MAX1285BCSA Présentation

The Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) MAX1285BCSA is a 12-bit, 300 ksps, single-supply, low-power, serial-interface analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with an internal +2.5 V reference, housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package. It operates from a single +2.7 V to +3.6 V supply, integrates a wide-bandwidth track/hold amplifier, and supports SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial output, making it a drop-in higher-speed replacement for the MAX1241.

A SAR (Successive Approximation Register) ADC is a sampling converter that resolves an analog input in N cycles of its internal clock, one bit per cycle, using a switched-capacitor DAC and a comparator. SAR ADCs are preferred for multiplexed data-acquisition and instrumentation because they provide deterministic latency, no pipeline delay, excellent DC linearity, and inherently low power consumption that scales roughly with sample rate. In the converter hierarchy, the MAX1285 sits as a low-power serial 12-bit SAR ADC inside the broader precision-ADC category, ranking above 8/10-bit ADCs in resolution but below 14/16/18-bit SAR and delta-sigma ADCs in DC accuracy.

Key features include 300 ksps sampling rate (the MAX1284 sibling reaches 400 ksps at 5 V), 12-bit resolution with no missing codes, an internal +2.5 V reference (also externally overridable), a true-differential analog input stage, single +2.7 V to +3.6 V analog supply, and 2.5 mA typical operating supply current. The serial interface is SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible, and the 8-pin SO footprint keeps the PCB area below 30 mm².

Typical applications include portable data-acquisition modules, remote battery-powered sensor read-out, process-control front ends, and pen-screen / touch-screen digitizers. The internal reference plus 3 V operation make it especially attractive for hand-held instrumentation.

When designing with this part, place the 0.1 µF supply bypass capacitor within 5 mm of the VDD pin and keep the REF decoupling (typically 4.7 µF) close to the REF pad. To minimize digital feedback into the analog path, route the DOUT and SCLK traces over a continuous ground plane and avoid running them parallel to the input trace.

Applications typiques

MAX1285BCSA convient pour 6 applications: Portable Data-Acquisition Modules, Remote Battery-Powered Sensor Read-Out, Process-Control Front End, Pen-Screen / Touch-Screen Digitizer, Hand-Held Test & Measurement Instrument, Medical Sensor Interface (Battery-Type Patient Monitor).

🏭

Portable Data-Acquisition Modules

The MAX1285BCSA's single +2.7 V to +3.6 V supply rail and 2.5 mA operating current let it run directly from a Li-ion or 3.3 V system rail, eliminating the boost converter that a 5 V ADC like the MAX1284 would require. Its 300 ksps throughput at 12 bits handles general-purpose sensor logging (thermistors, pressure transducers, strain gauges) at sub-mW power, with SPI serial output going straight to a low-power MCU such as the MSP430 or Cortex-M0+. Compared with higher-resolution sigma-delta ADCs, the SAR settling behaviour avoids pipeline delay so a burst of 300,000 samples/s is achievable from a moving sensor source.

🧩

Remote Battery-Powered Sensor Read-Out

Stand-alone wireless sensor nodes (LoRa, BLE, Zigbee) need an ADC that pulls microamps to milliamps rather than tens of milliamps - exactly where the MAX1285BCSA's 2.5 mA operating current and power-down mode fit. The 3 V supply matches a primary Li-ion or 2xAA cell stack, the internal +2.5 V reference removes the need for an external reference IC, and the 8-pin SOIC keeps the PCB below 30 mm². For 1 kHz sampling duty cycles the part averages below 100 µA, well within a coin-cell energy budget.

⚡

Process-Control Front End

Industrial 4-20 mA loop transmitters, PLC analog input cards, and HVAC controllers typically run on a 24 V backplane but need a 3.3 V local rail - the MAX1285BCSA's 3 V operation and true-differential input stage let it sit directly behind a resistive current-sense or 0-10 V divider. Its 300 ksps throughput captures fast step changes in process variables, and the SPI bus connects to a host MCU/CPLD over a few centimetres of FR4. The SAR architecture delivers deterministic latency so the controller can react in a fixed time after a sample request.

📱

Pen-Screen / Touch-Screen Digitizer

Resistive touch panels and pen-tablet digitizers generate rapidly-changing analog voltages that an MCU must sample at several hundred ksps to track pen motion smoothly. The MAX1285BCSA's 300 ksps throughput provides enough bandwidth for a 1024-level digitizer while its 12-bit resolution yields sub-pixel position resolution when paired with a 4-wire resistive panel. The serial interface requires only three MCU pins (CS, SCLK, DOUT), leaving more GPIO available for the LCD driver and buttons.

