MAX11335–MAX11340
500ksps, 12-/10-Bit, 4-/8-/16-Channel ADCs with
Post-Mux External Signal Conditioning Access
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX11335–MAX11340 are 12-/10-bit with external
reference and 500kHz, full-linear-bandwidth, high-speed,
low-power, serial-output successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The
MAX11335–MAX11340 provide external access to the
output of the integrated mux and ADC input, to simplify
conditioning. The MAX11335–MAX11340 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.

External pins provide access to the output of the
multiplexer and ADC inputs to simplify multichannel signal conditioning. The internal clock mode features an integrated 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 pseudodifferential inputs with respect to one common input. The
MAX11335–MAX11340 operate from a 2.35V to 3.6V supply and consume only 4.2mW at 500ksps.
The MAX11335–MAX11340 include AutoShutdownK,
fast wake-up, and a high-speed 3-wire serial interface.
The devices feature full power-down mode for optimal
power management. The 8MHz, 3-wire serial interface
directly connects to SPI, QSPIK, and MICROWIREM
devices without external logic.
Excellent dynamic performance, low voltage, low power,
ease of use, and small package size make these converters ideal for portable battery-powered data-acquisition
applications, and for other applications that demand low
power consumption and small space.
Applications
High-Speed Data Acquisition Systems
The MAX11335–MAX11340 are available in 32-pin, 5mm
x 5mm, TQFN packages and operate over the -40NC to
+125NC temperature range.

MAX11335–MAX11340
Detailed Description
The MAX11335–MAX11340 are 12-/10-bit with external
reference and industry-leading 500kHz, full linear bandwidth, high-speed, low-power, serial output successive
approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters
(ADC). These devices feature scan mode, internal averaging to increase SNR, and AutoShutdown.
The external clock mode features the SampleSet technology, a user-programmable analog input channel sequencer. The user may define and load a unique sequencing
pattern into the ADC allowing both high- and low-frequency inputs to be converted without interface activity. This
feature frees the controlling unit for other tasks while lowering overall system noise and power consumption.
The MAX11335–MAX11340 include internal clock. The
internal clock mode features an integrated FIFO, allowing
data to be sampled at high speed and then held for readout at any time or at a lower clock rate. Internal averaging
Maxim Integrated
is also supported in this mode improving SNR for noisy
input signals. All input channels are configurable for single-ended, fully differential or pseudo-differential inputs
in unipolar or bipolar mode. The MAX11335–MAX11340
operate from a 2.35V to 3.6V supply and consume only
4.2mW at 500ksps.
The MAX11335–MAX11340 include AutoShutdown, fast
wake-up, and a high-speed 3-wire serial interface. The
devices feature full power-down mode for optimal power
management.
Data is converted from analog voltage sources in a
variety of channel and data-acquisition configurations.
Microprocessor (FP) control is made easy through a 3-wire
SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface.
AOP and AON are the output pins of the internal multiplexer while AIP and AIN are the ADC inputs which are all
accessible externally through pins. This allows flexibility
to the system designer to process all signals through one
PGA (programmable gain amplifier), filter or gain stage
14
MAX11335–MAX11340
500ksps, 12-/10-Bit, 4-/8-/16-Channel ADCs with
Post-Mux External Signal Conditioning Access
in single-ended or differential configuration. The external
buffering stage should be designed to properly drive the
input sampling network of the ADC.
The external buffer should also have very high input
impedance (low-leakage current) to ensure best linearity.
If additional signal processing is not required, connect
AOP to AIP and AON to AIN. It is recommended to limit
the source impedance to not affect the sampling accuracy of the ADC causing degradation in linearity and total
harmonic distortion. See the SINAD vs. Input Resistance
graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
Input Bandwidth
The ADC’s input-tracking circuitry features a 500MHz
small-signal full-linear bandwidth to digitize high-speed
transient events and measure periodic signals with
bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by using
undersampling techniques. Anti-alias filtering of the input
signals is necessary to avoid high-frequency signals
aliasing into the frequency band of interest.
3-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX11335–MAX11340 feature a serial interface
compatible with SPI/QSPI and MICROWIRE devices. For
SPI/QSPI, ensure the CPU serial interface runs in master
mode to generate the serial clock signal. Select the SCLK
frequency of 8MHz or less, and set clock polarity (CPOL)
and phase (CPHA) in the control registers to the same
value. The MAX11335–MAX11340 operate with SCLK
idling high, and thus operate with CPOL = CPHA = 1.
Set CS low to latch input data at DIN on the rising edge
of SCLK. Output data at DOUT is updated on the falling
edge of SCLK. A high-to-low transition on CS samples
the analog inputs and initiates a new frame. A frame is
defined as the time between two falling edges of CS.
There is a minimum of 16 bits per frame. The serial data
input, DIN, carries data into the control registers clocked
in by the rising edge of SCLK. The serial data output,
DOUT, delivers the conversion results and is clocked out
by the falling edge of SCLK. DOUT is a 16-bit data word
containing a 4-bit channel address, followed by a 12-bit
conversion result led by the MSB when CHAN_ID is set
to 1 in the ADC Mode Control register (Figure 2a). When
CHAN_ID is set to 1 keep the SCLK high for at least 25ns
before the CS falling edge (Figure 2b). When CHAN_ID is
set to 0 (external clock mode only), the 16-bit data word
includes a leading zero and the 12-bit conversion result
is followed by 3 trailing zeros (Figure 2c). In the 10-bit
conversion result is followed by 5 trailing zeros.

