Product details
Overview
MAX1132BCAP+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit, 200ksps successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated +4.096V reference, input scaling network, and track/hold circuitry. It operates from a single +4.75V to +5.25V supply, accepts ±12V bipolar or 0–+12V unipolar inputs, and delivers ≥85dB SINAD at 5kHz with 1.5LSB INL (guaranteed ±2.5LSB). It targets high-precision industrial process control and medical instrumentation requiring stable DC accuracy and dynamic performance.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1132BCAP+ datasheet, MAX1132BCAP+ pinout, MAX1132BCAP+ application, or MAX1132BCAP+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed application use cases, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all grounded in the official MAX1132/MAX1133 datasheet Rev 0 (8/01).
Technical Context
The MAX1132BCAP+ uses a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with internal track/hold and software-configurable unipolar/bipolar input ranges. Its input scaler maps ±12V signals to the internal DAC range while operating from a single 5V supply, eliminating need for external level-shifting circuitry.
It supports three clock modes: internal conversion clock (freeing MCU resources), external serial clock (SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible), or on-demand calibration clock. Conversion timing is precisely controlled via SSTRB strobe output, enabling direct interfacing with TMS320 DSPs and deterministic data capture.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full input range. |
| Sampling Rate | 200ksps (bipolar mode) - supports Nyquist-limited acquisition of signals up to 100kHz without aliasing. |
| INL | ±2.5 LSB (max) - ensures ≤0.0038% full-scale linearity error for precision DC measurements. |
| SINAD | ≥85 dB at 5kHz - enables >13.9 effective bits (ENOB) for low-noise signal digitization. |
| Reference | +4.096V internal bandgap (±40mV tolerance) - provides stable, temperature-compensated scaling for ratiometric or absolute measurements. |
| Supply Current | 7.5mA (unipolar), 8.5–11mA (bipolar) - balances speed and power for battery-aware or thermally constrained designs. |
| Shutdown Current | 2.5µA - allows rapid power gating between conversions to extend system battery life. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1132BCAP+ is housed in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, footprint compatible with standard SSOP reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN | Analog Input | Accepts ±12V bipolar or 0–+12V unipolar signals; includes ±16.5V fault protection active even during shutdown. |
| REF | Reference Output/Input | Delivers +4.096V internal reference or accepts external 3.0–4.2V reference when REFADJ = AVDD. |
| REFADJ | Bandgap Reference Adjust | Enables fine-tuning of internal reference voltage; tied to AVDD to disable buffer for external reference use. |
| P0–P2 | User-Programmable Outputs | CMOS push-pull outputs controlled by Control Byte bits 0–2; used to drive 8-channel muxes or PGAs without external logic. |
| SSTRB | Serial Strobe Output | Signals conversion start/end: low pulse in internal clock mode; one-cycle high pulse before MSB in external clock mode - synchronizes TMS320 DSP reads. |
| DOUT/DIN/SCLK/CS | SPI-Compatible Serial Interface | Full-duplex 3-wire interface (DIN/DOUT/SCLK) with chip select; requires no level shifters for 5V µP systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-selectable input range | Single Control Byte bit (UNI/BIP) switches between ±12V and 0–+12V operation - eliminates hardware jumpers or external gain-switching circuitry. |
| On-demand calibration | Internal circuitry corrects offset, gain, INL, and DNL errors via software command - maintains accuracy across temperature and supply drift without external equipment. |
| Three programmable logic outputs | P0–P2 pins directly control external signal conditioning components (e.g., 8:1 mux, PGA) - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete GPIO expanders. |
| Internal track/hold + scaler | Eliminates need for external op-amp front-end or level-shifter ICs when digitizing ±12V signals from a 5V-only system - simplifies analog signal chain design. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | 2.5µA quiescent current with fast wake-up - enables duty-cycled sampling in portable or energy-harvested sensor nodes. |
Applications
| Industrial Process Control | Medical Instrumentation |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SPI-compatible ADC providing deterministic conversion timing via SSTRB, enabling precise timestamping of analog events. Use Value: Internal clock mode decouples conversion timing from host CPU clock - prevents jitter-induced spectral smearing in FFT-based analysis. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted I/O modules converting 4–20mA loop signals and thermocouple outputs in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision ADC with programmable P0–P2 outputs controlling external multiplexers to scan 8 analog channels per device.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1MSPS, external reference only, no internal scaler; requires ±12V signal conditioning externally. | Better speed but lacks ±12V direct input support - needs op-amp front-end for same sensor types. | Select when sampling rate >200ksps is required and analog front-end redesign is acceptable. |
| AD7682BRMZ | 16-bit, 250ksps, internal reference (4.096V), no input scaler; max input ±5.5V (unbuffered) or ±10V (with external driver). | Higher speed and lower power (1.6mA), but cannot accept ±12V directly - requires external amplifier for full-scale industrial sensors. | Select when lower supply current is critical and input range can be limited to ±10V with external buffering. |
Compared with ADS8860IDRCT and AD7682BRMZ, MAX1132BCAP+ uniquely integrates ±12V input scaling, internal reference, and programmable logic outputs in a single 20-pin SSOP - reducing total solution size and bill-of-materials cost for industrial sensor interface applications where direct high-voltage digitization is required.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the MAX1132BCAP+ support?
The MAX1132BCAP+ supports 0 to +12V (unipolar) and ±12V (bipolar) analog input ranges. This is enabled by its internal input scaling network, which allows direct digitization of industrial sensor outputs without external op-amps or level shifters. The input protection circuitry remains active even during shutdown, tolerating up to ±16.5V fault conditions.
Does the MAX1132BCAP+ require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX1132BCAP+ includes an internal +4.096V bandgap reference with ±40mV initial accuracy and ±20ppm/°C tempco. An external reference can be used by disabling the internal buffer via REFADJ, but it is not required. The internal reference eliminates need for external reference ICs in most precision applications.
How does the MAX1132BCAP+ handle calibration?
The MAX1132BCAP+ features on-demand software calibration that corrects offset, gain, INL, and DNL errors. Calibration is initiated by writing a Control Byte with M1=0 and M0=1. It must be performed after power-up, reset, or significant ambient temperature change (>10°C) to maintain specified accuracy.
What is the function of the P0, P1, and P2 pins on the MAX1132BCAP+?
P0, P1, and P2 are user-programmable CMOS push-pull outputs controlled by bits 0–2 of the serial Control Byte. They retain their state during hardware/software shutdown and are commonly used to control external 8-channel analog multiplexers or programmable gain amplifiers - eliminating need for additional GPIO expanders.
Can the MAX1132BCAP+ interface directly with TMS320 DSPs?
Yes, the MAX1132BCAP+ includes a dedicated serial strobe output (SSTRB) designed for direct connection to TMS320 family DSPs. In internal clock mode, SSTRB goes low at conversion start and high at completion; in external clock mode, it pulses high before MSB output - enabling precise, hardware-synchronized data capture without polling.