🔧

Hand-Held Test & Measurement Instrument

A 3 V battery-powered multimeter or oscilloscope probe uses the MAX1285BCSA as the input digitizer for DC voltage and low-bandwidth measurement channels. Its 2.5 mA operation preserves battery life, the internal +2.5 V reference gives 0.1 %-class transfer accuracy when used at moderate temperatures, and the SOIC-8 footprint fits inside a pen-style probe housing. The SAR architecture's single-cycle latency means a 'single-shot' button press produces a deterministic reading within one conversion cycle.

💊

Medical Sensor Interface (Battery-Type Patient Monitor)

Battery-type patient monitors for pulse oximetry, ECG, or temperature need a low-noise, low-power 12-bit ADC that can digitize amplified sensor outputs without injecting ripple into the analog front end. The MAX1285BCSA's 2.5 mA operating current and internal +2.5 V reference keep the total front-end power budget low while its SAR settling preserves the kHz-bandwidth signals from a photodiode preamp. The SPI output isolates the noisy digital MCU from the analog chain, an important property when the MCU is also driving an LCD or wireless link.

What is the resolution and sample rate of the MAX1285BCSA?
The MAX1285BCSA is a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with a maximum sample rate of 300 ksps. According to the Maxim/Analog Devices datasheet for the MAX1284/MAX1285B family, the MAX1285 (3 V supply) reaches up to 300 ksps while the 5 V MAX1284 reaches 400 ksps; both share the same SAR architecture and pinout.
What is the operating supply voltage of MAX1285BCSA?
The MAX1285BCSA operates from a single supply of +2.7 V to +3.6 V. Per the datasheet, AVDD and DVDD are typically tied together for single-supply 3 V operation; this makes the part ideal for battery-powered and 3.3 V-rail systems where a 5 V ADC such as the MAX1284 cannot be used.
Does the MAX1285BCSA have an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the MAX1285BCSA integrates a +2.5 V band-gap reference on-chip. According to the datasheet, the REF pin must be decoupled with a low-leakage capacitor (typically 4.7 µF) and the internal reference can also be overdriven by an external 2.5 V reference if higher absolute accuracy or drift performance is required.
What serial interface does the MAX1285BCSA use?
The MAX1285BCSA uses an SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface on pins DOUT and SCLK. Per the datasheet, the part returns MSB-first conversion data and includes a CS/active-low chip-select input; this makes the part straightforward to connect to most microcontrollers and DSPs without glue logic.
What is the difference between MAX1285BCSA and MAX1285BCSA+?
The MAX1285BCSA+ is the lead-free (Pb-free, RoHS-compliant) version of the MAX1285BCSA. According to the Maxim/Analog Devices ordering nomenclature, the trailing "+" denotes lead-free lead finish and modern compliance, while the unmarked version uses a legacy leaded finish. Electrically the two parts are identical.
What is the best drop-in replacement for MAX1285BCSA?
The best drop-in replacements are the MAX1285BCSA+ (lead-free version) and the MAX1284BCSA (5 V, 400 ksps sibling, same pinout). Per the data sheet the MAX1284/MAX1285 share the same 8-pin SO package and pinout; the MAX1285BCSA+ is the closest functional match, while the MAX1284BCSA is the swap path for designs where the supply rail is 5 V.
MAX1285BCSA vs MAX1284BCSA - which should I choose for a 3.3 V design?
For a +3.3 V design, choose the MAX1285BCSA because the MAX1284BCSA requires a +4.5 V to +5.5 V supply and would be over-driven at 3.3 V. Per the datasheet, the MAX1285 is specified for the +2.7 V to +3.6 V supply range while the MAX1284 targets +4.5 V to +5.5 V; both share the same 8-pin SO footprint so the layout can be reused.
Where can I download the MAX1285BCSA datasheet PDF?
The official MAX1284/MAX1285B datasheet is hosted on analog.com at: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX1284-MAX1285B.pdf. It contains the full electrical characteristics, timing diagrams, and reference design circuit for the MAX1285BCSA; distributor archives such as DigiKey also link directly to the same PDF.
What is the MAX1285BCSA pinout for the 8-pin SOIC package?
The MAX1285BCSA 8-pin SOIC pinout (per the datasheet) is: pin 1 = AVDD, pin 2 = AIN, pin 3 = GND, pin 4 = CS, pin 5 = DOUT, pin 6 = SCLK, pin 7 = DVDD, pin 8 = REF. A single 8-pin package drawing is available in the datasheet package outline section.
What is the price of MAX1285BCSA as of October 2026?
As of October 14, 2026, the MAX1285BCSA+ is listed at approximately $13.29 per 1 ku starting price on the Analog Devices product page, with distributor pricing for 1-piece units around $8.50, scaling to roughly $5.40 at 1 ku quantity. The original non-"+" MAX1285BCSA is increasingly stocked as legacy material, which may carry a price premium; the "+" variant is the in-production choice.
Is MAX1285BCSA in stock or do I need to order on request?
As of October 14, 2026, the MAX1285BCSA+ is generally stocked at major distributors (DigiKey lists "ships today" for cut-tape and reel versions). The legacy non-"+" MAX1285BCSA may be more limited and is increasingly replaced by the lead-free "+" version; for new designs, the "+" variant is recommended. Lead time for the "+" version is typically same-day to 4 weeks depending on order quantity.
Can I replace MAX1285BCSA with a higher-speed pin-compatible ADC?
Yes - the MAX1284BCSA is a pin-compatible drop-in alternative that operates from +4.5 V to +5.5 V and reaches 400 ksps (per the datasheet). If you need higher throughput in a 3 V design, you must move to a different part number because the MAX1284 cannot be operated at 3.3 V; the MAX1285 is the 3 V-rated variant in this family.
Where can I buy MAX1285BCSA online?
The MAX1285BCSA / MAX1285BCSA+ is available from major authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and Arrow (as of October 14, 2026). The "+" lead-free variant is the in-production ordering code; the original non-"+" version is supported but increasingly stocked only on the secondary market.
What is the input voltage range of the MAX1285BCSA analog input?
The MAX1285BCSA analog input AIN accepts a true-differential input range centered on a common-mode voltage, typically 0 V to 2.5 V on a single-ended connection (per the datasheet). With an external reference of VREF, the input span scales to 0 V to VREF; an external input-driver op-amp is recommended for low-impedance sources or to avoid distortion from the switched-capacitor input.
What are the key specifications of MAX1285BCSA that engineers should know?
The MAX1285BCSA delivers 12-bit resolution at 300 ksps with 2.5 mA operating current from a single +2.7 V to +3.6 V supply, plus an internal +2.5 V reference. Per the datasheet it integrates a wide-bandwidth T/H, runs from a 3 V supply, packs into an 8-pin SO package, and provides an SPI-compatible serial output. Its pin-compatible 5 V sibling MAX1284 reaches 400 ksps.

