2.7V to 3.6V and 4.5V to 5.5V, Low-Power,
4-/8-/12-Channel, 2-Wire Serial 10-Bit ADCs
The MAX11606–MAX11611 low-power, 10-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 of 2.7V to 3.6V (MAX11607/
MAX11609/MAX11611) or 4.5V to 5.5V (MAX11606/
MAX11608/MAX11610) and require only 670µA at the
maximum sampling rate of 94.4ksps. Supply current falls
below 230µA for sampling rates under 46ksps.
AutoShutdown™ powers down the devices between conversions, reducing supply current to less than 1µA at low
throughput rates. The MAX11606/MAX11607 have 4 analog
input channels each, the MAX11608/MAX11609 have 8 analog input channels each, while the MAX11610/MAX11611
have 12 analog input channels each. The fully differential
analog inputs are software configurable for unipolar or bipolar, and single ended or 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 MAX11607/
MAX11609/MAX11611 feature a 2.048V internal reference
and the MAX11606/MAX11608/MAX11610 feature a
4.096V internal reference.
The MAX11606/MAX11607 are available in an 8-pin
µMAX® package. The MAX11608–MAX11611 are available in a 16-pin QSOP package. The MAX11606–
MAX11611 are guaranteed over the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). For pin-compatible 12-bit
parts, refer to the MAX11612–MAX11617 data sheet. For
pin-compatible 8-bit parts, refer to the MAX11600–
MAX11605 data sheet.

Note 1: For DC accuracy, the MAX11606/MAX11608/MAX11610 are tested at VDD = 5V and the MAX11607/MAX11609/MAX11611
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: Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles needed for conversion multiplied by the clock period. Conversion
time does not include acquisition time. SCL is the conversion clock in the external clock mode.
Note 5: A filter on the SDA and SCL inputs suppresses noise spikes and delays the sampling instant.
Note 6: The absolute input-voltage range for the analog inputs (AIN0–AIN11) is from GND to VDD.
Note 7: When the internal reference is configured to be available at AIN_/REF (SEL[2:1] = 11), decouple AIN_/REF to GND with a
0.1µF capacitor and a 2kΩ series resistor (see the Typical Operating Circuit).
Note 8: ADC performance is limited by the converter’s noise floor, typically 300µVP-P.
Note 9: Measured as follows for the MAX11607/MAX11609/MAX11611:
⎡
2N − 1⎤
⎢[VFS (3.6V) − VFS (2.7V)] ×
⎥
VREF ⎦
⎣
(3.6V − 2.7V)
and for the MAX11606/MAX11608/MAX11610, where N is the number of bits:
⎡
2N − 1⎤
⎢[VFS (5.5V) − VFS (4.5V)] ×
⎥
VREF ⎦
⎣
(5.5V − 4.5V)
Note 10: A master device must provide a data hold time for SDA (referred to VIL of SCL) to bridge the undefined region of SCL’s
falling edge (see Figure 1).
Note 11: The minimum value is specified at TA = +25°C.
Note 12: CB = total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
Note 13: fSCL must meet the minimum clock low time plus the rise/fall times.

