_____________________________________________________________Pin Description
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1–8 CH0–CH7 Sampling Analog Inputs
9 V
SS
Negative Supply Voltage. Connect to -5V ±5% or AGND
10 SHDN
Three-Level Shutdown Input. Pulling SHDN low shuts the MAX186/MAX188 down to 10μA (max)
supply current, otherwise the MAX186/MAX188 are fully operational. Pulling SHDN high puts the
reference-buffer amplifier in internal compensation mode. Leaving SHDN unconnected puts the
reference-buffer amplifier in external compensation mode.
11 VREF
Reference Voltage for analog-to-digital conversion. Also, output of the reference buffer amplifier
(4.096V in the MAX186, 1.638 x REFADJ in the MAX188). Add a 4.7μF capacitor to ground when
using external compensation mode. Also functions as an input when used with a precision external
