MAX11339ATJ+T Overview
What is a SAR ADC? A successive approximation register ADC is a type of analog-to-digital converter that uses an iterative binary-search algorithm against an internal or external DAC to convert an analog input into a digital code. SAR ADCs deliver deterministic latency, no pipeline delay, and excellent DC accuracy, placing them in the hierarchy: SAR ADC -> ADC -> data converter -> mixed-signal IC. The MAX11339 family integrates an analog input multiplexer and track-and-hold, allowing one ADC core to sequentially sample many channels while preserving full sample-rate performance per channel.
Key features include an integrated 4 or 8 input multiplexer, dedicated track-and-hold amplifier with 1:1 MUX:S&H:ADC ratio, SPI / DSP-compatible digital interface, and access to the post-mux analog front end for external signal conditioning such as programmable gain or filtering. The wide input range spans the analog supply rails, and the reference voltage is supplied externally to allow full-scale input scaling to match sensor or signal levels.
Typical applications include industrial process control loops, multichannel data acquisition systems, automotive sensor monitoring, and embedded instrumentation front ends. The deterministic conversion latency also makes the part well suited to closed-loop control systems where predictable timing is required.
When designing the input chain, place an RC anti-aliasing filter on each channel as close to the input pin as possible, and bypass the analog and digital supplies with 100 nF plus 10 uF ceramic capacitors. Drive the inputs through a low-impedance buffer if the source impedance exceeds 1 kohm to avoid conversion errors caused by incomplete settling of the internal S&H.

Typical Applications
MAX11339ATJ+T is suitable for 6 applications: Industrial Process Control Loops, Automotive Sensor Monitoring, Multichannel Data Acquisition Systems, Medical Monitoring Front Ends, Embedded Instrumentation, Power Management and Battery Monitoring.
Industrial Process Control Loops
The MAX11339ATJ+T is well suited to industrial process control loops requiring multi-channel analog monitoring with deterministic conversion latency. Its 500 ksps sample rate combined with 8 input channels allows simultaneous reading of pressure, temperature, flow, and level transmitters at update rates exceeding 10 kHz per channel. The SAR architecture provides no pipeline delay, enabling tight feedback loop closures critical for valve and actuator control. The SPI / DSP-compatible interface simplifies integration with industrial DSPs and microcontrollers, while the external reference allows scaling for 4-20 mA current loop receivers or 0-10 V transducer outputs.
Recommended
Automotive Sensor Monitoring
The MAX11339ATJ+T's automotive temperature grade (-40 C to +125 C) qualifies it for vehicle sensor monitoring applications including battery management, HVAC temperature sensing, and body-control analog inputs. The 8-channel mux supports multi-sensor scanning with one ADC, while the 10-bit resolution meets the precision needs of position, current, and thermal sensors. The SAR architecture's deterministic latency enables hard-real-time engine and chassis control loops, and the 32-TQFN package with exposed thermal pad withstands automotive vibration and thermal stress. The SPI interface connects directly to automotive MCUs and DSPs without glue logic.
Recommended
Multichannel Data Acquisition Systems
The MAX11339ATJ+T is ideal for portable and benchtop data acquisition systems requiring simultaneous sampling of multiple analog sources. Its 500 ksps throughput and 8 input channels support scan rates above 60 kHz per channel, fast enough for vibration analysis, audio-bandwidth instrumentation, and scientific data logging. The external reference accommodates high-precision voltage references (such as the MAX6126) for laboratory-grade absolute accuracy, while the SAR architecture ensures the low-latency response required for trigger and event-capture applications. The TQFN-32 5x5 mm footprint simplifies integration into compact DAQ module designs.
Recommended
Medical Monitoring Front Ends
The MAX11339ATJ+T serves multi-parameter patient monitoring equipment by digitizing biosignal channels including ECG, SpO2, respiration, and body temperature with its 8 single-ended or differential analog inputs. The 10-bit resolution and 500 ksps sample rate comfortably cover audio-bandwidth ECG bandwidths (typically 0.05-150 Hz after DSP decimation), while the SAR architecture's deterministic latency prevents timing artifacts in synchronized multi-channel recordings. The low-power design extends battery life in portable patient monitors, and the post-mux external conditioning access permits insertion of patient-protection and gain stages between the multiplexer output and the ADC input.
Recommended
Embedded Instrumentation
The MAX11339ATJ+T fits embedded instrumentation front ends such as oscilloscope-like probes, programmable logic controllers, and industrial test equipment requiring multi-channel analog capture at deterministic sample timing. Its SPI interface supports high-speed data transfer to FPGAs and microcontrollers, while the SAR architecture's lack of pipeline delay suits real-time triggering and synchronous sampling use cases. The external reference permits calibration scaling in test-and-measurement applications, and the automotive temperature grade plus small TQFN package supports deployment in confined enclosures. Pre-conditioning is straightforward given post-mux external conditioning access.
Recommended
Power Management and Battery Monitoring
The MAX11339ATJ+T is a good fit for battery management systems that need to monitor multiple cell voltages, pack currents, and temperatures in series-stack battery packs. The 8-channel differential input mode allows direct measurement across stacked battery cells with ground-referenced common-mode handling, while the 500 ksps rate supports fast over-current and short-circuit detection. The SPI interface connects to battery management MCUs and DSPs, and the SAR architecture provides deterministic latency required for synchronous cell balancing. The automotive-grade temperature rating suits EV and industrial energy storage deployments.

Key Differentiators
- Highest sample rate in the 10-bit 8-channel TQFN-32 family (vs MAX11321ATJ+T)
- 10-bit resolution for lower-cost applications where 12 bits are not required (vs MAX11340ATJ+T)
- Post-mux external signal conditioning access (vs MAX11164ETC+T)
Design Notes
Place the input anti-aliasing RC network (typically 10 ohm to 100 ohm and a few nF of capacitance) as close to each analog input pin as possible to limit induced noise pickup. The exposed thermal pad on the TQFN-32 package must be soldered to a continuous ground plane on the top or bottom PCB layer for thermal dissipation and low-impedance ground return.
Separate the analog and digital ground planes and join them at a single point beneath or near the ADC. Route digital lines (SCLK, DOUT, DIN, CS) away from the analog input traces and bypass capacitor returns, and keep the analog supply trace short and wide to minimize IR drop. Add 100 nF plus 10 uF ceramic bypass capacitors directly on the AVDD and DVDD pins.
If the source impedance of the analog signal exceeds approximately 1 kohm, the internal track-and-hold may not fully settle within the acquisition window, causing conversion errors. Either reduce the source impedance with a buffer amplifier or increase the acquisition time by reducing the sample rate. Validate that the external reference voltage stays within the device's specified range under load.
Compliance Information