Detailed Description
The MAX11606–MAX11611 analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs) use successive-approximation conversion techniques and fully differential input track/hold (T/H) circuitry to capture and convert an analog signal to a
serial 12-bit digital output. The MAX11606/MAX11607
are 4-channel ADCs, the MAX11608/MAX11609 are
8-channel ADCs, and the MAX11610/MAX11611 are
12-channel ADCs. These devices feature a high-speed
2-wire serial interface supporting data rates up to
The MAX11606–MAX11611 analog-input architecture
contains an analog-input multiplexer (mux), a fully differential track-and-hold (T/H) capacitor, T/H switches, a
comparator, and a fully differential switched capacitive
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) (Figure 4).
In single-ended mode, the analog-input multiplexer connects C T/H between the analog input selected by
CS[3:0] (see the Configuration/Setup Bytes (Write
Cycle) section) and GND (Table 3). In differential mode,
the analog- input multiplexer connects CT/H to the + and
- analog inputs selected by CS[3:0] (Table 4).
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 stable sample of the input signal.
During the conversion interval, the switched capacitive
DAC adjusts to restore the comparator input voltage to
0V within the limits of 10-bit resolution. This action
requires 10 conversion clock cycles and is equivalent
to transferring a charge of 11pF (VIN+ - VIN-) from
CT/H to the binary weighted capacitive DAC, forming a
digital representation of the analog input signal.
clock pulse during the shifting out of the first byte of the
result. The conversion is performed during the next 10
clock cycles.
The time required for the T/H circuitry to acquire an
input signal is a function of the input sample capacitance. If the analog-input source impedance is high,
the acquisition time constant 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:
Sufficiently low source impedance is required to ensure
an accurate sample. A source impedance of up to 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 and bandwidth.
When operating in internal clock mode, the T/H circuitry
enters its tracking mode on the eighth rising clock edge
of the address byte (see the Slave Address section). The
T/H circuitry enters hold mode on the falling clock edge of
the acknowledge bit of the address byte (the ninth clock
pulse). A conversion or a series of conversions is then
internally clocked and the MAX11606–MAX11611 holds
SCL low. With external clock mode, the T/H circuitry
enters track mode after a valid address on the rising
edge of the clock during the read (R/W = 1) bit. Hold
mode is then entered on the rising edge of the second
tACQ ≥ 9 (RSOURCE + RIN) CIN
where RSOURCE is the analog-input source impedance,
RIN = 2.5kΩ, and CIN = 22pF. tACQ is 1.5/fSCL for internal
clock mode and tACQ = 2/fSCL for external clock mode.
Analog Input Bandwidth
The MAX11606–MAX11611 feature input-tracking circuitry with a 5MHz small-signal bandwidth. The 5MHz
input bandwidth makes it possible to digitize highspeed transient events and measure periodic signals
with bandwidths exceeding the ADC’s sampling rate by
using under sampling techniques. To avoid high-frequency signals being aliased into the frequency band
of interest, anti-alias filtering is recommended.
Analog Input Range and Protection
Internal protection diodes clamp the analog input to
VDD and GND. These diodes allow the analog inputs to

Single-Ended/Differential Input
The SGL/DIF of the configuration byte configures the
MAX11606–MAX11611 analog-input circuitry for singleended or differential inputs (Table 2). In single-ended
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 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).
Unipolar/Bipolar
When operating in differential mode, the BIP/UNI bit of
the setup byte (Table 1) selects unipolar or bipolar
operation. Unipolar mode sets the differential input
range from 0 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. The digital output code is binary in unipolar mode and two’s complement in bipolar
mode. See the Transfer Functions section.
In single-ended mode, the MAX11606–MAX11611
always operate in unipolar mode irrespective of
BIP/UNI. The analog inputs are internally referenced to
GND with a full-scale input range from 0 to VREF.
2-Wire Digital Interface
The MAX11606–MAX11611 feature a 2-wire interface
consisting of a serial-data line (SDA) and serial-clock line
(SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate bidirectional communication between the MAX11606–MAX11611 and the master
at rates up to 1.7MHz. The MAX11606–MAX11611 are
slaves that transfer and receive data. The master (typically a microcontroller) initiates data transfer on the bus
and generates the SCL signal to permit that transfer.
SDA and SCL must be pulled high. This is typically done
with pullup resistors (750Ω or greater) (see the Typical
Operating Circuit). Series resistors (RS) are optional.
They protect the input architecture of the MAX11606–
MAX11611 from high voltage spikes on the bus lines,
minimize crosstalk, and undershoot of the bus signals.
Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock
cycle. A minimum of 18 clock cycles are required to
transfer the data in or out of the MAX11606–
MAX11611. The data on SDA must remain stable during the high period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in
SDA while SCL is stable are considered control signals
(see the START and STOP Conditions section). Both
SDA and SCL remain 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 while SCL is 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
the mode unchanged (see the HS Mode section).
Sr
S
P
SDA
SCL
Figure 5. START and STOP Conditions
Acknowledge Bits
Data transfers are acknowledged with an acknowledge
bit (A) or a not-acknowledge bit (A). Both the master
and the MAX11606–MAX11611 (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 SDA 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.

Figure 7. MAX11606/MAX11607 Slave Address Byte
Slave Address
A bus master initiates communication with a slave device
by issuing a START condition followed by a slave
address. When idle, the MAX11606–MAX11611 continuously wait for a START condition followed by their slave
address. When the MAX11606–MAX11611 recognize
their slave address, they are ready to accept or send
data. The slave address has been factory programmed
and is always 0110100 for the MAX11606/MAX11607,
0110011 for the MAX11608/MAX11609, and 0110101 for
MAX11610/MAX11611 (Figure 7). The least significant bit
(LSB) of the address byte (R/W) determines whether the
master is writing to or reading from the MAX11606–
MAX11611 (R/W = 0 selects a write condition, R/W = 1
selects a read condition). After receiving the address, the
MAX11606–MAX11611 (slave) issues an acknowledge by
pulling SDA low for one clock cycle.
up to 22.2ksps. The MAX11606–MAX11611 must operate in high-speed mode (HS mode) to achieve conversion rates up to 94.4ksps. Figure 1 shows the bus timing
for the MAX11606–MAX11611’s 2-wire interface.
HS Mode
At power-up, the MAX11606–MAX11611 bus timing is
set for F/S mode. The bus 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
MAX11606–MAX11611 issue a not-acknowledge, allowing SDA to be pulled high for one clock cycle (Figure 8).
After the not-acknowledge, the MAX11606–MAX11611
are in HS mode. The bus 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 MAX11606–MAX11611 returns to
F/S mode.

