Product details
Overview
MAXADCLITE# from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 12-bit, 2-channel I²C-compatible analog-to-digital converter with integrated track/hold, internal voltage reference (4.096V), and single-supply operation from 4.5V to 5.5V. It delivers 94.4ksps throughput, ±1 LSB INL/DNL accuracy, and consumes only 670µA at full rate-enabling high-precision sensing in battery-constrained industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAXADCLITE# datasheet, MAXADCLITE# pinout, MAXADCLITE# application, or MAXADCLITE# equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, validated µMAX® 8-pin package mapping, confirmed I²C slave address (0x6C), and real-world design implications for unipolar/differential input configuration, internal reference stability, and AutoShutdown™ power management.
Technical Context
The MAXADCLITE# employs successive-approximation architecture with fully differential track-and-hold circuitry, supporting software-configurable single-ended (2-channel) or differential (1-channel) acquisition. Its internal 2.8MHz oscillator drives conversion timing, and the I²C interface operates in Fast Mode (400kHz) or High-Speed Mode (1.7MHz) with programmable bus timing mode selection.
Input range is determined by either the internal 4.096V reference or an external reference from 1V to VDD; bipolar operation is supported only in differential mode via BIP/UNI bit control. Channel-scan mode with internal FIFO enables autonomous multi-channel sequencing without host intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 1 LSB = 1mV step size with 4.096V reference for sub-millivolt measurement precision |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.025% full-scale linearity error across -40°C to +85°C |
| Throughput Rate | 94.4 ksps (external clock) - supports real-time sampling of signals up to 3 MHz bandwidth (SINAD > 68dB) |
| Supply Current | 670 µA @ 94.4 ksps, 6 µA @ 1 ksps - AutoShutdown™ reduces idle current to <1 µA, extending battery life in portable systems |
| I²C Interface | 400 kHz Fast Mode / 1.7 MHz High-Speed Mode - compatible with standard microcontroller peripherals without custom timing logic |
| Reference Voltage | Internal 4.096V ±2% - eliminates external reference component cost and PCB area; stable to 25 ppm/°C |
| Analog Input Range | 0 to VREF (unipolar, single-ended) or ±VREF/2 (bipolar, differential) - enables flexible sensor interfacing including bridge transducers and current shunts |
Pinout & Package
MAXADCLITE# is packaged in an 8-pin µMAX® (3mm × 3mm) surface-mount package with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin functions are electrically validated per Maxim's official pinout diagram and ordering information.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | AIN0, AIN1 | Analog input channels - support single-ended or differential configurations; input leakage <±1 µA ensures minimal loading on high-impedance sensors |
| 3 | N.C. | No connection - not internally bonded; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 4 | REF | Reference I/O - outputs internal 4.096V reference when enabled; accepts external 1V–VDD reference with 40 µA max input current |
| 5 | SCL | I²C clock input - supports 400kHz/1.7MHz modes; internal spike suppression enables robust operation in noisy environments |
| 6 | SDA | I²C bidirectional data line - open-drain output with 0.4V VOL @ 3mA sink; requires external pull-up resistor (≥750Ω) |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground - shared reference for all analog and digital circuits; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane |
| 8 | VDD | Positive supply - operates from 4.5V to 5.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low power at variable throughput | 6 µA @ 1 ksps and 670 µA @ 94.4 ksps - enables adaptive sampling strategies in energy-harvesting or solar-powered nodes |

| Integrated reference and clock | 4.096V internal reference + 2.8MHz oscillator - removes two external components and associated layout complexity and calibration drift |
| Channel-scan FIFO | Automated sequential conversion of both AIN0/AIN1 - reduces host CPU overhead and enables deterministic timing in real-time control loops |
| Robust I²C timing compliance | Fast Mode (400kHz) and High-Speed Mode (1.7MHz) with built-in spike suppression - ensures interoperability with diverse microcontrollers without firmware workarounds |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit I²C ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822IDR | 12-bit, SPI interface only; no internal reference; 2.7–5.25V supply; 1.25 µs conversion time | Requires external reference and SPI-capable host; higher speed but less integration | Select when SPI is preferred and board space allows external reference; not drop-in for I²C-based designs |
| MCP3221A0T-E/OT | 12-bit, I²C interface; internal 2.048V reference; 2.7–5.5V supply; 100 ksps max; no differential mode | Single-ended only; lower reference voltage limits dynamic range for 5V systems | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-channel unipolar applications where 4.096V full-scale is unnecessary |
Compared with ADS7822IDR and MCP3221A0T-E/OT, MAXADCLITE# uniquely combines I²C compatibility, internal 4.096V reference, differential input support, and channel-scan FIFO-making it optimal for compact, dual-sensor industrial telemetry where bus simplicity and measurement flexibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the I²C slave address for MAXADCLITE#?
The MAXADCLITE# has a factory-programmed 7-bit I²C slave address of 0x6C (binary 0110110). The eighth bit is the R/W flag: write = 0x6C, read = 0x6D. This address is fixed and non-configurable, matching the MAX11644EUA+ variant referenced in Maxim's official documentation.
Does MAXADCLITE# support differential input mode?
Yes, MAXADCLITE# supports fully differential input mode via software configuration of the SGL/DIF bit in the setup byte. In differential mode, it measures the voltage difference between AIN0 (+) and AIN1 (−), with full-scale range configurable as 0 to VREF (unipolar) or ±VREF/2 (bipolar).
What is the maximum sample rate achievable with MAXADCLITE#?
MAXADCLITE# achieves a maximum throughput rate of 94.4 ksps when operating in High-Speed I²C Mode (1.7 MHz clock) with external clocking. In Fast Mode (400 kHz), the maximum rate is 22.2 ksps. Conversion time is 10.6 µs with external clock and 51 µs in SCAN[1:0] = 01 mode.
Can MAXADCLITE# operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, MAXADCLITE# accepts an external reference voltage from 1V to VDD applied to the REF pin. When using external reference, the internal reference is disabled. Performance remains specified over temperature, and REF input current is limited to 40 µA at 94.4 ksps sampling rate.
What package type is used for MAXADCLITE#?
MAXADCLITE# is supplied in the 8-pin µMAX® package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), a RoHS-compliant, surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad. This package is identical to the MAX11644EUA+ variant and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
