General Description
The MAX11102/MAX11103/MAX11105/MAX11106/
MAX11110/MAX11111/MAX11115/MAX11116/
MAX11117 are 12-/10-/8-bit, compact, high-speed, low-
power, successive approximation analog-to-digital con-
verters (ADCs). These high-performance ADCs include a
high-dynamic range sample-and-hold and a high-speed
serial interface. These ADCs accept a full-scale input
from 0V to the power supply or to the reference voltage.
The MAX11102/MAX11103/MAX11106/MAX11111 fea-
ture dual, single-ended analog inputs connected to the
ADC core using a 2:1 MUX. The devices also include a
separate supply input for data interface and a dedicated
input for reference voltage. In contrast, the single-chan-
nel devices generate the reference voltage internally
from the power supply.
These ADCs operate from a 2.2V to 3.6V supply and
consume only 5.2mW at 3Msps and 3.7mW at 2Msps.
The devices include full power-down mode and fast
wake-up for optimal power management and a high-
speed 3-wire serial interface. The 3-wire serial interface
directly connects to SPI, QSPIK, and MICROWIRE®
devices without external logic.
Excellent dynamic performance, low voltage, low power,
ease of use, and small package size make these con-
verters ideal for portable battery-powered data-acquisi-
tion applications, and for other applications that demand
low-power consumption and minimal space.
These ADCs are available in a 10-pin TDFN package,
10-pin FMAX® package, and a 6-pin SOT23 package.
These devices operate over the -40NC to +125NC tem-
perature range.

1 1 AIN1 Analog Input Channel 1. Single-ended analog input with respect to AGND with range
of 0V to VREF.
2 2 AIN2 Analog Input Channel 2. Single-ended analog input with respect to AGND with range
of 0V to VREF.
3 AIN Analog Input Channel. Single-ended analog input with respect to GND with range of
0V to VDD.
2 GND Ground. Connect GND to the GND ground plane.
3 3 AGND Analog Ground. Connect AGND directly the GND ground plane.
4 4 REF
External Reference Input. REF defines the signal range of the input signal AIN1/AIN2:
0V to VREF. The range of VREF is 1V to VDD. Bypass REF to AGND with 10FF || 0.1FF
capacitor.
5 5 1 VDD
Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass VDD with a 10FF || 0.1FF capacitor to GND. VDD
range is 2.2V to 3.6V. For the SOT23 package, VDD also defines the signal range of
the input signal AIN: 0V to VDD.
6 6 6 CS Active-Low Chip-Select Input. The falling edge of CS samples the analog input signal,
starts a conversion, and frames the serial data transfer.
7 7 CHSEL Channel Select. Set CHSEL high to select AIN2 for conversion. Set CHSEL low to
select AIN1 for conversion.
8 8 OVDD Digital Interface Supply for SCLK, CS, DOUT, and CHSEL. The OVDD range is 1.5V
to VDD. Bypass OVDD with a 10FF || 0.1FF capacitor to GND.
9 9 5 DOUT Three-State Serial Data Output. ADC conversion results are clocked out on the falling
edge of SCLK, MSB first. See Figure 1.
10 10 4 SCLK Serial Clock Input. SCLK drives the conversion process. DOUT is updated on the fall-
ing edge of SCLK. See Figures 2 and 3.
EP GND Exposed Pad (TDFN and FMAX only). Connect EP directly to a solid ground plane.
Devices do not operate unless EP is connected to ground!

