2.7V to 3.6V and 4.5V to 5.5V, Low-Power,
4-/12-Channel, 2-Wire Serial 10-Bit ADCs
General Description
Features
o High-Speed I C-Compatible Serial Interface
400kHz Fast Mode
2
The MAX1136–MAX1139 low-power, 10-bit, multichan-
nel analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) feature internal
track/hold (T/H), voltage reference, clock, and an
1.7MHz High-Speed Mode
2
I C™-compatible 2-wire serial interface. These devices
o Single-Supply
operate from a single supply of 2.7V to 3.6V (MAX1137/
MAX1139) or 4.5V to 5.5V (MAX1136/MAX1138) and
require only 670µA at the maximum sampling rate of
94.4ksps. Supply current falls below 230µA for sam-
pling rates under 46ksps. AutoShutdown™ powers
down the devices between conversions, reducing sup-
ply current to less than 1µA at low throughput rates.
The MAX1136/MAX1137 have four analog input chan-
nels each, while the MAX1138/MAX1139 have 12 ana-
log input channels each. The fully differential analog
inputs are software configurable for unipolar or bipolar,
and single ended or differential operation.

The MAX1136/MAX1137 are available in an 8-pin µMAX
package. The MAX1138/MAX1139 are available in a
16-pin QSOP package. The MAX1136–MAX1139 are
guaranteed over the extended temperature range
(-40°C to +85°C). For pin-compatible 12-bit parts, refer
to the MAX1136–MAX1139 data sheet. For pin-compati-
ble 8-bit parts, refer to the MAX1036–MAX1039 data
sheet.
