Product details
Overview
MAX1265BEEI+ from Maxim Integrated is a 12-bit, 265ksps successive-approximation ADC with integrated +2.5V reference, software-configurable 6-channel single-ended/pseudo-differential analog input, and parallel 12-bit interface. It operates from a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply, consumes only 1.9mA at full speed, and features fast 2µs wake-up from shutdown - ideal for portable patient monitoring and battery-powered data loggers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1265BEEI+ datasheet, MAX1265BEEI+ pinout, MAX1265BEEI+ application, or MAX1265BEEI+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated QSOP-28 pin functions, confirmed temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for industrial control and energy management designs.
Technical Context
The MAX1265BEEI+ implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with an internal 3MHz full-power bandwidth track/hold stage and on-chip clock generation. Its analog front-end supports unipolar/bipolar selection and dynamic channel configuration via an 8-bit control byte written to D7–D0.
Conversion timing is configurable: internal acquisition mode triggers conversion after ~1µs (internal clock) or three external clock cycles; external acquisition allows precise aperture control using two WR pulses. The device asserts INT low upon completion and supports tri-state parallel readout synchronized by RD and CS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 1 LSB = 610 µV step size with ±0.5 LSB INL over full temperature range |
| Sampling Rate | 265ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to 125kHz without aliasing when combined with anti-alias filtering |
| Analog Supply | +2.7V to +3.6V - enables direct integration into 3.3V systems without level-shifting or auxiliary regulators |
| Reference | +2.5V internal - eliminates external reference component; ±20ppm/°C TC ensures <±1 LSB drift across –40°C to +85°C |
| Power Consumption | 1.9mA at 265ksps - reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts and extends battery life in portable medical devices |
| Input Channels | 6 single-ended / 3 pseudo-differential - provides flexible signal routing for multi-sensor industrial I/O modules |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in automotive cabin electronics and factory-floor PLC analog inputs |
Pinout & Package
MAX1265BEEI+ is housed in a 28-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained embedded systems requiring high-density analog signal acquisition.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH5 | Analog Input Channels | Selectable positive inputs for single-ended or pseudo-differential sampling; CH0–CH5 fully supported per datasheet Table 2 |
| COM | Analog Common Reference | Sets zero-code voltage in single-ended mode; must remain stable to ±0.5 LSB during conversion |
| REF | Reference Buffer Output | Delivers +2.5V internal reference; requires 4.7µF bypass capacitor to GND for stability |
| REFADJ | Reference Trim Input | Connect to VDD to disable internal bandgap when using external reference; ±100mV adjustment range |
| D0–D11 | Tri-State Parallel Data Bus | 12-bit bidirectional I/O lines; outputs valid after RD falling edge, high-impedance when CS high |
| CS, WR, RD | Digital Control Inputs | Active-low chip select, write strobe, and read strobe - enable microprocessor interfacing without glue logic |
| INT | Interrupt Output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating conversion completion and data readiness |
| VDD, GND | Power & Ground | +2.7V to +3.6V analog supply; separate analog/digital ground pins not provided - shared GND per pinout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input mode | Single-ended (6 channels) or pseudo-differential (3 pairs) selected via SGL/DIF bit - eliminates hardware rework for sensor interface changes |
| Two power-down modes | Standby (≤930µA) and full shutdown (≤2µA) - enables duty-cycled operation in energy-harvesting sensor nodes |
| Internal track/hold with 3MHz BW | Supports accurate digitization of fast transients (e.g., motor current spikes) without external sample-hold circuitry |
| Parallel 12-bit interface | Direct connection to 16-bit microcontroller data buses; no serial-to-parallel conversion required - reduces firmware overhead |
| Unipolar/bipolar input selection | Configured via UNI/BIP bit - accommodates both 0–2.5V sensor outputs and ±1.25V differential signals from strain gauges |
Applications

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, 200ksps max, no internal reference | Limited to lower-precision industrial controls where cost outweighs accuracy requirements | Select only if 8-bit resolution suffices and SPI bus availability simplifies MCU integration |
| AD7490BRUZ | 12-bit, 1MSPS, SPI interface, 16-channel mux, external reference required | Higher throughput and channel count suitable for automated test equipment, but lacks integrated reference and parallel interface | Choose when system demands >265ksps or >6 channels, and SPI interface aligns with existing firmware architecture |
Compared with ADS7822U and AD7490BRUZ, MAX1265BEEI+ uniquely combines parallel interface simplicity, internal +2.5V reference, and guaranteed ±0.5 LSB INL in a 28-pin QSOP - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained 3.3V embedded systems needing deterministic timing and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX1265BEEI+?
The MAX1265BEEI+ is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the Maxim datasheet ordering information table. This extended industrial temperature range enables reliable use in automotive cabin electronics, factory automation I/O modules, and outdoor energy monitoring equipment where ambient conditions exceed commercial-grade limits. The MAX1265BEEI+ maintains ±0.5 LSB INL and 67dB SINAD performance across this full range.
Does MAX1265BEEI+ include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, MAX1265BEEI+ integrates a precision +2.5V bandgap reference with ±20ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 2.49V to 2.51V output tolerance at +25°C. When enabled, it eliminates the need for an external reference IC or resistor divider. The REFADJ pin allows disabling the internal reference when using an external source - a feature verified in the Electrical Characteristics table and Pin Description section of the datasheet.
How many analog input channels does MAX1265BEEI+ support?
MAX1265BEEI+ supports six analog input channels (CH0–CH5) in single-ended mode and three pseudo-differential channel pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5) - all explicitly documented in Tables 2 and 3 of the datasheet. This matches the "6-/2-Channel" designation in the device family title and distinguishes it from the MAX1267 variant, which supports only two single-ended channels.
What package type is used for MAX1265BEEI+?
MAX1265BEEI+ is supplied in a 28-pin QSOP (Quarter-Size Outline Package) with 0.65mm lead pitch and 5.3mm × 10.2mm body dimensions. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table, Pin Configurations diagram, and Package Information section of the official Maxim datasheet - and differentiates it from the 24-pin QSOP used by the MAX1267 family members.
Can MAX1265BEEI+ operate with a 3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX1265BEEI+ operates natively from +2.7V to +3.6V, making +3.3V its optimal nominal supply voltage. Electrical characteristics including 1.9mA supply current, ±0.5 LSB INL, and 265ksps sampling rate are all specified and tested within this range. The device requires only a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from VDD to GND per the Typical Operating Circuit - no LDO or level-shifter needed for standard 3.3V systems.
