Product details
Overview
MAX132EWG-T from Maxim Integrated is an 18-bit plus sign, multi-slope integrating analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with serial interface, ±512mV input range (2µV/LSB), 100 conversions/sec max throughput, and 15µVRMS noise. It operates from ±5V supplies, draws 60µA typical supply current, and supports 50Hz/60Hz line rejection for precision transducer-signal measurement in industrial process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX132EWG-T datasheet, MAX132EWG-T pinout, MAX132EWG-T application, or MAX132EWG-T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply support for embedded instrumentation and battery-powered data acquisition.
Technical Context
The MAX132EWG-T uses multi-slope integration architecture with fixed-integration time followed by deintegration of a known reference voltage, enabling high resolution without sacrificing speed. Its 50Hz/60Hz mode selection bit configures integration periods to exactly one AC line cycle (20ms or 16.67ms) using a 32.768kHz crystal, achieving guaranteed ±0.006% FSR accuracy at 16 conv/sec.
Dual differential reference inputs (REF+, REF−) and dedicated CREF+ / CREF− terminals enable precise rollover error control; integrator inputs (INT IN / INT OUT) require external RINT = 602kΩ and CINT = 4.7nF for nominal operation. Four user-programmable digital outputs (P0–P3) are serially controlled and usable for multiplexer or PGA sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | ±18-bit + sign (262,144 counts), delivering 2µV/LSB at ±512mV full-scale input range |
| Accuracy | ±0.006% FSR integral nonlinearity at 16 conv/sec - ensures <±32ppm error in weigh-scale or panel-meter calibration |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 100 conv/sec (reduced accuracy); 16 conv/sec guaranteed with 50Hz/60Hz rejection enabled |
| Input Range | ±512mV pseudo-differential across IN HI/IN LO - compatible with low-level sensor outputs without gain stage |
| Supply Current | 60µA typical active; 1µA sleep-mode - enables >1-year battery life in remote data loggers |
| Input Leakage | ±2pA max at +25°C - preserves signal integrity from high-impedance sources like thermocouples or strain gauges |
| Reference Rejection | 50Hz/60Hz rejection via programmable integration timing - eliminates need for external notch filters in noisy industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
The MAX132EWG-T is housed in a 24-pin wide SO (Small Outline) package, 7.5mm body width, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN HI / IN LO | Pseudo-differential analog input | Accepts ±512mV input; high-impedance CMOS inputs enable direct connection to sensors without loading |
| REF+ / REF− | Differential reference voltage inputs | Set full-scale range; REF− tied to AGND minimizes rollover error; supports 500–700mV reference voltages |
| CREF+ / CREF− | Reference capacitor terminals | Connect 0.1µF low-leakage capacitor (e.g., polypropylene) to stabilize reference during deintegration phase |
| INT IN / INT OUT | Integrator node connections | External 602kΩ resistor and 4.7nF capacitor form integrator; INT OUT drives capacitor outer foil to reduce noise |
| SCLK / DIN / DOUT / CS | 4-wire serial interface | CMOS-compatible; D7-first MSB-serial protocol; CS rising edge latches commands, falling edge loads output data |
| P0–P3 | User-programmable digital outputs | Configured via serial port; used to control external multiplexers, PGAs, or status indicators without MCU GPIO overhead |
| EOC | End-of-conversion flag | Active-high open-drain output signals conversion completion; used for interrupt-driven or polled data capture |
| V+ / V− / AGND / DGND | Power and ground rails | Separate analog/digital grounds required; ±5V nominal supplies; V− must be ≤ −4.5V for specified performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-slope integration architecture | Enables 18-bit resolution with faster conversion than dual-slope ADCs - achieves 100 conv/sec while maintaining low noise |
| Programmable 50Hz/60Hz rejection | Integration period auto-adjusts to 655 or 545 clock cycles (32.768kHz) - eliminates 50/60Hz interference without external filtering components |
| Four serially controlled digital outputs | P0–P3 pins eliminate need for external I/O expanders when sequencing multi-channel sensor arrays or gain stages |
| Twos-complement serial output coding | Simplifies bipolar measurement processing in microcontrollers - no software sign-extension or offset correction required |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1258IDBT | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC; SPI interface; 30kSPS max; requires external reference and clock | Higher resolution but lacks built-in 50/60Hz rejection; needs more external components for same noise immunity | Choose ADS1258IDBT for higher throughput or when system already includes precision reference and clock sources |
| LTC2440CGN#PBF | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC; 7.5SPS typ; internal oscillator; 100dB 50/60Hz rejection; no programmable outputs | Slower but simpler integration; no P0–P3 control pins; lower supply current (350nA sleep) | Choose LTC2440CGN#PBF for ultra-low-power, single-channel applications where digital output control is unnecessary |
Compared with ADS1258IDBT and LTC2440CGN#PBF, the MAX132EWG-T uniquely combines 18-bit resolution, 100 conv/sec speed, integrated 50/60Hz rejection, and four programmable outputs in a single 24-pin SO package - making it optimal for compact, self-contained industrial data loggers requiring both precision and peripheral control.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed accuracy specification for the MAX132EWG-T at its rated conversion rate?
The MAX132EWG-T is guaranteed for ±0.006% FSR integral nonlinearity at 16 conversions per second under standard operating conditions (V+ = 5V, V− = −5V, fCLK = 32.768kHz, 60Hz mode). This corresponds to ±15.7ppm error over full scale and is tested across the −40°C to +85°C temperature range. Accuracy degrades to approximately ±0.012% FSR when operated at 100 conv/sec.
Does the MAX132EWG-T require external passive components to operate, and if so, which ones?
Yes, the MAX132EWG-T requires four external passive components: a 602kΩ metal-film integrator resistor (RINT), a 4.7nF integrator capacitor (CINT), a 0.1µF low-leakage reference capacitor (CREF), and a 32.768kHz crystal (or external clock source). These are mandatory for proper multi-slope integration, reference stability, and oscillator operation - no internal equivalents are provided.
How does the MAX132EWG-T achieve 50Hz and 60Hz line frequency rejection?
The MAX132EWG-T achieves 50Hz/60Hz rejection by configuring its integration period to exactly one AC line cycle: 20ms for 50Hz (655 clock counts) or 16.67ms for 60Hz (545 clock counts), using a 32.768kHz crystal. This is controlled by the 50Hz/60Hz mode bit in Command Input Register 0. The architecture inherently averages out interference over the full cycle, eliminating need for external notch filters.
Can the MAX132EWG-T operate from a single supply, or does it require dual supplies?
The MAX132EWG-T requires dual supplies: a positive supply (V+) and a negative supply (V−). The datasheet specifies V+ = +4.5V to +5.5V and V− = −5.5V to −4.5V, with absolute maximum ratings up to +6V and −9V respectively. Single-supply operation is not supported - the analog input range (±512mV) and internal integrator topology depend on true bipolar rail capability.
What is the function of the P0–P3 pins on the MAX132EWG-T, and how are they configured?
The P0–P3 pins on the MAX132EWG-T are user-programmable digital outputs controlled exclusively via Command Input Register 1. Bits D4–D7 of that register set the logic state of P0–P3 respectively. They are designed to drive external devices such as analog multiplexers or programmable-gain amplifiers, reducing MCU GPIO usage. Configuration occurs through the same 4-wire serial interface used for data readback.