Detailed Description
The MAX11102/MAX11103/MAX11105/MAX11106/MAX11110/
MAX11111/MAX11115/MAX11116/MAX11117 are fast,
12-/10-/8-bit, low-power, single-supply ADCs. The
devices operate from a 2.2V to 3.6V supply and con-
sume only 8.3mW (VDD = 3V)/5.2mW (VDD = 2.2V) at
3Msps and 6.2mW (VDD = 3V)/3.7mW (VDD = 2.2V) at
2Msps. The 3Msps devices are capable of sampling
at full rate when driven by a 48MHz clock and the
2Msps devices can sample at full rate when driven by
a 32MHz clock. The dual-channel devices provide a
separate digital supply input (OVDD) to power the digi-
tal interface enabling communication with 1.5V, 1.8V,
2.5V, or 3V digital systems.
The conversion result appears at DOUT, MSB first, with a
leading zero followed by the 12-bit, 10-bit, or 8-bit result.
A 12-bit result is followed by two trailing zeros, a 10-bit
result is followed by four trailing zeros, and an 8-bit result
is followed by six trailing zeros. See Figures 1 and 5.
The dual-channel devices feature a dedicated refer-
ence input (REF). The input signal range for AIN1/AIN2
is defined as 0V to VREF with respect to AGND. The
single-channel devices use VDD as the reference. The
input signal range of AIN is defined as 0V to VDD with
respect to GND.
These ADCs include a power-down feature allowing
minimized power consumption at 2.5FA/ksps for lower
throughput rates. The wake-up and power-down feature
is controlled by using the SPI interface as described in
the Operating Modes section.
Serial Interface
The devices feature a 3-wire serial interface that directly
connects to SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE devices without
external logic. Figures 1 and 5 show the interface sig-
nals for a single conversion frame to achieve maximum
throughput.
The falling edge of CS defines the sampling instant.
Once CS transitions low, the external clock signal
(SCLK) controls the conversion.
The SAR core successively extracts binary-weighted bits
in every clock cycle. The MSB appears on the data bus
during the 2nd clock cycle with a delay outlined in the
timing specifications. All extracted data bits appear suc-
cessively on the data bus with the LSB appearing during
the 13th/11th/9th clock cycle for 12-/10-/8-bit operation.
The serial data stream of conversion bits is preceded by
a leading “zero” and succeeded by trailing “zeros.” The
data output (DOUT) goes into high-impedance state dur-
ing the 16th clock cycle.

To sustain the maximum sample rate, all devices have to
be resampled immediately after the 16th clock cycle. For
lower sample rates, the CS falling edge can be delayed
leaving DOUT in a high-impedance condition. Pull CS
high after the 10th SCLK falling edge (see the Operating
Modes section).
Analog Input
The devices produce a digital output that corresponds to
the analog input voltage within the specified operating
range of 0 to VREF for the dual-channel devices and 0 to
VDD for the single-channel devices.
Figure 6 shows an equivalent circuit for the analog input
AIN (for single-channel devices) and AIN1/AIN2 (for
dual-channel devices). Internal protection diodes D1/D2
confine the analog input voltage within the power rails
(VDD, GND). The analog input voltage can swing from
GND - 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V without damaging the device.
The electric load presented to the external stage driv-
ing the analog input varies depending on which mode
the ADC is in: track mode vs. conversion mode. In track
mode, the internal sampling capacitor CS (16pF) has to
be charged through the resistor R (R = 50I) to the input
voltage. For faithful sampling of the input, the capacitor
voltage on CS has to settle to the required accuracy dur-
ing the track time.
The source impedance of the external driving stage in
conjunction with the sampling switch resistance affects
the settling performance. The THD vs. Input Resistance
graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics shows
THD sensitivity as a function of the signal source imped-
ance. Keep the source impedance at a minimum for
high-dynamic performance applications. Use a high-
performance op amp such as the MAX4430 to drive the
analog input, thereby decoupling the signal source and
the ADC.
While the ADC is in conversion mode, the sampling
switch is open presenting a pin capacitance, CP (CP
= 5pF), to the driving stage. See the Applications
Information section for information on choosing an
appropriate buffer for the ADC.
ADC Transfer Function
The output format is straight binary. The code transi-
tions midway between successive integer LSB values
such as 0.5 LSB, 1.5 LSB, etc. The LSB size for single-
channel devices is VDD/2n and for dual-channel devices
is VREF/2n, where n is the resolution. The ideal transfer
characteristic is shown in Figure 10.
Operating Modes
The ICs offer two modes of operation: normal mode and
power-down mode. The logic state of the CS signal
during a conversion activates these modes. The power-
down mode can be used to optimize power dissipation
with respect to sample rate.
Normal Mode
In normal mode, the devices are powered up at all times,
thereby achieving their maximum throughput rates.
Figure 7 shows the timing diagram of these devices in
normal mode. The falling edge of CS samples the analog
input signal, starts a conversion, and frames the serial
data transfer.