then configuration byte; configuration byte then setup
byte; setup byte or configuration byte only; Figure 9). If
the slave receives a byte successfully, it issues an
acknowledge. The master ends the write cycle by issuing a STOP condition or a repeated START condition.

a read bit (R/W = 1). If the address byte is successfully
received, the MAX11606–MAX11611 (slave) issues an
acknowledge. The master then reads from the slave.
The result is transmitted in two bytes; first six bits of the
first byte are high, then MSB through LSB are consecutively clocked out. After the master has received the
byte(s), it can issue an acknowledge if it wants to continue reading or a not-acknowledge if it no longer wishes to read. If the MAX11606–MAX11611 receive a notacknowledge, they release SDA, allowing the master to
generate a STOP or a repeated START condition. See
the Clock Modes and Scan Mode sections for detailed
information on how data is obtained and converted.
Clock Modes
The clock mode determines the conversion clock and
the data acquisition and 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 MAX11606–MAX11611 are defaulted
to internal clock mode (CLK = 0).
Internal Clock
When configured for internal clock mode (CLK = 0), the
MAX11606–MAX11611 use their internal oscillator as the
conversion clock. In internal clock mode, the MAX11606–
MAX11611 begin tracking the analog input after a valid
address on the eighth rising edge of the clock. On the
falling edge of the ninth clock, the analog signal is
acquired and the conversion begins. While converting the
analog input signal, the MAX11606–MAX11611 holds SCL
low (clock stretching). After the conversion completes, the
results are stored in internal memory. If the scan mode is
set for multiple conversions, they all happen in succession
with each additional result stored in memory. The
MAX11606/MAX11607 contain four 10-bit blocks of memory, the MAX11608/MAX11609 contain eight 10-bit blocks of
memory, and the MAX11610/MAX11611 contain twelve 10bit blocks of memory. Once all conversions are complete,
the MAX11606–MAX11611 release SCL, allowing it to be
pulled high. The master may now clock the results out
of the memory in the same order the scan conversion
has been done at a clock rate of up to 1.7MHz. SCL is
stretched for a maximum of 7.6µs per channel (see
Figure 10).

Figure 10. Internal Clock Mode Read Cycles
The device memory contains all of the conversion results
when the MAX11606–MAX11611 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. This does not apply to the
MAX11608/MAX11609 as each provides separate pins
for AIN7 and REF. The memory contents can be read
continuously. If reading continues past the result stored
in memory, the pointer wraps around and point 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 bus
master (typically a microcontroller) from the burden of
running the conversion clock, allowing it to perform
other tasks that do not need to use the bus.

*When operating in external clock mode, there is no difference between SCAN[1:0] = 01 and SCAN[1:0] = 11, and converting occurs
perpetually until not acknowledge occurs.
External Clock
When configured for external clock mode (CLK = 1),
the MAX11606–MAX11611 use the SCL as the conversion clock. In external clock mode, the MAX11606–
MAX11611 begin tracking the analog input on the ninth
rising clock edge of a valid slave address byte. Two
SCL clock cycles later the analog signal is acquired
and the conversion begins. Unlike internal clock mode,
converted data is available immediately after the first
four empty high bits. The device continuously converts
input channels dictated by the scan mode until given a
not acknowledge. There is no need to re-address the
device with a read command to obtain new conversion
results (see Figure 11).
The conversion must complete in 1ms or droop on the
track-and-hold capacitor degrades conversion results.
Use internal clock mode if the SCL clock period
exceeds 60µs.
The MAX11606–MAX11611 must operate in external
clock mode for conversion rates from 40ksps to
94.4ksps. Below 40ksps internal clock mode is recommended due to much smaller power consumption.
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. The scanned results are written to memory in the same order as the conversion. Read
the results from memory in the order they were converted. Each result needs a 2-byte transmission, the first byte
begins with six empty bits during which SDA is left high.
Each byte has to be acknowledged by the master or the
memory transmission is terminated. It is not possible to
read the memory independently of conversion.
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 memory contents are unknown after power-up.
Automatic Shutdown
Automatic shutdown occurs between conversions when
the MAX11606–MAX11611 are idle. All analog circuits
participate in automatic shutdown except the internal
reference due to its prohibitively long wake-up time.
When operating in external clock mode, a STOP, notacknowledge or repeated START, 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 conversion results are written to memory (Figure 10). When

