2.7V to 3.6V and 4.5V to 5.5V, Low-Power,
4-/12-Channel 2-Wire Serial 8-Bit ADCs
The MAX1036–MAX1039 low-power, 8-bit, multichannel,
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) feature internal
track/hold (T/H), voltage reference, clock, and an
I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface. These devices
operate from a single supply and require only 350µA at
the maximum sampling rate of 188ksps. AutoShutdown™ powers down the devices between conversions reducing supply current to less than 1µA at low
throughput rates. The MAX1036/MAX1037 have four analog input channels each, while the MAX1038/MAX1039
have twelve analog input channels. The analog inputs are
software configurable for unipolar or bipolar and singleended or pseudo-differential operation.
The full-scale analog input range is determined by the
internal reference or by an externally applied reference
voltage ranging from 1V to V DD . The MAX1037/
MAX1039 feature a 2.048V internal reference and the
MAX1036/MAX1038 feature a 4.096V internal reference.
The MAX1036/MAX1037 are available in 8-pin SOT23
packages. The MAX1038/MAX1039 are available in 16pin QSOP packages. The MAX1036–MAX1039 are guaranteed over the extended industrial temperature range
(-40°C to +85°C). Refer to MAX1136–MAX1139 for 10-bit
devices and to the MAX1236–MAX1239 for 12-bit
devices.

Note 1: The MAX1036/MAX1038 are tested at VDD = 5V and the MAX1037/MAX1039 are tested at VDD = 3V. All devices are configured for unipolar, single-ended inputs.
Note 2: Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the full-scale range and
offsets have been calibrated.
Note 3: Offset nulled.
Note 4: Ground on channel; sine wave applied to all off channels.
Note 5: Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles (8) multiplied by the clock period. Conversion time does not
include acquisition time. SCL is the conversion clock in the external clock mode.
Note 6: The absolute voltage range for the analog inputs (AIN0–AIN11) is from GND to VDD.
Note 7: When AIN_/REF is configured to be an internal reference (SEL[2:1] = 11), decouple AIN_/REF to GND with a 0.01µF capacitor.
Note 8: The switch connecting the reference buffer to AIN_/REF has a typical on-resistance of 675Ω.
Note 9: ADC performance is limited by the converter’s noise floor, typically 1.4mVP-P.
Note 10: Electrical characteristics are guaranteed from VDD(min) to VDD(max). For operation beyond this range, see the Typical
Operating Characteristics.
Note 11: Power-supply rejection ratio is measured as:
N
[VFS (3.3V) − VFS (2.7V)] × V2REF
3.3V − 2.7V
, for the MAX1037/MAX1039 where N is the number of bits and VREF = 2.048V.
Power-supply rejection ratio is measured as:
N
[VFS (5.5V) − VFS (4.5V)] × V2REF
5.5V − 4.5V
, for the MAX1036/MAX1038 where N is the number of bits and VREF = 4.096V.
Note 12: A master device must provide a data hold time for SDA (referred to VIL of SCL) in order to bridge the undefined region of
SCL’s falling edge (Figure 1).
Note 13: CB = total capacitance of one bus line in pF. tR and tF measured between 0.3VDD and 0.7VDD. Minimum specification is
tested at +25°C with CB = 400pF.
Note 14: fSCLH must meet the minimum clock low time plus the rise/fall times.

