Low-Cost, 2-Channel, ±14-Bit Serial ADCs
General Description
The MAX110/MAX111 analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs) use an internal auto-calibration technique to
achieve 14-bit resolution plus overrange, with no exter-
nal components. Operating supply current is only
550µA (MAX110) and reduces to 4µA in power-down
mode, making these ADCs ideal for high-resolution bat-
tery-powered or remote-sensing applications. A fast
serial interface simplifies signal routing and opto-isola-
tion, saves microcontroller pins, and offers compatibility
with SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™. The MAX110
operates with ±5V supplies, and converts differential
analog signals in the -3V to +3V range. The MAX111
operates with a single +5V supply and converts differ-
ential analog signals in the ±1.5V range, or single-
ended signals in the 0V to +1.5V range.
Internal calibration allows for both offset and gain-error
correction under microprocessor (µP) control. Both
devices are available in space-saving 16-pin DIP and
SO packages, as well as an even smaller 20-pin SSOP
package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
