Product details
Overview
MAX1415AEWE+T 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 high-precision industrial sensor interfaces such as strain-gauge and RTD measurements in loop-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1415AEWE+T datasheet, MAX1415AEWE+T pinout, MAX1415AEWE+T application, or MAX1415AEWE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7V–3.6V single-supply operation, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, buffered/unbuffered analog input modes, and self-calibration capability for offset and gain - all in a 16-pin TSSOP package.
Technical Context
The MAX1415AEWE+T employs a second-order sigma-delta modulator with digital filtering to achieve true 16-bit resolution without missing codes. Its architecture integrates a programmable gain amplifier (PGA), optional input buffers, and dual fully-differential analog input channels (AIN1±, AIN2±) supporting both unipolar and bipolar configurations.
It features an internal clock generator (selectable 1MHz or 2.4576MHz), supports external clocking via CLKIN/CLKOUT, and provides on-demand system calibration using user-programmable offset/gain registers. The device operates with a 2.7V–3.6V supply and achieves 1.2mW max power dissipation at 3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage for precision measurement systems. |
| INL (max) | ±0.0015% FSR - enables sub-1 LSB error across full scale, critical for weigh scales and pressure transducers. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 3.6V - compatible with battery- and loop-powered industrial sensors requiring low-voltage operation. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.2mW (max) at 3V - reduces thermal drift and extends battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| 50/60Hz Rejection | >98dB - suppresses mains interference without external notch filters, simplifying PCB layout in noisy environments. |
| PGA Gain Range | 1 to 128 - allows direct interfacing with mV-level outputs from strain gauges and thermocouples without external amplification. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including flow meters and process control. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1415AEWE+T is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5.0mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official datasheet revision 3 (19-3163).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Drives synchronous data transfer; accepts up to 2.5MHz clock for SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE timing compliance. |
| DIN | Serial data input | Accepts configuration commands (e.g., gain, buffer enable, calibration triggers) during CS low. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | Tri-state output delivering conversion results and status bits; requires CS control for bus sharing. |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low enables serial interface; must be held low for entire frame to avoid data corruption. |
| DRDY | Data ready indicator | Open-drain output signals valid conversion result; used for interrupt-driven firmware polling. |
| RESET | Hardware reset | Asynchronous active-low input that clears internal registers and restarts oscillator startup sequence. |
| CLKIN / CLKOUT | Crystal oscillator terminals | Supports external crystal (e.g., 2.4576MHz) or ceramic resonator; internal oscillator enabled when CLKIN left floating. |
| AIN1+, AIN1− AIN2+, AIN2− | Differential analog inputs | Two independent fully-differential channels; S1/S2 switches configure buffered/unbuffered mode per channel. |
| REF+, REF− | Reference voltage inputs | Accept 1.00V–1.75V differential reference; determines full-scale range and noise floor scaling. |
| VDD, GND | Power supply | Single 2.7V–3.6V supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) required at VDD pin for stable sigma-delta operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-demand self-calibration | Offset and gain calibration executed in-system via command register - eliminates factory trim dependency and compensates for temperature drift. |
| Programmable input buffering | Buffered mode increases common-mode rejection (up to 130dB at gain ≥8) and relaxes source impedance requirements (<1kΩ). |
| Internal oscillator options | Selectable 1MHz or 2.4576MHz clock - avoids external crystal cost while enabling precise 50/60Hz rejection via digital filter notching. |
| Low power-down current | 2μA (typ) at 3V - enables microamp-level sleep states in battery-operated handheld test equipment. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility | Standard 3-wire serial interface with CS, SCLK, DIN/DOUT - interoperable with most microcontrollers without protocol translation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7705BRUZ | 16-bit, 2-channel sigma-delta ADC; 2.7V–5.25V supply; no internal oscillator; requires external clock or crystal. | Lacks integrated oscillator and PGA auto-ranging; lower common-mode rejection (90dB) and higher power (1mW @ 3V). | Choose AD7705BRUZ only if external clock infrastructure already exists and PGA flexibility is not required. |
| ADS1220IPWR | 24-bit, 2-channel delta-sigma ADC; integrated PGA (1–128), VREF, and burn-out current sources; SPI interface. | Higher resolution but larger 20-pin TSSOP package; 2.7V–5.5V supply; lacks built-in 50/60Hz notch filter configuration. | ADS1220IPWR suits applications needing >16-bit resolution and integrated diagnostics, but requires additional firmware for 50/60Hz rejection. |
Compared with AD7705BRUZ and ADS1220IPWR, the MAX1415AEWE+T uniquely combines 16-bit no-missing-codes accuracy, integrated 1MHz/2.4576MHz oscillator, >98dB 50/60Hz rejection, and 2μA power-down current - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and mains-noise-prone industrial sensor nodes.

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for the MAX1415AEWE+T?
The MAX1415AEWE+T operates from 2.7V to 3.6V. This single-supply range is specified for the MAX1415 variant and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX1415AEWE+T under "Power-Supply Voltage". Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or damage.
Does the MAX1415AEWE+T support both buffered and unbuffered analog input modes?
Yes, the MAX1415AEWE+T supports both modes via internal switch control (S1/S2). Buffered mode improves common-mode rejection (up to 130dB) and allows high-impedance sensor interfaces; unbuffered mode reduces power and noise for low-impedance sources. Configuration is controlled by register bits per the datasheet Functional Description.
What is the maximum achievable 50Hz/60Hz rejection with the MAX1415AEWE+T?
The MAX1415AEWE+T achieves >98dB normal-mode and >150dB common-mode rejection at 50Hz and 60Hz when configured with appropriate filter notches (e.g., 25Hz/50Hz or 20Hz/60Hz). This performance is guaranteed in both buffered and unbuffered modes and does not require external components.
Can the MAX1415AEWE+T perform on-demand calibration without external hardware?
Yes, the MAX1415AEWE+T supports on-demand offset and gain self-calibration using internal references - triggered via command register writes. System calibration (using external reference) is also supported. No external DACs, op-amps, or precision voltage sources are needed for basic calibration sequences.
Is the MAX1415AEWE+T pin-compatible with the AD7705 or MX7705?
Yes, the MAX1415AEWE+T is explicitly documented as a pin-compatible upgrade to the MX7705 and AD7705. All pin functions, package dimensions (16-pin TSSOP), and register map layouts match - enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs with no PCB changes required.