Detailed Description
The MAX1036–MAX1039 ADCs use successiveapproximation conversion techniques and input T/H circuitry to capture and convert an analog signal to a
serial 8-bit digital output. The MAX1036/MAX1037 are
4-channel ADCs, and the MAX1038/MAX1039 are 12channel ADCs. These devices feature a high-speed 2wire serial interface supporting data rates up to
1.7MHz. Figure 3 shows the simplified functional diagram for the MAX1038/MAX1039.
Power Supply
The MAX1036–MAX1039 operate from a single supply
and consume 350µA at sampling rates up to 188ksps.
The MAX1037/MAX1039 feature a 2.048V internal
reference and the MAX1036/MAX1038 feature a 4.096V
internal reference. All devices can be configured for
use with an external reference from 1V to VDD.
Analog Input and Track/Hold
The MAX1036–MAX1039 analog input architecture contains an analog input multiplexer (MUX), a T/H capacitor, T/H switches, a comparator, and a switched
capacitor digital-to-analog converter (DAC) (Figure 4).
In single-ended mode, the analog input multiplexer connects CT/H to the analog input selected by CS[3:0] (see
the Configuration/Setup Bytes (Write Cycle) section). The
charge on CT/H is referenced to GND when converted. In
pseudo-differential mode, the analog input multiplexer
connects C T/H to the ‘+’ analog input selected by
CS[3:0]. The charge on CT/H is referenced to the ‘-’ analog input when converted.
8
The MAX1036–MAX1039 input configuration is pseudodifferential in that only the signal at the ‘+’ analog input
is sampled with the T/H circuitry. The ‘-’ analog input
signal must remain stable within ±0.5LSB (±0.1LSB for
best results) with respect to GND during a conversion.
To accomplish this, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from ‘-’
analog input to GND. See the Single-Ended/PseudoDifferential Input section.
During the acquisition interval, the T/H switches are in
the track position and CT/H charges to the analog input
signal. At the end of the acquisition interval, the T/H
switches move to the hold position retaining the charge
on CT/H as a sample of the input signal.
During the conversion interval, the switched capacitive
DAC adjusts to restore the comparator input voltage to
zero within the limits of 8-bit resolution. This action
requires eight conversion clock cycles and is equivalent to transferring a charge of 18pF ✕ (VIN+ - VIN-)
from CT/H to the binary weighted capacitive DAC forming a digital representation of the analog input signal.
Sufficiently low source impedance is required to ensure
an accurate sample. A source impedance below 1.5kΩ
does not significantly degrade sampling accuracy. To
minimize sampling errors with higher source impedances, connect a 100pF capacitor from the analog
input to GND. This input capacitor forms an RC filter
with the source impedance limiting the analog input
bandwidth. For larger source impedances, use a buffer
amplifier to maintain analog input signal integrity.
When operating in internal clock mode, the T/H circuitry
enters its tracking mode on the ninth falling clock edge

of the address byte (see the Slave Address section).
The T/H circuitry enters hold mode two internal clock
cycles later. A conversion or series of conversions are
then internally clocked (eight clock cycles per conversion) and the MAX1036–MAX1039 hold SCL low. When
operating in external clock mode, the T/H circuitry
enters track mode on the seventh falling edge of a valid
slave address byte. Hold mode is then entered on the
falling edge of the eighth clock cycle. The conversion is
performed during the next eight clock cycles.
The time required for the T/H circuitry to acquire an
input signal is a function of input capacitance. If the
analog input source impedance is high, the acquisition
time lengthens and more time must be allowed
between conversions. The acquisition time (tACQ) is the
minimum time needed for the signal to be acquired. It
is calculated by:
tACQ ≥ 6.25 ✕ (RSOURCE + RIN) ✕ CIN
where RSOURCE is the analog input source impedance,
RIN = 2.5kΩ, and CIN = 18pF. tACQ is 1/fSCL for external

time is two internal clock cycles. To select RSOURCE,
allow 625ns for tACQ in internal clock mode to account
for clock frequency variations.

Analog Input Bandwidth
Analog Input Range and Protection
The MAX1036–MAX1039 feature input tracking circuitry
with a 2MHz small signal-bandwidth. The 2MHz input
bandwidth makes it possible to digitize high-speed
transient events and measure periodic signals with
bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by
using undersampling techniques. To avoid high frequency signals being aliased into the frequency band
of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.
Internal protection diodes clamp the analog input to
VDD and GND. These diodes allow the analog inputs to
swing from (GND - 0.3V) to (VDD + 0.3V) without causing damage to the device. For accurate conversions,
the inputs must not go more than 50mV below GND or
above VDD. If the analog input exceeds VDD by more
than 50mV, the input current should be limited to 2mA.

