MAX1228AEEP+ Descripción general
What is an SAR ADC? A successive-approximation-register analog-to-digital converter is a precision data-conversion architecture that uses an internal comparator, a DAC, and a register to binary-search the input voltage over N clock cycles for an N-bit result. SAR ADCs offer an excellent balance of speed, resolution, and power consumption, making them the dominant choice for multiplexed multi-channel data-acquisition systems in industrial control, instrumentation, and sensor monitoring.
Key features of the MAX1228AEEP+ include a true-differential analog multiplexer with bipolar input modes (±VREF/2, ±VREF, 0 to VREF), 16-entry FIFO for reduced host-processor overhead, scan-mode automatic channel sequencing, an SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, and a dedicated REF pin for an optional external reference. The internal reference settles quickly and offers ±2 LBP (least-significant-bit) initial accuracy at 25°C, supporting 12-bit performance without external precision components.
The MAX1228AEEP+ integrates signal conditioning and conversion on a single die: a track/hold amplifier, the SAR engine, the reference, the FIFO, and a bandgap temperature sensor. This integration reduces board space and BOM cost in multi-channel systems while keeping digital noise isolated from the analog supply via separate AVDD/DVDD pins.
Typical applications include process-control data acquisition, HVAC and building-automation sensor monitoring, medical instrumentation, weigh scales, 4-20 mA loop monitoring, and portable or rack-mounted industrial instruments requiring 12-bit precision across multiple analog sensor channels plus onboard temperature compensation.
Designers should observe star-ground separation between AVDD and DVDD, place the 10 µF bypass and 0.1 µF decoupling within 5 mm of the supply pins, and use the FIFO to relax timing on burst-mode conversions. The internal reference can be overdriven by an external reference for ratiometric measurements with bridge sensors.

Aplicaciones típicas
MAX1228AEEP+ es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Industrial Process-Control Data Acquisition, HVAC and Building-Automation Sensor Monitoring, Medical Instrumentation Signal Chains, Weigh-Scale and Force-Bridge Sensor Front Ends, 4-20 mA Loop and Industrial Sensor Monitoring, Portable Test & Measurement Instrumentation.
Industrial Process-Control Data Acquisition
The MAX1228AEEP+ fits multi-channel industrial DAQ cards because its 6-/12-channel mux and 300 ksps throughput scan a backplane of 4-20 mA loop receivers, RTD/thermocouple amplifiers, and pressure transducers at sub-millisecond per-channel rates. The internal 4.096 V reference removes the need for an external reference IC, shrinking the BOM, while the ±1 °C internal temperature sensor enables cold-junction compensation of thermocouple front-ends without an extra ADC channel. With FIFO depth of 16 the host PLC or MCU can sleep between conversion bursts and only wake to drain the buffer, which reduces firmware timing pressure. Engineers typically pair the part with an external 4-20 mA front-end and digital-isolation barrier, using the bipolar ±VREF input mode to read bi-directional sensor signal chains directly.
Recomendado
HVAC and Building-Automation Sensor Monitoring
Building-automation controllers use the MAX1228AEEP+ to digitize temperature, humidity, CO2, occupancy, and air-quality sensor outputs across 12 single-ended or 6 bipolar channels. The internal ±1 °C temperature sensor provides a redundant on-chip thermal channel for cold-junction-free HVAC logic, while the 4.096 V internal reference gives 1 mV per LSB at 12-bit resolution - directly supporting 0-10 V field-sensor ranges without external scaling. The SPI/QSPI interface drops directly onto the embedded MCU bus used by BACnet or Modbus stacks, and the 16-entry FIFO absorbs scan bursts so firmware stays simple. Power dissipation at 5 V stays well below 100 mW even at 300 ksps, important for fan-cooled control-panel thermal budgets.
