Product details
Overview
MAX1282BCUE+T 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 input modes, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 4-wire serial interface - used in portable data loggers and battery-powered medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1282BCUE+T datasheet, MAX1282BCUE+T pinout, MAX1282BCUE+T application, or MAX1282BCUE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400ksps throughput at 2.5mA supply current, ±1 LSB INL over 0°C to +70°C, TSSOP-16 package compatibility, and support for pseudo-differential channel pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3).
Technical Context
The MAX1282BCUE+T 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 fixed at 400ns and conversion time of 2.5µs per sample.
It supports four software-selectable power modes (normal, REDP, FASTPD, FULLPD) and features a reference-buffer amplifier with ±1.5% REFADJ adjustment range. The device uses a hardwired SHDN pin and automatically powers up on serial interface access, enabling low-duty-cycle operation between conversions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR ADC - delivers 4096 discrete output codes with monotonic transfer function and no missing codes over temperature. |
| Sampling Rate | 400ksps - enables real-time capture of signals up to 200kHz full-linear bandwidth (–3dB point) with SINAD > 68dB. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB INL, ±1 LSB DNL - ensures accurate end-point calibration and linearity-critical applications like process control transducers. |
| Reference | Internal +2.500V ±0.8mV (±0.032%) - stable over temperature (±15ppm/°C), adjustable via REFADJ pin; external reference also supported (1V to VDD). |
| Supply Current | 2.5mA at 400ksps - scales down to 0.9mA (FASTPD) and 2µA (FULLPD), critical for battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Input Configuration | Software-selectable 4-channel single-ended or 2-channel pseudo-differential - supports CH0/CH1 and CH2/CH3 differential pairs with COM as common reference. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - specified performance guaranteed across industrial ambient range without derating. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1282BCUE+T 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; VDD1 powers analog core, VDD2 powers digital interface - both require 4.5V–5.5V for MAX1282BCUE+T operation. |
| CH0–CH3 | Analog input channels | Single-ended inputs referenced to COM; in pseudo-differential mode, CH0/CH1 and CH2/CH3 form differential pairs - input voltage range: GND to VDD1. |
| COM | Common-mode reference | Sets zero-code voltage in single-ended mode; must remain stable within ±0.5LSB (±0.1LSB for best accuracy) during conversion. |
| REF | Reference buffer output / external ref input | Provides 2.500V nominal output when internal reference enabled; disable buffer by pulling REFADJ to VDD1 to use external reference (1V–VDD). |
| REFADJ | Reference adjust input | Allows ±1.5% fine-tuning of internal reference; bypass with 0.01µF capacitor to GND; threshold for buffer disable is VDD1 – 1.0V. |
| SCLK, DIN, DOUT, CS, SSTRB | Serial interface signals | 4-wire SPI-compatible interface: CS active-low enables communication; SCLK up to 6.4MHz clocks 8-bit control byte and 12-bit result; SSTRB pulses before MSB for DSP synchronization. |
| SHDN | Hardware shutdown control | Active-low pin reduces supply current to 2µA (typ); overrides software power modes and forces full power-down regardless of PD bits. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground | Single ground plane recommended; pin 10 serves as primary return for analog and digital sections - critical for noise-sensitive ADC performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated track/hold + multiplexer | Eliminates need for external T/H circuitry; 400ns acquisition time enables high-fidelity sampling of fast-rising sensor outputs. |
| Four software-selectable power modes | Enables dynamic power scaling: 2.5mA (normal), 1.3mA (REDP), 0.9mA (FASTPD), 2µA (FULLPD) - ideal for duty-cycled data acquisition systems. |
| Pseudo-differential input architecture | Supports true differential measurements (CH0–CH1, CH2–CH3) while retaining single-ended simplicity - improves CMRR without requiring matched external components. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/TMS320 compatibility | Direct connection to microcontrollers and DSPs without level shifters or glue logic; SSTRB output synchronizes with MSB for deterministic timing in real-time control loops. |
| Internal +2.5V reference with ±1.5% adjustability | Reduces BOM count and layout area; REFADJ allows system-level gain calibration; ±15ppm/°C TC ensures stability across operating temperature range. |

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 ref; 1.5mW typical power at 200ksps. | Limited to single-channel input; lacks multiplexer, track/hold, and software-configurable modes - suitable only for simple point-measurement tasks. | Select when board space is constrained and system already provides precision reference; not drop-in due to pin count, channel count, and feature set mismatch. |
| MAX11100ETE+ | TQFN-16, 1MSPS, internal 4.096V reference, 2.5V–3.6V supply only; supports 8-channel scan mode. | Higher speed and resolution but incompatible supply range (2.5V–3.6V vs. 4.5V–5.5V); different reference voltage complicates signal chain scaling. | Choose for higher throughput in low-voltage systems; MAX1282BCUE+T remains preferred for 5V legacy designs requiring proven 0°C–+70°C reliability. |
Compared with ADS7816U and MAX11100ETE+, the MAX1282BCUE+T uniquely balances 400ksps throughput, integrated reference, 4-channel flexibility, and 5V single-supply operation - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained portable instrumentation where full-feature integration reduces total solution size and validation effort.

FAQ
What is the maximum serial clock frequency supported by MAX1282BCUE+T?
The MAX1282BCUE+T supports a maximum SCLK frequency of 6.4MHz under standard operating conditions (VDD = 4.5V–5.5V, TA = 0°C to +70°C). This enables the full 400ksps sampling rate with 16 clock cycles per conversion. Exceeding 6.4MHz may cause timing violations in the internal SAR logic or reduced AC performance due to aperture jitter increase.
Does MAX1282BCUE+T support true differential input mode?
No, the MAX1282BCUE+T implements pseudo-differential input architecture: only the positive input (IN+) is actively sampled, while the negative input (IN−) is held stable during conversion. True differential sampling (simultaneous IN+/IN− capture) is not supported. Differential operation is limited to CH0/CH1 and CH2/CH3 channel pairs with COM as reference.
Can MAX1282BCUE+T operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, MAX1282BCUE+T supports external reference operation. To enable it, pull REFADJ to VDD1 to disable the internal reference buffer, then apply a stable 1.0V to VDD voltage to the REF pin. Performance specifications (e.g., INL, gain error) assume the external reference meets noise and stability requirements outlined in the datasheet - deviations degrade effective resolution.
What is the purpose of the SSTRB pin on MAX1282BCUE+T?
The SSTRB (Serial Strobe) pin on MAX1282BCUE+T pulses high for one SCLK period immediately before the MSB of the conversion result appears on DOUT. This strobe enables precise synchronization with TMS320-family DSPs and other controllers that require deterministic data-valid timing - eliminating need for additional edge-detection logic or software polling delays.
How does the SHDN pin interact with software power modes in MAX1282BCUE+T?
The SHDN pin on MAX1282BCUE+T is hardware-override: when pulled low, it forces immediate entry into full power-down mode (2µA supply current), regardless of software-configured PD bits or active conversion state. Releasing SHDN returns the device to its last software-selected power mode - making it ideal for system-level sleep/wake coordination independent of firmware state.