DESCRIPTION
Register bit. 1 = Setup Byte, 0 = Configuration Byte (Table 2).
Three bits select the reference voltage and the state of AIN_/REF (Table 6). Default to 000 at
power-up.
1 = External clock, 0 = Internal clock. Defaulted to zero at power-up.
1 = Bipolar, 0 = Unipolar. Defaulted to zero at power-up (see the Unipolar/Bipolar section).
1 = No action, 0 = Resets the configuration register to default. Setup register remains
unchanged.
Don’t care, can be set to 1 or 0.
Single-Ended/Pseudo-Differential Input
Digital Interface
The SGL/DIF bit of the configuration byte configures the
MAX1036–MAX1039 analog input circuitry for singleended or pseudo-differential inputs (Table 2). In singleended mode (SGL/DIF = 1), the digital conversion results
are the difference between the analog input selected by
CS[3:0] and GND (Table 3). In pseudo-differential mode
(SGL/DIF = 0), the digital conversion results are the difference between the ‘+’ and the ‘-’ analog inputs selected
by CS[3:0] (Table 4). The ‘-’ analog input signal must
remain stable within ±0.5LSB (±0.1LSB for best results)
with respect to GND during a conversion.
The MAX1036–MAX1039 feature a 2-wire interface consisting of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line
(SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate bidirectional communication between the MAX1036–MAX1039 and the master
at rates up to 1.7MHz. The MAX1036–MAX1039 are
slaves that transmit and receive data. The master (typically a microcontroller) initiates data transfer on the bus
and generates SCL to permit that transfer.
SDA and SCL must be pulled high. This is typically
done with pullup resistors (500Ω or greater) (see
Typical Operating Circuit). Series resistors (RS) are
optional. They protect the input architecture of the
MAX1036–MAX1039 from high-voltage spikes on the
bus lines and minimize crosstalk and undershoot of the
bus signals.
Unipolar/Bipolar
When operating in pseudo-differential mode, the BIP/
UNI bit of the setup byte (Table 1) selects unipolar or
bipolar operation. Unipolar mode sets the differential
analog input range from zero to VREF. A negative differential analog input in unipolar mode causes the digital
output code to be zero. Selecting bipolar mode sets the
differential input range to ±VREF/2, with respect to the
negative input. The digital output code is binary in
unipolar mode and two’s complement binary in bipolar
mode (see the Transfer Functions section).
In single-ended mode, the MAX1036–MAX1039 always
operate in unipolar mode regardless of the BIP/UNI
setting, and the analog inputs are internally referenced
to GND with a full-scale input range from zero to VREF.
Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock
cycle. Nine clock cycles are required to transfer the
data in or out of the MAX1036–MAX1039. The data on
SDA must remain stable during the high period of the
SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA while SCL is high are
control signals (see the START and STOP Conditions
section). Both SDA and SCL idle high when the bus is
not busy.
START and STOP Conditions
The master initiates a transmission with a START condition (S), a high-to-low transition on SDA with SCL high.
The master terminates a transmission with a STOP
condition (P), a low-to-high transition on SDA, while

SCL is high (Figure 5). A repeated START condition (Sr)
can be used in place of a STOP condition to leave the
bus active and in its current timing mode (see the HSMode section).
Acknowledge Bits
Successful data transfers are acknowledged with an
acknowledge bit (A) or a not-acknowledge bit (A). Both
the master and the MAX1036–MAX1039 (slave) generate
acknowledge bits. To generate an “acknowledge,” the
receiving device must pull SDA low before the rising
edge of the acknowledge related clock pulse (ninth
pulse) and keep it low during the high period of the clock
pulse (Figure 6). To generate a “not acknowledge,” the
receiver allows SDA to be pulled high before the rising
edge of the acknowledge related clock pulse and leaves
it high during the high period of the clock pulse.
Monitoring the acknowledge bits allows for detection of
unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data
transfer happens if a receiving device is busy or if a
system fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus master should reattempt
communication at a later time.
Slave Address
A bus master initiates communication with a slave
device by issuing a START condition followed by a
slave address. When idle, the MAX1036–MAX1039 continuously wait for a START condition followed by their
slave address. When the MAX1036–MAX1039 recognize their slave address, they are ready to accept or
send data. The slave address has been factory programmed and is always 1100100 for the MAX1036/
MAX1037, and 1100101 for MAX1038/ MAX1039
(Figure 7). The least significant bit (LSB) of the address
byte (R/W) determines whether the master is writing to
or reading from the MAX1036–MAX1039 (R/W = zero
selects a write condition. R/W = 1 selects a read condition). After receiving the address, the MAX1036–
MAX1039 (slave) issue an acknowledge by pulling SDA
low for one clock cycle.
Bus Timing
At power-up, the MAX1036–MAX1039 bus timing
defaults to fast mode (F/S-mode) allowing conversion
rates up to 44ksps. The MAX1036–MAX1039 must
operate in high-speed mode (HS-mode) to achieve
conversion rates up to 188ksps. Figure 1 shows the bus
timing for the MAX1036–MAX1039’s 2-wire interface.
HS-Mode
At power-up, the MAX1036–MAX1039 bus timing is set
for F/S-mode. The master selects HS-mode by addressing all devices on the bus with the HS-mode master

