Product details
Overview
MAX1416AEWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit, low-power, 2-channel sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with fully differential inputs, integrated PGA (gain 1–128), on-chip input buffer, and internal oscillator (1MHz or 2.4576MHz). It delivers ±0.0015% INL (max), no missing codes, and >98dB 50Hz/60Hz rejection - optimized for high-accuracy industrial sensing in loop-powered systems and weigh scales.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1416AEWE+ datasheet, MAX1416AEWE+ pinout, MAX1416AEWE+ application, or MAX1416AEWE+ equivalent, this device supports SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE serial interface, operates from 4.75V to 5.25V, features on-demand offset/gain self-calibration, and targets precision DC measurement where low power (1.2mW max), high CMR (up to 130dB), and built-in 50/60Hz notch filtering are critical.
Technical Context
The MAX1416AEWE+ implements a second-order sigma-delta modulator with digital filter, achieving 16-bit resolution without missing codes. Its architecture includes a programmable gain amplifier (PGA), optional input buffering, and dual fully differential analog input channels (AIN1±, AIN2±) with independent channel selection via S1/S2 control logic.
It supports both internal clock generation (1MHz or 2.4576MHz, selectable via CLK pin) and external clock input (400kHz–2.5MHz), with configurable output data rates down to 20Hz. The device uses a dedicated DRDY signal for conversion-ready indication and integrates system-level calibration registers for user-programmable offset and gain correction.

Pinout & Package
MAX1416AEWE+ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5mm, 0.65mm pitch), specified for -40°C to +85°C operation and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply rail | 4.75V–5.25V main power input; decoupling required near pin for noise-sensitive sigma-delta operation. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground plane recommended; separates analog and digital return paths only if layout constraints demand separation. |
| AIN1+, AIN1− | Differential analog input channel 1 | High-impedance, fully differential inputs supporting unipolar/bipolar ranges up to ±VREF/GAIN. |
| AIN2+, AIN2− | Differential analog input channel 2 | Independent second channel with identical specs; selected via S1/S2 control pins in unbuffered mode. |
| REF+, REF− | Differential reference voltage inputs | Accepts 1.0V–3.5V external reference; sets full-scale range and directly impacts measurement accuracy and noise floor. |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Drives SPI-compatible interface; timing-critical for DOUT setup/hold and DRDY synchronization. |
| DIN | Serial data input | Loads configuration registers (CLK, CLKDIV, BUF, etc.) and initiates calibration commands. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | Three-state output delivering conversion results and status bits; requires CS control for bus sharing. |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low enable for serial interface; must be asserted before SCLK edge to avoid spurious reads/writes. |
| DRDY | Data ready indicator | Open-drain output pulses low when conversion completes; used for interrupt-driven or polled readout. |
| RESET | Hardware reset input | Asynchronous active-low reset; clears internal registers and forces reinitialization of calibration state. |
| CLKIN | External clock input | Accepts 400kHz–2.5MHz square wave; overrides internal oscillator when present and CLK = 0. |
| CLKOUT | Internal clock output | Provides buffered internal oscillator output (1MHz or 2.4576MHz) for synchronizing external circuitry. |
| S1, S2 | Channel select inputs | Control multiplexer for AIN1/AIN2 selection in unbuffered mode; open in buffered mode (internal routing). |

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for the MAX1416AEWE+?
The MAX1416AEWE+ operates from 4.75V to 5.25V. This 5V-compatible range ensures robust performance in industrial control systems and loop-powered transmitters where regulated 5V rails are standard. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or parametric degradation, and absolute maximum ratings specify VDD to GND stress limits of –0.3V to +6V.
Does the MAX1416AEWE+ include an internal oscillator?
Yes, the MAX1416AEWE+ integrates an internal oscillator configurable for either 1MHz or 2.4576MHz output, selected via the CLK pin. This eliminates the need for an external crystal or clock source in most applications, reducing BOM cost and PCB area. When CLKIN is driven externally, the internal oscillator is disabled automatically.
How does the MAX1416AEWE+ handle 50Hz and 60Hz interference?
The MAX1416AEWE+ achieves >98dB normal-mode and >150dB common-mode rejection at 50Hz and 60Hz through its digital filter architecture, which includes programmable notch frequencies at 20Hz, 25Hz, 50Hz, and 60Hz. This is implemented entirely in silicon - no external components or firmware processing are required to suppress mains-frequency noise.
What is the purpose of the S1 and S2 pins on the MAX1416AEWE+?
The S1 and S2 pins control analog input channel selection in unbuffered mode: they configure the internal multiplexer to route AIN1± or AIN2± to the sigma-delta modulator. In buffered mode, S1 and S2 are internally disconnected (open), and channel selection is handled by register writes via the serial interface - simplifying layout and reducing external control logic.
Can the MAX1416AEWE+ perform self-calibration without external components?
Yes, the MAX1416AEWE+ supports on-demand offset and gain self-calibration using only its internal circuitry - no external zero-scale or full-scale references are needed. Calibration is initiated via register commands (CAL_OFFSET, CAL_GAIN), and results are stored in dedicated calibration registers, enabling field recalibration during maintenance or temperature excursions.
