Product details
Overview
MAX1309ECM+ from Maxim Integrated is a 12-bit, 4-channel simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with ±5V input range and ±16.5V fault-tolerant inputs. It achieves 0.9μs two-channel conversion time, 456ksps per channel throughput at eight-channel operation, and features internal 2.5V reference, 20MHz parallel interface, and 48-pin LQFP package. It serves in multiphase motor control systems requiring synchronized voltage/current sampling across isolated power stages.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1309ECM+ datasheet, MAX1309ECM+ pinout, MAX1309ECM+ application, or MAX1309ECM+ equivalent, key selection criteria include bipolar ±5V input compatibility, channel-to-channel T/H match ≤100ps, 84dBc SFDR at 500kHz, internal/external clock flexibility, and fault-tolerant analog input protection for industrial power monitoring interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX1309ECM+ implements independent track-and-hold (T/H) circuitry per channel to enable true simultaneous sampling-critical for phase-coherent acquisition in motor current loops and grid synchronization. Its analog front-end supports ±5V differential input ranges with ±16.5V fault tolerance, and internal biasing ensures stable operation without external level-shifting.
Conversion is controlled via a 12-bit bidirectional parallel bus operating at up to 20MHz, with timing governed by either internal 15MHz clock or external clock up to 20MHz. The device uses separate analog (AVDD = +4.75V to +5.25V) and digital (DVDD = +2.7V to +5.25V) supplies, enabling mixed-voltage system integration while maintaining 71dB SINAD and ±1 LSB INL performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes for high-fidelity waveform capture in vibration analysis and power quality monitoring. |
| Input Range | ±5V - matches standard industrial sensor outputs and motor phase voltage levels without external scaling. |
| Simultaneous Channels | 4 - enables full three-phase current + neutral or voltage + current sampling in a single acquisition cycle. |
| Conversion Time | 0.9μs for two channels - supports >1MSps aggregate throughput for real-time closed-loop control at 10kHz update rates. |
| SFDR / THD | 84dBc / -86dBc at fIN = 500kHz - ensures clean spectral representation for harmonic distortion analysis in power-grid applications. |
| Reference | +2.5V internal or +2.0V to +3.0V external - allows precision calibration traceability or system-level reference sharing across multiple ADCs. |
| Supply Current | 54mA analog, 1.3mA digital - enables low-power operation in thermally constrained industrial controllers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1309ECM+ is housed in a 48-pin 7mm × 7mm LQFP package with exposed thermal pad (RoHS-compliant, lead-free). Pin functions are identical across the MAX1308–MAX1310 family and validated per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH3 | Analog Input Channels | Four independent ±5V-capable inputs with ±16.5V fault tolerance; each routed to dedicated T/H amplifier for simultaneous sampling. |
| AVDD, AGND (Pins 1,15,17 / 2,3,14,16,23) | Analog Power & Ground | Multiple AVDD/AGND pins reduce supply impedance and improve PSRR; must be decoupled locally with 0.1µF ceramic capacitors. |
| D0–D11 | 12-Bit Parallel Data Bus | Bidirectional interface supporting 20MHz read/write; tri-state when RD or CS high-enables direct connection to FPGA or microcontroller data buses. |
| CONVST, EOC, EOLC | Control & Status Signals | CONVST initiates conversion; EOC signals completion of any channel; EOLC marks end of last selected channel-enabling precise multi-channel sequencing. |
| REF, REFMS, REF+, COM, REF- | Reference Network | Supports internal 2.5V reference or external 2.0–3.0V source; REF+/REF-/COM form Kelvin-connected reference divider for stable 2.5V differential reference. |
| INTCLK/EXTCLK, CLK | Clock Selection & Input | INTCLK/EXTCLK pin selects internal 15MHz oscillator or external clock up to 20MHz-eliminates need for external crystal in space-constrained designs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-channel simultaneous sampling | Enables phase-accurate acquisition across motor phases or power lines without time-skew-induced measurement error. |
| ±16.5V fault-tolerant inputs | Withstands transient overvoltage events common in industrial motor drives and grid-connected inverters without damage or latch-up. |
| 100ps channel-to-channel T/H match | Ensures <0.01° phase error at 50Hz-critical for accurate power-factor and reactive power calculations. |
| Internal 2.5V reference with 30ppm/°C drift | Reduces BOM count and layout complexity vs. external reference ICs while maintaining ±0.5LSB offset stability over temperature. |
| Power-saving shutdown mode | Reduces analog supply current to <10µA-ideal for wake-on-event architectures in energy-conscious industrial gateways. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-channel simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7656ASTZ | 16-bit resolution, ±10V input range, SPI interface only, no internal reference | Higher precision for metrology; requires external reference and level-shifting for ±5V systems | Choose AD7656ASTZ when 16-bit resolution and ±10V range are mandatory, and SPI interface aligns with host processor architecture. |
| ADS8588SIPM | 18-bit resolution, ±10V input, parallel + SPI interface, 2.5V internal reference, 1.25μs conversion | Superior dynamic range for high-end power analyzers; larger 64-pin HTQFP package increases PCB area | Choose ADS8588SIPM when 18-bit ENOB and integrated reference stability outweigh cost and size constraints in test equipment. |
Compared with MAX1309ECM+, AD7656ASTZ offers higher resolution but lacks internal reference and fault tolerance, while ADS8588SIPM provides superior noise performance at the cost of larger footprint and higher power-making MAX1309ECM+ optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial motor control where ±5V range and robustness are primary.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported external clock frequency for MAX1309ECM+?
The MAX1309ECM+ accepts external clock frequencies from 0.1MHz to 20MHz, with guaranteed timing performance up to 20MHz. At 20MHz, it achieves 456ksps per channel throughput in 8-channel mode. Operation above 20MHz violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause metastability or data corruption on the parallel bus.
Does MAX1309ECM+ support unipolar input ranges?
No, MAX1309ECM+ is specified exclusively for ±5V bipolar input operation with ±16.5V fault tolerance. It belongs to the MAX1308–MAX1310 subgroup, which does not support 0 to +5V unipolar ranges-those are reserved for MAX1304–MAX1306 variants. Attempting unipolar configurations will violate input voltage specifications and risk damage.
Can MAX1309ECM+ operate with only the internal reference enabled?
Yes, MAX1309ECM+ operates fully with its internal +2.5V reference enabled-no external reference required. Bypass REF and REFMS with ≥0.01µF capacitors to AGND, connect MSV to AGND (bipolar mode), and tie INTCLK/EXTCLK to AGND for external clock or AVDD for internal clock. Internal reference drift is 30ppm/°C, supporting stable operation across -40°C to +85°C.
How many analog input channels does MAX1309ECM+ have, and are they all simultaneously sampled?
MAX1309ECM+ has four analog input channels (CH0–CH3), and all four are simultaneously sampled using independent track-and-hold circuitry. This guarantees zero time skew between channels-critical for vector-based calculations in motor control and power monitoring. Channel selection is software-configurable via the parallel interface.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to MAX1309ECM+?
MAX1309ECM+ uses a 48-pin LQFP package (7mm × 7mm footprint) with exposed thermal pad. Its maximum power dissipation is 1818.2mW at +70°C, derating linearly above that temperature. Junction temperature must not exceed +150°C, and the device is rated for continuous operation from -40°C to +85°C ambient-validated per Maxim's extended temperature qualification.