code 0000 1XXX (X = Don’t care). After successfully
receiving the HS-mode master code, the MAX1036–
MAX1039 issues a not acknowledge, allowing SDA to be
pulled high for one clock cycle (Figure 8). After the not
acknowledge, the MAX1036–MAX1039 are in HS-mode.
The master must then send a repeated START followed
by a slave address to initiate HS-mode communication. If
the master generates a STOP condition, the
MAX1036–MAX1039 return to F/S-mode.
Configuration/Setup Bytes (Write Cycle)
Write cycles begin with the master issuing a START
condition followed by 7 address bits (Figure 7) and 1
write bit (R/W = zero). If the address byte is successfully received, the MAX1036–MAX1039 (slave) issue an
acknowledge. The master then writes to the slave. The
slave recognizes the received byte as the setup byte
(Table 1) if the most significant bit (MSB) is 1. If the
MSB is zero, the slave recognizes that byte as the configuration byte (Table 2). The master can write either 1
or 2 bytes to the slave in any order (setup byte then
configuration byte; configuration byte then setup byte;
setup byte only; configuration byte only; Figure 9). If the
slave receives bytes successfully, it issues an acknowledge. The master ends the write cycle by issuing a
STOP condition or a repeated START condition. When
operating in HS-mode, a STOP condition returns the
bus to F/S-mode (see the HS-Mode section).
Data Byte (Read Cycle)
A read cycle must be initiated to obtain conversion
results. Read cycles begin with the bus master issuing

a START condition followed by 7 address bits and a
read bit (R/W = 1). If the address byte is successfully
received, the MAX1036–MAX1039 (slave) issue an
acknowledge. The master then reads from the slave.
After the master has received the results, it can issue
an acknowledge if it wants to continue reading or a not
acknowledge if it no longer wishes to read. If the
MAX1036–MAX1039 receive a not acknowledge, they
release SDA allowing the master to generate a STOP
or repeated START. See the Clock Mode and Scan
Mode sections for detailed information on how data is
obtained and converted.
Clock Mode
The clock mode determines the conversion clock, the
acquisition time, and the conversion time. The clock
mode also affects the scan mode. The state of the
setup byte’s CLK bit determines the clock mode (Table
1). At power-up, the MAX1036–MAX1039 default to
internal clock mode (CLK = zero).
Internal Clock
When configured for internal clock mode (CLK = zero),
the MAX1036–MAX1039 use their internal oscillator as
the conversion clock. In internal clock mode, the
MAX1036–MAX1039 begin tracking analog input on the
ninth falling clock edge of a valid slave address byte.
Two internal clock cycles later, the analog signal is
acquired and the conversion begins. While tracking
and converting the analog input signal, the
MAX1036–MAX1039 hold SCL low (clock stretching).
After the conversion completes, the results are stored

in random access memory (RAM). If the scan mode is
set for multiple conversions, they all happen in succession with each additional result being stored in RAM.
The MAX1036/MAX1037 contain 8 bytes of RAM, and
the MAX1038/MAX1039 contain 12 bytes of RAM. Once
all conversions are complete, the MAX1036–MAX1039
release SCL, allowing it to be pulled high. The master
can now clock the results out of the output shift register
at a clock rate of up to 1.7MHz. SCL is stretched for a
maximum acquisition and conversion time of 7.6µs per
channel (Figure 10).
The device RAM contains all of the conversion results
when the MAX1036–MAX1039 release SCL. The converted results are read back in a first-in-first-out (FIFO)
sequence. If AIN_/REF is set to be a reference input or
output (SEL1 = 1, Table 6), AIN_/REF is excluded from
a multichannel scan. RAM contents can be read continuously. If reading continues past the last result stored in
RAM, the pointer wraps around and points to the first
result. Note that only the current conversion results are
read from memory. The device must be addressed with
a read command to obtain new conversion results.
The internal clock mode’s clock stretching quiets the
SCL bus signal, reducing the system noise during conversion. Using the internal clock also frees the master
(typically a microcontroller) from the burden of running
the conversion clock.
14
External Clock
When configured for external clock mode (CLK = 1),
the MAX1036–MAX1039 use SCL as the conversion
clock. In external clock mode, the MAX1036–MAX1039
begin tracking the analog input on the seventh falling
clock edge of a valid slave address byte. One SCL
clock cycle later, the analog signal is acquired and the
conversion begins. Unlike internal clock mode, converted data is available immediately after the slave-address
acknowledge bit. The device continuously converts
input channels dictated by the scan mode until given a
not acknowledge. There is no need to readdress the
device with a read command to obtain new conversion
results (Figure 11).
The conversion must complete in 9ms or droop on the
T/H capacitor degrades conversion results. Use internal
clock mode if the SCL clock period exceeds 1ms.
The MAX1036–MAX1039 must operate in external clock
mode for conversion rates up to 188ksps.
Scan Mode
SCAN0 and SCAN1 of the configuration byte set the
scan mode configuration. Table 5 shows the scanning
configurations. If AIN_/REF is set to be a reference input
or output (SEL1 = 1, Table 6), AIN_/REF is excluded
from a multichannel scan.

