Product details
Overview
MX7705EWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit, low-power, 2-channel sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter with on-chip PGA (gain 1–128), internal input buffer, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial interface. It delivers ±0.003% FSR INL, 650nV RMS noise (typ), and 150dB common-mode 50/60Hz rejection - ideal for precision weigh scales and strain-gauge measurements in loop-powered industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the MX7705EWE+ datasheet, MX7705EWE+ pinout, MX7705EWE+ application, or MX7705EWE+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual fully differential input channels, software- and pin-compatibility with AD7705, programmable digital filter notch (20–500Hz), single-supply operation (2.7V–5.25V), and 2µA typ power-down current.
Technical Context
The MX7705EWE+ employs a second-order sigma-delta modulator paired with a programmable digital filter that sets output data rate and first-notch frequency (20Hz–500Hz) to suppress 50/60Hz interference. Its internal PGA and analog input buffer enable direct interfacing with high-impedance transducers like load cells and RTDs without external signal conditioning.
Calibration is supported via self-calibration and system calibration modes, correcting gain and offset errors across temperature and supply voltage. The device operates in buffered or unbuffered mode, with input common-mode rejection up to 130dB and normal-mode 50/60Hz rejection at 98dB - all configurable via register writes over its 3-wire serial interface.
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 | ±0.003% FSR - enables accurate DC measurement of low-frequency signals such as pressure or temperature transducer outputs. |
| RMS Noise | 650nV (typ, VDD=3V, gain=128, ODR=60Hz) - supports >15-bit effective resolution in low-noise industrial sensing applications. |
| Power Consumption | 320µA typ at 3V (active), 2µA typ in power-down - suitable for battery-operated or energy-constrained loop-powered devices. |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.25V single supply - allows direct integration into 3.3V or 5V industrial control and instrumentation rails. |
| Digital Interface | SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire serial (SCLK, DIN, DOUT, CS) - simplifies microcontroller connectivity with minimal GPIO usage. |
| 50/60Hz Rejection | 150dB common-mode, 98dB normal-mode - eliminates mains-frequency interference without external notch filters in weigh scale or metering designs. |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SCLK | Serial clock input | Drives synchronous data transfer up to 5MHz; timing-critical for register read/write and conversion result retrieval. |

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 | Identical pinout, register map, and functional spec; same 16-bit sigma-delta architecture but higher typical supply current (400µA vs. 320µA at 3V). | Legacy design continuity where AD7705 footprint and firmware are already validated; less optimal for ultra-low-power deployments. | Select AD7705BRUZ only when existing layout/firmware must be reused without modification - MX7705EWE+ offers better power efficiency and identical interface behavior. |
| ADS1220IPWR | 24-bit resolution, integrated PGA (1–128), but requires external crystal; no built-in 50/60Hz notch filter - relies on digital post-processing. | Better resolution for high-end lab equipment; lacks hardware-level mains rejection - demands additional MCU resources for filtering. | Choose ADS1220IPWR when >16-bit ENOB is mandatory and system firmware can implement FIR filtering; MX7705EWE+ provides superior out-of-box 50/60Hz immunity with simpler host requirements. |
Compared with AD7705BRUZ, MX7705EWE+ reduces active current by 20% while maintaining full compatibility; versus ADS1220IPWR, it trades raw resolution for deterministic hardware-based 150dB 50/60Hz rejection and lower system-level design complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the MX7705EWE+ serial interface?
The MX7705EWE+ supports an SCLK frequency up to 5MHz, enabling fast register access and conversion result reads. This allows full 16-bit word transfers in under 4µs, supporting high-throughput sampling in systems with tight timing constraints - essential for real-time control loops using the MX7705EWE+.
Does the MX7705EWE+ include an internal voltage reference?
No, the MX7705EWE+ does not include an internal voltage reference. It requires an external differential reference applied to REF+ and REF− pins, with a valid range of 1.0V to 3.5V (depending on VDD). This design enables ratiometric measurements with sensor excitation circuits and supports user-selected reference stability and accuracy - a key feature of the MX7705EWE+ architecture.
How does the MX7705EWE+ achieve 150dB 50Hz/60Hz common-mode rejection?
The MX7705EWE+ achieves 150dB common-mode rejection through its programmable digital filter, which places the first notch precisely at 25Hz (for 50Hz rejection) or 20Hz (for 60Hz rejection). This hardware-based filtering occurs after the sigma-delta modulator and is independent of analog front-end matching - a core capability of the MX7705EWE+ that eliminates need for external analog notch filters.
Can the MX7705EWE+ operate from a 3.3V supply while maintaining full 16-bit performance?
Yes, the MX7705EWE+ operates across 2.7V–5.25V and maintains full 16-bit no-missing-codes performance at 3.3V. Electrical characteristics including ±0.003% FSR INL, 650nV RMS noise (typ), and 150dB 50/60Hz rejection are all specified and guaranteed at VDD = 3V - making the MX7705EWE+ fully suitable for modern 3.3V industrial microcontroller platforms.
Is the MX7705EWE+ pin-compatible with the AD7705 across all package variants?
Yes, the MX7705EWE+ is pin-compatible with the AD7705 in the 16-pin SO package (same pad layout, footprint, and pin functions). This includes identical assignments for SCLK, CS, DOUT, DIN, AIN1±, AIN2±, REF±, DRDY, RESET, CLKIN/CLKOUT, VDD, and GND - enabling direct substitution in AD7705-based designs without layout changes, a defining feature of the MX7705EWE+.
