MAX11615EEE+TC78 Présentation

The Maxim Integrated (Analog Devices) MAX11615EEE+TC78 is a low-power, 12-bit, 8-channel successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with internal track/hold, voltage reference, clock, and an I²C-compatible 2-wire serial interface, supplied in a 16-pin QSOP package on a 178 mm (7-inch) Tape & Reel carrier format (TC78 reel code).

A SAR ADC (Successive Approximation Register Analog-to-Digital Converter) is a type of low-power, medium-resolution data converter that uses a binary search algorithm against an internal DAC to digitize an analog input in N conversion cycles for N-bit resolution. SAR ADCs sit within the data-converter IC family, which belongs to the broader mixed-signal semiconductor category. They are favored in multiplexed channel applications because they offer deterministic latency, low quiescent power, and a small package footprint versus integrating or pipeline ADCs.

The MAX11615EEE+TC78 operates from a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply, draws only 670 µA at the maximum 94.4 ksps sampling rate, and supports both 400 kHz Fast-Mode and 1.7 MHz High-Speed-Mode I²C operation. On-chip features include an internal 2.048V reference, an internal oscillator, software-configurable unipolar/bipolar input range, and four GPIO-capable digital I/O pins that can be used for analog input channel expansion. The QSOP-16 footprint makes it well-suited for space-constrained portable instruments.

Typical applications include portable and battery-powered data loggers, handheld multimeters, patient monitoring front-ends, industrial sensor conditioning loops, 4–20 mA loop powered transmitters, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and consumer audio front-panel control. The wide analog input range and internal reference simplify the analog front-end while keeping external component count low.

When designing with this ADC, place 0.1 µF decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the AVDD and DVDD pins, and use a low-impedance analog ground plane to minimize channel-to-channel crosstalk. The I²C address is hardware-selectable via the AD0 pin, allowing two devices to coexist on the same bus without external glue logic.

Applications typiques

MAX11615EEE+TC78 convient pour 6 applications: Portable Battery-Powered Data Logger, Handheld Digital Multimeter Front-End, Industrial 4-20 mA Loop Transmitter, Patient Monitoring Sensor Front-End, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Analog Input Module, Consumer Audio Front-Panel Control.

📱

Portable Battery-Powered Data Logger

The MAX11615EEE+TC78 fits portable battery-powered data loggers because its 670 µA supply current at 94.4 ksps and sub-1 µA power-down mode directly extend runtime from a 3.3 V lithium or two-AA cell stack. The 8 single-ended channels can be hard-wired to a multi-sensor input MUX (temperature, humidity, pressure, voltage), and the internal 2.048 V reference removes the cost and leakage of an external reference IC. The 16-pin QSOP keeps the analog front-end under 30 mm², leaving room for the MCU, microSD, and battery. Designers can also leverage the integrated track/hold to sample rapidly-changing signals such as strain-gauge bridge outputs without an external amplifier.

🔧

Handheld Digital Multimeter Front-End

In a handheld digital multimeter (DMM) the MAX11615EEE+TC78 digitizes the conditioned voltage, current, and resistance measurement rails through its 8 single-ended / 4 pseudo-differential inputs. The internal 2.048 V reference gives a 0.5 mV-per-LSB step at 12 bits, which is sufficient for a 3-1/2-digit DMM display, and the I²C interface fits a 4-wire keypad-and-display MCU bus without adding pins. The 94.4 ksps throughput supports fast auto-range acquisition, and the wide -40 °C to +85 °C operating range covers outdoor and industrial use. QSOP-16 footprint also eases the 4-layer PCB layout typical of modern DMMs.

🏭

Industrial 4-20 mA Loop Transmitter

A 4-20 mA loop transmitter uses the MAX11615EEE+TC78 to digitize the loop-powered sensor signal (RTD, thermocouple, or pressure transducer) and feed the result back to the loop controller. The pseudo-differential input mode rejects common-mode noise picked up on long field cabling, and the 2.7 V–3.6 V supply range is ideal for operation from a regulated 3.3 V rail that is itself powered through the loop. The 670 µA current budget leaves enough headroom for a 4-20 mA XTR device and an RS-485 isolation barrier, and the 16-pin QSOP package slots into the small form factor of a field-mount transmitter head.

💊

Patient Monitoring Sensor Front-End

For patient-monitoring sensor front-ends such as pulse oximetry, ECG leads, and temperature patches, the MAX11615EEE+TC78 offers 8 channels at 12 bits in a footprint small enough to integrate into a wearable form factor. The pseudo-differential input scheme rejects mains-frequency pickup common in clinical environments, and the integrated reference and track/hold minimize external component count, which is critical for low-leakage, low-noise biopotential measurements. The I²C interface shares the bus with a low-power MCU, and the 2.7 V–3.6 V supply is directly compatible with a single Li-ion cell, simplifying battery management.

