Product details
Overview
MAX1188ACUP+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit, 135ksps successive-approximation ADC with ±10V 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, ±2 LSB INL, -100dB THD, and operates across 0°C to +70°C in industrial data-acquisition systems requiring high DC accuracy and low power.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1188ACUP+ datasheet, MAX1188ACUP+ pinout, MAX1188ACUP+ application, or MAX1188ACUP+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed temperature-grade packaging, and real-world timing and accuracy trade-offs for precision analog-to-digital conversion in battery-powered and process-control environments.
Technical Context
The MAX1188ACUP+ implements a SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold and input scaler, enabling true ±10V bipolar operation from a single +5V analog supply. Its internal clock eliminates external timing dependencies, and acquisition time is fixed at 2µs with 4.7µs max conversion time after CS falling edge.
Power management is controlled via R/C pin state during the second CS falling edge: low enables standby mode (3.7mA typ), high triggers shutdown (0.5µA typ) with 12ms reference wake-up. The device supports both internal (4.096V) and external (3.8V–4.2V) reference modes via REFADJ pin configuration.

Pinout & Package
MAX1188ACUP+ is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 6.5mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for compact PCB layouts and thermal performance in high-density analog systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 17–20 (D0–D7/D8–D15) | Tri-state parallel data outputs | Byte-multiplexed 16-bit output bus; HBEN selects high/low byte for 8-bit microcontroller interfacing |
| 5 (R/C) | Read/Convert control | Determines post-conversion power state: low = standby (ref on), high = shutdown (ref off) |
| 6 (EOC) | End-of-conversion flag | Active-low signal indicates valid data ready for readout; synchronizes µP bus access |
| 7 (AVDD), 16 (DVDD) | Analog/digital supply inputs | Separate rails allow direct interfacing with +2.7V–+5.25V logic while maintaining analog integrity |
| 8,10 (AGND), 15 (DGND) | Analog/digital ground terminals | Dual AGND pins require star grounding near AVDD bypass cap; DGND isolated for noise separation |
| 9 (AIN) | Bipolar analog input | Accepts ±10V input with internal scaling; input impedance varies with mode (6kΩ typical in shutdown) |
| 11 (REFADJ), 12 (REF) | Reference buffer control/output | REFADJ = AVDD disables internal buffer for external reference; REF outputs 4.096V (±35ppm/°C) |
| 13 (HBEN) | High-byte enable | Controls MSB/LSB byte presentation on D0–D7 bus-enables 8-bit data path compatibility |
| 14 (CS) | Convert start | Three-edge sequence controls power-up, conversion trigger, and data latching; defines timing critical path |
Key Features

|---|---|
| ±10V bipolar input range | Eliminates need for external level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with ±10V industrial transducers |
| Internal 4.096V reference | Factory-trimmed, ±35ppm/°C tempco, bypassed by 10µF/0.1µF caps-reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| AutoShutdown™ mode | Reduces total supply current to 0.5µA between conversions-extends battery life in portable DAQ systems |
| Byte-wide parallel interface | Supports direct connection to 8-bit µPs via HBEN-controlled multiplexing-avoids serial protocol overhead |
| Single +5V analog supply | Operates from one rail despite ±10V input-simplifies power architecture and improves system-level efficiency |

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 ±10V native), 1.8V/3.3V supplies | Requires external level-shifting for ±10V signals; higher speed but no byte-wide parallel bus | Choose for high-speed, low-voltage systems where SPI is preferred and input scaling is acceptable |
| AD7606BSTZ | 16-bit, 200ksps, simultaneous sampling, ±10V input, parallel/SPI, 5V-only supply | 8-channel integrated solution with oversampling; larger LQFP-64 package and higher power (120mW) | Choose for multi-channel synchronized acquisition where channel count outweighs size/power constraints |
Compared with ADS8860IDRCT and AD7606BSTZ, the MAX1188ACUP+ uniquely balances native ±10V bipolar input, byte-wide parallel interface, and sub-3mA active current in a 20-pin TSSOP-making it optimal for space-constrained, single-channel industrial DAQ nodes requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX1188ACUP+?
The MAX1188ACUP+ achieves a maximum sampling rate of 135ksps under specified conditions (AVDD = DVDD = +5V ±5%, external reference). This corresponds to a Nyquist frequency of 67.5kHz and is guaranteed across the full 0°C to +70°C operating range. The timing is governed by tCONV (max 4.7µs) and tACQ (2µs), with CS-controlled sequencing ensuring deterministic throughput.
Does the MAX1188ACUP+ support external reference voltage?
Yes, the MAX1188ACUP+ supports external reference voltage via the REFADJ pin. When REFADJ is tied to AVDD, the internal reference buffer is disabled, allowing a 3.8V–4.2V external reference to drive the REF pin directly. The device requires the external source to supply ≥100µA DC load current with ≤10Ω output impedance for full 16-bit accuracy.
How does the R/C pin control power modes in the MAX1188ACUP+?
In the MAX1188ACUP+, the R/C pin state during the second falling edge of CS determines post-conversion behavior: low maintains standby mode (reference and buffer remain active, 3.7mA typ), while high activates shutdown mode (reference and buffer powered down, 0.5µA typ). Shutdown requires 12ms wake-up before next conversion for full accuracy.
What is the purpose of the HBEN pin on the MAX1188ACUP+?
The HBEN (High-Byte Enable) pin on the MAX1188ACUP+ controls byte multiplexing of the 16-bit conversion result onto the 8-bit D0–D7 data bus. When HBEN = high, the MSB byte (D8–D15) appears on D0–D7; when HBEN = low, the LSB byte (D0–D7) is presented. This enables seamless interfacing with 8-bit microcontrollers without external latch logic.
Is the MAX1188ACUP+ pin-compatible with the MAX1178ACUP+?
No, the MAX1188ACUP+ is not pin-compatible with the MAX1178ACUP+ in terms of analog input scaling or reference configuration. While both share identical 20-pin TSSOP packaging and core interface signals, the MAX1188ACUP+ is optimized for ±10V input (vs. ±5V for MAX1178ACUP+) and exhibits different input resistance (6kΩ vs. 3kΩ) and reference adjustment characteristics-requiring separate PCB layout and bias network design.
