Product details
Overview
MAX1282BCUE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 12-bit, 4-channel serial analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal +2.5V reference, 400ksps sampling rate, and single +4.5V to +5.5V supply operation. It integrates a track/hold circuit, software-configurable unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differential inputs, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire serial interface - used in portable data loggers and battery-powered medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1282BCUE+ datasheet, MAX1282BCUE+ pinout, MAX1282BCUE+ application, or MAX1282BCUE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400ksps throughput under 2.5mA supply current, ±1 LSB INL over 0°C to +70°C, TSSOP-16 package compatibility, and internal reference adjustability via REFADJ pin.
Technical Context
The MAX1282BCUE+ employs successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated track/hold and 4-channel analog multiplexer. Its conversion timing is fully clocked by an external SCLK (up to 6.4MHz), with acquisition time of 400ns and aperture jitter <50ps - enabling accurate digitization of signals up to 200kHz full-linear bandwidth.
It supports four power modes (normal, REDP, FASTPD, FULLPD), with hardwired SHDN pin and automatic wake-on-CS activation. The internal reference buffer provides ±1.5% adjustment range around 2.500V (±15ppm/°C TC), and accepts external references from 1V to VDD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR - delivers 1 LSB = 0.0244% of full-scale range for precision measurement systems. |
| Sampling Rate | 400ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to 200kHz Nyquist bandwidth without aliasing. |
| INL | ±1 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and ≤0.024% end-point linearity error across temperature (0°C to +70°C). |
| Supply Current | 2.5mA at 400ksps - enables low-power operation in battery-powered instrumentation with minimal thermal load. |
| Reference | Internal +2.500V ±1.5% adjustable - eliminates need for external reference IC while supporting calibration via REFADJ pin. |
| Input Configuration | 4 single-ended or 2 pseudo-differential channels - allows flexible sensor interfacing (e.g., thermocouples, RTDs, pressure bridges) with shared COM node. |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/TMS320-compatible 4-wire - connects directly to microcontrollers without level shifters or glue logic. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1282BCUE+ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5.0mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's 19-1688 Rev 0 datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, VDD2 | Positive supply inputs | Must be tied together and decoupled locally; supports +4.5V to +5.5V operation with 535mW max dissipation at +70°C. |
| CH0–CH3 | Analog input channels | Software-selectable single-ended or pseudo-differential inputs; input range = GND to VDD1 with ±0.5LSB COM stability requirement. |
| COM | Common-mode reference | Sets zero-code voltage in single-ended mode; must remain stable within ±0.5LSB during conversion to avoid error. |
| REF | Reference output/input | Provides buffered +2.500V (typ) when REFADJ = VDD1; accepts external 1V–VDD reference when buffer disabled. |
| REFADJ | Reference buffer control | Adjusts internal reference ±1.5% around 2.5V; connect to VDD1 to disable buffer and use external reference. |
| SCLK, DIN, DOUT, CS, SSTRB | Serial interface signals | 4-wire SPI-compatible interface; SSTRB pulses before MSB for TMS320 sync; all digital I/O tolerate 0–5V swing. |
| SHDN | Hardware shutdown control | Active-low pin reduces supply current to 2µA (typ); automatic wake-up occurs on CS assertion. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground | Single ground plane required; pin 10 serves as common return for analog and digital sections. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated track/hold + multiplexer | Eliminates external sample-hold IC and analog switch matrix, reducing BOM count and board area in multi-sensor systems. |
| Four selectable power modes | Enables dynamic power scaling: 2.5mA (normal), 1.3mA (REDP), 0.9mA (FASTPD), 2µA (FULLPD) - ideal for duty-cycled sensing. |
| Software-configurable input polarity | Supports both unipolar (0–VREF) and bipolar (±VREF/2) operation via control byte, simplifying firmware adaptation across sensor types. |
| Internal reference with trim capability | Reduces system cost and layout complexity vs. discrete reference ICs; ±1.5% adjustment covers gain calibration needs. |
| TSSOP-16 package with exposed pad | Enables compact PCB layout and improved thermal performance in space-constrained portable instruments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7816U | 8-pin SOIC, 200ksps, no internal reference - requires external 2.5V reference and external clock generator. | Limited to single-channel use; lacks multiplexer, track/hold, and power-down modes. | Choose only if board space is extremely constrained and system already provides reference/clock infrastructure. |
| MAX11131AUT+T | 12-bit, 500ksps, internal reference, but 10-pin µMAX package - no REFADJ pin, fixed 2.5V reference, no pseudo-differential mode. | Optimized for high-speed single-channel use; lacks channel multiplexing and software-configurable input modes. | Select when higher throughput is critical and multi-channel flexibility is not required. |
Compared with ADS7816U and MAX11131AUT+T, MAX1282BCUE+ uniquely combines 4-channel multiplexing, internal adjustable reference, pseudo-differential support, and four power modes in a single TSSOP-16 package - making it optimal for compact, battery-efficient multi-sensor systems requiring calibrated precision.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX1282BCUE+?
The MAX1282BCUE+ supports a maximum sampling rate of 400ksps when operated with a 6.4MHz serial clock and +4.5V to +5.5V supply. This rate is achieved using 16 SCLK cycles per conversion, and the device maintains ±1 LSB INL and 70dB SINAD at full speed. Conversion time is fixed at 2.5µs, and acquisition time is guaranteed ≤400ns.
Does the MAX1282BCUE+ require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX1282BCUE+ does not require an external reference voltage - it includes an internal +2.500V ±1.5% reference with adjustable output via the REFADJ pin. However, an external reference from 1V to VDD may be applied to the REF pin when the internal buffer is disabled by pulling REFADJ to VDD1, offering flexibility for systems needing tighter reference tolerance or different voltage levels.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1282BCUE+ support, and what configurations are available?
The MAX1282BCUE+ supports four analog input channels (CH0–CH3) configurable as either four single-ended inputs (with COM as common reference) or two pseudo-differential pairs (CH0/CH1 and CH2/CH3). Input polarity is software-selectable for unipolar (0–VREF) or bipolar (±VREF/2) operation via the 8-bit control byte, enabling versatile sensor interfacing without hardware changes.
What power-saving features does the MAX1282BCUE+ offer?
The MAX1282BCUE+ offers four distinct power modes: normal (2.5mA), reduced power (REDP, 1.3mA), fast power-down (FASTPD, 0.9mA), and full power-down (FULLPD, 2µA). It also includes a hardwired SHDN pin and automatic wake-up on CS assertion. These features allow dynamic power scaling in battery-powered applications - for example, entering FULLPD between measurements and resuming conversion in <1µs upon CS activation.
Is the MAX1282BCUE+ compatible with standard microcontroller serial interfaces?
Yes, the MAX1282BCUE+ is fully compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE serial interfaces. It uses a 4-wire protocol (SCLK, DIN, DOUT, CS) with CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0 configuration. The SSTRB strobe output enables direct connection to TMS320-family DSPs, and all digital I/O pins operate over the full 0–5V range, eliminating the need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers.
