MAX176BCPA

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The MAX176BCPA+ is a 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a single-ended input and an internal reference voltage, operating with a sampling rate of 250 kSPS. The device utilizes an SPI-compatible digital interface for data output. Power requirements include a 5V supply for both analog and digital sections, alongside dual supplies ranging from -12V to -15V. It is housed in an 8-PDIP package designed for through-hole mounting and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Integrates a sample-and-hold circuit with a 1:1 ratio relative to the ADC core for accurate signal capture.
• Incorporates an internal reference voltage source to simplify external component requirements.
• Supports serial communication via a standard SPI interface for straightforward microcontroller integration.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring moderate resolution data acquisition.
• Battery-powered instrumentation utilizing low-power SAR architecture.
• Portable measurement devices needing compact 8-pin packaging solutions.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variations such as BEPA or BCPA may indicate different temperature grades or package types. Confirm RoHS compliance status for current production units. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets matching the exact part number to validate pinout and electrical specifications before procurement.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, 12-bit resolution is sufficient for the application. Consider the 250 kSPS speed limit against system bandwidth requirements. Verify that the available power supplies match the specified 5V and negative rail ranges. Evaluate the 8-DIP package constraints against PCB layout space availability.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX176B series of high-speed, low-power ADCs. It shares architectural similarities with other Maxim integrated ADCs but is distinct in its specific pin configuration and performance metrics. The series targets applications balancing cost, size, and conversion accuracy without requiring external references or complex timing circuits.