Single-Ended, Differential,
and Pseudo-Differential Input
The MAX11335–MAX11340 include up to 16 analog input
channels that can be configured on a pin-by-pin basis
to 16 single-ended inputs, 8 fully differential pairs, or 15
pseudo-differential inputs with respect to one common
input (REF-/AIN15 is the common input).
The analog input range is 0V to VREF+ in single-ended
and pseudo-differential mode (unipolar) and QVREF+/2 or
QVREF+ in fully differential mode (bipolar) depending on
the RANGE register settings. See Table 7 for the RANGE
register settings.
Unipolar mode sets the differential input range from 0
to VREF+. If the positive analog input swings below the
negative analog input in unipolar mode, the digital output
code is zero. Selecting bipolar mode sets the differential
input range to QVREF+/2 or QVREF+ depending on the
RANGE register settings (Table 7).
In single-ended mode, the ADC always operates in unipolar mode. The analog inputs are internally referenced
to GND with a full-scale input range from 0V to VREF+.
Single-ended conversions are internally referenced to
GND (Figure 3).
The MAX11335–MAX11340 feature up to 15 pseudo
differential inputs by setting the PDIFF_COM bits in the
Unipolar register to 1 (Table 10). The 15 analog input signals inputs are referenced to a DC signal applied to the
REF-/AIN15.
Fully Differential Reference (REF+, REF-)
When the reference is used in fully differential mode
(REFSEL = 1), the full-scale range is set by the difference
between REF+ and REF-. The output code reaches its

maximum value if the input signal exceeds this reference
range.
ADC Transfer Function
The output format of the MAX11335–MAX11340 is straight
binary in unipolar mode and two’s complement in bipolar
mode. The code transitions midway between successive
integer LSB values, such as 0.5 LSB, 1.5 LSB. Figure
4 and Figure 5 show the unipolar and bipolar transfer
function, respectively. Output coding is binary, with for
example, 1 LSB = VREF+/4096 in the 12-bit devices such
as the MAX11335/MAX11336/MAX11337.
Internal FIFO
The MAX11335–MAX11340 contain a FIFO buffer that can
hold up to 16 ADC results. This allows the ADC to handle
multiple internally clocked conversions without tying up
the serial bus. If the FIFO is filled and further conversions
are requested without reading from the FIFO, the oldest
ADC results are overwritten by the new ADC results. Each

result contains 2 bytes, with the MSB preceded by four
leading channel address bits. After each falling edge of
CS, the oldest available byte of data is available at DOUT.
When the FIFO is empty, DOUT is zero.
External Clock
Apply a soft reset when changing from internal to external
clock mode: RESET [1:0] = 10. The detailed operation
of external clock mode is dependent on the mode of
operation selected for the device using SCAN[3:0] bit
settings (see Table 3). In external clock mode the analog
inputs are sampled at the falling edge of CS. Serial clock
(SCLK) is used to perform the conversion.
Depending on the mode selected, the sequencer reads
in the channel to be converted from the serial data input
(DIN) at each frame (e.g. manual mode). The conversion
results are sent to the serial output (DOUT) at the next
frame.
In other external clocked modes the sequence of channel
to be converted is determined by the mode (SCAN[3:0])
selected in Table 3. See the Applications Information for
more detail on programming modes.

