Product details
Overview
MAX1377ATP+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual, simultaneous-sampling, 12-bit SAR ADC with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface and internal 2.048V reference. It operates from a 2.7V–3.6V analog supply and 1.8V–AVDD digital supply, delivers 1.25Msps per channel, achieves 70dB SINAD and 84dBc SFDR at 500kHz input, and targets high-precision industrial process control and motor-control data acquisition systems requiring synchronized dual-channel sampling.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1377ATP+ datasheet, MAX1377ATP+ pinout, MAX1377ATP+ application, or MAX1377ATP+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for dual-channel 12-bit simultaneous-sampling ADC selection in automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C) embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX1377ATP+ implements two independent 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADCs with true simultaneous sampling-critical for phase-coherent measurements in motor current sensing and power quality monitoring. Its dual-output serial interface transfers full 12-bit results from both channels concurrently at up to 1.25Msps, doubling effective throughput versus single-output mode.
It supports unipolar (0–VREF) or bipolar (±VREF/2) input ranges via U/B control, accepts differential or two single-ended inputs per channel, and features internal reference (2.048V ±10mV) with ±50ppm/°C tempco or external reference selection via REFSEL. Power management includes partial (2mA) and full (1µA) power-down modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
MAX1377ATP+ is housed in a 20-pin TQFN-EP (4mm × 4mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation with Pin 1 marked by dot or bevel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 REFSEL | Reference select input | Logic-level control to enable internal reference (low) or external reference (high); determines VREF source and power state of reference circuitry. |
| 2 REF | Reference output/input | Provides 2.048V internal reference (bypassed to RGND) or accepts external reference voltage (1.0V–AVDD+0.05V). |
| 3 RGND | Reference ground | Common negative reference point for bipolar mode; serves as shared analog return for all four inputs in unipolar mode. |
| 4, 18 AGND | Analog ground | Dedicated low-noise ground return for analog circuitry; must be separated from DGND and connected at single point. |
| 5 AVDD | Analog supply | 2.7V–3.6V power for ADC core, track-and-hold, and reference; requires 10µF || 10nF local bypass to AGND. |
| 6 AIN2A | Channel 2 positive input | Primary analog input for ADC2; supports true-differential (with AIN2B) or single-ended configuration relative to RGND. |
| 7 AIN2B | Channel 2 negative input | Secondary analog input for ADC2; enables differential measurement or second single-ended channel when U/B = 1. |
| 8 AIN1A | Channel 1 positive input | Primary analog input for ADC1; functionally identical to AIN2A with matched timing and accuracy specs. |
| 9 AIN1B | Channel 1 negative input | Secondary analog input for ADC1; ensures simultaneous sampling alignment with AIN2B for phase-critical applications. |
| 10 CNVST | Convert start input | Edge-triggered command initiating simultaneous sampling on both ADCs; defines aperture timing for coherent acquisition. |
| 11 SCLK | Serial clock input | 20MHz max SPI-compatible clock driving data transfer; controls timing of DOUT1/DOUT2 output validity and bit alignment. |
| 12 CS | Chip select input | Active-low enable for serial interface; allows multiple devices on shared bus and reduces standby current when deasserted. |
| 13 DOUT1 | Channel 1 serial output | 12-bit MSB-first data stream for ADC1; operates independently in dual-output mode or multiplexed in single-output mode. |
| 14 DOUT2 | Channel 2 serial output | 12-bit MSB-first data stream for ADC2; enables parallel readout without inter-channel latency skew. |
| 15 U/B | Unipolar/bipolar select | Configures input range: low = unipolar (0–VREF), high = bipolar (±VREF/2); sets RGND role and full-scale scaling. |
| 16 S/D | Single/dual output select | Selects interface mode: low = dual outputs (1.25Msps), high = single output (0.625Msps); affects timing and pin usage. |
| 17 SEL | Input mux select | Chooses between 2×2 mux (AIN1A/AIN1B/AIN2A/AIN2B) or two differential pairs; defines analog input topology. |
| 19 DGND | Digital ground | Return path for digital I/O and logic; must be isolated from AGND except at single-point star connection. |
| 20 VL | Digital supply | 1.8V–AVDD logic supply; powers serial interface and control logic; decoupling required for noise-sensitive timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel 12-bit simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8556IPM | 6-channel, 16-bit SAR with 1.25Msps/ch, 5V analog supply, no integrated reference, larger 64-pin HTQFP package. | Higher resolution for precision test equipment; lacks internal reference and automotive temp grade. | Choose when 16-bit resolution and multi-channel count outweigh size, cost, and reference integration needs. |
| AD7327BRUZ | 8-channel, 12-bit SAR with 1Msps/ch, ±10V input range, 3V/5V dual supply, internal reference, 24-pin TSSOP. | Wider input range suits industrial ±10V sensor interfaces; lower throughput and non-automotive temp grade (-40°C to +85°C). | Prefer for legacy ±10V instrumentation systems where channel count >2 and extended voltage range are mandatory. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MAX1377ATP+?
The MAX1377ATP+ supports a maximum throughput rate of 1.25Msps per channel in dual-output mode (S/D = 0). This rate is achieved using a 20MHz SCLK and 16-clock-cycle conversion time. In single-output mode (S/D = 1), the maximum rate drops to 0.625Msps due to time-multiplexed data transfer. The device maintains full linear bandwidth (1MHz) only above 10ksps sample rates.
Does the MAX1377ATP+ include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the MAX1377ATP+ integrates a precision 2.048V internal reference with ±10mV initial accuracy and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. When REFSEL is driven low, the internal reference is enabled and appears at the REF pin, requiring a ≥1µF capacitor to RGND. This eliminates the need for external reference ICs in most industrial and automotive applications.
What input configurations does the MAX1377ATP+ support?
The MAX1377ATP+ supports both true-differential and single-ended input modes per channel. Using the U/B pin, users select unipolar (0–VREF) or bipolar (±VREF/2) full-scale ranges. The SEL pin configures either a 2×2 analog mux (four independent inputs) or two differential pairs (AIN1A/AIN1B and AIN2A/AIN2B), enabling flexible sensor interface topologies.
How does the MAX1377ATP+ handle power management?
The MAX1377ATP+ provides two power-down modes: partial power-down (2mA supply current) retains reference and bias circuits for fast wake-up (<2ms), while full power-down reduces current to 1µA. These modes are controlled via dedicated logic inputs and are fully specified across the -40°C to +125°C range, supporting energy-efficient operation in battery-backed or intermittent-acquisition systems.
Is the MAX1377ATP+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX1377ATP+ is specified for the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and packaged in a 20-pin TQFN-EP with exposed pad for thermal performance. Its electrical specifications-including DC accuracy, dynamic performance, and power consumption-are guaranteed across this full range, making it suitable for engine control units, electric power steering, and battery management systems.
