Product details
Overview
MAX1156BCUP from Maxim Integrated is a 14-bit, 135ksps successive-approximation ADC with unipolar 0 to +10V analog input range, single +4.75V to +5.25V analog supply, and byte-wide parallel interface. It features ±1LSB INL (max), ±1LSB DNL (max), and AutoShutdown™ reducing current to 0.4mA (typ) at 10ksps - ideal for battery-powered industrial data-acquisition systems requiring high DC accuracy and low power.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1156BCUP datasheet, MAX1156BCUP pinout, MAX1156BCUP application, or MAX1156BCUP equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, confirmed package mapping to 20-pin TSSOP, and validated alternative options for precision analog-to-digital conversion in temperature monitoring and process control.
Technical Context
The MAX1156BCUP implements a SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold and factory-trimmed internal +4.096V reference. Its input scaler enables true 0 to +10V unipolar operation from a single +5V analog supply, eliminating need for external level-shifting circuitry.
Conversion is controlled via three CS falling edges: first powers up and initiates acquisition, second starts conversion, third loads 14-bit result onto D0–D13 bus. HBEN toggles between high/low byte output, with D13 as MSB and D0 as LSB - supporting microprocessor interfacing without glue logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - delivers 16,384 distinct digital codes over full-scale range. |
| Sampling Rate | 135ksps maximum - supports real-time capture of signals up to ~67kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 to +10V unipolar - matches industrial sensor outputs (e.g., 4–20mA transmitters with 250Ω shunt). |
| INL / DNL | ±1LSB (max) - ensures monotonicity and <0.006% full-scale linearity error for calibration-critical applications. |
| Supply Current | 2.9mA (ext ref, 135ksps) - enables >300hr runtime on a 1Ah Li-ion battery in continuous sampling mode. |
| AutoShutdown Current | 0.4mA (typ) at 10ksps - reduces average power by >90% during idle intervals in burst-mode DAQ. |
| THD | –100dB (typ) - preserves signal fidelity for precision instrumentation and medical-grade measurements. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1156BCUP is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm pitch, optimized for compact industrial PCB layouts and compatible with standard reflow profiles. Thermal pad is not present; JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 17–20 (D0–D7/D8–D13) | Three-state parallel data output | D0 = LSB, D13 = MSB; HBEN selects high/low byte - enables direct µP bus connection without latching logic. |
| 5 (R/C) | Read/Convert control input | Configures standby vs. shutdown mode on second CS edge; controls reference power state for wake-up timing management. |
| 6 (EOC) | End-of-conversion flag | Active-low signal indicates valid data ready - synchronizes µP read cycle without polling overhead. |
| 7 (AVDD), 8 & 10 (AGND) | Analog power and ground | Separate analog rail and dual AGND pins require star grounding near device to minimize noise coupling into SAR core. |
| 9 (AIN) | Analog input terminal | Accepts 0 to +10V unipolar signal; internal scaler handles attenuation/level-shift - no external op-amp required for basic use. |
| 11 (REFADJ), 12 (REF) | Reference buffer control/output | REFADJ = 0.1µF bypass to AGND for internal ref; connect REFADJ to AVDD to disable buffer and use external 3.8–4.2V reference. |
| 13 (HBEN) | High-byte enable | Logic-high presents D8–D13 on bus; logic-low presents D0–D7 - supports 8-bit data bus interfaces with byte multiplexing. |
| 14 (CS) | Convert start command | Three-edge sequence (acquire → convert → output) eliminates need for external timing generator or clock distribution. |
| 15 (DGND), 16 (DVDD) | Digital power and ground | DVDD supports +2.7V to +5.25V logic - allows direct interface with 3.3V or 5V µPs without level translators. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Byte-wide parallel interface | 14-bit result delivered across D0–D13 with HBEN-controlled byte multiplexing - eliminates serial-to-parallel conversion latency. |
| Single-supply operation | +4.75V to +5.25V AVDD powers both analog core and internal reference - removes need for dual-rail supplies in portable systems. |
