MyMaxim SubscriptionsProduct Details
Successive-approximation conversions are performed using either the internal clock or an external serial-interface clock. The full-scale analog input range is determined by the 2.048V internal reference, or by an externally applied reference ranging from 1V to VDD. The 4-wire serial interface is compatible with the SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™ serial-interface standards. A serial-strobe output provides the end-of-conversion signal for interrupt-driven processors.
The MAX1110/MAX1111 have a software-programmable, 2µA automatic power-down mode to minimize power consumption. Using power-down, the supply current is reduced to 6µA at 1ksps, and only 52µA at 10ksps. Power-down can also be controlled using the active-low SHDN input pin. Accessing the serial interface automatically powers up the device.
The MAX1110 is available in a 20-pin SSOP package. The MAX1111 is available in a small 16-pin QSOP package.

Description
The MAX1110 evaluation system (EV system) is a complete, 8-channel data-acquisition system consisting of a MAX1110 evaluation kit (EV kit) and a Maxim 3V 68L11D microcontroller (µC) module. It is designed to evaluate the MAX1110, a low power, +3V, 8-channel, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with an internal 2.048V reference that directly interfaces to 3V microprocessors. Windows® 3.1/Windows 95 software provides a handy user interface to exercise the MAX1110's features.
The EV system is intended for comprehensive evaluation of the MAX1110 using a personal computer. Order the stand-alone EV kit if the 68L11D µC module has already been purchased with a previous Maxim EV system, or for custom use in other µC-based systems.
The MAX1110 EV kit and EV system can also be used to evaluate the MAX1112, which operates on +5V and has a 4.096V internal reference. Simply order a free sample of the MAX1112CPP along with the MAX1110 EV kit.
Features
- Proven PC Board Layout
- Complete Evaluation System Samples to 5ksps
- Convenient Test Points Provided on Board
- Data-Logging Software
- Fully Assembled and Tested
