Product details
Overview
MAX1174BCUP+ from Maxim Integrated is a 14-bit, 135ksps successive-approximation ADC with ±5V bipolar analog input range, single +4.75V to +5.25V analog supply, and byte-wide parallel interface. It features factory-trimmed internal +4.096V reference, ±1LSB INL (max), and AutoShutdown™ reducing current to 0.5µA (typ) between conversions - ideal for precision industrial data-acquisition systems requiring low power and high DC accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1174BCUP+ datasheet, MAX1174BCUP+ pinout, MAX1174BCUP+ application, or MAX1174BCUP+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5V input range compatibility, TSSOP-20 package footprint, 4.7µs max conversion time, and support for both internal/external reference configurations in battery-powered or space-constrained instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The MAX1174BCUP+ implements a SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold and input scaler enabling true ±5V bipolar operation from a single +5V analog supply. Its internal +4.096V reference is buffered and adjustable via REFADJ, with 35ppm/°C tempco and 4.056V–4.136V output tolerance.
Power management is controlled via R/C pin sequencing across CS falling edges: second edge selects standby (reference on, 3.7mA typ) or shutdown (reference off, 0.5µA typ); third edge enables data readout. HBEN toggles D0–D7 (low byte) or D8–D13 (high byte) on the parallel bus, with D13 as MSB and D0 as LSB.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit resolution, SPI interface, 100ksps, single +3V supply, no internal reference | Higher resolution but serial interface increases MCU overhead; requires external reference and level-shifting for ±5V inputs | Choose for higher precision where SPI is acceptable and external reference is already present |
| AD7940BRMZ | 14-bit, 100ksps, SPI interface, ±10V input range, internal reference, +5V supply | Wider input range but slower sampling; lacks byte-wide parallel interface and AutoShutdown™ | Choose when ±10V range is required and microcontroller has SPI resources but limited GPIO |
Compared with ADS8860IDRCT and AD7940BRMZ, the MAX1174BCUP+ uniquely combines ±5V bipolar input, byte-wide parallel interface, and sub-µA shutdown current - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, low-power, microcontroller-based DAQ systems needing rapid parallel data access without external reference components.

FAQ
What is the analog input voltage range supported by the MAX1174BCUP+?
The MAX1174BCUP+ supports a ±5V bipolar analog input voltage range. This allows direct connection to sensors and transducers with symmetric output swings without external level-shifting circuitry. The input stage includes an internal scaler and protection limiting current to ±1.8mA, and absolute maximum rating is ±16.5V relative to AGND. This range is fixed per device variant and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Input Range" for MAX1174.
Does the MAX1174BCUP+ include an internal voltage reference, and what is its accuracy?
Yes, the MAX1174BCUP+ includes a factory-trimmed internal voltage reference outputting +4.096V at the REF pin. Its accuracy is specified as 4.056V to 4.136V (±40mV, or ±0.98% of nominal) over temperature, with a tempco of ±35ppm/°C. The reference is internally buffered and adjustable via the REFADJ pin, and bypassing with a 10µF capacitor to AGND is required for stability.
How does the AutoShutdown™ feature work on the MAX1174BCUP+?
The AutoShutdown™ feature on the MAX1174BCUP+ is controlled by the R/C pin during the second falling edge of CS. Setting R/C high places the device in shutdown mode after conversion, reducing total supply current to 0.5µA (typ). The internal reference and buffer power down, requiring ≥12ms to wake up and settle before next conversion. This mode maximizes battery life in intermittent-sampling applications.
What package type and temperature grade does the MAX1174BCUP+ use?
The MAX1174BCUP+ uses a 20-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 6.5mm, 0.65mm pitch) and is rated for the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. The 'B' in the part number denotes the ±1LSB INL grade, and 'CUP' indicates the TSSOP package; the '+' suffix confirms RoHS-compliant, lead-free packaging per Maxim's ordering conventions.
Can the MAX1174BCUP+ interface directly with 3.3V microcontrollers?
Yes, the MAX1174BCUP+ supports direct interface with 3.3V microcontrollers via its separate DVDD supply pin, which accepts +2.7V to +5.25V. Digital I/O thresholds are defined as VIH = 0.7×DVDD and VIL = 0.3×DVDD, so at DVDD = 3.3V, VIH ≈ 2.31V and VIL ≈ 0.99V - compatible with standard 3.3V logic. Output drive strength (VOH/VOL) is also specified across this DVDD range.