Internal Clock
Apply a soft reset when changing from internal to external clock mode: RESET [1:0] = 10. The MAX11335–
MAX11340 operate from an internal oscillator, which is
accurate within Q15% of the 13.33MHz nominal clock
rate. Request internally timed conversions by writing the
appropriate sequence to the ADC Mode Control register
(Table 2).
The wake-up, acquisition, conversion, and shutdown
sequences are initiated through CNVST and are performed automatically using the internal oscillator. Results
are added to the internal FIFO.
With CS high, initiate a scan by setting CNVST low for
at least 5ns before pulling it high (Figure 6). Then, the
MAX11335–MAX11340 wake up, scan all requested
channels, store the results in the FIFO, and shut down.
After the scan is complete, EOC is pulled low and the
results are available in the FIFO. Wait until EOC goes
low before pulling CS low to communicate with the serial
interface. EOC stays low until CS or CNVST is pulled low
again. Do not initiate a second CNVST before EOC goes
low; otherwise, the FIFO may become corrupted.

500ksps, 12-/10-Bit, 4-/8-/16-Channel ADCs with
Post-Mux External Signal Conditioning Access
Alternatively, set SWCNV to 1 in the ADC Mode Control
register (Figure 4) to initiate conversions with CS rising
edge instead of cycling CNVST (Table 2). For proper
operation, CS must be held low for 17 clock cycles to
guarantee that the device interprets the SWCNV setting.
Wait until EOC goes low before pulling CS low to communicate with the serial interface. Upon completing the
conversion, SWCNV is reset to 0 (Figure 7).
Analog Input
The MAX11335–MAX11340 produce a digital output that
corresponds to the analog input voltage as long as the
analog inputs are within the specified operating range.
Internal protection diodes confine the analog input voltage within the region of the analog power input rails
(VDD, GND) and allow the analog input voltage to swing
from GND - 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V without damaging the
device. Input voltages beyond GND - 0.3V and VDD +
0.3V forward bias the internal protection diodes. Limit the
forward diode current to less than 50mA to avoid damage to the MAX11335–MAX11340.
ECHO
When writing to the ADC Configuration register, set
ECHO to 1 in ADC Configuration register to echo back
the configuration data onto DOUT at time n+1 (Figure 8,
Table 6).
Scan Modes
The MAX11335–MAX11340 feature nine scan modes
(Table 3).
Manual Mode
The next channel to be selected is identified in each SPI
frame. The conversion results are sent out in the next
frame. The manual mode works with the external clock
only. The FIFO is unused.
Repeat Mode
Repeat scanning channel N for number of times and
store all the conversion results in the FIFO. The number of
scans is programmed in the ADC Configuration register.
The repeat mode works with the internal clock only.
Custom_Int and Custom_Ext
In Custom_Int and Custom_Ext modes, the device scans
preprogrammed channels in ascending order. The channels to be scanned in sequence are programmed in the
Custom Scan0 or Custom Scan1 registers (see Table 12
and Table 13). A new I/P MUX is selected every frame
on the thirteenth falling edge of SCLK. Custom_Int works
with the internal clock. Custom_Ext works with the external clock.
Standard_Int and Standard_Ext
In Standard_Int and Standard_Ext modes, the device
scans channels 0 through N in ascending order where
N is the last channel specified in the ADC Mode Control
register. A new I/P MUX is selected every frame on the
thirteenth falling edge of SCLK. Standard_Int works with
the internal clock. Standard_Ext works with the external
clock.
Upper_Int and Upper_Ext
In Upper_Int and Upper_Ext modes, the device scans
channels N through 15/11/7/3 in ascending order where
N is the first channel specified in the ADC Mode Control
register. A new I/P MUX is selected every frame on the
thirteenth falling edge of SCLK. Upper_Int works with the
internal clock. Upper_Ext works with the external clock.
SampleSet
The SampleSet mode of operation allows the definition
of a unique channel sequence combination with maximum length of 256. SampleSet is supported only in the
external clock mode. SampleSet is ideally suited for multichannel measurement applications where some analog
inputs must be converted more often than others.

