Product details
Overview
MAX1230BETI+T 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. It is used in industrial control systems for multichannel voltage and temperature monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1230BETI+T datasheet, MAX1230BETI+T pinout, MAX1230BETI+T application, or MAX1230BETI+T equivalent, key selection criteria include FIFO depth for burst acquisition, internal temperature sensing accuracy, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interface timing compliance, and 28-pin TQFN thermal performance in extended-temperature embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX1230BETI+T implements a fully differential successive-approximation register (SAR) ADC architecture with on-chip track-and-hold, supporting both single-ended and true differential inputs. Its internal oscillator enables internally timed conversions in clock modes 00, 01, and 10, while mode 11 supports externally clocked operation up to 10MHz SCLK.
It features configurable scan sequencing, per-channel unipolar/bipolar mode selection via dedicated registers, and automatic temperature measurement interleaving with analog conversions. The 16-deep FIFO buffers conversion results and temperature data independently, enabling background acquisition without serial bus contention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR - delivers 1 LSB INL/DNL accuracy with no missing codes across -40°C to +85°C. |
| Sampling Rate | 300ksps max - achievable only in externally clocked mode (CKSEL=11) with ≤4.8MHz SCLK; internal clock limits to ~275ksps. |
| Input Channels | 16 single-ended or 8 true differential - AIN0–AIN15 mapped to dedicated pins; differential pairs fixed (e.g., AIN0/AIN1, AIN14/AIN15). |
| Internal Reference | 4.096V ±1.7% (4.024V–4.168V) - TCREF ≤ ±20ppm/°C; powers temperature sensor and enables reference-free system design. |
| Temperature Sensor | ±1.2°C error over full range - resolution 0.125°C (1/8°C), noise 0.1°CRMS; always uses internal reference regardless of analog reference source. |
| Digital Interface | 10MHz 3-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE - supports CPOL=CPHA=0 or 1; DOUT valid on SCLK falling edge; CS-active-low enable. |
| Supply Current | 2.3mA at 300ksps - drops to 0.2–5µA in AutoShutdown™; internal reference active during temp sense increases IDD by ~1mA. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1230BETI+T is housed in a 28-pin 5mm × 5mm thin QFN package with exposed pad (EP), rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. The EP must be soldered to a large ground plane for thermal management and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 17, 19, 25 | No Connection | Not internally bonded; leave floating or grounded per layout best practice - no signal routing required. |
| 2–12, 26–28 | AIN0–AIN13 | Analog input channels - support single-ended or differential pairing; AIN14/AIN15 available on pins 13/14. |
| 13 | REF-/AIN14 | Negative reference input or analog channel 14 - function selected via setup register; not simultaneously usable. |
| 14 | CNVST/AIN15 | Active-low conversion start or analog channel 15 - dual-role pin; configured in setup register; pulse width ≥1.4µs for voltage conversion. |
| 15 | REF+ | Positive reference input - requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND; accepts external reference or connects to internal REF output. |
| 16 | GND | Analog/digital ground - common return for VDD, REF+, and all analog inputs; tie EP directly to this node. |
| 18 | VDD | +5V power supply - 4.75V–5.25V range; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| 20 | SCLK | Serial clock input - 40–60% duty cycle required; clocks DIN on rising edge, DOUT on falling edge. |
| 21 | CS | Chip-select input - active-low; enables serial interface and tri-states DOUT when high. |
| 22 | DIN | Serial data input - latched on SCLK rising edge; carries 8-bit command bytes (setup, conversion, averaging registers). |
| 23 | DOUT | Serial data output - outputs 16-bit result (MSB first, 4 leading zeros) on SCLK falling edge; high-impedance when CS = VDD. |
| 24 | EOC | End-of-conversion flag - active-low pulse indicates completion of last requested operation; high in CKSEL=11 mode. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Internally connected to GND - mandatory thermal and electrical connection to PCB ground plane; not a signal pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-entry FIFO buffer | Stores up to 16 analog results plus one temperature reading - eliminates serial bus blocking during multi-channel scans. |
| True differential track/hold | Supports fixed differential pairs (e.g., AIN0/AIN1) with common-mode rejection - enables noise-immune bipolar measurements without external amplifiers. |
| Integrated temperature sensor | ±1.2°C accuracy over -40°C to +85°C with 0.125°C resolution - calibrated against internal reference, requiring no external components. |
| AutoShutdown™ mode | Reduces supply current to 0.2–5µA between conversions - extends battery life in portable data loggers and remote sensors. |
| Configurable clock modes | Four CKSEL options (00–11) - supports software-triggered, CNVST-pulse-triggered, or externally clocked acquisition with independent scan/averaging control. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel, temperature-integrated ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8688IPWR | 16-bit, 500ksps, SPI interface, no integrated temp sensor, external reference required | Better resolution and speed but lacks on-die temperature sensing and internal reference | Choose when higher resolution outweighs need for self-contained temperature monitoring and reference simplicity. |
| AD7949BCPZ-RL7 | 14-bit, 250ksps, SPI, no temp sensor, internal reference only (4.096V), 16-channel | Lower speed and resolution than MAX1230BETI+T; no temperature sensing capability | Choose when 14-bit precision suffices and temperature monitoring is handled externally. |
Compared with ADS8688IPWR and AD7949BCPZ-RL7, the MAX1230BETI+T uniquely integrates a calibrated temperature sensor and internal reference in a single 28-pin TQFN, enabling compact, low-component-count designs for embedded monitoring where simultaneous voltage and temperature acquisition is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate achievable with the MAX1230BETI+T?
The MAX1230BETI+T achieves a maximum sampling rate of 300ksps only in externally clocked mode (CKSEL1/CKSEL0 = 11) with SCLK ≤ 4.8MHz. In internally clocked modes (00, 01, 10), the effective rate is lower due to oscillator tolerance and overhead. At 300ksps, the MAX1230BETI+T consumes 2.3mA from a +5V supply and maintains ±1 LSB INL/DNL performance across -40°C to +85°C.
Does the MAX1230BETI+T require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX1230BETI+T includes a factory-trimmed 4.096V internal reference with ±20ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 200µVRMS noise. REF+ can be driven by this internal source or an external differential reference. The internal reference is mandatory for temperature measurements and remains active even when external reference is selected for analog conversions.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1230BETI+T support in differential mode?
The MAX1230BETI+T supports eight true differential input channels: AIN0/AIN1, AIN2/AIN3, AIN4/AIN5, AIN6/AIN7, AIN8/AIN9, AIN10/AIN11, AIN12/AIN13, and AIN14/AIN15. These are hardwired pairs; configuration is done via the setup register. All 16 pins (AIN0–AIN15) are accessible on the 28-pin TQFN package, enabling full 8-channel differential operation.
What is the accuracy of the integrated temperature sensor in the MAX1230BETI+T?
The MAX1230BETI+T's integrated temperature sensor has a measurement error of ±1.2°C over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, with ±0.7°C typical accuracy at +25°C. It provides 0.125°C (1/8°C) resolution in two's complement format and uses the internal 4.096V reference exclusively - no external components or calibration are needed.
Can the MAX1230BETI+T operate from a single +3.3V supply?
No, the MAX1230BETI+T requires a +5V ±5% supply (4.75V to 5.25V). Its internal reference, SAR core, and digital interface are designed for 5V operation. Attempting to power it from +3.3V will prevent proper reference generation, disable the temperature sensor, and cause communication failures on the SPI interface. For 3.3V systems, level-shifting or a compatible 3.3V ADC (e.g., MAX11100) is required.