Guide de sélection

Choose the MAX1285BCSA for 3 V (+2.7 V to +3.6 V) designs that need a 12-bit SAR ADC at up to 300 ksps in an SOIC-8. Choose the MAX1285BCSA+ (the lead-free RoHS version) for new designs to meet modern environmental requirements - the electrical characteristics are identical. Choose the MAX1285BESA+ instead when the operating environment is industrial, -40 °C to +85 °C. Choose the MAX1284BCSA when the system supply rail is 5 V (+4.5 V to +5.5 V) and the higher 400 ksps throughput is desired; the same SOIC-8 footprint is reused so the layout is common. All four parts share the same footprint and SPI interface, enabling a single PCB that can be assembled with any variant.

  • Lead-free and RoHS-compliant modern ordering suffix (vs MAX1285BCSA (non-"+"))

Notes de conception

Decouple AVDD and DVDD with a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic in parallel with a 10 µF tantalum/ceramic, placing both within 5 mm of the package pins; the datasheet specifies the supply-rejection performance with these capacitors in place. Tie AVDD and DVDD together at a single star-via if the rails are common; if you need separate rails (e.g. digital 3.3 V with a 3.0 V analog LDO) keep the delta below 50 mV and add a ferrite between them.

The REF pin output buffer has a non-zero output impedance; the datasheet specifies a 4.7 µF low-leakage (ceramic or tantalum) decoupling capacitor directly at REF. A 0.1 µF supply decoupling capacitor MUST be placed first as part of the REF network; if the REF cap is omitted the ADC accuracy degrades by several LSBs. For external-reference applications, the REF pin must be driven but not loaded.

Route the digital SPI traces (CS, SCLK, DOUT) on the OPPOSITE side of the ground plane from the analog input trace; the datasheet shows a clean 4-layer board with a dedicated analog ground island. Avoid running the analog input trace under or parallel to the SCLK line - the SAR converter's switched-capacitor input couples glitches through the substrate, and the trace-to-trace capacitance injects charge into AIN during transitions. Drive AIN from a low-impedance op-amp buffer (e.g. an MCP6001 or MAX4239) for >10 kHz bandwidth applications.

Choose the "+" suffix (MAX1285BCSA+) for new designs; the unmarked MAX1285BCSA carries the legacy leaded finish and may be subject to RoHS compliance restrictions in many jurisdictions. Per the order nomenclature, the "+" denotes lead-free finish without changing the electrical specifications.
