Product details
Overview
MAX1188BCUP 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 ±2 LSB INL, -100dB THD, and AutoShutdown™ reducing current to 0.4mA at 10ksps - designed for precision industrial process control and medical instrumentation requiring high DC accuracy and low power.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1188BCUP datasheet, MAX1188BCUP pinout, MAX1188BCUP application, or MAX1188BCUP equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), and real-world design context for data-acquisition system integration.
Technical Context
The MAX1188BCUP implements a SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold and factory-trimmed internal +4.096V reference. Its input scaler enables true ±10V bipolar operation from a single +5V analog supply while limiting input current to ±1.8mA.
Conversion is controlled via three CS edges: first edge powers up and initiates acquisition; second edge starts conversion and selects standby/shutdown mode via R/C; third edge loads 16-bit data onto D0–D15 bus with HBEN toggling high/low byte output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - supports 65,536 distinct digital codes for high-resolution measurement of ±10V signals. |
| Sampling Rate | 135ksps maximum - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~67kHz (Nyquist-limited) in high-speed DAQ systems. |
| INL | ±2 LSB - ensures monotonicity and ≤0.003% full-scale linearity error across temperature for calibrated sensor interfaces. |
| THD | -100dB - minimizes harmonic distortion in precision audio, vibration, or spectral analysis applications. |
| Analog Supply | +4.75V to +5.25V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerant of ±5% regulation variation. |
| Digital Supply | +2.7V to +5.25V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and embedded environments with extended thermal stability. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1188BCUP is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 6.5mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for compact PCB layouts and thermal performance in space-constrained instrumentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 17–20 (D0/D8–D7/D15) | Tri-state parallel data outputs | Deliver 16-bit offset-binary result; HBEN selects high/low byte for 8-bit bus compatibility. |
| 5 (R/C) | Read/Convert control input | Configures power-down mode (standby vs. shutdown) on second CS edge and triggers data output on third CS edge. |
| 6 (EOC) | End-of-conversion flag | Active-low signal indicates valid data ready for readback; synchronizes µP timing without polling. |
| 9 (AIN) | Bipolar analog input | Accepts ±10V input via internal scaler; input impedance 7.8kΩ (normal), 6.0kΩ (shutdown); max ±16.5V absolute rating. |
| 11 (REFADJ) | Reference buffer output | Used to fine-tune internal +4.096V reference (±1.5%) or disable buffer for external reference mode when tied to AVDD. |
| 12 (REF) | Reference I/O | Outputs +4.096V (internal mode, bypassed with 10µF) or accepts 3.8V–4.2V external reference (buffered via REFADJ). |
| 13 (HBEN) | High-byte enable | Logic-high selects D8–D15 (MSB byte); logic-low selects D0–D7 (LSB byte) - enables 8-bit data bus interfacing. |
| 14 (CS) | Convert start | Three-edge sequence controls power-up, conversion trigger, and data output; defines acquisition window (tACQ = 2µs). |
| 7,16 (AVDD, DVDD) | Analog/digital supplies | Separate 5V analog and 2.7–5.25V digital rails reduce noise coupling; each requires local 0.1µF + bulk bypassing. |
| 8,10,15 (AGND, DGND) | Analog/digital ground | Star-ground connection point; AGND pins must be tied together externally; DGND isolated except at single-point junction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AutoShutdown™ mode | Reduces total supply current to 0.4mA at 10ksps - extends battery life in portable DAQ without sacrificing wake-up readiness. |
| ±10V bipolar input range | Eliminates external signal conditioning for industrial transducers (e.g., ±10V LVDTs, strain gauges) operating from single 5V supply. |
| Internal +4.096V reference | Factory-trimmed to ±0.98% initial accuracy (4.056V–4.136V) with ±35ppm/°C tempco - enables self-contained calibration without external references. |
| Byte-wide parallel interface | 16-bit tri-state outputs with HBEN multiplexing allow seamless integration with 8-bit microcontroller buses or FPGA I/O banks. |
| Input scaler architecture | Attenuates and shifts ±10V input to match internal DAC range while limiting input current to <1.8mA - protects against overvoltage and simplifies front-end design. |

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the MAX1188BCUP?
The MAX1188BCUP supports a true bipolar analog input voltage range of ±10V, enabled by its internal input scaler. This allows direct connection to industrial ±10V transmitters without external attenuation or level-shifting circuitry. The device maintains ±2 LSB INL across this full range and operates from a single +4.75V to +5.25V analog supply, making it suitable for systems with strict power rail constraints.
Does the MAX1188BCUP include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the MAX1188BCUP integrates a factory-trimmed +4.096V internal reference with ±0.98% initial accuracy (4.056V–4.136V) and ±35ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The reference is buffered and available at the REF pin, requiring a 10µF bypass capacitor to AGND. REFADJ allows fine adjustment or disabling of the buffer for external reference use - eliminating the need for external reference ICs in most precision applications.
How does the AutoShutdown™ feature work on the MAX1188BCUP?
The MAX1188BCUP AutoShutdown™ reduces total supply current to 0.4mA at 10ksps by powering down the internal reference and buffer between conversions when R/C is set high on the second falling edge of CS. Full accuracy resumes after a 12ms wake-up time (with 10µF CREF and 0.1µF CREFADJ). This mode extends battery life in portable DAQ systems while preserving fast acquisition capability upon wake-up.
What package type and pin count does the MAX1188BCUP use?
The MAX1188BCUP is supplied in a 20-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 6.5mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin assignments include dual 8-bit data buses (D0–D7 and D8–D15), HBEN for byte selection, R/C for power-mode control, and dedicated AVDD/DVDD/AGND/DGND rails - enabling clean analog-digital separation and compact PCB layout in space-sensitive instrumentation.
Can the MAX1188BCUP interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes, the MAX1188BCUP supports digital logic voltages from +2.7V to +5.25V on DVDD, allowing direct connection to 3.3V microcontrollers without level shifters. Its digital outputs (D0–D15, EOC, HBEN) meet VOH ≥ DVDD–0.4V and VOL ≤ 0.4V under 1.6mA sink, while inputs accept VIH ≥ 0.7×DVDD and VIL ≤ 0.3×DVDD. This ensures robust interoperability with modern low-voltage µPs and FPGAs.
