Product details
Overview
MAX158ACPI+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-bit, 8-channel high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated track/hold, on-chip 2.5V reference, and single +5V supply operation. It achieves 2.5µs per-channel conversion time, supports 0V to +5V analog input range, and interfaces directly to microprocessor data buses via latched three-state outputs. It is used in real-time speech analysis, high-speed servo control, and multi-channel data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX158ACPI+ datasheet, MAX158ACPI+ pinout, MAX158ACPI+ application, or MAX158ACPI+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-channel multiplexer architecture, ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error, Mode 0/Mode 1 digital interface flexibility, and compatibility with standard 28-pin plastic DIP layouts for legacy industrial control designs.
Technical Context
The MAX158ACPI+ employs a half-flash conversion architecture using two 4-bit flash ADC sections - one for MSBs and one for LSBs - with 15 comparators per stage and internal DAC residue generation. Its timing is controlled by CS and RD inputs, supporting both WAIT-state (Mode 0) and non-WAIT (Mode 1) microprocessor interfacing.
It features a built-in track/hold function eliminating external components, operates with no external clock required, and uses VREF+ and VREF− pins to define full-scale and zero-code voltage boundaries. The REF OUT pin delivers a stable 2.47–2.53V output at 25°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Resolution | 8-bit - provides 256 discrete output codes for digitizing analog signals within 0V–5V range |
| Conversion Time | 2.5µs per channel - enables up to 100kHz effective sampling rate per channel in MAX158 configuration |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1/2 LSB - guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes across full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C) |
| Analog Input Range | 0V to +5V - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic levels and single-supply signal conditioning stages |
| Reference Output | 2.50V ±30mV - internally generated, eliminates need for external precision reference in cost-sensitive applications |

Pinout & Package
MAX158ACPI+ is housed in a 28-pin plastic DIP package (0.600" width), pin-compatible with industry-standard through-hole mounting and socketing for prototyping and industrial control boards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | AIN1–AIN8 | Analog input channels - selectable via A0/A1/A2 address lines; each accepts 0V–5V differential or single-ended signals |
| 9, 10 | A0, A1 | Multiplexer address inputs - select one of eight analog channels in conjunction with A2 (pin 23) |
| 11 | INT | Interrupt output - active-low pulse indicates conversion completion; directly connects to CPU interrupt request line |
| 12 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be tied to system common ground with low-impedance path |
| 13 | VREF− | Reference lower bound - sets zero-code voltage; connected to GND for unipolar 0V–5V operation |
| 14 | VREF+ | Reference upper bound - sets full-scale voltage; typically tied to VDD (+5V) for standard operation |
| 15 | RDY | Ready output - open-drain signal synchronized to CS falling edge; drives microprocessor WAIT input |
| 16 | CS | Chip-select input - enables device and latches channel address on falling edge |
| 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 | DB0–DB7 | Three-state data outputs - provide latched 8-bit parallel result; directly connect to 8-bit data bus without buffers |
| 25 | RD | Read input - initiates conversion and controls data access timing in Mode 0 or Mode 1 |
| 26 | VDD | Power supply - +5V ±5% supply pin; requires 47µF electrolytic + 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND |
| 27 | REF OUT | 2.5V reference output - buffered source for external circuitry or as VREF+ alternative; load ≤10mA |
| 28 | A2 | Multiplexer address input - completes 3-bit channel selection (A2/A1/A0) for 8-channel addressing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit multi-channel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 12-bit resolution, SPI interface, 2.4µs conversion, no internal reference | Requires external reference and serial interface logic; better for higher-precision, lower-speed embedded systems | Select when resolution >8-bit and board space favors SOIC-8 over DIP-28 |
| MAX1112CPE+ | 8-bit, 8-channel, but uses serial (SPI) interface and lacks internal track/hold | Needs external track/hold and serial-to-parallel conversion; suited for low-pin-count microcontroller designs | Choose when minimizing I/O count outweighs conversion speed and analog integration benefits |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1112CPE+, the MAX158ACPI+ offers superior system-level integration - combining track/hold, reference, and parallel interface in a single DIP package - making it optimal for legacy industrial controllers where board real estate and design cycle time are constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX158ACPI+?
The MAX158ACPI+ is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C, as indicated by the 'C' suffix in its ordering code. This commercial-grade temperature range makes it suitable for indoor industrial control panels, laboratory instruments, and telecom infrastructure equipment with controlled thermal environments. The device maintains ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error across this full range.
Does MAX158ACPI+ require an external clock source?
No, the MAX158ACPI+ does not require an external clock. Its internal timing generator is fully synchronized to the CS and RD control signals, enabling autonomous conversion initiation and data latching. This eliminates clock distribution complexity and jitter sensitivity, allowing direct integration into microprocessor systems without additional timing components.
Can MAX158ACPI+ operate with a 0V to 2.5V analog input range?
Yes, the MAX158ACPI+ supports a 0V to 2.5V input range by connecting VREF+ to 2.5V (e.g., from REF OUT) and VREF− to GND. In this configuration, the full-scale code (11111111) corresponds to 2.5V, and resolution remains 8-bit with 9.77mV/LSB step size. The internal 2.5V reference ensures accuracy without external trimming.
How is channel selection implemented on MAX158ACPI+?
Channel selection on MAX158ACPI+ is performed using the 3-bit address bus formed by pins A0 (pin 9), A1 (pin 10), and A2 (pin 23). These inputs are latched on the falling edge of CS, selecting one of eight analog inputs (AIN1–AIN8) for conversion. Address setup and hold times are specified at 30ns and 30ns respectively, compatible with standard 5V logic families.
What is the purpose of the RDY pin on MAX158ACPI+?
The RDY pin on MAX158ACPI+ is an open-drain ready signal used to drive a microprocessor's WAIT or READY input. It goes low on the falling edge of CS and returns to high-impedance at conversion completion, enabling automatic WAIT-state extension without software polling. An external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7kΩ to +5V) is required for proper logic-level translation.
