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 full-scale input range (2µV/LSB), 100 conversions/sec maximum throughput, and 15µVRMS noise. It delivers ±0.006% FSR accuracy at 16 conv/sec and operates from ±5V supplies with 60µA typical supply current - ideal for high-precision battery-powered instrumentation and industrial panel meters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX132EWG+T datasheet, MAX132EWG+T pinout, MAX132EWG+T application, or MAX132EWG+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed resolution and line-rejection performance, real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for precision measurement systems requiring low-noise, high-accuracy DC voltage digitization.
Technical Context
The MAX132EWG+T implements a dual-slope integration architecture with programmable 50Hz/60Hz rejection via fixed-integration timing synchronized to a 32.768kHz crystal. Its internal integrator uses external RINT (602kΩ) and CINT (4.7nF) to achieve ±512mV full-scale with 2µV/LSB resolution and ±2pA input bias current.
Digital control is handled via a 4-wire SPI-compatible serial interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT), supporting twos-complement output coding and four user-programmable digital outputs (P0–P3). Sleep mode reduces supply current to 1µA while retaining serial interface responsiveness.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-accuracy integrating ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1258IRHBT | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC; 130kSPS max; no built-in 50/60Hz rejection; requires external digital filter configuration | Higher resolution but lacks hardware-based line rejection; needs FPGA or MCU firmware for notch filtering | Choose for higher speed and resolution where line rejection can be implemented digitally |
| LTC2440CGN#PBF | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC; 100SPS; integrated 50/60Hz rejection; 350nVRMS noise; SPI interface | Superior noise performance and auto-zeroing; wider supply range (2.7–5.5V); no dual-supply requirement | Choose for single-supply systems needing lower noise and simpler power design |
Compared with MAX132EWG+T, ADS1258IRHBT offers higher speed and resolution but shifts line-rejection burden to system firmware, while LTC2440CGN#PBF provides better noise and single-supply operation but lacks user-programmable outputs (P0–P3) for peripheral control.

FAQ
What is the full-scale input voltage range supported by the MAX132EWG+T?
The MAX132EWG+T supports a ±512mV full-scale differential input range across pins IN HI (14) and IN LO (15), delivering 2µV/LSB resolution at 18 bits. This range is guaranteed with 545mV reference voltage in 60Hz mode or 655mV in 50Hz mode. Operation outside ±470mV to ±660mV may degrade linearity per the datasheet's common-mode error curves.
How does the MAX132EWG+T achieve 50Hz and 60Hz line rejection?
The MAX132EWG+T achieves hardware-based 50Hz/60Hz rejection by configuring its integration time to exactly one AC line cycle: 20ms for 50Hz (655 clock counts) or 16.67ms for 60Hz (545 clock counts), synchronized to a 32.768kHz crystal. This is controlled by a dedicated bit in command register 0 and requires no external filtering or digital post-processing.
Can the MAX132EWG+T operate from a single supply?
No - the MAX132EWG+T requires dual analog supplies: V+ = +5V and V− = −5V, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. Its ±512mV input range, integrator topology, and internal reference architecture depend on symmetric dual-rail operation. Single-supply alternatives like LTC2440CGN#PBF exist but are not pin- or functionally compatible.
What are the recommended external components for the MAX132EWG+T?
The MAX132EWG+T requires: a 32.768kHz crystal between OSC1/OSC2; 602kΩ metal-film integrator resistor (RINT) between BUF OUT and INT IN; 4.7nF polypropylene integrator capacitor (CINT) between INT IN and INT OUT; and 0.1µF low-leakage polypropylene reference capacitor (CREF) between CREF+ and CREF−. These values are validated for 16 conv/sec with 50/60Hz rejection.
Does the MAX132EWG+T include an internal oscillator or require an external crystal?
The MAX132EWG+T requires an external 32.768kHz crystal connected between OSC1 (pin 5) and OSC2 (pin 6) for precise timing and guaranteed 50/60Hz rejection. While it supports external clock input (to OSC1 only), the crystal configuration is mandatory for production use - the internal oscillator has no standalone mode and cannot generate accurate line-rejection timing without external frequency reference.