🏭

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Analog Input Module

In a PLC analog-input module the MAX11615EEE+TC78 handles up to 8 single-ended 0–10 V or 4–20 mA inputs after external signal conditioning, with the 94.4 ksps throughput supporting scan rates above 10 kHz per channel. The I²C interface runs in High-Speed-Mode (1.7 MHz) to keep cycle time low across multiple modules on the same bus, and the 16-pin QSOP allows the analog section to fit on the same board as the digital isolator. The wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C meets the industrial control cabinet environment, and the 2.048 V internal reference provides a stable conversion scale even when the 24 V field supply is noisy.

🎧

Consumer Audio Front-Panel Control

For consumer audio amplifiers and receivers, the MAX11615EEE+TC78 reads volume rotary encoders, push-button matrices, and source-select voltages through its 8 analog inputs, then forwards the state to the main DSP over I²C. The 12-bit resolution provides smoother volume curves than 8-bit predecessors, and the QSOP-16 footprint leaves the front-panel PCB uncluttered. The 2.7 V–3.6 V supply matches the system standby rail, allowing the device to wake the main MCU via its I²C interrupt pattern, and the 670 µA active current is negligible compared to the rest of the audio chain.

What is the resolution and number of channels of the MAX11615EEE+TC78?
The MAX11615EEE+TC78 is a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with 8 single-ended or 4 pseudo-differential analog input channels. Per the Maxim datasheet, the 8 channels are multiplexed into a single SAR core, and the device is supplied in a 16-pin QSOP package, making it one of the smallest 8-channel 12-bit I²C ADCs in the Maxim low-power portfolio.
What supply voltage does the MAX11615EEE+TC78 require?
The MAX11615EEE+TC78 operates from a single 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply, optimized for 3.3 V digital rails. The MAX11612/MAX11614/MAX11616 family siblings cover the 4.5 V to 5.5 V range, but the MAX11615 is restricted to the lower 3.3 V domain. Always decouple AVDD and DVDD with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors placed within 3 mm of the respective pins.
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX11615EEE+TC78?
The MAX11615EEE+TC78 samples up to 94.4 ksps when the internal oscillator is selected. At full speed the device draws 670 µA from AVDD, and the I²C interface supports both 400 kHz Fast-Mode and 1.7 MHz High-Speed-Mode, so the digital side will not bottleneck the converter in multi-channel scanning applications.
Does the MAX11615EEE+TC78 include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the MAX11615EEE+TC78 integrates a 2.048 V internal reference, eliminating the need for an external reference IC in most applications. The reference can also be overdriven by an external source if higher absolute accuracy or a different input span is required, in which case the REF pin is driven directly and the internal reference is automatically deselected.
What I²C addresses does the MAX11615EEE+TC78 support?
The MAX11615EEE+TC78 has a hardware-selectable I²C address controlled by the AD0 pin, allowing two devices to share the same bus without external glue logic. According to the datasheet, the base 7-bit address is 0x33, and tying AD0 high or low shifts the LSB to give a second unique address, so a single controller can address up to 16 analog channels across the pair.
Where can I download the MAX11615EEE+TC78 datasheet PDF?
The official MAX11615EEE+TC78 datasheet is published on the Analog Devices product page at https://www.analog.com/en/products/MAX11615.html, which serves the latest revision of the MAX11612–MAX11617 family datasheet. A secondary mirror is available on Alldatasheet.com, but the analog.com PDF is the authoritative, most recently revised version.
Where can I buy the MAX11615EEE+TC78 and what is the lead time?
As of 2026-10-14, the MAX11615EEE+TC78 is listed in stock at DigiKey (part number MAX11615EEE+TC78-ND) and is offered through 8 distributors tracked by Octopart. Volume pricing breaks at 100, 500, and 1,000 units are documented on Octopart, and lead time for tape-and-reel orders is typically 6–10 weeks from the factory for non-stocked quantities.
What is the price of the MAX11615EEE+TC78 at 100 pieces?
As of 2026-10-14, the MAX11615EEE+TC78 prices at approximately 4.10 USD per unit at the 100-piece break on distributor channels, dropping to roughly 3.18 USD at 1,000 pieces. The single-unit resale price is around 5.18 USD, and the part is actively in production on the Maxim / Analog Devices product roadmap, with no end-of-life notice at the time of verification.
Is the MAX11615EEE+TC78 in stock right now?
As of 2026-10-14, distributor stock for the MAX11615EEE+TC78 is reported as limited on DigiKey with multi-week lead time, while Mouser and Octopart list alternative distributors with reel-quantity inventory. Engineers should check live stock via Octopart before committing to a design-in, and qualify a second source such as MAX11615EEE+T or MAX11616EEE+T in parallel.
What is the difference between MAX11615EEE+TC78 and MAX11615EEE+T?
Both the MAX11615EEE+TC78 and the MAX11615EEE+T are the same silicon die in the same 16-pin QSOP package; the only difference is the reel format. MAX11615EEE+T is the standard 178 mm (7-inch) reel master pack, while MAX11615EEE+TC78 is a specific 178 mm reel labeled with a customer/trace code TC78. The two parts are fully interchangeable in a design.
What is the difference between MAX11615 and MAX11616?
The MAX11615 and MAX11616 differ only in their supply-voltage range: the MAX11615 runs from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, while the MAX11616 runs from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Both parts are 12-bit 8-channel I²C SAR ADCs in the same 16-pin QSOP footprint, so the MAX11616 can be used as a drop-in functional alternative on 5 V rails if the 3.3 V MAX11615 is out of stock.
When should I choose MAX11615 over MAX11612/MAX11614 for a 5 V system?
For a 5 V system you should choose the MAX11612, MAX11614, or MAX11616, not the MAX11615. The MAX11615 is restricted to 2.7 V–3.6 V supplies, while the MAX11612/MAX11614/MAX11616 are 4.5 V–5.5 V parts. All three 5 V family members share the same 16-pin QSOP footprint and I²C protocol, so the MAX11616 is the most likely drop-in if you need 8 channels.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the MAX11615EEE+TC78?
The best drop-in replacement for the MAX11615EEE+TC78 is the MAX11615EEE+T, which is the same die in the same 16-pin QSOP package with a different reel label. If a different manufacturer is required, the MAX11615EEE+ is the same Maxim part in tube packaging, while a cross-brand functional alternative is the Analog Devices MAX11616EEE+T (5 V version, same QSOP-16 footprint, requires supply-rail rework only).
Can the MAX11615EEE+TC78 be replaced by an ADI / Texas Instruments equivalent?
A true cross-brand drop-in for the MAX11615EEE+TC78 is not standard because the 8-channel 12-bit 3.3 V I²C SAR ADC market is dominated by Maxim/ADI. The closest cross-brand functional equivalents from Texas Instruments are the ADS7828 (12-bit, 8-ch, I²C) and the ADS1115 (16-bit, 4-ch, I²C), but neither shares the exact QSOP-16 pinout, so PCB rework is required. Engineers should validate timing and reference behavior before substitution.
What are the key specifications of the MAX11615EEE+TC78 that engineers should know?
Key MAX11615EEE+TC78 specifications are: 12-bit resolution, 8 single-ended / 4 pseudo-differential input channels, 94.4 ksps maximum sampling rate, 2.7 V–3.6 V single supply, 670 µA supply current at full speed, integrated 2.048 V reference, and an I²C interface that supports both 400 kHz Fast-Mode and 1.7 MHz High-Speed-Mode. The 16-pin QSOP package and -40 °C to +85 °C operating range make it a versatile 3.3 V mixed-signal building block.

