Product details
Overview
The MAX132EWG+ from Maxim Integrated is an 18-bit plus sign, multi-slope integrating analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with serial interface, ±512mV full-scale input range (2µV/LSB), 16 conversions/sec guaranteed accuracy, and 50Hz/60Hz line rejection. It operates from ±5V supplies, draws only 60µA typical supply current, and supports user-programmable digital outputs (P0–P3) for external multiplexer or PGA control. Ideal for high-precision battery-powered instrumentation and industrial data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX132EWG+ datasheet, MAX132EWG+ pinout, MAX132EWG+ application, or MAX132EWG+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its ±18-bit resolution with averaging, 15µVRMS noise floor, 60Hz/50Hz rejection timing modes, low-leakage ±2pA input, and compatibility with 32.768kHz crystal-based timing for stable metrology-grade conversion.
Technical Context
The MAX132EWG+ uses multi-slope integration architecture with fixed-integration time followed by deintegration of a known reference voltage, enabling high-resolution measurement without successive approximation or sigma-delta modulation. Its 50Hz/60Hz mode selection bit configures integration periods to exactly one AC line cycle (20ms or 16.67ms), achieving inherent line-frequency rejection without external filtering.
Conversion data is output in two's-complement format via a 4-wire serial interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT), supporting register-selectable reads of 18-bit result split across Output Register 0 (B3–B10) and Register 1 (B11–B18). Four programmable digital outputs (P0–P3) are controlled via Command Input Register 1 and retain state between conversions.

Pinout & Package
The MAX132EWG+ is housed in a 24-pin wide SO (Small Outline) package, 7.5mm body width, with standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN HI / IN LO (14, 15) | Pseudo-differential analog input | Accepts ±512mV full-scale differential voltage; high-impedance CMOS inputs enable direct connection to sensors without buffering |
| REF+ / REF− (18, 17) | Differential reference inputs | Set full-scale range; require external 545mV (60Hz) or 655mV (50Hz) reference; REF− tied to AGND minimizes rollover error |
| CREF+ / CREF− (19, 20) | Reference capacitor terminals | Connect 0.1µF low-leakage capacitor (e.g., polypropylene); critical for scale-factor stability during deintegration phase |
| INT IN / INT OUT (21, 22) | Integrator node interface | Connect external 602kΩ resistor and 4.7nF capacitor; INT OUT drives capacitor outer foil to reduce dielectric absorption effects |
| OSC1 / OSC2 (6, 5) | Crystal oscillator terminals | Drive 32.768kHz tuning-fork crystal; internal oscillator sets conversion rate and enables precise 50/60Hz rejection timing |
| CS / SCLK / DIN / DOUT (1, 4, 2, 3) | Serial interface control and data | 4-wire synchronous serial port; CS rising edge latches commands, falling edge loads output data, DOUT three-states when CS high |
| P0–P3 (7, 8, 9, 10) | User-programmable digital outputs | Configurable via Command Register 1; used to control external multiplexers, PGAs, or calibration switches without MCU GPIO overhead |
| EOC (11) | End-of-conversion indicator | Active-high open-drain output signals completion; can be polled or used to trigger interrupt-driven data read |
| V+ / V− (24, 13) | Analog power supplies | ±5V nominal dual supplies; must remain within ±0.3V of rails to avoid damage; supports ±512mV input swing |
| AGND / DGND (16, 12) | Analog and digital ground returns | Separate ground pins minimize digital switching noise coupling into sensitive analog integrator path |
| BUF OUT (23) | Buffer amplifier output | Drives integrator resistor; internal buffer isolates integrator from input stage, improving common-mode rejection |
| INT OUT (22) | Integrator output | Direct connection point for integrator capacitor; routing to capacitor outer foil reduces dielectric absorption-induced nonlinearity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution integrating ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1258IRHBT | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC, 125kSPS max, single-ended input, internal PGA, no 50/60Hz rejection mode | Higher resolution but lacks built-in line-frequency rejection; requires external digital filtering for AC noise suppression | Choose for higher speed or greater resolution where line rejection is handled digitally or not required |
| LTC2440CGN#PBF | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC, 10SPS, built-in 50/60Hz rejection, differential input, 1.2µA typical supply current | Lower power and same line-rejection capability, but slower throughput (10 vs 16 conv/sec) and no programmable digital outputs | Choose for ultra-low-power applications where P0–P3 functionality is unnecessary and 10SPS suffices |
Compared with ADS1258IRHBT and LTC2440CGN#PBF, the MAX132EWG+ uniquely combines 18-bit integrating accuracy, hardware 50/60Hz rejection, four programmable outputs, and 16 conv/sec throughput in a single SO-24 package - making it optimal for compact, self-contained industrial metering designs.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed accuracy specification for the MAX132EWG+ at its rated conversion rate?
The MAX132EWG+ is guaranteed to deliver ±0.006% of full-scale range (FSR) integral nonlinearity at 16 conversions per second, tested across the −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This specification includes zero error, rollover error, and linearity deviation under defined conditions (V+ = 5V, V− = −5V, fCLK = 32.768kHz, 60Hz mode). Accuracy degrades to approximately ±0.012% FSR at 100 conv/sec, where the MAX132EWG+ operates in high-speed mode without line rejection.
How does the MAX132EWG+ achieve 50Hz and 60Hz line-frequency rejection?
The MAX132EWG+ achieves hardware-based 50Hz/60Hz rejection by configuring its multi-slope integration period to exactly one AC line cycle: 20ms for 50Hz (655 clock counts) or 16.67ms for 60Hz (545 clock counts), both synchronized to a 32.768kHz crystal. This eliminates common-mode noise before digitization, removing the need for external analog filters or digital post-processing. The mode is selected via the 50Hz/60Hz bit in Command Input Register 0.
What are the recommended external components for the MAX132EWG+ reference and integrator circuits?
The MAX132EWG+ requires a 0.1µF low-leakage reference capacitor (polypropylene or polystyrene), a 602kΩ metal-film integrator resistor, and a 4.7nF integrator capacitor - all specified for use with a 32.768kHz crystal. REF+ should be driven with 545mV (60Hz mode) or 655mV (50Hz mode) from a low-noise source like the MAX872. CREF− must connect to AGND to minimize rollover error, and INT OUT must drive the outer foil of the integrator capacitor to reduce dielectric absorption effects.
Can the MAX132EWG+ operate from a single supply, or does it require dual rails?
The MAX132EWG+ requires dual analog supplies: V+ nominally at +5V and V− nominally at −5V. It cannot operate from a single supply because its ±512mV pseudo-differential input range and internal integrator architecture depend on symmetric rail-to-rail headroom. Supply voltages must stay within absolute maximum ratings: V+ between −0.3V and +6.0V relative to DGND, and V− between +0.3V and −9.0V relative to DGND. Operation outside these ranges risks permanent damage.
What is the function of the P0–P3 pins on the MAX132EWG+, and how are they controlled?
The P0–P3 pins on the MAX132EWG+ are user-programmable digital outputs controlled exclusively via Command Input Register 1. Bits D4–D7 of that register set the logic states of P0–P3 respectively. These outputs retain their programmed state between conversions and can drive external devices such as analog multiplexers, programmable-gain amplifiers, or calibration switches - reducing system-level component count and MCU GPIO usage. They are not affected by conversion activity or sleep mode entry/exit.
