Product details
Overview
MAX1179CCUI+T from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit, 135ksps successive-approximation ADC with ±5V bipolar analog input range, single +4.75V to +5.25V analog supply, and 16-bit parallel interface. It delivers ±2LSB INL, -100dB THD, and 23mW power consumption at full speed using external reference-ideal for precision industrial data-acquisition systems requiring high DC accuracy and low noise.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1179CCUI+T datasheet, MAX1179CCUI+T pinout, MAX1179CCUI+T application, or MAX1179CCUI+T equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed temperature-grade operation (0°C to +70°C), and real-world design context for embedded instrumentation and process control use cases.
Technical Context
The MAX1179CCUI+T implements a SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, factory-trimmed internal clock, and selectable standby/shutdown modes controlled via R/C during CS falling edges. Its input scaler enables true ±5V bipolar conversion from a single +5V analog supply without external level-shifting circuitry.
It supports both internal +4.096V reference (±35ppm/°C tempco) and external 3.8V–4.2V reference inputs, with REFADJ pin enabling fine adjustment of internal reference voltage. Digital interface operates across +2.7V to +5.25V logic levels, ensuring compatibility with mixed-voltage microcontrollers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Sampling Rate | 135ksps - supports real-time capture of signals up to ~67kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| Analog Input Range | ±5V - accepts bipolar industrial sensor outputs (e.g., strain gauges, accelerometers) directly |
| INL (max) | ±2LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.003% full-scale linearity error over temperature |
| THD | -100dB - minimizes harmonic contamination in spectral analysis and audio-grade measurement |
| Supply Current (135ksps) | 5.3mA (external ref) - enables battery-powered operation with predictable power budgeting |

Pinout & Package
MAX1179CCUI+T is housed in a 28-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 9.7mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for compact PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance in industrial environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D15 | Three-state parallel digital output bus | 16-bit LSB-to-MSB data path; high-impedance during acquisition/conversion to prevent bus contention |
| R/C | Read/Convert mode control | Selects standby (ref/buffer on) or shutdown (ref/buffer off) after conversion via second CS edge |
| EOC | End-of-conversion flag | Active-low signal indicates valid data ready on D0–D15; synchronizes µP read timing |
| CS | Convert start command | Falling-edge-triggered control: first edge powers up, second starts conversion, third loads data |
| AIN | Analog input terminal | Accepts ±5V differential input; internal scaler and protection limit current to <1.8mA |
| REF / REFADJ | Reference input/output and adjustment | REF = buffered +4.096V output or external reference input; REFADJ adjusts internal ref or selects external mode |
| AVDD / DVDD | Separate analog/digital supplies | AVDD = +4.75V to +5.25V; DVDD = +2.7V to +5.25V - enables noise isolation between domains |
| AGND / DGND | Independent analog/digital ground pins | Requires star-ground connection near device to minimize ground bounce and coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AutoShutdown™ mode | Reduces total supply current to 0.5µA (typ) between conversions-critical for ultra-low-power portable DAQ |
| Internal +4.096V reference | Factory-trimmed, ±35ppm/°C drift, bypassed by 10µF/0.1µF caps-eliminates need for external precision reference IC |
| Input scaler architecture | Enables ±5V input range from single +5V AVDD-removes requirement for external op-amp level-shifting stages |
| Offset binary coding | Direct mapping of -5V → 0x0000, 0V → 0x8000, +5V → 0xFFFF-simplifies firmware sign handling vs. two's complement |
| 16-bit wide parallel interface | Single-cycle µP data read after EOC assertion-avoids serial protocol overhead and timing complexity |

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, ±VREF input only (no ±5V direct), 1.8V/3.3V supply | Requires external level-shifting for ±5V sensors; higher speed but no native bipolar scaling | Choose when system uses SPI-only µC and needs >100ksps; avoid if ±5V direct interface or parallel bus required |
| AD7682BCPZ-RL7 | 16-bit, 250ksps, pseudo-differential input, ±VREF range, 2.3V–5.5V supply | Unipolar input only; requires external op-amp for bipolar signal conditioning | Prefer for cost-sensitive designs where ±5V support is handled externally and SPI interface is acceptable |
Compared with ADS8860IDRCT and AD7682BCPZ-RL7, MAX1179CCUI+T uniquely integrates ±5V bipolar input scaling, parallel 16-bit interface, and internal reference-reducing BOM count and layout complexity in space-constrained industrial DAQ modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX1179CCUI+T?
The MAX1179CCUI+T achieves a maximum sampling rate of 135ksps under specified conditions (AVDD = DVDD = +5V ±5%, external reference). This rate is guaranteed across the full 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range and supports real-time capture of signals with bandwidths up to ~67kHz while maintaining 16-bit resolution and ±2LSB INL performance.
Does the MAX1179CCUI+T require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX1179CCUI+T includes a factory-trimmed internal +4.096V reference with ±35ppm/°C tempco, fully usable out-of-the-box. REF and REFADJ pins allow optional external reference connection (3.8V–4.2V), but the internal reference eliminates BOM cost and board space for most precision applications-confirmed in the MAX1179CCUI+T datasheet Section "Internal and External Reference".
How does the R/C pin control power modes in the MAX1179CCUI+T?
The R/C pin selects standby or shutdown mode during the second falling edge of CS: low = standby (reference and buffer remain active), high = shutdown (reference and buffer powered down). This control is explicitly defined in the MAX1179CCUI+T timing diagram and functional description, enabling µP-driven optimization of power vs. wake-up latency in battery-powered DAQ systems.
What is the analog input impedance of the MAX1179CCUI+T?
The MAX1179CCUI+T exhibits a nominal input resistance of 5.3kΩ (typical) and input capacitance of 10pF, as measured at AIN under normal operation. These values are specified in the "Analog Input" section of the MAX1179CCUI+T datasheet and define the loading effect on upstream signal conditioning stages-critical for selecting appropriate op-amp drive capability.
Is the MAX1179CCUI+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX1179/MAX1187/MAX1189 family?
Yes, all members of the MAX1179/MAX1187/MAX1189 family-including MAX1179CCUI+T-share identical 28-pin TSSOP pinout, register map, and timing behavior. Differences are limited to input voltage range (±5V for MAX1179CCUI+T), INL grade (C-grade = ±2LSB), and temperature rating (0°C to +70°C), enabling drop-in substitution within the same package footprint and PCB layout.
