Product details
Overview
The MAX1177ACUP+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit, 135ksps successive-approximation ADC with 0V to +10V analog input range, single +4.75V to +5.25V analog supply, and byte-wide parallel interface. It features ±3 LSB INL, -100dB THD, and AutoShutdown™ mode for battery-powered data-acquisition systems in industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1177ACUP+ datasheet, MAX1177ACUP+ pinout, MAX1177ACUP+ application, or MAX1177ACUP+ equivalent, key selection considerations include internal/external reference support, high-precision DC accuracy (±3 LSB INL), low-power shutdown (0.5µA), TSSOP-20 package compatibility, and 0–10V input scaling architecture.
Technical Context
The MAX1177ACUP+ employs a SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold and factory-trimmed internal clock, enabling full 16-bit conversion in 4.7µs without external timing components. Its input scaler supports direct 0–10V analog input on a single +5V supply, eliminating external level-shifting circuitry.
Power management is implemented via R/C-controlled standby (3.7mA) or shutdown (0.5µA) modes, selected on the second CS falling edge. Reference operation is flexible: internal +4.096V buffered reference (±35ppm/°C tempco) or external 3.8–4.2V reference at REF/REFADJ pins.

Pinout & Package
MAX1177ACUP+ is housed in a 20-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP) with 0.65mm pitch, 4.4mm body width, and exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin layout supports compact PCB layout with separate analog/digital ground planes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0/D8–D7/D15 | Tri-state parallel data outputs | Byte-multiplexed 16-bit result: HBEN selects D0–D7 (LSB) or D8–D15 (MSB) on bus |
| R/C | Read/Convert control input | Configures power mode (standby/shutdown) and triggers data read on third CS edge |
| EOC | End-of-conversion flag | Active-low signal indicates valid conversion result ready for readback |
| CS | Chip select / convert start | First edge powers up device; second starts conversion; third loads data onto bus |
| HBEN | High-byte enable | Controls byte multiplexing: logic high presents MSB (D8–D15), low presents LSB (D0–D7) |
| AIN | Analog input | 0–10V input node scaled internally to match DAC range; requires external buffer for 16-bit accuracy |
| REF / REFADJ | Reference I/O | REF outputs +4.096V (internal) or accepts 3.8–4.2V (external); REFADJ adjusts internal ref or disables buffer when tied to AVDD |
| AVDD / DVDD | Analog & digital supplies | Separate rails allow interfacing with 2.7–5.25V logic while maintaining analog integrity |
| AGND / DGND | Analog & digital grounds | Must be connected at single point near device to minimize noise coupling between domains |
Key Features

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, SPI interface, 2.5–5.5V supply, no internal reference | Higher speed but serial interface increases µP overhead; requires external reference and driver | Choose for higher throughput where SPI is preferred and external reference is acceptable |
| AD7682BRMZ | 16-bit, 250ksps, pseudo-differential input, 2.3–5.5V supply, internal reference | Lower input range (±VREF), differential architecture better for noisy industrial environments | Choose for noise-immune measurements where bipolar input or lower supply voltage is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX1177ACUP+?
The MAX1177ACUP+ achieves a maximum sampling rate of 135ksps under standard operating conditions (AVDD = DVDD = +5V, external reference). This rate is guaranteed across the full 0°C to +70°C temperature range and supports real-time capture of signals with up to ~67kHz bandwidth while maintaining 16-bit resolution and specified AC performance (SINAD ≥ 85dB).
Does the MAX1177ACUP+ require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX1177ACUP+ includes a factory-trimmed internal reference providing +4.096V at the REF pin, with ±35ppm/°C temperature coefficient. An external reference (3.8V–4.2V) may be used by connecting REFADJ to AVDD and driving REF directly-but the internal reference eliminates BOM cost and simplifies design for most precision applications.
How does the AutoShutdown™ feature work on the MAX1177ACUP+?
The MAX1177ACUP+ enters AutoShutdown™ mode when R/C is held high during the second falling edge of CS, powering down the internal reference and buffer after conversion. This reduces total supply current to 0.5µA (typical), extending battery life in intermittent-sampling applications. Wake-up time from shutdown is 12ms to achieve 16-bit accuracy, requiring careful timing coordination in firmware.
What is the purpose of the HBEN pin on the MAX1177ACUP+?
The HBEN (High-Byte Enable) pin on the MAX1177ACUP+ controls byte multiplexing of the 16-bit parallel output. When HBEN = high, D8–D15 (MSB byte) appear on the data bus; when HBEN = low, D0–D7 (LSB byte) are presented. This allows 8-bit microcontrollers to read the full 16-bit result in two consecutive cycles without requiring wider data buses.
Can the MAX1177ACUP+ interface directly with 3.3V logic systems?
Yes, the MAX1177ACUP+ supports digital interface voltages from +2.7V to +5.25V on DVDD, making it fully compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs. Its VOH (DVDD – 0.4V min) and VOL (0.4V max) specifications ensure reliable logic-level translation without level shifters, provided DVDD is set to 3.3V and proper bypassing (0.1µF to DGND) is implemented.
