Product details
Overview
MAX1267BCEG from Maxim Integrated is a 12-bit, 265ksps successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated +2.5V reference, software-configurable 2-channel single-ended or 1-channel pseudo-differential 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-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1267BCEG datasheet, MAX1267BCEG pinout, MAX1267BCEG application, or MAX1267BCEG equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin QSOP package, ±0.5 LSB INL, internal track/hold with 3MHz full-power bandwidth, and support for unipolar/bipolar input configuration via control-byte programming.
Technical Context
The MAX1267BCEG implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with an integrated 12-bit capacitive DAC and on-chip track/hold stage. Its analog front-end supports two distinct acquisition modes - internal (timed by internal clock) and external (user-controlled WR edge) - enabling precise aperture control down to 50ps jitter in external acquisition mode.
Configuration is handled via an 8-bit control byte written to D7–D0, defining channel selection (A2–A0), SGL/DIF, UNI/BIP, ACQMOD, and PD1/PD0 power-down states. The parallel interface uses active-low CS, WR, and RD with tri-state D0–D11 outputs and open-drain INT interrupt, fully compatible with standard 16-bit microprocessor buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes for high-fidelity signal digitization |
| Sampling Rate | 265ksps - supports real-time capture of audio-band and sensor signals up to ~130kHz Nyquist |
| INL | ±0.5 LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.012% full-scale linearity error across temperature |
| Supply Current | 1.9mA at 265ksps - enables <5.4mW power draw from +3V supply for extended battery life |
| Reference | +2.5V internal - eliminates need for external reference IC and associated layout area |
| Input Configuration | 2 single-ended or 1 pseudo-differential channel - matches compact sensor arrays and differential transducer interfaces |
| Package | 24-pin QSOP - 3.9mm × 8.7mm footprint suitable for space-constrained medical and industrial PCBs |
Pinout & Package
MAX1267BCEG is housed in a 24-pin QSOP package (3.9mm × 8.7mm, 0.635mm pitch) rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin description table and functional diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0, CH1 | Analog Input Channels | Accept single-ended signals referenced to COM; selectable as positive inputs in pseudo-differential mode |
| COM | Analog Ground 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 |
| VDD | Analog Power Supply | +2.7V to +3.6V supply; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND near pin |
| GND | Analog/Digital Ground | Common return for analog and digital sections; low-impedance connection critical for noise immunity |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; places D0–D11 in high-impedance state when high |
| WR | Write Control | Rising edge latches control byte (D7–D0) and initiates acquisition/conversion sequence |
| RD | Read Control | Falling edge enables tri-state output drivers to place conversion result on D0–D11 bus |
| INT | Interrupt Output | Open-drain, active-low flag signaling completion of conversion and data readiness |
| CLK | Clock Input | Accepts external TTL/CMOS clock (100kHz–4.8MHz); tied high/low in internal clock mode |
| D0–D11 | Data Bus I/O | Tri-state bidirectional lines carrying control byte input and 12-bit conversion result output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input topology | Single-ended (2 channels) or pseudo-differential (1 channel) selection via SGL/DIF bit - adapts to diverse sensor interfaces without hardware change |
| Unipolar/bipolar input support | Configurable via UNI/BIP bit: 0V–2.5V (unipolar) or –1.25V to +1.25V (bipolar) - accommodates both ground-referenced and AC-coupled signals |
| Two-tier power-down | Standby mode (<1µA) and full shutdown (<2µA) - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like energy meters |
| Internal 3MHz track/hold bandwidth | Enables accurate digitization of fast transients and undersampling of RF signals beyond Nyquist limit |
| Fast 2µs wake-up time | Minimizes latency between power-down exit and first valid conversion - critical for responsive sensor polling |
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, no internal reference - requires external REF and level-shifting for +3V systems | Lower accuracy; suited for cost-sensitive, non-critical sensing where 12-bit precision is unnecessary | Select only if 8-bit resolution suffices and serial interface is preferred over parallel bus timing constraints |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 12-bit, 500ksps, 10-pin µMAX, internal reference - higher speed but only 1 input channel and no pseudo-differential mode | Single-ended-only; better for high-speed single-signal acquisition where channel count is secondary | Choose when sampling rate >265ksps is required and dual-channel flexibility is not needed |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11100ETE+, the MAX1267BCEG uniquely balances 12-bit accuracy, dual-channel configurability, parallel interface simplicity, and ultra-low power - making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained embedded systems requiring flexible analog input handling.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX1267BCEG?
The MAX1267BCEG is specified for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, as confirmed by its ordering code suffix 'C' and the '0°C to +70°C' entry in the official Maxim ordering information table. This commercial-grade temperature range suits indoor medical devices, consumer test equipment, and non-automotive industrial environments where extreme thermal stress is absent.
Does MAX1267BCEG include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the MAX1267BCEG integrates a precision +2.5V bandgap reference with ±20ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 2.49V–2.51V output tolerance at +25°C. When enabled, this reference drives the ADC core and is accessible at the REF pin, eliminating the need for an external reference IC in most applications.
How many analog input channels does MAX1267BCEG support?
The MAX1267BCEG supports two analog input channels (CH0 and CH1) in single-ended mode, or one pseudo-differential pair (CH0/CH1) when configured via the SGL/DIF control bit. This is explicitly stated in the General Description and confirmed in Table 2 and Table 3 of the datasheet - distinguishing it from the 6-channel MAX1265 variant.
What package type is used for MAX1267BCEG?
The MAX1267BCEG is packaged in a 24-pin QSOP (Quad Small Outline Package) with 0.635mm lead pitch and 3.9mm × 8.7mm body dimensions. This is verified by the '24 QSOP' notation in the Ordering Information table and the corresponding pin diagram labeled 'MAX1267' showing 24 pins.
Can MAX1267BCEG operate with a 5V microprocessor interface?
No, the MAX1267BCEG is designed for +2.7V to +3.6V analog supply (VDD) and its digital I/Os are CMOS-compatible with that voltage range. Direct connection to a 5V µP bus would violate absolute maximum ratings; level-shifting circuitry or a 3.3V-compatible µP is required for safe interfacing.
