Product details
Overview
The MAX1415AEWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit, low-power, 2-channel sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated PGA (gain 1–128), on-chip input buffer, and internal oscillator (1MHz or 2.4576MHz). It delivers no missing codes, ±0.0015% INL (max), and >98dB 50Hz/60Hz rejection - optimized for precision industrial sensing in weigh scales, strain-gauge systems, and loop-powered transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1415AEWE+ datasheet, MAX1415AEWE+ pinout, MAX1415AEWE+ application, or MAX1415AEWE+ equivalent, this device supports SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE serial interface, operates from 2.7V to 3.6V, features on-demand offset/gain self-calibration, and targets high-accuracy DC measurement applications requiring stable reference rejection and low power (<1.2mW typical).
Technical Context
The MAX1415AEWE+ implements a second-order sigma-delta modulator with digital filter, achieving 16-bit resolution without missing codes across two fully differential analog inputs (AIN1±, AIN2±). Its architecture includes programmable gain amplifier (PGA), optional input buffering, and dual-clock operation (internal or external CLKIN up to 2.4576MHz).
It supports unipolar/bipolar input ranges referenced to an external differential reference (REF±), provides user-programmable offset/gain registers, and enables system-level calibration via dedicated DRDY, CS, DIN, DOUT, and RESET signals - all synchronized to the selected clock source and data rate configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage for precision DC measurements. |
| INL (max) | ±0.0015% FSR at gain = 1, bipolar/unbuffered - ensures sub-1-LSB linearity error over full scale. |
| Power consumption | 1.2mW max at 3V - enables battery or loop-powered operation without thermal derating. |
| 50/60Hz rejection | >98dB normal-mode - eliminates mains interference in industrial environments without external notch filters. |
| Supply range | 2.7V to 3.6V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V logic rails, and isolated supply domains. |
| PGA gain | 1 to 128 programmable - allows direct interfacing with µV-level sensor outputs (e.g., load cells, RTDs). |
| Operating temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded instrumentation and field-deployed sensors. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1415AEWE+ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5.0mm, 0.65mm pitch), thermally enhanced for stable operation in compact industrial modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SCLK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all serial data transfers; supports up to 2.4576MHz external clock or internal oscillator output. |
| 2 DIN | Serial data input | Accepts command and configuration bits (e.g., gain, channel select, calibration mode) during CS low. |
| 3 DOUT | Serial data output | Tri-state output delivering conversion results and status flags; driven only when CS is low and SCLK active. |
| 4 CS | Chip select | Active-low enable for serial interface; initiates frame sync and controls DOUT output state. |
| 5 RESET | Hardware reset | Asynchronous active-low signal that clears internal registers and forces default configuration on rising edge. |
| 6 DRDY | Data ready indicator | Open-drain output pulses low when conversion result is valid and ready for readout. |
| 7 CLKIN | External clock input | Accepts 400kHz–2.5MHz square wave; disables internal oscillator when driven externally. |
| 8 CLKOUT | Internal clock output | Provides buffered internal oscillator output (1MHz or 2.4576MHz) for system clock distribution. |
| 9 VDD | Positive supply | 2.7V–3.6V analog/digital supply; decoupling required at pin for noise-sensitive sigma-delta operation. |
| 10 GND | Analog/digital ground | Single ground plane recommended; separates reference and digital return paths internally. |
| 11 REF+ | Differential reference positive | Accepts 1.00V–1.75V external reference voltage; sets full-scale input range with PGA gain scaling. |
| 12 REF- | Differential reference negative | Reference return node; must be tied to clean ground or bias point matching REF+ common-mode. |
| 13 AIN1+ | Channel 1 differential input (+) | High-impedance input for first fully differential sensor pair; supports buffered/unbuffered modes. |
| 14 AIN1- | Channel 1 differential input (–) | Paired with AIN1+; common-mode range shifts with PGA gain and buffer selection (GND+50mV to VDD−1.5V). |
| 15 AIN2+ | Channel 2 differential input (+) | Second independent differential input; identical electrical specs and routing rules as AIN1±. |
| 16 AIN2- | Channel 2 differential input (–) | Paired with AIN2+; shares same PGA, filter, and calibration resources as AIN1± path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-demand self-calibration | Offset and gain calibration initiated via serial command - eliminates drift-induced errors without external hardware. |
| Programmable input buffering | Buffer enabled/disabled per channel - trades input impedance (>1GΩ unbuffered) for common-mode rejection (130dB at high gain). |
| Dual internal clock options | Selectable 1MHz or 2.4576MHz oscillator - matches standard UART baud rates and simplifies timing in isolated systems. |
| Flexible reference interface | Supports 1.00V–1.75V differential reference - enables use of precision bandgap or ratiometric sensor references. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | 2µA typical power-down current - preserves system energy budget during idle intervals in portable instrumentation. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility | Standard 4-wire serial protocol with CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT - integrates seamlessly with ARM Cortex-M, PIC, and FPGA controllers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7705BRUZ | 16-bit, 2-channel sigma-delta ADC; no internal oscillator; requires external clock; 2.7V–5.25V supply; 0.003% INL (max). | Lacks integrated clock and lower INL spec; suited for designs already using external crystal or where tighter layout control over clock routing is preferred. | Select AD7705BRUZ when migrating legacy AD7705-based designs or when external clock synchronization is mandatory. |
| ADS1220IPWR | 24-bit, 2-channel delta-sigma ADC; integrated PGA (1–128), VREF, and temperature sensor; 2.5V–5.5V supply; 0.0015% INL (max); SPI interface. | Higher resolution and on-chip reference simplify design but increase power (~1.1mW vs. 1.2mW) and cost; not pin-compatible. | Choose ADS1220IPWR for next-generation upgrades requiring extended resolution or integrated diagnostics, accepting non-drop-in replacement. |
Compared with AD7705BRUZ, MAX1415AEWE+ offers integrated clocking and superior INL; versus ADS1220IPWR, it provides lower power and smaller footprint at 16-bit resolution - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-aware industrial nodes.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the MAX1415AEWE+?
The MAX1415AEWE+ operates from 2.7V to 3.6V on its VDD pin. This single-supply range supports compatibility with 3.3V logic systems and battery-powered instrumentation. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or permanent damage, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings.
Does the MAX1415AEWE+ support both buffered and unbuffered analog input modes?
Yes, the MAX1415AEWE+ supports both buffered and unbuffered analog input configurations. Buffering improves common-mode rejection (up to 130dB at gain=128) but reduces input voltage range (GND+50mV to VDD−1.5V); unbuffered mode offers wider common-mode range (GND−30mV to VDD+30mV) with lower CMR.
How does the internal oscillator of the MAX1415AEWE+ function, and can it be disabled?
The MAX1415AEWE+ includes an internal oscillator configurable for 1MHz or 2.4576MHz output via the CLK pin. It is automatically disabled when an external clock is applied to CLKIN, allowing flexible timing control. The CLKOUT pin delivers the selected internal frequency for system-wide clock distribution.
What calibration capabilities does the MAX1415AEWE+ provide?
The MAX1415AEWE+ supports on-demand offset and gain self-calibration, plus system calibration using external reference inputs. Calibration coefficients are stored in user-accessible registers, enabling field recalibration without firmware changes. Drift errors are removed by periodic recalibration at operating temperature.
Is the MAX1415AEWE+ pin-compatible with the AD7705 or MX7705?
Yes, the MAX1415AEWE+ is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible upgrade to the AD7705 and MX7705. It retains identical pinout, register map, and serial interface behavior while adding internal clocking, improved INL (±0.0015% vs. ±0.003%), and lower power consumption.
