MAX11608EEE+T

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The MAX11608EEE+T is a low-power, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring an I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface. It operates from a single supply of 4.5V to 5.5V and includes an internal 4.096V voltage reference. The device provides 8 analog input channels with software-configurable unipolar or bipolar operation. It supports sampling rates up to 94.4ksps using an external clock, consuming 670µA at maximum throughput. Supply current reduces below 230µA for rates under 46ksps and drops to less than 1µA in AutoShutdown mode. Accuracy specifications include ±1 LSB INL and no missing codes over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed I2C communication with 1.7MHz capability
• Features AutoShutdown technology for significant power reduction between conversions
• Offers flexible analog input configuration for single-ended or differential modes

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Handheld portable instruments
• Medical instrumentation
• Battery-powered test equipment
• Solar-powered remote systems
• Received-signal-strength indicators

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity by checking the manufacturer's marking code against official documentation. Confirm the suffix indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance. Ensure the package type matches the required board layout. Validate the operating temperature range requirements against the specified industrial limits.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this part when 10-bit resolution and multi-channel acquisition are required within a 5V system. Compare channel counts with the MAX11606 (4 channels) and MAX11610 (12 channels). Consider the MAX11600 series if 8-bit resolution and lower cost are acceptable. Verify that the I2C address 0110011 does not conflict with other bus devices.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX11606–MAX11611 family of low-power ADCs. It shares pinout compatibility with the MAX11609 (8-channel, 3V version) and the MAX11610/MAX11611 (12-channel versions). The family allows designers to scale channel count and resolution without redesigning the PCB layout.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The MAX11609EEE+ serves as a direct pin-compatible replacement for 3V operation. For higher channel counts, the MAX11610EEE+ provides 12 channels. For lower resolution needs, the MAX11602EEE+ offers 8-bit performance.