Recomendado
Medical Instrumentation Signal Chains
Patient-monitor and point-of-care instrument designers pick the MAX1228AEEP+ because its 12-bit resolution and 4.096 V internal reference give 1 mV per LSB at the input, enough to digitize ECG front-ends, SpO2 photodiode current-to-voltage outputs, and small-signal bio-impedance channels. The bipolar ±VREF and ±VREF/2 input modes let the same ADC sit ahead of a single-supply instrumentation amplifier output stage. The internal temperature sensor enables on-board ambient logging for traceability. With the FIFO, the host CPU can drain conversions in bulk and focus its cycles on algorithm work such as heart-rate detection or pulse-oximetry math, while staying in a low-power sleep state during idle phases.
Recomendado
Weigh-Scale and Force-Bridge Sensor Front Ends
Weigh-scale designs favor the MAX1228AEEP+ because the 4.096 V internal reference pairs perfectly with a 350 ohm load-cell bridge excited by the same supply, giving ratiometric measurement in which the excitation noise cancels out. The 12 single-ended inputs let one chip handle up to four full-bridge load cells plus auxiliary sensors (temperature, level). The bipolar input mode conveniently measures small differential bridge offsets around mid-rail. The FIFO buffers fast settling events for batch read-out by the host MCU while the ±1 °C on-chip temperature sensor compensates bridge gain drift due to ambient temperature swings. This integrates the entire analog-to-digital conversion chain onto a single QSOP, simplifying ESD and EMI shielding of the front end.
Recomendado
4-20 mA Loop and Industrial Sensor Monitoring
Process-control loops use the MAX1228AEEP+ to digitize multiple 4-20 mA current loops after a low-side shunt resistor, providing a compact and inexpensive solution for rack-mount I/O cards. The 5 V analog supply matches the loop-compliance requirements, and the bipolar ±VREF input mode covers the full 4-20 mA span including 0 (4 mA) and 100% (20 mA) endpoints. Because the part integrates the reference, FIFO, and temperature sensor, designers can fit eight to twelve channels on a single 20-pin QSOP footprint - keeping board area small while satisfying isolation requirements through external digital isolators on the SPI bus.
Recomendado
Portable Test & Measurement Instrumentation
Handheld multimeters and bench instruments benefit from the MAX1228AEEP+ low component count, integration of a 4.096 V reference, and on-chip temperature sensor. The 20-QSOP footprint fits inside the tight battery-powered enclosures typical of modern instruments. Designers exploit the 16-entry FIFO to buffer samples during asynchronous trigger events (peak-hold, glitch capture) and the bipolar ±VREF input mode to measure AC-signals after an external divider without a negative supply rail. Because the part is rated -40 °C to +85 °C, it operates reliably outdoors, on factory floors, and in unattended data-logger deployments alike.

Notas de diseño
Use a separate low-impedance digital ground return for any digital return currents, and tie AGND and DGND together only at one point on the PCB star-ground structure to prevent digital noise from corrupting the analog input. Place a 10 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass within 5 mm of pins 19 and 20 (DVDD and AVDD). On the REF pin (18) place 10 µF + 0.1 µF for the internal reference buffer; this dramatically lowers ADC noise and improves SINAD.
Estimated: driving the analog inputs from a source impedance greater than 1 kΩ can materially degrade the SAR acquisition timing and cause gain error. Use op-amp buffers ahead of AIN0-AIN11 with at least 1 mA drive capability if the source impedance exceeds 200 Ω. Also ensure the input signal does not exceed AVDD even briefly during transients, because the input ESD diodes will clamp to AVDD, distorting the conversion and potentially latching up the part.
Route the analog input traces as a differential pair away from the SPI lines (SCLK, DOUT, DIN/CS, CNVST) and avoid running them parallel to high-edge-rate signals on the same layer. Keep the analog ground plane unbroken beneath the ADC and its input network; serve as the return path for both ADC core current and external analog circuits. Place the REF bypass capacitors as physically close to pins 18, 19, and 20 as the QSOP-20 package allows.
When using the bipolar ±VREF input mode to digitize signals around mid-rail, ensure the reference is settled before triggering a conversion (CNVST). The internal 4.096 V reference needs ~2 ms settling after power-up; design firmware to wait at least 5 ms after AVDD crosses 4.75 V before launching the first conversion. For ratiometric bridge measurements, overdrive REF with the bridge excitation voltage to get first-order rejection of excitation drift.
