MAX180ACPL+

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX180ACPL+ is a precision analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features an 8-channel multiplexer and utilizes a successive approximation architecture with 12-bit resolution. The device supports a maximum sampling rate of 100 ksps, corresponding to a conversion time of 10 µs. It operates within a dual-supply configuration, typically utilizing a nominal negative supply voltage of -12 V, while accommodating analog input signals ranging from -2.5 V to +2.5 V. The component is housed in a 40-lead plastic DIP package.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• 12-bit resolution with 8 multiplexed analog input channels
• Successive approximation ADC architecture supporting up to 100 ksps sampling rate
• Low maximum linear error of 0.0244% for high precision applications
• Dual-supply operation compatible with ±12 V negative rail requirements

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Applications

• Data acquisition systems requiring multi-channel signal conditioning
• Industrial process control instrumentation
• Precision measurement equipment

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status carefully, as the base MAX180 series often carries non-compliant markings despite the '+' suffix convention. Confirm lead-free plating specifications directly against the manufacturer's current datasheet revision. Ensure the specific ACPL+ variant matches the required temperature grade and packaging format for the target design.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require simultaneous monitoring of multiple low-voltage analog signals with moderate speed requirements. The 10 µs conversion time suits applications where throughput needs do not exceed 100 ksps per channel. Verify that the system power supply can provide the necessary negative voltage rail, as the device is optimized for dual-supply environments rather than single-supply logic levels.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX180 family of precision data acquisition converters. The 'A' suffix indicates an extended or specific industrial temperature range compared to commercial variants. The 'CPL' designation specifies the 40-lead plastic DIP package type. The '+' suffix generally denotes lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing, though verification against official documentation is required due to historical inconsistencies in Maxim product labeling.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the MAX180CCPL+. Engineers should verify if the temperature rating and exact linearity specifications of the substitute meet the original design constraints before swapping components.
