2.7V to 3.6V and 4.5V to 5.5V, Low-Power,
4-/12-Channel 2-Wire Serial 8-Bit ADCs
General Description
The MAX1036–MAX1039 low-power, 8-bit, multichannel,
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) feature internal
track/hold (T/H), voltage reference, clock, and an
I
2
C-compatible 2-wire serial interface. These devices
operate from a single supply and require only 350µA at
the maximum sampling rate of 188ksps. Auto-
Shutdown™ powers down the devices between conver-
sions reducing supply current to less than 1µA at low
throughput rates. The MAX1036/MAX1037 have four ana-
log input channels each, while the MAX1038/MAX1039
have twelve analog input channels. The analog inputs are
software configurable for unipolar or bipolar and single-
ended or pseudo-differential operation.
The full-scale analog input range is determined by the
internal reference or by an externally applied reference
voltage ranging from 1V to V
DD
. The MAX1037/
MAX1039 feature a 2.048V internal reference and the
MAX1036/MAX1038 feature a 4.096V internal reference.
The MAX1036/MAX1037 are available in 8-pin SOT23
packages. The MAX1038/MAX1039 are available in 16-
pin QSOP packages. The MAX1036–MAX1039 are guar-
anteed over the extended industrial temperature range
(-40°C to +85°C). Refer to MAX1136–MAX1139 for 10-bit
devices and to the MAX1236–MAX1239 for 12-bit
devices.

MAX1036–MAX1039
Note 1:
The MAX1036/MAX1038 are tested at V
DD
= 5V and the MAX1037/MAX1039 are tested at V
DD
= 3V. All devices are config-
ured for unipolar, single-ended inputs.
Note 2:
Relative accuracy is the deviation of the analog value at any code from its theoretical value after the full-scale range and
offsets have been calibrated.
Note 3:
Offset nulled.
Note 4:
Ground on channel; sine wave applied to all off channels.
Note 5:
Conversion time is defined as the number of clock cycles (8) multiplied by the clock period. Conversion time does not
include acquisition time. SCL is the conversion clock in the external clock mode.
Note 6:
The absolute voltage range for the analog inputs (AIN0–AIN11) is from GND to V
DD
.
Note 7:
When AIN_/REF is configured to be an internal reference (SEL[2:1] = 11), decouple AIN_/REF to GND with a 0.01µF capacitor.
Note 8:
The switch connecting the reference buffer to AIN_/REF has a typical on-resistance of 675Ω.
Note 9:
ADC performance is limited by the converter’s noise floor, typically 1.4mV
P-P
.
Note 10:
Electrical characteristics are guaranteed from V
DD(min)
to V
DD(max)
. For operation beyond this range, see the
Typical
Operating Characteristics.
