MAX167CENG

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The MAX167CENG is a single-channel, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter. It features an internal track-and-hold circuit and reference, operating with a sampling rate of 100 kS/s. The device utilizes a parallel CMOS interface for data output and accepts single-ended inputs. It supports a 5V digital supply and analog supplies ranging from -12V to -15V. Packaged in a 24-pin PDIP, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-speed track-and-hold amplifier and precision voltage reference on-chip
• Provides 12-bit resolution with low differential and integral nonlinearity specifications
• Features a simple parallel CMOS interface for direct connection to microprocessors

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring isolated signal acquisition

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to obsolete status. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment upon receipt. Review datasheet electrical characteristics against system requirements. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed during installation. Validate supplier documentation for compliance with RoHS standards.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Evaluate the trade-off between the 100 kS/s sampling rate and system bandwidth requirements. Consider the single-ended input configuration limitations compared to differential alternatives. Assess the power supply complexity required for negative voltage generation. Compare the PDIP package size against available surface-mount options like the MAX167CCWG+.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX167C family of monolithic ADCs designed by Maxim Integrated. It represents a legacy solution for applications needing moderate speed and high accuracy without external components. The series was widely used before the transition to more integrated mixed-signal solutions.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The MAX167CCWG+ offers a similar specification set in a SOIC-24 surface-mount package. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance differences when transitioning from the through-hole PDIP format.
