MAX182AEPI+

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The MAX182AEPI+ is a calibrated, 4-channel, 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It utilizes Successive Approximation Register (SAR) architecture and supports single-ended inputs with a sampling rate of 17 kS/s. The device features a parallel interface and operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is housed in a 28-pin SOIC-Wide package and requires external or internal reference voltages, typically around 5V for analog supplies.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Calibrated 12-bit resolution with 4 single-ended input channels
• SAR architecture supporting up to 17 kS/s sampling rate
• Parallel digital interface for data output
• Extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C)

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring multi-channel signal acquisition
• Data acquisition systems for sensor interfacing
• Precision measurement equipment utilizing single-ended voltage inputs

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPI+' against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Check availability through authorized distributors as stock levels vary. Ensure the parallel interface requirements match the host system design.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-bit resolution with multiple single-ended channels is required at moderate speeds. Compare against the MAX182A series variants for package differences (PDIP vs. SOIC). Verify that the parallel interface compatibility exists with the target microcontroller or DSP. Consider power dissipation limits within the SOIC-Wide-28 package for thermal management.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX182A family of precision ADCs from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. It shares architectural similarities with other SAR-based converters in the portfolio but is distinguished by its 4-channel capability and parallel interface. It serves as a bridge between analog sensor signals and digital processing units in industrial applications.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the MAX182ACPI+ (PDIP package) or MAX182AEWI+ (SOIC-Wide package). Verify that the replacement maintains the same 12-bit resolution, 17 kS/s speed, and parallel interface configuration.