DESCRIPTION
Register bit. 1 = Setup Byte (Table 1), 0 = Configuration Byte.
Scan select bits. Two bits select the scanning configuration (Table 5). Default to 00 at
power-up.
Channel select bits. Four bits select which analog input channels are to be used for conversion
(Tables 3, 4). Default to 0000 at power-up. For MAX1036/MAX1037, CS3 and CS2 are internally
set to 0.
1 = single-ended, 0 = pseudo-differential (Tables 3, 4). Default to 1 at power-up (see the SingleEnded/Pseudo-Differential Input section).
Applications Information
Power-On Reset
The configuration and setup registers (Tables 1 and 2)
default to a single-ended, unipolar, single-channel conversion on AIN0 using the internal clock with VDD as the
reference and AIN_/REF configured as an analog input.
The RAM contents are unknown after power-up.
Automatic Shutdown
SEL[2:0] of the setup byte (Tables 1 and 6) controls the
state of the reference and AIN_/REF. If automatic shutdown is selected (SEL[2:0] = 100), shutdown occurs
between conversions when the MAX1036–MAX1039 are
idle. When operating in external clock mode, a STOP
condition must be issued to place the devices in idle
mode and benefit from automatic shutdown. A STOP
condition is not necessary in internal clock mode to benefit from automatic shutdown because power-down
occurs once all contents are written to memory (Figure
10). All analog circuitry is inactive in shutdown and supply current is less than 1µA. The digital conversion
results are maintained in RAM during shutdown and are
available for access through the serial interface at any
time prior to a STOP or repeated START condition.
When idle, the MAX1036–MAX1039 wait for a START
condition followed by their slave address (see the
Slave Address section). Upon reading a valid address
byte, the MAX1036–MAX1039 power up. The analog
circuits do not require any wakeup time from shutdown,
whether using external or internal reference.
Automatic shutdown results in dramatic power savings,
particularly at slow conversion rates. For example, at a
conversion rate of 10ksps, the average supply current
for the MAX1036 is 8µA and drops to 2µA at 1ksps.
At 0.1ksps the average supply current is just 1µA (see
Average Supply Current vs. Conversion Rate in the
Typical Operating Characteristics section).
Reference Voltage
SEL[2:0] of the setup byte (Table 1) controls the reference and the AIN_/REF configuration (Table 6). When
AIN_/REF is configured to be a reference input or reference output (SEL1 = 1), conversions on AIN_/REF
appear as if AIN_/REF is connected to GND (see Note
2 of Tables 3 and 4).
Internal Reference
The internal reference is 4.096V for the MAX1036/
MAX1038 and 2.048V for the MAX1037/MAX1039. SEL1
of the setup byte controls whether AIN_/REF is used for
an analog input or a reference (Table 6). When
AIN_/REF is configured to be an internal reference output (SEL[2:1] = 11), decouple AIN_/REF to GND with a
0.01µF capacitor. Due to the decoupling capacitor and
the 675Ω reference source impedance, allow 80µs for
the reference to stabilize during initial power-up. Once
powered up, the reference always remains on until
reconfigured. The reference should not be used to supply current for external circuitry.

