Product details
Overview
The MAX1318ECM+T from Maxim Integrated is a 2-channel, 14-bit simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with independent track/hold per channel, 0 to +5V unipolar input range, ±6.0V fault-tolerant inputs, and 2.5µs conversion time for two channels. It delivers 250ksps throughput per channel at full 8-channel operation and supports motor control and power-grid synchronization applications requiring precise phase-coherent sampling.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1318ECM+T datasheet, MAX1318ECM+T pinout, MAX1318ECM+T application, or MAX1318ECM+T equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous dual-channel sampling capability, ±6V fault tolerance on CH0/CH1, internal 2.5V reference, 48-pin LQFP package, and support for external clock up to 12.5MHz with 16.6MHz parallel interface timing.
Technical Context
This ADC employs dedicated track/hold amplifiers per input channel to preserve inter-channel phase alignment-critical for multiphase waveform analysis. Its architecture supports both internal (10MHz) and external clocking, with configurable conversion start via CONVST edge-triggering and end-of-conversion signaling via EOC/EOLC outputs.
The device integrates a 14-bit bidirectional parallel interface (D0–D13), programmable channel enable via ALLON and configuration register, and flexible reference options: internal 2.5V ±0.025V or external 2.0V–3.0V. Analog and digital supplies are fully isolated (AVDD: +4.75V to +5.25V; DVDD: +2.7V to +5.25V), enabling noise-sensitive industrial signal acquisition.

Pinout & Package
MAX1318ECM+T is housed in a 48-pin LQFP package (7mm × 7mm footprint) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin assignments are optimized for analog/digital isolation: AVDD/AGND pins grouped on one side, DVDD/DGND on another, and analog inputs (CH0, CH1) adjacent to MSV, REFMS, and reference bypass nodes (REF+, COM, REF−).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0, CH1 | Analog Input Channel 0 / 1 | Dedicated differential-capable inputs supporting simultaneous sampling with 50ps channel-to-channel T/H matching |
| MSV | Midscale Voltage Bypass | Requires 2.2µF + 0.1µF capacitor to AGND for stable unipolar mid-scale reference point |
| REFMS, REF | Internal Reference Bypass / Input | Supports internal 2.5V reference (bypass REFMS with 0.1µF); REF accepts external 2.0–3.0V precision reference |
| REF+, COM, REF− | Reference Decoupling Nodes | Require specific capacitor network (2.2µF || 0.1µF between REF+/REF−; 2.2µF || 0.1µF from COM to AGND) |
| CONVST | Convert-Start Input | Rising-edge triggered; initiates simultaneous sampling and conversion sequence for all enabled channels |
| EOC / EOLC | End-of-Conversion Outputs | EOC pulses low after each conversion; EOLC asserts low only after final channel conversion completes |
| D0–D13 | 14-Bit Parallel Data Bus | Bidirectional interface operating at up to 16.6MHz; high-impedance when RD or CS is high |
| INTCLK/EXTCLK | Clock Mode Select | Tied to AVDD for internal 10MHz clock; tied to AGND to enable external clock on CLK pin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, 14-bit simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8556IPMR | 6-channel, 16-bit, ±10V input range; requires external reference; higher power (75mA analog) | Targeted at high-accuracy test equipment-not optimized for compact motor control PCBs | Select when 16-bit resolution and bipolar input are mandatory; avoid if unipolar 0–5V and low power are primary constraints. |
| AD7606BSTZ | 8-channel, 16-bit, ±10V input; integrated reference; SPI interface only (no parallel bus) | Designed for data acquisition systems with microcontroller host-lacks direct FPGA/ASIC parallel interfacing | Choose for SPI-based designs needing higher channel count; not suitable where 14-bit parallel interface timing is fixed in legacy hardware. |
Compared with ADS8556IPMR and AD7606BSTZ, the MAX1318ECM+T offers optimal balance of 14-bit precision, 0–5V unipolar compatibility, 48-pin LQFP footprint, and 16.6MHz parallel interface-making it uniquely suited for cost-sensitive, space-constrained motor control and power monitoring modules requiring deterministic timing.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX1318ECM+T analog inputs can withstand?
The MAX1318ECM+T analog inputs (CH0 and CH1) are rated for ±6.0V fault tolerance relative to AGND. This specification allows the device to survive transient overvoltages-such as inductive kickback or ESD events-without damage or performance degradation, eliminating the need for external protection components in many industrial installations. The MAX1318ECM+T maintains this rating across its full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Does the MAX1318ECM+T require an external reference voltage, or does it include an internal one?
The MAX1318ECM+T includes a precision internal 2.5V reference (±0.025V, 30ppm/°C) that can be used directly by connecting REFMS and REF appropriately and bypassing with recommended capacitors. An external reference (2.0V to 3.0V) may also be applied to REF for higher accuracy or system-level reference sharing. The MAX1318ECM+T does not require an external reference to operate, simplifying design and reducing BOM cost.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1318ECM+T support, and what is their sampling behavior?
The MAX1318ECM+T supports exactly two analog input channels (CH0 and CH1), each with a dedicated track/hold amplifier. These channels sample simultaneously on the rising edge of CONVST, preserving inter-channel phase relationship with 50ps matching. Unlike multiplexed ADCs, the MAX1318ECM+T does not share T/H circuitry-ensuring true concurrent acquisition critical for vector-based measurements in motor control and power analytics.
What package type and pin count does the MAX1318ECM+T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The MAX1318ECM+T is supplied in a 48-pin LQFP package (7mm × 7mm body, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. It is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, meeting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) requirements. The package supports standard reflow profiles and provides adequate thermal dissipation for continuous operation at full throughput (46mA analog supply current).
Can the MAX1318ECM+T operate with separate analog and digital supply voltages, and what are the valid ranges?
Yes, the MAX1318ECM+T requires independent analog and digital supplies: AVDD must be +4.75V to +5.25V (typical +5V), while DVDD operates from +2.7V to +5.25V (typical +3V). This separation minimizes digital noise coupling into sensitive analog circuitry. The device specifies strict AGND–DGND potential difference limits (±0.3V), requiring single-point star grounding per layout guidelines in the datasheet to maintain specified SNR and THD performance.