To remain in normal mode, keep CS low until the falling
edge of the 10th SCLK cycle. Pulling CS high after the
10th SCLK falling edge keeps the part in normal mode.
However, pulling CS high before the 10th SCLK falling
edge terminates the conversion, DOUT goes into high-
impedance mode, and the device enters power-down
mode. See Figure 8.
Power-Down Mode
In power-down mode, all bias circuitry is shut down
drawing typically only 1.3FA of leakage current. To save
power, put the device in power-down mode between
conversions. Using the power-down mode between
conversions is ideal for saving power when sampling the
analog input infrequently.
Entering Power-Down Mode
To enter power-down mode, drive CS high between the
2nd and 10th falling edges of SCLK (see Figure 8). By
pulling CS high, the current conversion terminates and
DOUT enters high impedance.
Exiting Power-Down Mode
To exit power-down mode, implement one dummy con-
version by driving CS low for at least 10 clock cycles
(see Figure 9). The data on DOUT is invalid during this
dummy conversion. The first conversion following the
dummy cycle contains a valid conversion result.
The power-up time equals the duration of the dummy
cycle, and is dependent on the clock frequency. The
power-up time for 3Msps operation (48MHz SCLK) is
333ns. The power-up time for 2Msps operation (32MHz
SCLK) is 500ns.

Supply Current vs. Sampling Rate
For applications requiring lower throughput rates, the
user can reduce the clock frequency (fSCLK) to lower the
sample rate. Figure 11 shows the typical supply current
(IVDD) as a function of sample rate (fS) for the 3Msps
devices. The part operates in normal mode and is never
powered down. Figure 13 pertains to the 2Msps devices.
The user can also power down the ADC between con-
versions by using the power-down mode. Figure 12
shows for the 3Msps device that as the sample rate is
reduced, the device remains in the power-down state
longer and the average supply current (IVDD) drops
accordingly. Figure 14 pertains to the 2Msps devices.

Dual-Channel Operation
The MAX11102/MAX11103/MAX11106/MAX11111 fea-
ture dual-input channels. These devices use a channel-
select (CHSEL) input to select between analog input AIN1
(CHSEL = 0) or AIN2 (CHSEL = 1). As shown in Figure
15, the CHSEL signal is required to change between the
2nd and 12th clock cycle within a regular conversion to
guarantee proper switching between channels.
14-Cycle Conversion Mode
The ICs can operate with 14 cycles per conversion.
Figure 16 shows the corresponding timing diagram.
Observe that DOUT does not go into high-impedance
mode. Also, observe that tACQ needs to be sufficiently
long to guarantee proper settling of the analog input
voltage. See the Electrical Characteristics table for tACQ
requirements and the Analog Input section for a descrip-
tion of the analog inputs.
Applications Information
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use PCBs with a solid ground
plane. Ensure that digital and analog signal lines are
separated from each other. Do not run analog and digital
(especially clock) lines parallel to one another or digital
lines underneath the ADC package. Noise in the VDD
power supply, OVDD, and REF affects the ADC’s perfor-
mance. Bypass the VDD, OVDD, and REF to ground with
0.1FF and 10FF bypass capacitors. Minimize capacitor
lead and trace lengths for best supply-noise rejection.
Choosing an Input Amplifier
It is important to match the settling time of the input
amplifier to the acquisition time of the ADC. The conver-
sion results are accurate when the ADC samples the
input signal for an interval longer than the input signal’s
worst-case settling time. By definition, settling time is
the interval between the application of an input voltage
step and the point at which the output signal reaches

