MAX11636EEE+

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The MAX11636EEE+ is a serial 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring an internal reference and true differential track/hold. It provides eight single-ended or four differential input channels with a maximum sampling rate of 300ksps using an external clock. The device operates from a +5V supply (4.75V to 5.25V) and includes a 16-entry FIFO, scan mode, internal averaging, and AutoShutdown. It utilizes a 10MHz SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible interface and is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package, specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging type. The base part number indicates standard tube packaging, while suffixes may denote tape and reel options. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free designation through manufacturer datasheets prior to procurement.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 12-bit resolution at high speeds with multiple analog inputs. Ensure the system voltage aligns with the 4.75V to 5.25V requirement. Verify that the host microcontroller supports the required 3-wire serial interface timing and polarity settings for proper communication.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX11634–MAX11637 family of 12-bit ADCs. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX11628 but differs in input configuration and reference integration. The MAX11636 specifically targets 5V systems with eight channels, distinguishing it from the 4-channel MAX11634 and the 3V variants within the same series.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The MAX11634 serves as a compatible alternative for designs requiring only four input channels. For lower voltage applications, the MAX11637 offers identical functionality within a 2.7V to 3.6V supply range. Cross-referencing pinouts and register maps is recommended when substituting these family members.
