General Description
The MAX1115/MAX1116 low-power, 8-bit, analog-todigital converters (ADCs) feature an internal track/hold
(T/H), voltage reference, VDDmonitor, clock, and serial
interface. The MAX1115 is specified from +2.7V to
+5.5V, and the MAX1116 is specified from +4.5V to
+5.5V. Both parts consume only 175µA at 100ksps.
The full-scale analog input range is determined by the
internal reference of +2.048V (MAX1115) or +4.096V
(MAX1116). The MAX1115/MAX1116 also feature
AutoShutdown™ power-down mode which reduces
power consumption to <1µA when the device is not in
use. The 3-wire serial interface directly connects to
SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™ devices without
external logic. Conversions up to 100ksps are performed using an internal clock.
The MAX1115/MAX1116 are available in an 8-pin
SOT23 package with a footprint that is just 30% of an 8pin SO.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
