The MAX11321–MAX11328 are 12-/10-bit with external
reference and 500kHz, full-linear-bandwidth, high-speed,
low-power, serial-output successive approximation reg-
ister (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The
MAX11321–MAX11328 provide external access to the
output of the integrated mux and ADC input, to simplify
conditioning. The MAX11321–MAX11328 include both
internal and external clock modes. These devices feature
scan mode in both internal and external clock modes. The
internal clock mode features internal averaging to increase
SNR. The external clock mode features the SampleSetK
technology, a user-programmable analog input channel
sequencer. The SampleSet approach provides greater
sequencing flexibility for multichannel applications while
alleviating significant microcontroller or DSP (controlling
unit) communication overhead.
16-/8-/4-Channel Single-Ended
12-/8-/4-Channel Fully-Differential Pairs
15-/8-/4-Channel Pseudo-Differential Relative to
a Common Input
S Externally Accessible Multiplex Output and
ADC Input
S Two Software-Selectable Bipolar Input Ranges
External pins provide access to the output of the
multiplexer and ADC inputs to simplify multichannel sig-
nal conditioning. The internal clock mode features an inte-
grated FIFO allowing data to be sampled at high speeds
and then held for readout at any time or at a lower clock
rate. Internal averaging is also supported in internal clock
mode improving SNR for noisy input signals. The devices
feature analog input channels that can be configured to
be single-ended inputs, fully differential pairs, or pseudo-
differential inputs with respect to one common input. The
MAX11321–MAX11328 operate from a 2.35V to 3.6V sup-
ply and consume only 5.4mW at 1Msps.

S Wide -40NC to +125NC Operation
directly connects to SPI, QSPIK, and MICROWIRE
devices without external logic.
S Space-Saving, 32-Pin, 5mm x 5mm TQFN Packages
S 1Msps Conversion Rate, No Pipeline Delay
Excellent dynamic performance, low voltage, low power,
ease of use, and small package size make these convert-
ers ideal for portable battery-powered data-acquisition
applications, and for other applications that demand low
power consumption and small space.
