MAX11301
PIXI, 20-Port Programmable Mixed-Signal I/O with
12-Bit ADC, 12-Bit DAC, Analog Switches, and GPIO
General Description
Benefits and Features
● 20 Configurable Mixed-Signal Ports Maximize Design
Flexibility Across Platforms
™
The MAX11301 integrates a PIXI , 12-bit, multichannel,
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a 12-bit, multichan-
nel, buffered digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in a single
integrated circuit. This device offers 20 mixed-signal high-
voltage, bipolar ports, which are configurable as an ADC
analog input, a DAC analog output, a general purpose
input (GPI), a general-purpose output (GPO), or an analog
switch terminal. One internal and two external temperature
sensors track junction and environmental temperature.
Adjacent pairs of ports are configurable as a logic-level
translator for open-drain devices or an analog switch.
• Up to 20 12-Bit ADC Inputs
- Single-Ended, Differential, or Pseudo-Differential
- Range Options: 0 to 2.5V, ±5V, 0 to +10V,
-10V to 0V
- Programmable Sample Averaging Per ADC Port
- Unique Voltage Reference for Each ADC PIXI Port
• Up to 20 12-Bit DAC Outputs
- Range Options: ±5V, 0 to +10V, -10V to 0V
- 25mA Current Drive Capability with Overcurrent
Protection
PIXI ports provide highly flexible hardware configuration
for 12-bit mixed-signal applications. The MAX11301 is best
suited for applications that demand a mixture of analog and
digital functions. Each port is individually configurable with
up to four selectable voltage ranges within -10V to +10V.
• Up to 20 General-Purpose Digital I/Os
- 0 to +5V GPI Input Range
- 0 to +2.5V GPI Programmable Threshold Range
- 0 to +10V GPO Programmable Output Range
- Logic-Level Shifting Between Any Two Pins
The MAX11301 allows for the averaging of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,
64, or 128 ADC samples from each ADC-configured port
to improve noise performance. A DAC-configured output
port can drive up to 25mA. The GPIO ports can be pro-
grammed to user-defined logic levels, and a GPI coupled
with a GPO forms a logic-level translator.
• 60Ω Analog Switch Between Adjacent PIXI Ports
• Internal/External Temperature Sensors, ±1˚C
Accuracy
● Adapts to Specific Application Requirements and
Allows for Easy Reconfiguration as System Needs
Change
Internal and external temperature measurements monitor
programmable conditions of minimum and maximum tem-
perature limits, using the interrupt to notify the host if one
or more conditions occur. The temperature measurement
results are made available through the serial interface.
● Configurability of Functions Enables Optimized PCB
Layout
● Reduces BOM Cost with Fewer Components in
The MAX11301 features an internal, low-noise 2.5V volt-
age reference and provides the option to use external
voltage references with separate inputs for the DAC and

ADC. The MAX11301 uses a 400kHz I C-compatible
serial interface, operating from a 5V analog supply and a
1.8V to 5.0V digital supply. The PIXI port supply voltages
operate from a wide -12.0V to +12.0V.
The MAX11301 is available in a 40-pin TQFN, 6mm x 6mm
package or a 48-pin TQFP, 9mm x 9mm package specified
over the -40°C to +105°C temperature range.
