Product details
Overview
MAX1264BEEG+ from Maxim Integrated is a 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with integrated +2.5V reference, byte-wide parallel (8+4) interface, and software-configurable 4-channel single-ended or 2-channel pseudo-differential input multiplexer. It operates from a single +5V analog supply and supports digital logic levels from +2.7V to +5.5V via VLOGIC. Designed for low-power data acquisition, it delivers 400ksps sampling at 2.5mA and shuts down to 2µA between conversions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1264BEEG+ datasheet, MAX1264BEEG+ pinout, MAX1264BEEG+ application, or MAX1264BEEG+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed dynamic specifications (SINAD = 70dB, INL = ±0.5 LSB), real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for industrial and medical sensing systems.
Technical Context
The MAX1264BEEG+ implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with an internal track-and-hold stage offering 6MHz full-power bandwidth and 350kHz full-linear bandwidth. Its control logic accepts an 8-bit configuration byte defining acquisition mode (internal/external), unipolar/bipolar range, and channel selection - enabling flexible signal conditioning without external components.
It features dual power-down modes: standby (1.2mA) and full shutdown (2µA), both triggered by software control bits PD0/PD1. The HBEN pin enables high-byte/low-byte multiplexing of the 12-bit result on the shared D0–D7 bus, reducing I/O count while maintaining microprocessor compatibility.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX1264BEEG+ is housed in a 24-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 7.6mm, 0.635mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable instrumentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| D0/D8–D7 | Tri-State Data Bus | 8-bit bidirectional interface carrying lower byte (HBEN=0) or upper nibble (HBEN=1) - supports 8-bit µP integration |
| INT | Interrupt Output | Active-low signal asserts when conversion completes and data is valid - enables interrupt-driven firmware polling |
| WR / RD / CS | Control Inputs | Standard parallel interface handshaking - compatible with 8051, Z80, and FPGA-based controllers |
| CH0–CH3 | Analog Input Channels | Four single-ended inputs (or two pseudo-differential pairs CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3) - supports multi-sensor acquisition |
| COM | Analog Ground Reference | Stable 0V reference for single-ended mode; must remain within ±0.5 LSB during conversion |
| REF / REFADJ | Reference Buffer | Internal +2.5V reference output (REF) with adjustable gain (REFADJ) - allows fine-tuning or external reference override |
| VDD / VLOGIC | Power Supplies | Separate +5V analog rail (VDD) and programmable +2.7V to +5.5V digital rail (VLOGIC) - isolates noise-sensitive analog domain |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Integrated +2.5V reference | ±2ppm/°C tempco, 2.49V–2.51V output - removes external reference cost and layout area |
| Two-tier power-down | Standby (1.2mA) and full shutdown (2µA) - enables adaptive power management in duty-cycled systems |
| External clock support | 100kHz–7.6MHz TTL/CMOS-compatible input - permits precise aperture timing for undersampling applications |
| Aperture jitter | <50ps (external acquisition mode) - preserves SNR when digitizing high-frequency signals up to 350kHz |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution, SPI interface, no internal reference - requires external REF and level-shifting for +5V µP | Lower accuracy; suited for cost-sensitive, non-critical position sensing only | Choose only if resolution ≤8-bit and serial interface preferred over parallel |
| MAX11620AUB+ | 12-bit, 250ksps, internal reference, but uses I²C interface and 10-pin µMAX package - no HBEN or parallel bus | Lacks byte-multiplexed parallel interface; incompatible with legacy 8-bit µP designs | Select when board space is critical and I²C host controller is available |
Compared with MAX1264BEEG+, ADS7822U trades resolution and integration for lower cost and smaller size, while MAX11620AUB+ sacrifices parallel interface compatibility for ultra-compact packaging and I²C simplicity - neither offers identical feature parity in mixed-signal industrial control.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX1264BEEG+?
The MAX1264BEEG+ is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, matching the extended industrial temperature grade (E-grade). This range is validated across all key specifications including INL (±0.5 LSB), SINAD (70dB), and power consumption (2.5mA at 400ksps), ensuring reliability in harsh environments such as factory automation and outdoor energy meters.
Does MAX1264BEEG+ require an external clock to operate?
No, MAX1264BEEG+ supports both internal and external clock modes. In internal clock mode (D7=1, D6=0), it generates its own 7.6MHz clock, eliminating external timing components. External clock mode (D7=D6=1) accepts 100kHz–7.6MHz TTL/CMOS signals for precise aperture control - critical for undersampling applications where jitter must be <50ps.
How does the HBEN pin function in MAX1264BEEG+?
The HBEN pin on MAX1264BEEG+ controls multiplexing of the 12-bit conversion result onto the 8-bit data bus: when HBEN=1, D0–D7 carry D8–D11 (MSB nibble); when HBEN=0, they carry D0–D7 (LSB byte). This enables full 12-bit readout using only 8 data lines, preserving compatibility with legacy 8-bit microprocessors without requiring additional latches or bus expanders.
Can MAX1264BEEG+ interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes, MAX1264BEEG+ supports direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers via its VLOGIC pin, which accepts +2.7V to +5.5V digital supply voltage. When VLOGIC = 3.3V, all digital outputs (D0–D7, INT, RD, WR, CS) are 3.3V-tolerant, and input thresholds (VIH/VIL) are adjusted accordingly - no level-shifter IC is required for logic-level translation.
What is the maximum analog input voltage range for MAX1264BEEG+ in unipolar mode?
In unipolar mode, MAX1264BEEG+ accepts analog input voltages from 0V to VREF (2.5V), referenced to the COM pin. The absolute input range is GND to VDD (+5V), but for guaranteed 12-bit accuracy, signals must stay within 0V to +2.5V. Exceeding +2.5V risks code ambiguity due to internal comparator saturation, even though input protection diodes clamp up to VDD + 50mV.