using an external reference or VDD as a reference, all
analog circuitry is inactive in shutdown and supply current is less than 0.5µA (typ). The digital conversion
results obtained in internal clock mode are maintained
in memory during shutdown and are available for
access through the serial interface at any time prior to a
STOP or a repeated START condition.
When idle, the MAX11606–MAX11611 continuously wait
for a START condition followed by their slave address (see
Slave Address section). Upon reading a valid address
byte the MAX11606–MAX11611 power-up. The internal
reference requires 10ms to wake up, so when using the
internal reference it should be powered up 10ms prior to
conversion or powered continuously. Wake-up is invisible
when using an external reference or VDD as the reference.
Automatic shutdown results in dramatic power savings,
particularly at slow conversion rates and with internal
clock. For example, at a conversion rate of 10ksps, the
average supply current for the MAX11607 is 60µA (typ)
and drops to 6µA (typ) at 1ksps. At 0.1ksps the average
supply current is just 1µA, or a minuscule 3µW of power
consumption, see Average Supply Current vs. Conversion
Rate in the Typical Operating Characteristics).

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 0.1µF capacitor and a 2kΩ series
resistor (see the Typical Operating Circuit). Once powered
up, the reference always remains on until reconfigured.
The internal reference requires 10ms to wake up and is
accessed using SEL0 (Table 6). When in shutdown, the
internal reference output is in a high-impedance state. The
reference should not be used to supply current for external circuitry. The internal reference does not require an

as possible. Route digital signals far away from sensitive analog and reference inputs.
External Reference
The external reference can range from 1V to VDD. For
maximum conversion accuracy, the reference must be
able to deliver up to 40µA and have an output impedance of 500Ω or less. If the reference has a higher output impedance or is noisy, bypass it to GND as close
as possible to AIN_/REF with a 0.1µF capacitor.
High-frequency noise in the power supply (VDD) could
influence the proper operation of the ADC’s fast comparator. Bypass VDD to the star ground with a network of
two parallel capacitors, 0.1µF and 4.7µF, located as
close as possible to the MAX11606–MAX11611 powersupply pin. Minimize capacitor lead length for best supply noise rejection, and add an attenuation resistor (5Ω)
in series with the power supply, if it is extremely noisy.
Transfer Functions
Definitions
Output data coding for the MAX11606–MAX11611 is
binary in unipolar mode and two’s complement in bipolar mode with 1LSB = (VREF/2N) where N is the number
of bits (10). Code transitions occur halfway between
successive-integer LSB values. Figure 12 and Figure
13 show the input/output (I/O) transfer functions for
unipolar and bipolar operations, respectively.
Layout, Grounding, and Bypassing
Only 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
layout digital signal paths underneath the ADC package. Use separate analog and digital PCB ground sections with only one star point (Figure 14) connecting 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
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 MAX11606–
MAX11611’s INL is measured using the endpoint.
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.
Aperture Jitter
Aperture jitter (tAJ) is the sample-to-sample variation in
the time between the samples.

Aperture Delay
Aperture delay (tAD) is the time between the falling
edge of the sampling clock and the instant when an
actual sample is taken.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
For a waveform perfectly reconstructed from digital samples, the theoretical maximum SNR is the ratio of the fullscale analog input (RMS value) to the RMS quantization
error (residual error). The ideal, theoretical minimum analog-to-digital noise is caused by quantization error only
and results directly from the ADC’s resolution (N Bits):
SNRMAX[dB] = 6.02dB N + 1.76dB
In reality, there are other noise sources besides quantization noise: thermal noise, reference noise, clock jitter,
etc. 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.
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
20
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:
⎡
⎤
SignalRMS
SINAD(dB) = 20 × log ⎢
⎥
NoiseRMS
+
THDRMS
⎣
⎦
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:
⎛
THD = 20 × log ⎜⎜
⎜
⎝
⎛ V 2 +V 2 +V 2 +V 2 ⎞ ⎞

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.
