX1230BETI+ application, or MAX1230BETI+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, package-validated pin functions, and two confirmed alternative parts for system-level trade-off analysis.
Technical Context
The MAX1230BETI+ employs a fully differential successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with on-chip track-and-hold, enabling simultaneous acquisition of true differential pairs (e.g., AIN0/AIN1, AIN12/AIN13) and supporting both unipolar (0 to VREF) and bipolar (±VREF/2) input ranges. Its internal oscillator enables autonomous scan mode without external timing control.
It integrates a dedicated temperature-sensing path using the internal reference, delivering 1/8°C resolution in two's complement format. The 16-deep FIFO buffers conversion results-including temperature data-allow burst acquisition without serial bus contention, while AutoShutdown reduces current to 0.2µA during idle periods.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR - delivers 4096 discrete output codes with monotonic transfer function and no missing codes over temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 300ksps max - supports high-speed transient capture in data-acquisition systems with undersampling capability up to 1MHz input bandwidth. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB - ensures <0.025% full-scale linearity error, critical for precision instrumentation calibration and closed-loop control accuracy. |
| Internal Reference | 4.096V ±72mV (±20ppm/°C TC) - provides stable scaling without external components; used for all temperature measurements and optional for voltage conversions. |
| Temp Sensor Accuracy | ±1.2°C over -40°C to +85°C - enables reliable board-level thermal monitoring without external sensors or calibration. |
| Supply Current | 2.3mA at 300ksps (internal ref) - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained industrial nodes. |
| Digital Interface | 10MHz SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire - interoperates with standard microcontroller peripherals without protocol translation logic. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1230BETI+ is packaged in a 28-pin 5mm × 5mm thin QFN with exposed pad (EP), thermally connected to GND for enhanced power dissipation in compact industrial layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN15 | Analog Input Channels | 16 configurable inputs; each can be assigned as single-ended or paired for true differential measurement (e.g., AIN12/AIN13); AIN12–AIN15 available only on MAX1230. |
| REF+/REF− | Reference Inputs | REF+ accepts 1.0V to VDD+50mV; REF− serves as negative reference or analog input (AIN14); enables external differential reference or extended channel count. |
| CNVST/AIN15 | Conversion Start / Analog Input | Active-low hardware trigger for conversion start; when configured as CNVST, AIN15 is disabled - prevents signal conflict during triggered acquisition. |
| SCLK, DIN, DOUT, CS | Serial Interface | Standard 3-wire SPI interface: SCLK up to 10MHz; DOUT updates on falling edge; CS enables tri-state output and initiates frame sync. |
| EOC | End-of-Conversion Flag | Active-low open-drain output signals completion of last requested operation; asserted in clock modes 00/01/10; always high in externally clocked mode (11). |
| VDD, GND, EP | Power & Ground | +5V supply with 0.1µF local bypass; EP must be soldered to large ground plane for thermal management and noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-entry FIFO buffer | Stores up to 16 ADC results plus one temperature reading, enabling background scanning without CPU intervention or serial bus blocking. |
| True differential track/hold | Rejects common-mode noise and DC offsets on matched input pairs (e.g., AIN12/AIN13), preserving signal integrity in noisy industrial environments. |
| Internal temperature sensor | Delivers calibrated Celsius readings at 1/8°C resolution using internal reference - eliminates need for external sensor and associated layout complexity. |
| AutoShutdown™ mode | Reduces supply current to 0.2µA during idle periods, extending operational life in intermittently active monitoring applications like remote data loggers. |
| Configurable clock modes | Four modes (00–11) support hardware-triggered, software-initiated, internally timed, or externally clocked acquisition - adapts to diverse system timing architectures. |
Applications
| Industrial Process Monitoring | Patient Vital Sign Acquisition |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous logging of temperature, pressure, and flow sensor outputs across 12+ analog points in PLC-based factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Central multichannel ADC performing synchronized voltage and on-die temperature sampling every 3.3ms (300ksps aggregate) with FIFO buffering. Use Value: Eliminates external multiplexer and reference ICs; internal 4.096V reference and ±1 LSB INL ensure <0.025% measurement consistency across channels and temperature range. | Use Scenario: Compact bedside monitor acquiring ECG lead voltages, respiration impedance, and ambient/skin temperature in portable medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role signal digitizer: performs true differential ECG channel acquisition and concurrent on-chip die temperature sensing for thermal drift compensation. Use Value: Single-chip solution replaces discrete ADC + temp sensor; ±1.2°C sensor accuracy enables real-time thermal correction of analog front-end gain/offset without calibration tables. |