| Factory-trimmed internal reference | +4.096V ±0.98% (4.056V to 4.136V) with ±35ppm/°C tempco - enables absolute accuracy without external precision reference ICs. |
| AutoShutdown™ mode | Reduces total supply current to 0.4mA (typ) at 10ksps - extends battery life while maintaining fast wake-up (<12ms) for event-triggered sampling. |
| Input scaler architecture | Supports 0 to +10V input directly from +5V supply - avoids external resistive dividers that degrade SNR and introduce thermal drift errors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit resolution, SPI interface, no internal reference - requires external 4.096V ref and level-shifting for 3.3V µPs. | Better resolution but higher power (8.5mW @ 100ksps); lacks AutoShutdown and unipolar 0–10V native support. | Choose when 16-bit precision outweighs board space, power, and interface complexity trade-offs. |
| AD7940BRMZ | 14-bit, 100ksps, SPI interface, internal 2.5V ref - needs external op-amp for 0–10V scaling and level translation. | Lower sampling rate and fixed 2.5V reference limit dynamic range; no byte-multiplexed parallel output. | Prefer for cost-sensitive designs where SPI compatibility and smaller footprint offset loss of native 0–10V range. |
Compared with ADS8325IPW and AD7940BRMZ, the MAX1156BCUP uniquely combines native 0–10V unipolar input, byte-wide parallel interface, factory-trimmed 4.096V reference, and AutoShutdown - reducing BOM count, layout area, and firmware overhead in industrial DAQ.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX1156BCUP?
The MAX1156BCUP is specified for the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. This rating is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the datasheet. The 'B' grade denotes ±2LSB INL performance across this range, making it suitable for indoor industrial environments and non-automotive embedded systems where ambient temperatures remain within these limits. The MAX1156BCUP does not support extended –40°C to +85°C operation - that capability is reserved for 'E' grade variants like MAX1156BEUP.
Does the MAX1156BCUP include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the MAX1156BCUP integrates a factory-trimmed +4.096V internal reference with ±0.98% initial accuracy (4.056V to 4.136V) and ±35ppm/°C temperature coefficient. This reference is buffered and available at the REF pin, requiring only a 10µF capacitor to AGND for stability. REFADJ provides adjustment capability via external resistor networks, and connecting REFADJ to AVDD disables the internal buffer to allow external reference injection - giving designers flexibility without adding discrete reference ICs.
How does the AutoShutdown™ feature work on the MAX1156BCUP?
The MAX1156BCUP enters AutoShutdown™ mode automatically after conversion when the R/C pin is driven high during the second falling edge of CS. In this state, the internal reference and buffer are powered down, reducing total supply current to 0.4mA (typ) at 10ksps. Wake-up requires ≥12ms for reference stabilization before the next valid conversion - a timing constraint explicitly defined in the Applications Information section. This behavior is distinct from standby mode (R/C low), where reference remains active for faster turn-on.
What is the analog input impedance of the MAX1156BCUP?
The MAX1156BCUP exhibits a nominal analog input resistance (RAIN) of 5.3kΩ in normal operation and 3.0kΩ in shutdown mode, as measured under 0 ≤ VAIN ≤ +10V conditions. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects the effective impedance seen by the driving source due to internal scaling network and ESD protection structures. Designers must account for this loading effect when selecting input buffer amplifiers - especially for high-impedance sources like thermistors or piezoelectric sensors - to avoid gain error and settling-time degradation.
Can the MAX1156BCUP interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes, the MAX1156BCUP supports direct interface with 3.3V microcontrollers via its DVDD pin, which accepts +2.7V to +5.25V digital supply voltage. Logic thresholds (VIH = 0.7×DVDD, VIL = 0.3×DVDD) and output drive strength (VOH = DVDD – 0.4V, VOL = 0.4V) are fully compatible with 3.3V CMOS levels. No level-shifting circuitry is required - the parallel D0–D13 outputs, CS, R/C, HBEN, and EOC signals operate natively at 3.3V logic when DVDD = 3.3V, simplifying host processor integration.
