Product details
Overview
MAX1295BEEI+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with internal +2.5V reference, 265ksps sampling rate, and 6-channel single-ended / 3-channel pseudo-differential analog input multiplexer. It operates from a single +2.7V to +3.6V supply and features fast 2µs wake-up from shutdown, making it suitable for battery-powered patient monitoring and portable data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1295BEEI+ datasheet, MAX1295BEEI+ pinout, MAX1295BEEI+ application, or MAX1295BEEI+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±1 LSB INL over –40°C to +85°C, software-configurable unipolar/bipolar operation, tri-state parallel interface timing, and QSOP-28 package compatibility with industrial control and energy management signal chains.
Technical Context
The MAX1295BEEI+ implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with an integrated track/hold stage offering 3MHz full-power bandwidth and 250kHz full-linear bandwidth. Its analog input structure supports both single-ended (CH0–CH5) and pseudo-differential (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5) configurations via software-controlled SGL/DIF and address bits A2–A0.
Control logic accepts an 8-bit configuration byte (D7–D0) defining acquisition mode (internal/external), clock source (internal/external), power-down state (full/standby), and input polarity (unipolar/bipolar). The device asserts INT low upon conversion completion and tri-states digital outputs when CS is high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR output with binary (unipolar) or two's complement (bipolar) format |
| Sampling Rate | 265ksps maximum - enables real-time capture of signals up to 132.5kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| INL | ±1 LSB over –40°C to +85°C - ensures monotonicity and <0.025% full-scale linearity error in industrial environments |
| Reference | +2.5V internal bandgap reference - eliminates need for external precision reference in space-constrained designs |
| Supply Current | 1.9mA at 265ksps, 2µA in shutdown - supports ultra-low-power operation in intermittent-sampling applications |
| Analog Input Channels | 6 single-ended or 3 pseudo-differential channels - provides flexible sensor interfacing without external MUX |
| Package | 28-pin QSOP - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and thermal performance up to +85°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
MAX1295BEEI+ is housed in a 28-pin QSOP package with 0.154" body width and standard JEDEC MS-013AC outline. Pin pitch is 0.025", and thermal pad is not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH5 | Analog input channels | Selectable as positive inputs in single-ended mode or paired as differential pairs (e.g., CH0/CH1); all six available only on MAX1295 |
| COM | Analog common reference | Sets zero-code voltage in single-ended mode; must remain stable within ±0.5 LSB during conversion |
| REF | Reference buffer output / external reference input | Delivers +2.5V internal reference; bypassed with 4.7µF capacitor to GND when internal reference is used |
| REFADJ | Reference buffer bias control | Connect to VDD to disable internal bandgap when using external reference; otherwise bypass with 0.01µF capacitor |
| CS | Active-low chip select | Tri-states D0–D11 and INT when high; enables parallel bus sharing with other peripherals |
| WR | Active-low write strobe | Latches 8-bit control byte on rising edge; initiates acquisition/conversion depending on ACQMOD bit setting |
| RD | Active-low read strobe | Enables 12-bit parallel output on falling edge; clears INT flag on first read cycle |
| CLK | Clock input | Accepts 100kHz–4.8MHz external clock; tied high/low in internal clock mode to prevent floating |
| INT | Interrupt output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating conversion completion and data readiness |
| D0–D11 | Three-state bidirectional data bus | Multiplexed for control byte input and conversion result output; compatible with 16-bit µP data buses |
| VDD | Analog/digital supply | +2.7V to +3.6V single supply; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND |
| GND | Analog and digital ground | Common return for analog inputs, reference, and digital I/O; layout separation recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input topology | Single-ended (6 ch) or pseudo-differential (3 ch) mode selected via SGL/DIF bit - eliminates external analog switch in multi-sensor systems |
| Unipolar/bipolar input range | 0V to +2.5V (unipolar) or –1.25V to +1.25V (bipolar) - supports both grounded and floating sensor outputs without level-shifting circuitry |
| Two-tier power-down | Standby mode (≤10µA) and full shutdown (2µA) - enables microcontroller-governed sleep/wake cycles in portable instrumentation |
| Internal track/hold with 3MHz BW | Eliminates need for external sample-and-hold IC while supporting undersampling of RF or transient signals beyond Nyquist |
| Parallel 12-bit interface timing | Guaranteed tDO ≤ 110ns and tINT1 ≤ 100ns - interfaces directly with 8051, ARM Cortex-M, and FPGA I/O without glue logic |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1295ACEI | Same 28-pin QSOP package and pinout; ±0.5 LSB INL over 0°C to +70°C (vs. ±1 LSB over –40°C to +85°C) | Targeted at commercial-temperature consumer or lab equipment where extended temperature range is unnecessary | Select MAX1295ACEI only if operating ambient stays within 0°C–70°C and tighter INL is required; MAX1295BEEI+ preferred for industrial deployment |
| ADS7822U | 8-pin SOIC package, SPI interface, 200ksps max, no internal reference - requires external REF and level-shifting for 3V µP | Used in cost-sensitive, low-channel-count applications where serial interface and smaller footprint outweigh parallel speed needs | Choose ADS7822U when board space is critical and µP lacks parallel bus; MAX1295BEEI+ remains optimal for high-throughput, reference-integrated designs |
Compared with MAX1295ACEI, MAX1295BEEI+ trades ±0.5 LSB INL for guaranteed ±1 LSB performance across –40°C to +85°C, enabling drop-in use in automotive-adjacent and outdoor industrial systems. Against ADS7822U, MAX1295BEEI+ delivers higher throughput, integrated reference, and parallel interface - at the cost of larger package and higher pin count.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX1295BEEI+?
The MAX1295BEEI+ is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C. This extended industrial temperature range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and supported by electrical specifications tested across this full range, including ±1 LSB INL and 1.9mA supply current at 265ksps. The device uses the "E" grade suffix to denote this qualification.
Does MAX1295BEEI+ require an external reference?
No, MAX1295BEEI+ includes a precision +2.5V internal bandgap reference with ±20ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 2.49V to 2.51V output tolerance. An external reference may be used by connecting REFADJ to VDD and applying a stable voltage to the REF pin, but it is not required - the internal reference is fully functional and calibrated.
How many analog input channels does MAX1295BEEI+ support?
MAX1295BEEI+ supports six analog input channels (CH0–CH5) in single-ended mode, or three pseudo-differential channel pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3, CH4/CH5) when configured via the SGL/DIF control bit. This 6-/3-channel capability is exclusive to the MAX1295 family; the MAX1297 variant offers only two single-ended inputs.
What power-down modes are available on MAX1295BEEI+?
MAX1295BEEI+ provides two software-selectable power-down modes: Standby mode (≤10µA supply current) and Full Power-Down mode (2µA). Both are controlled via PD1/PD0 bits in the 8-bit configuration byte. Exiting either mode takes only 2µs, enabling rapid wake-up for burst-mode sampling without sacrificing energy efficiency.
Is MAX1295BEEI+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX1295/MAX1297 family?
Yes, MAX1295BEEI+ shares identical 28-pin QSOP pinout and signal mapping with all MAX1295 variants (e.g., MAX1295ACEI, MAX1295AEEI). It is not pin-compatible with MAX1297 devices, which use a 24-pin QSOP package and omit CH2–CH5 pins. Direct substitution among MAX1295-grade parts requires no PCB changes.