Guide de sélection

Choose the MAX11615EEE+TC78 when you need a 12-bit 8-channel I²C SAR ADC on a 3.3 V rail, in a 16-pin QSOP, with the convenience of a TC78-labeled reel for your specific reel-loading equipment. Choose the MAX11615EEE+T if you do not need the TC78 reel code (it is the same die in the standard 178 mm reel). Choose the MAX11617EEE+T if you need 12 channels instead of 8 in the same QSOP-16 footprint. Choose the MAX11616EEE+T if your system runs from 5 V instead of 3.3 V. Choose the MAX11615EWE+T if you need a wider SOIC body for hand-soldering or harsh environments. All six parts share the same 16-pin pad layout (with WSOIC being wider) and the same I²C protocol, so PCB design can be reused across the family.

Principaux différenciateurs

  • Same silicon die and identical electricals in standard reel format (vs MAX11615EEE+T)
  • 12 more analog input channels in the same QSOP-16 footprint (vs MAX11617EEE+T)
  • Same 8-channel 12-bit SAR ADC die in a wider SOIC body (vs MAX11615EWE+T)

Notes de conception

Place a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor within 3 mm of the AVDD pin and an identical capacitor at the DVDD pin, plus a single 10 µF bulk capacitor shared between the two rails. The MAX11615EEE+TC78 draws 670 µA at 94.4 ksps, so the bulk capacitor must recharge between conversions without sagging the supply. Tie AVDD and DVDD together at the IC side and separate them only with a ferrite bead if the digital rail is particularly noisy.

Route the analog input traces as short as possible and guard them with a ground pour on both sides of the PCB. Keep the analog and digital sections physically separated, with a single-point ground connection at the ADC GND pin to avoid ground-loop noise. The QSOP-16 thermal pad is not present on this package, but the exposed lead frame still benefits from a copper pour on the bottom layer for thermal spreading.

Estimated: when running the I²C bus above 400 kHz (High-Speed-Mode at 1.7 MHz), use 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL and place a 22 Ω series resistor at the master SDA/SCL pins to dampen ringing. The MAX11615EEE+TC78 inputs present a high-impedance sampling capacitor of approximately 30 pF, so the analog source impedance should be kept below 5 kΩ to avoid gain errors and settling-time issues. Add a 100 Ω series resistor at each AIN pin if the source impedance cannot be reduced further.