Note 1: For MAX1036/MAX1037, CS3 and CS2 are internally set to zero.
Note 2: When SEL1 =1, a pseudo-differential read between AIN2 and AIN3/REF (MAX1036/MAX1037) or AIN10 and AIN11/REF
(MAX1038/MAX1039) returns the difference between GND and AIN2 or AIN10, respectively. For example, a pseudo-differential read of 1011 returns the negative difference between AIN10 and GND.
Note 3: When scanning multiple channels (SCAN0 = 0), CS0 = 0 causes the even-numbered channel-select bits to be scanned,
while CS0 = 1 causes the odd-numbered channel-select bits to be scanned. For example, if the MAX1038/MAX1039
SCAN[1:0] = 00 and CS[3:0] = 1010, a pseudo-differential read returns AIN0–AIN1, AIN2–AIN3, AIN4–AIN5, AIN6–AIN7,
AIN8–AIN9, and AIN10–AIN11. If the MAX1038/MAX1039 SCAN[1:0] = 00 and CS[3:0] = 1011, a pseudo-differential read
returns AIN1–AIN0, AIN3–AIN2, AIN5–AIN4, AIN7–AIN6, AIN9–AIN8, and AIN11–AIN10.

External Reference
The external reference can range from 1.0V to VDD. For
maximum conversion accuracy, the reference must be
able to deliver up to 30µA and have an output impedance of 1kΩ or less. If the reference has a higher output
impedance or is noisy, bypass it to GND as close to
AIN_/REF as possible with a 0.1µF capacitor.
Transfer Functions
Output data coding for the MAX1036–MAX1039 is binary
in unipolar mode and two’s complement binary in bipolar
mode with 1LSB = (VREF/2N) where N is the number of
bits (8). Code transitions occur halfway between successive-integer LSB values. Figures 12 and 13 show the
input/output (I/O) transfer functions for unipolar and bipolar operations, respectively.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use PC boards. Wire-wrap configurations are not recommended since the layout should
ensure proper separation of analog and digital traces. Do
not run analog and digital lines parallel to each other, and
do not lay out digital signal paths underneath the ADC
package. Use separate analog and digital PC board
ground sections with only one star point (Figure 14) con-
necting the two ground systems (analog and digital). For
lowest noise operation, ensure the ground return to the
star ground’s power supply is low impedance and as
short as possible. Route digital signals far away from sensitive analog and reference inputs.
High-frequency noise in the power supply (VDD) could
influence the proper operation of the ADC’s fast
comparator. Bypass V DD to the star ground with a
0.1µF capacitor located as close as possible to the
MAX1036–MAX1039 power-supply pin. Minimize
capacitor lead length for best supply-noise rejection,
and add an attenuation resistor (5Ω) if the power supply is extremely noisy.
Definitions
Integral Nonlinearity
Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values
on an actual transfer function from a straight line. This
straight line can be either a best-straight-line fit or a line
drawn between the endpoints of the transfer function,
once offset and gain errors have been nullified. The INL
is measured using the endpoint method.

Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between
an actual step width and the ideal value of 1LSB. A
DNL error specification of less than 1LSB guarantees
no missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital samples, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio of full-scale
analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quantization error
(residual error). The ideal, theoretical minimum analogto-digital noise is caused by quantization error only and
results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N bits):
SNR = (6.02 ✕ N + 1.76)dB

Signal-to-Noise Plus Distortion
Signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) is the ratio of the
fundamental input frequency’s RMS amplitude to RMS
equivalent of all other ADC output signals.
SINAD (dB) = 20 ✕ log (SignalRMS / NoiseRMS)
Effective Number of Bits
Effective number of bits (ENOB) indicates the global
accuracy of an ADC at a specific input frequency and
sampling rate. An ideal ADC’s error consists of quantization noise only. With an input range equal to the
ADC’s full-scale range, calculate the ENOB as follows:
ENOB = (SINAD - 1.76) / 6.02
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is the ratio of the RMS
sum of the input signal’s first five harmonics to the fundamental itself. This is expressed as:
⎛ ⎛
⎞
2
2
2
2⎞
THD = 20 × log ⎜ ⎜ V2 + V3 + V4 + V5 ⎟ / V1 ⎟
⎜ ⎝
⎟
⎠
⎝
⎠
where V1 is the fundamental amplitude, and V2 through
V5 are the amplitudes of the 2nd- through 5th-order
harmonics.
Spurious-Free Dynamic Range
Spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is the ratio of RMS
amplitude of the fundamental (maximum signal component) to the RMS value of the next-largest distortion
component.

MAX1036–MAX1039
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantization noise, including thermal noise, reference noise,
clock jitter, etc. Therefore, SNR is computed by taking
the ratio of the RMS signal to the RMS noise, which
includes all spectral components minus the fundamental, the first five harmonics, and the DC offset.