500ksps, 12-/10-Bit, 4-/8-/16-Channel ADCs with
Post-Mux External Signal Conditioning Access
The SampleSet approach provides greater sequencing
flexibility for multichannel applications while alleviating significant microcontroller communication overhead.
SampleSet technology allows the user to exploit available
ADC input bandwidth without need for constant communication between the ADC and controlling unit. The user
may define and load a unique sequencing pattern into
the ADC allowing both high- and low-frequency inputs
to be converted appropriately without interface activity.
With the unique sequence loaded into ADC memory, the
pattern may be repeated indefinitely or changed at any
time.
For example, the maximum throughput of MAX11335–
MAX11340 is 500ksps. Traditional ADC scan modes

MAX11335–MAX11340
500ksps, 12-/10-Bit, 4-/8-/16-Channel ADCs with
Post-Mux External Signal Conditioning Access
allow up to 16-channel conversions in ascending order.
In this case, the effective throughput per channel is
500ksps/16 channel or 31.25ksps. The maximum input
frequency that the ADC can resolve (Nyquist Theorem)
is 15.625kHz. If all 16 channels must be measured, with
some channels having greater than 15.625kHz input
frequency, the user must revert back to manual mode
requiring constant communication on the serial interface.
SampleSet technology solves this problem. Figure 9 provides a SampleSet use-model example.
Averaging Mode
In averaging mode, the device performs the specified
number of conversions and returns the average for each
requested result in the FIFO. The averaging mode works
with internal clock only.
Scan Modes and Unipolar/Bipolar Setting
When the Unipolar or Bipolar registers are configured
as pseudo-differential or fully differential, the analog
input pairs are repeated in this automated mode. For
example, if N is set to 15 to scan all 16 channels and
all analog input pairs are configured for fully-differential
conversion, the ADC converts the channels twice. In this
case, the user may avoid dual conversions on input pairs
by implementing Manual mode or using Custom_Int or
Custom_Ext scan modes and only scan even (or odd)
channels (e.g. 0, 2, 4).

The MAX11335–MAX11340 communicate between the
internal registers and the external circuitry through the
SPI-/QSPI-compatible serial interface. Table 1 details the
register access and control. Table 2 through Table 14
detail the various functions and configurations.
For ADC mode control, set bit 15 of the register code
identification to zero. The ADC Mode Control register
determines when and under what scan condition the
ADC operates.
U Full shutdown where all circuitry is shutdown.
U Partial shutdown where all circuitry is powered down
except for the internal bias generator.
AutoShutdown with External Clock Mode
When the PM_ bits in the ADC Mode Control register are
asserted (Table 5), the device shuts down at the rising
edge of CS in the next frame. The device powers up
again at the following falling edge of CS. There are two
available options:
U AutoShutdown where all circuitry is shutdown.
To set the ADC data configuration, set the bit 15 of the
register code identification to one.
U AutoStandby where all circuitry are powered down
except for the internal bias generator.
Power-Down Mode
AutoShutdown with Internal Clock Mode
The device shuts down after all conversions are completed. The device powers up again at the next falling edge
of CNVST or at the rising edge of CS after the SWCNV
bit is asserted.
The MAX11335–MAX11340 feature three power-down
modes.
Static Shutdown
The devices shut down when the SPM bits in the ADC
Configuration register are asserted (Table 6). There are

ADC Output as a Function
of Unipolar and Bipolar Modes
The ADC Scan Control register (Table 3) determines the
ADC mode of operation. The Unipolar and Bipolar registers in Table 10 and Table 11 determine output coding
and whether input configuration is single-ended or fully
differential.
Table 9 details the conversion output for analog inputs,
AIN0 and AIN1. The truth table is consistent for any other
valid input pairs (AINn/AINn+1). Table 8 shows the applicable input signal format with respect to analog input
configurations.
CHSEL[3:0] is used for MANUAL, REPEAT,
STANDARD_EXT, STANDARD_INT, UPPER_EXT,
UPPER_INT modes of operation. CHSCAN[15:0] is used
for CUSTOM_EXT and CUSTOM_INT modes of operation.
SampleSet Mode of Operation
The SampleSet register stores the unique channel
sequence length. The sequence pattern is comprised of
up to 256 unique single-ended and/or differential conversions with any order or pattern.
Maxim Integrated
Patterns are assembled in 4-bit channel identifier nibbles as described in Table 4. Figure 10 presents the
SampleSet timing diagram. Note that two CS frames are
required to configure the SampleSet functionality. The
first frame indicates the sequence length. The second
frame is used to encode the channel sequence pattern.
After the SampleSet register has been coded (Table 14),
by the next falling edge of CS, the new SampleSet pattern
is activated (Figure 10). If the pattern length is less than
SEQ_LENGTH, the remaining channels default to AIN0. If
the select pattern length is greater than SEQ_LENGTH,
the additional data is ignored as the ADC waits for the rising edge of CS. If CS is asserted in the middle of a nibble,
the full nibble defaults to AIN0.
Upon receiving the SampleSet pattern, the user can
set the ADC Mode Control register to begin the conversion process where data readout begins with the first
SampleSet entry. While the last conversion result is read,
the ADC can be instructed to enter AutoShutdown, if
desired. If the user wishes to change the SampleSet
length, a new pattern must be loaded into the ADC as
described in Figure 10.