| Data Logger with Thermal Awareness | Energy Metering Subsystem |
Use Scenario: Battery-powered environmental logger recording temperature, humidity (via analog output sensor), and supply rail voltage over weeks in remote locations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power ADC managing periodic wake-up cycles: acquires temperature every 10s and voltage every 60s using AutoShutdown between samples. Use Value: 0.2µA shutdown current extends battery life; integrated FIFO allows burst sampling during active window without MCU polling overhead. | Use Scenario: Secondary metering channel in smart electricity meters measuring auxiliary parameters (e.g., transformer temperature, enclosure humidity, DC bias rails). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Auxiliary ADC interfacing with isolation amplifiers and RTD signal conditioners, providing 12-bit resolution at 1ksps per channel with programmable averaging. Use Value: Internal averaging (up to 64x) reduces noise in low-bandwidth sensor paths; unipolar/bipolar register control simplifies firmware handling of AC-coupled current sense signals. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7953IRHBT | 12-bit, 1MSPS, 16-channel, SPI interface; no integrated temp sensor; requires external reference; 32-pin VQFN. | Lacks on-die temperature sensing and internal reference - demands additional BOM components for thermal monitoring and voltage scaling. | Select when higher throughput (1MSPS) is required and system already includes precision reference and thermal sensing infrastructure. |
| AD7490BRUZ | 12-bit, 1MSPS, 16-channel, SPI interface; no FIFO; no integrated temp sensor; internal reference selectable (2.5V/4.096V); 28-pin TSSOP. | Missing FIFO and temperature sensor - requires continuous MCU polling and external thermal solution; lower integration increases PCB area and firmware complexity. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where FIFO buffering and die temperature are not needed, and 1MSPS sampling is prioritized over autonomous operation. |
Compared with ADS7953IRHBT and AD7490BRUZ, the MAX1230BETI+ uniquely combines FIFO buffering, integrated temperature sensing, and internal reference in a single 28-pin QFN - reducing component count, layout area, and firmware overhead for embedded monitoring systems requiring autonomous multichannel acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX1230BETI+ and under what conditions is it achieved?
The MAX1230BETI+ achieves a maximum sampling rate of 300ksps when using an external clock in clock mode 11 (CKSEL = 11), with SCLK frequency ≤ 4.8MHz and CS held high between sets of eight clock cycles. This mode disables internal averaging and scanning but enables highest throughput for time-critical acquisition. Internal clock modes limit rate to ~270ksps due to oscillator tolerance.
Does the MAX1230BETI+ require an external reference, or does it include an internal one?
The MAX1230BETI+ includes a factory-trimmed internal 4.096V reference with ±20ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 200µVRMS noise. It can operate fully autonomously using this reference for both voltage and temperature conversions. An external differential reference may be applied via REF+ and REF− pins if higher precision or custom scaling is required.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1230BETI+ support, and what configurations are available?
The MAX1230BETI+ supports 16 single-ended analog inputs (AIN0–AIN15) or 8 true differential pairs (e.g., AIN0/AIN1, AIN12/AIN13). Configuration is controlled via the setup register: single-ended mode references inputs to GND; differential mode rejects common-mode noise and supports unipolar (0 to VREF) or bipolar (±VREF/2) ranges.
What is the accuracy and resolution of the integrated temperature sensor in the MAX1230BETI+?
The MAX1230BETI+ integrated temperature sensor provides ±1.2°C accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, with 1/8°C resolution (0.125°C step size) delivered in two's complement format. Temperature measurements always use the internal reference and are stored in the FIFO alongside ADC results.
Can the MAX1230BETI+ operate in low-power modes, and how is power consumption reduced?
Yes, the MAX1230BETI+ features AutoShutdown™, reducing supply current to 0.2µA during idle periods. Power is further optimized via configurable clock modes - e.g., clock mode 00 uses internal timing with hardware-triggered conversion, minimizing serial bus activity. At 300ksps with internal reference, typical IDD is 2.3mA.