and stays within a given error band centered on the
resulting steady-state amplifier output level. The ADC
input sampling capacitor charges during the sampling
cycle, referred to as the acquisition period. During this
acquisition period, the settling time is affected by the
input resistance and the input sampling capacitance.
This error can be estimated by looking at the settling of
an RC time constant using the input capacitance and
the source impedance over the acquisition time period.
Figure 17 shows a typical application circuit. The
MAX4430, offering a settling time of 37ns at 16 bits, is
an excellent choice for this application. See the THD
vs. Input Resistance graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics.
Choosing a Reference
For devices using an external reference, the choice of
the reference determines the output accuracy of the
ADC. An ideal voltage reference provides a perfect initial
accuracy and maintains the reference voltage indepen-
dent of changes in load current, temperature, and time.
Considerations in selecting a reference include initial
voltage accuracy, temperature drift, current source,
sink capability, quiescent current, and noise. Figure 17
shows a typical application circuit using the MAX6126
to provide the reference voltage. The MAX6033 and
MAX6043 are also excellent choices.

Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity
Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values
on an actual transfer function from a straight line. For
these devices, the straight line is a line drawn between
the end points of the transfer function after offset and
gain errors are nulled.
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between
an actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A DNL
error specification of ±1 LSB or less guarantees no mis-
sing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Offset Error
The deviation of the first code transition (00 . . . 000) to
(00 . . . 001) from the ideal, that is, AGND + 0.5 LSB.
Gain Error
The deviation of the last code transition (111 . . . 110) to
(111 . . . 111) from the ideal after adjusting for the offset
error, that is, VREF - 1.5 LSB.
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in
the time between the samples.
Aperture Delay
Aperture delay (tAD) is the time between the falling edge
of sampling clock and the instant when an actual sample
is taken.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
SNR is a dynamic figure of merit that indicates the con-
verter’s noise performance. For a waveform perfectly
reconstructed from digital samples, the theoretical maxi-
mum SNR is the ratio of the full-scale analog input (RMS
value) to the RMS quantization error (residual error).
The ideal, theoretical minimum analog-to-digital noise
is caused by quantization error only and results directly
from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):
SNR (dB) (MAX) = (6.02 x N + 1.76) (dB)
In reality, there are other noise sources such as thermal
noise, reference noise, and clock jitter that also degrade
SNR. SNR is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS
signal to the RMS noise. RMS noise includes all spectral
components to the Nyquist frequency excluding the
fundamental, the first five harmonics, and the DC offset.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio and Distortion
(SINAD)
SINAD is a dynamic figure of merit that indicates the
converter’s noise and distortion performance. SINAD
is computed by taking the ratio of the RMS signal to
the RMS noise plus distortion. RMS noise plus distor-
tion includes all spectral components to the Nyquist
frequency excluding the fundamental and the DC offset:

Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of the first five harmonics of the input signal to the
fundamental itself. This is expressed as:

where V1 is the fundamental amplitude and V2–V5 are
the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 5th-order harmonics.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR)
SFDR is a dynamic figure of merit that indicates the low-
est usable input signal amplitude. SFDR is the ratio of
the RMS amplitude of the fundamental (maximum signal
component) to the RMS value of the next largest spuri-
ous component, excluding DC offset. SFDR is specified
in decibels with respect to the carrier (dBc).
Full-Power Bandwidth
Full-power bandwidth is the frequency at which the input
signal amplitude attenuates by 3dB for a full-scale input.
Full-Linear Bandwidth
Full-linear bandwidth is the frequency at which the
signal-to-noise ratio and distortion (SINAD) is equal to a
specified value.
Intermodulation Distortion
Any device with nonlinearities creates distortion prod-
ucts when two sine waves at two different frequencies
(f1 and f2) are applied into the device. Intermodulation
distortion (IMD) is the total power of the IM2 to IM5 inter-
modulation products to the Nyquist frequency relative to
the total input power of the two input tones, f1 and f2. The
individual input tone levels are at -6dBFS.