Applications Information
How to Program Modes
1) Configure the ADC (set the MSB on DIN to 1).
2) Program ADC mode control (set the MSB on DIN to 0)
to begin the conversion process or to control power
management features.
• If ADC mode control is written during a conversion
sequence, the ADC finishes the present conversion and at the next falling edge of CS initiates its
new instruction.
• If configuration data (MSB on DIN is a 1) is written
during a conversion sequence, the ADC finishes
the present conversion in the existing scan mode.
However, data on DOUT is not valid in following
frames until a new ADC mode control instruction
is coded.
Programming Sequence Flow Chart
See Figure 11 for programming sequence.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
For best performance, use PCBs with a solid ground
plane. Ensure that digital and analog signal lines are
separated from each other. Do not run analog and digital
(especially clock) lines parallel to one another or digital
lines underneath the ADC package. Noise in the VDD,
Maxim Integrated
OVDD, and REF affects the ADC’s performance. Bypass
the VDD, OVDD, and REF to ground with 0.1FF and 10FF
bypass capacitors. Minimize capacitor lead and trace
lengths for best supply-noise rejection.
Choosing an Input Amplifier
It is important to match the settling time of the input
amplifier to the acquisition time of the ADC. The conver
sion results are accurate when the ADC samples the
input signal for an interval longer than the input signal’s
worst-case settling time. By definition, settling time is the
interval between the application of an input voltage step
and the point at which the output signal reaches and
stays within a given error band centered on the resulting steady-state amplifier output level. The ADC input
sampling capacitor charges during the sampling cycle,
referred to as the acquisition period. During this acquisition period, the settling time is affected by the input resistance and the input sampling capacitance. This error
can be estimated by looking at the settling of an RC time
constant using the input capacitance and the source
impedance over the acquisition time period. Figure 13
shows a typical application circuit. The MAX4430, offering a settling time of 37ns at 16-bit resolution, is an excellent choice for this application.
Table 15 lists several recommended operational amplifiers for MAX11335–MAX11340.

Choosing a Reference
For devices using an external reference, the choice of the
reference determines the output accuracy of the ADC.
An ideal voltage reference provides a perfect initial accuracy and maintains the reference voltage independent
of changes in load current, temperature, and time. The
following parameters need to be considered in selecting
a reference:
U Initial voltage accuracy
U Temperature drift
U Current source capability
U Current sink capability
U Quiescent current
U Noise. See Table 16.

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 end points of the transfer function,
once offset and gain errors have been nulled. The static
linearity parameters for the MAX11335–MAX11340 are
measured using the end-points method.
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.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) is expressed as:
THD
=
Differential Nonlinearity
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between
an actual step width and the ideal value of 1 LSB. A DNL
error specification of 1 LSB or less guarantees no missing codes and a monotonic transfer function.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Signal-to-noise ratio is the ratio of the amplitude of the
desired signal to the amplitude of noise signals at a
given point in time. The larger the number, the better. The
theoretical minimum analog-to-digital noise is caused by
quantization error and results directly from the ADC’s
resolution (N bits):
V 2 + V32 + V42 + V52
20 × log 2
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 the
RMS amplitude of the fundamental (maximum signal
component) to the RMS value of the next largest distortion component.
Full-Power Bandwidth
Full-power bandwidth is the frequency at which the input
signal amplitude attenuates by 3dB for a full-scale input.
SNR = (6.02 x N + 1.76) dB

Full-Linear Bandwidth
Chip Information
Full-linear bandwidth is the frequency at which the
signal-to-noise plus distortion (SINAD) is more than 70dB
(MAX11335/MAX11336/MAX11337).
PROCESS: BiCMOS
Intermodulation Distortion
Any device with nonlinearities creates distortion products
when two sine waves at two different frequencies (f1 and
f2) are input into the device. Intermodulation distortion
(IMD) is the total power of the IM2 to IM5 intermodulation
products to the Nyquist frequency relative to the total
input power of the two input tones, f1 and f2. The individual input tone levels are at -6dBFS.
