Product details
Overview
MAX1282BCUE from Maxim Integrated is a 12-bit, 4-channel, single-supply analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal +2.5V reference, 400ksps sampling rate, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire serial interface. It operates from +4.5V to +5.5V, supports software-configurable unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/pseudo-differential inputs, and targets portable data acquisition in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1282BCUE datasheet, MAX1282BCUE pinout, MAX1282BCUE application, or MAX1282BCUE equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing and accuracy specs, TSSOP-16 package details, and validated alternative options for industrial and medical signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
The MAX1282BCUE implements successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated track/hold and 4-channel analog multiplexer. Its conversion cycle requires 16 SCLK periods at up to 6.4MHz, delivering 400ksps throughput with ±1 LSB INL and ±1 LSB DNL over 0°C to +70°C.
It features four programmable power modes (normal, REDP, FASTPD, FULLPD), hardwired SHDN pin, and reference buffer with ±1.5% REFADJ adjustment range. The device accepts external references from 1V to VDD and supports pseudo-differential input pairs CH0/CH1 and CH2/CH3 with COM as common reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes for high-fidelity sensor digitization |
| Sampling Rate | 400ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 200kHz full-linear bandwidth |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.025% integral error across full temperature range |
| Supply Voltage | +4.5V to +5.5V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and industrial power domains |
| Reference | Internal +2.5V ±0.5% - eliminates need for external precision reference in cost-sensitive designs |
| Power Modes | Four selectable (FULLPD = 2µA) - allows dynamic current scaling between conversions for extended battery life |
| SINAD | 70dB at 100kHz - supports accurate measurement of low-distortion analog waveforms |
Pinout & Package
MAX1282BCUE is housed in a 16-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP) with 0.65mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, and rated for 0°C to +70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, VDD2 | Positive supply inputs | Must be tied together and decoupled locally; dual pins reduce supply impedance and improve PSR |
| GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground plane required; COM must remain stable to ±0.5LSB relative to GND during conversion |
| CH0–CH3, COM | Analog input channels and common reference | Supports 4 single-ended or 2 pseudo-differential inputs; COM sets zero-code voltage in unipolar mode |
| REF, REFADJ | Reference buffer output and adjustment terminal | REF provides 2.500V ±0.5%; REFADJ allows ±1.5% fine-tuning or disables buffer when pulled to VDD1 |
| SCLK, DIN, DOUT, CS, SSTRB | 4-wire serial interface signals | Direct SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility; SSTRB enables TMS320 DSP synchronization without glue logic |
| SHDN | Hardware shutdown control | Active-low input reduces supply current to 2µA (typ); automatic wake-up occurs on CS assertion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-channel analog multiplexer + track/hold | Enables sequential sampling of multiple sensors without external signal routing or hold capacitors |
| Software-configurable input mode | Single-ended or pseudo-differential operation selected via serial control byte - no hardware changes needed |
| Internal reference buffer with REFADJ | Eliminates external reference IC; ±1.5% adjustability compensates for system-level gain drift |
| Low-power operation (2.5mA @ 400ksps) | Reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts and extends runtime in portable medical instruments |
| 16-pin TSSOP package | Compact 5mm × 4.4mm footprint supports high-density mixed-signal board designs with minimal layout area |
Applications
| Portable Data Logging | Medical Instrumentation |

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 | 2.7V–5.25V supply, 200ksps, no internal reference, requires external 2.5V ref | Lacks integrated reference and REFADJ; better suited for systems already using precision external reference | Select when reference sharing across multiple ADCs is required and board space permits external ref IC |
| AD7490BRUZ | 2.7V–5.25V supply, 1MSPS, internal 2.5V ref, 16-channel mux, SPI interface | Higher speed and channel count but larger 24-lead TSSOP package and higher 3.5mA typical supply current | Choose when expanding to >4 channels or requiring >400ksps throughput without sacrificing resolution |
Compared with ADS7822U and AD7490BRUZ, MAX1282BCUE offers optimal balance of integrated reference, low 2.5mA active current, compact 16-pin TSSOP, and guaranteed ±1 LSB linearity - making it ideal for space-constrained, battery-aware 4-channel data loggers where external reference overhead is undesirable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX1282BCUE?
The MAX1282BCUE is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is explicitly defined in the ordering information table for the MAX1282BCUE variant and confirmed by absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics test conditions. The 'C' suffix denotes this grade, distinguishing it from the 'E' grade (-40°C to +85°C) versions like MAX1282BEUE.
Does MAX1282BCUE include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, MAX1282BCUE integrates a precision +2.500V ±0.5% internal reference with a dedicated REF pin and adjustable REFADJ terminal. The reference buffer supports ±1.5% voltage adjustment and can be disabled by pulling REFADJ to VDD1, enabling use of an external reference from 1V to VDD. This eliminates the need for external reference ICs in most applications.
What serial interface protocols does MAX1282BCUE support?
MAX1282BCUE supports SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols via its 4-wire serial interface (SCLK, DIN, DOUT, CS). It requires CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0 for SPI compatibility and includes SSTRB for direct TMS320-family DSP synchronization. No external logic is needed for interface translation.
How many analog input channels does MAX1282BCUE provide?
MAX1282BCUE provides four analog input channels (CH0–CH3) plus a common (COM) terminal, supporting either four single-ended inputs or two pseudo-differential pairs (CH0/CH1 and CH2/CH3). Channel selection is controlled via an 8-bit serial command word, and the input configuration (unipolar/bipolar, single-ended/pseudo-differential) is software configurable.
What power-saving modes are available on MAX1282BCUE?
MAX1282BCUE offers four software-selectable power modes: normal operation (2.5mA), reduced power (REDP, 1.3mA), fast power-down (FASTPD, 0.9mA), and full power-down (FULLPD, 2µA). Additionally, it features a hardwired SHDN pin for hardware-initiated shutdown. Serial interface access automatically wakes the device from any power-down state.
