Product details
Overview
MAX1416EPE+ 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 SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. It operates from a 4.75V to 5.25V supply, achieves ±0.0015% INL (max) with no missing codes, and delivers >98dB 50Hz/60Hz rejection-optimized for high-accuracy industrial sensor conditioning in weigh scales and strain-gauge systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1416EPE+ datasheet, MAX1416EPE+ pinout, MAX1416EPE+ application, or MAX1416EPE+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation guidance, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The MAX1416EPE+ employs a second-order sigma-delta modulator with digital filtering to achieve true 16-bit resolution and no missing codes. Its internal oscillator supports 1MHz or 2.4576MHz operation, and it features user-programmable offset/gain registers plus on-demand self-calibration for both offset and gain.
It supports buffered and unbuffered analog input modes via S1/S2 control, offers programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with 1–128 gain range, and provides >130dB common-mode rejection at high gains-enabling precise measurement of low-level signals in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage for precision metrology. |
| INL (max) | ±0.0015% FSR at gain = 1, bipolar unbuffered mode-enables sub-10ppm linearity-critical calibration. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75V to 5.25V-designed for stable 5V industrial rails; incompatible with 3V-only systems. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.2mW max at 3V (not applicable); at 5V, typical IDD = 1.1mA buffered / 2.4576MHz / gain=128-supports low-power loop-powered designs. |
| 50/60Hz Rejection | >98dB normal-mode, >150dB common-mode-eliminates mains interference without external notch filters. |
| PGA Gain Range | 1 to 128-configurable signal amplification before digitization, reducing need for external op-amps. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C-qualified for industrial temperature range, including factory-floor and outdoor instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1416EPE+ is housed in a 16-pin PDIP package (0.3-inch width), suitable for through-hole prototyping and legacy industrial PCBs. Pin spacing is 0.1 inch; lead finish is lead-free (Pb-free) per RoHS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SCLK | Serial clock input | Accepts external SPI-compatible clock up to 2.5MHz; synchronizes all serial data transfers. |
| 2 DIN | Serial data input | Loads configuration registers (gain, buffer mode, clock source) during write cycles. |
| 3 DOUT | Serial data output | Three-state output delivering conversion results and status bits; requires CS control. |
| 4 CS | Chip select | Active-low enables serial interface; must be held low during entire read/write transaction. |
| 5 DRDY | Data ready indicator | Open-drain output pulses low when conversion completes-directly interfaces with µC interrupt lines. |
| 6 RESET | Hardware reset | Asynchronous active-low reset clears internal registers and restarts calibration sequence. |
| 7 REF+ | Reference voltage positive | Accepts 1.0V to 3.5V differential reference; sets full-scale input range with PGA gain scaling. |
| 8 REF− | Reference voltage negative | Reference return path; must be tied to system ground or isolated reference plane. |
| 9 AIN1+ | Analog input channel 1 positive | Differential input terminal; supports buffered/unbuffered modes depending on S1/S2 state. |
| 10 AIN1− | Analog input channel 1 negative | Complementary terminal for CH1; common-mode voltage must stay within GND+50mV to VDD−1.5V (buffered). |
| 11 AIN2+ | Analog input channel 2 positive | Second fully differential input pair; shares same PGA and filter architecture as AIN1. |
| 12 AIN2− | Analog input channel 2 negative | Complementary terminal for CH2; identical electrical specs and routing constraints as AIN1−. |
| 13 CLKIN | External clock input | Accepts 400kHz–2.5MHz CMOS-level clock; disables internal oscillator when driven. |
| 14 CLKOUT | Internal clock output | Drives external crystal/resonator in oscillator mode; outputs 1MHz or 2.4576MHz signal. |
| 15 VDD | Positive supply | 4.75V–5.25V only; bypassing with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND is mandatory for noise immunity. |
| 16 GND | Ground | Analog/digital common reference; requires star grounding near ADC for optimal PSRR performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-demand self-calibration | Offset and gain calibration initiated by register write-enables field recalibration without external equipment. |
| Programmable gain amplifier (PGA) | 1× to 128× gain selectable in powers of two-matches sensor output range to ADC's 16-bit dynamic range. |
| Integrated input buffer | Reduces source impedance sensitivity and improves CMR >130dB at high gains-critical for high-Z sensors like RTDs. |
| 50Hz/60Hz notch filtering | Digital filter notches at 25Hz/50Hz or 20Hz/60Hz-rejects mains interference without analog filter components. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility | Standard 3-wire serial interface with CS, SCLK, DIN/DOUT-simplifies firmware integration across microcontroller platforms. |

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for the MAX1416EPE+?
The MAX1416EPE+ operates exclusively from a 4.75V to 5.25V single supply. It is not rated for 3V operation-unlike the MAX1415 variant-and must be powered from a regulated 5V rail. Supply voltage outside this range may cause functional failure or parametric degradation.
Does the MAX1416EPE+ include an internal oscillator?
Yes, the MAX1416EPE+ integrates an internal oscillator configurable for either 1MHz or 2.4576MHz operation via the CLK pin. This eliminates the need for external clock components in most applications, though an external clock (400kHz–2.5MHz) can be applied to CLKIN if preferred.
How does the MAX1416EPE+ handle 50Hz and 60Hz interference?
The MAX1416EPE+ uses a digital filter with programmable notches at 25Hz/50Hz or 20Hz/60Hz to deliver >98dB normal-mode and >150dB common-mode rejection-effectively suppressing mains-frequency noise without external analog filters or synchronous sampling techniques.
Can the MAX1416EPE+ interface directly with a microcontroller SPI port?
Yes, the MAX1416EPE+ supports standard SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols using CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT pins. It requires no level-shifting when interfaced with 5V-tolerant MCU GPIOs, and DRDY provides hardware-ready signaling for efficient polling or interrupt-driven reads.
What is the maximum achievable effective resolution of the MAX1416EPE+ in buffered mode at 60Hz output data rate?
In buffered mode with fCLKIN = 2.4576MHz and gain = 128, the MAX1416EPE+ achieves 16-bit peak-to-peak resolution at 60Hz ODR (Table 4). Its typical RMS noise is 1.19µV under these conditions-translating to ~19.2 effective bits (ENOB) when referenced to a 2.5V full-scale range.
