Product details
Overview
The MAX14001AAP+ from Maxim Integrated is a configurable, isolated 10-bit analog-to-digital converter with integrated programmable voltage comparators, inrush current control, and isolated DC-DC power for binary input conditioning. It delivers 3.75kVRMS isolation, 10ksps ADC throughput, <150µs comparator response (unfiltered), and supports 12V–300V high-voltage binary inputs in industrial digital input modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14001AAP+ datasheet, MAX14001AAP+ pinout, MAX14001AAP+ application, or MAX14001AAP+ equivalent, this device serves as a single-chip solution for isolated multi-range binary sensing-enabling field-side diagnostics, programmable wetting pulses, noise-rejecting bias current, and SPI-configurable thresholds without external isolators or power supplies.
Technical Context
The MAX14001AAP+ integrates a SAR-based 10-bit ADC, dual-threshold magnitude comparator, isolated DC-DC converter (VDDF output), and two current DACs-one for programmable bias current (50µA–3.75mA) and one for programmable inrush current (50µA–105mA, 0–120ms). All field-side circuitry operates autonomously using the internal isolated supply, enabling diagnostics even with no input signal.
It implements a daisy-chainable 5MHz SPI interface for register configuration, real-time ADC data readout (filtered/unfiltered), and fault reporting via open-drain FAULT pin. The comparator output (COUT) responds to AIN voltage relative to THU/THL thresholds, with latency dependent on filter depth (2/4/8-sample moving average) and mode (voltage-triggered or FAST).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 3.75kVRMS for 60s (UL1577 certified); enables safe interfacing to 300V field-side inputs. |
| ADC Resolution & Speed | 10-bit SAR; 10ksps nominal throughput; provides sufficient resolution for ±0.5% full-scale binary threshold detection. |
| Comparator Latency | <150µs (unfiltered); ensures rapid binary state detection critical for contact bounce mitigation in relay monitoring. |
| Bias Current Range | Programmable 50µA–3.75mA (0.25mA steps); balances capacitive noise rejection against power dissipation in high-impedance inputs. |
| Inrush Current Control | Programmable magnitude (7mA steps) and duration (8ms steps); cleans relay contacts during closure without external timing circuitry. |

Pinout & Package
MAX14001AAP+ uses a 20-pin SSOP package (7.9mm × 7.33mm) with 5.5mm minimum creepage and clearance, rated for Group II CTI (Comparative Tracking Index >400), suitable for pollution degree 2 and climatic category 40/125/21.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDL | Logic-side power supply | 1.71V–5.5V input powering SPI interface, registers, and comparator logic; requires local 10µF||1000pF bypass to GNDL. |
| VDD | Isolated DC-DC primary supply | 3.0V–3.6V input powering the internal isolated DC-DC converter; enables field-side operation independent of input signal presence. |
| GNDL / GNDF | Logic- and field-side grounds | Galvanically separated ground domains; mandatory physical separation prevents isolation barrier compromise. |
| AIN / AGND | Analog input reference pair | AIN measures 0–1.25V differential to AGND; supports resistor-divider scaling for 12V–300V input range. |
| ISET | Bias/inrush current reference | Connect 120kΩ resistor to GNDF to set precision current reference; parasitic capacitance must be <10pF for accuracy. |
| GATE / IFET | High-voltage FET gate drive & current sink | GATE supplies gate bias to external depletion-mode FET; IFET sinks programmable inrush/bias current from FET source. |
| COUT | Digital comparator output | Open-drain logic-level output indicating AIN status vs. THU/THL thresholds; directly interfaces to microcontroller GPIO. |
| CS / SCLK / SDI / SDO | SPI interface signals | Standard 4-wire SPI (MOSI/MISO) with chip select; supports daisy-chaining multiple devices on shared bus. |
| FAULT | Diagnostic fault indicator | Open-drain active-low output latching conditions like UVLO, ADC error, or isolation fault; cleared via SPI register write. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated binary input conditioning applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX14002AAP+ | Fixed inrush current (49mA/48ms); no voltage-triggered mode; identical pinout, ADC, comparator, and bias current features. | Best suited for cost-sensitive designs where programmable inrush is unnecessary and FAST-mode-only operation is acceptable. | Select MAX14002AAP+ when simplified configuration and lower unit cost outweigh need for inrush customization. |
| ADI AD7403BRIZ-RL | 2nd-order sigma-delta modulator + digital filter; no integrated DC-DC, no inrush/bias DACs; requires external isolated power and comparator logic. | Requires additional components for full binary input functionality; used where ultra-high noise immunity (>20-bit effective resolution) is prioritized over integration. | Choose AD7403BRIZ-RL only when system already includes isolated power and needs higher-resolution modulation-not as a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with MAX14002AAP+, the MAX14001AAP+ adds full inrush configurability and voltage-triggered activation, enabling adaptive contact cleaning; compared with AD7403BRIZ-RL, it delivers complete signal chain integration-including isolated power, conditioning, and actuation-reducing board area and validation scope.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage range supported by the MAX14001AAP+?
The MAX14001AAP+ itself accepts 0V–1.25V at its AIN pin, but with an external resistor divider, it supports field-side input voltages from 12V to 300V DC. The device's 3.75kVRMS isolation rating and 5.5mm creepage ensure safe operation at these levels when properly laid out per IEC 61000-4-5 surge and IEC 60664-1 insulation coordination standards. The MAX14001AAP+ does not directly sense high voltage-it conditions scaled-down representations with calibrated accuracy.
How does the MAX14001AAP+ enable field-side diagnostics without an external power source?
The MAX14001AAP+ integrates an isolated DC-DC converter powered by VDD (3.0V–3.6V logic supply), generating VDDF to power all field-side circuitry-including the ADC, comparators, and current DACs-even when no input signal is present. This allows continuous self-tests, reference validation, and leakage checks on the field side independent of the binary input voltage, a capability confirmed in the device's functional description and typical operating characteristics.
Can the MAX14001AAP+ drive standard N-channel MOSFETs for inrush control?
No-the MAX14001AAP+ is designed to drive external depletion-mode high-voltage FETs (e.g., IXTY08N100D2), not enhancement-mode N-channel MOSFETs. Its GATE pin provides a buffered ~3.6V bias referenced to GNDF, insufficient to fully enhance most N-channel devices at high drain voltages. The datasheet explicitly specifies depletion-mode FET usage and includes gate drive capacitor recommendations (0.01µF to GNDF) aligned with depletion-mode gate characteristics.
What is the difference between voltage-triggered and FAST inrush modes in the MAX14001AAP+?
Voltage-triggered mode initiates inrush when the ADC reading crosses the INRT threshold; FAST mode triggers inrush as soon as the external FET can sink current-bypassing ADC conversion delay. Voltage mode enables precise voltage-based contact closure detection, while FAST mode offers minimal latency for time-critical applications. Only the MAX14001AAP+ supports both; the MAX14002AAP+ is FAST-mode only, as stated in the "High-Voltage FET Current Control" section.
Does the MAX14001AAP+ support external voltage references, and what are the limitations?
Yes-the MAX14001AAP+ supports both internal (1.25V ±5%) and external references via the REFIN pin. External references may be series-type (powered from VDDF) or shunt-type (powered by internal 70µA current source), but must draw ≤70µA total. Series references require 0.1µF bypass to AGND; shunt types connect directly between REFIN and AGND. Configuration is done via CFG register bits EXRF and EXTI, as defined in Table 1 of the datasheet.
