Product details
Overview
The MAX158BEWI+ 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 delivers 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 telecommunications data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX158BEWI+ datasheet, MAX158BEWI+ pinout, MAX158BEWI+ application, or MAX158BEWI+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-channel multiplexed architecture, ±1 LSB total unadjusted error at –40°C to +85°C, SSOP-28 package footprint, and Mode 0/Mode 1 digital interface flexibility for WAIT-capable or WAIT-free microprocessor systems.
Technical Context
The MAX158BEWI+ employs a half-flash conversion architecture with two 4-bit flash ADC sections and an internal DAC to generate the full 8-bit result in 2.5µs. Its analog front-end includes a built-in track/hold and accepts up to eight differential-capable single-ended inputs routed via A0–A2 address lines.
Digital interfacing relies solely on CS and RD control signals, supporting two modes: Mode 0 (WAIT-state extension, INT- and RDY-driven) and Mode 1 (non-WAIT, pipelined read of prior result). The device uses open-drain RDY and active-low INT outputs, with latched three-state DB0–DB7 outputs compatible with standard 8-bit data buses.

Pinout & Package
MAX158BEWI+ is housed in a 28-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) package, 7.65 mm × 10.33 mm body size, 1.27 mm pitch, with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 marked by beveled corner; pin 14 is GND, pin 28 is VDD.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN1–AIN8 | Analog input channels | Single-ended voltage inputs (0V to +5V); internally sampled via 31-comparator array during track phase |
| A0, A1, A2 | Multiplexer address inputs | Select one of eight analog channels; latched on falling edge of CS/RD in Mode 0 or Mode 1 |
| CS | Chip-select input | Active-low enable; initiates address latching and conversion start when asserted with RD |

| INT | Interrupt output | Active-low open-collector signal; asserts ~600 ns after conversion completion; resets on rising edge of CS or RD |
| RDY | Ready output | Open-drain status signal; pulled low on CS fall, returns high-impedance at conversion end; connects to µP WAIT input |
| VREF+, VREF− | Reference span terminals | Define zero-code (VREF−) and full-scale (VREF+) voltages; support external reference or internal 2.5V REF OUT |
| REF OUT | 2.5V reference output | Buffered internal reference; 2.47V–2.53V at +25°C; requires 0.01 µF bypass to GND for stability |
| VDD, GND | Power supply pins | +5V supply (4.75V–5.25V) and ground return; require 47 µF + 0.1 µF local bypassing |

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, 2.5 µs conversion, but single-channel only; requires external MUX for 8-channel use | Not suitable for space-constrained 8-channel parallel-bus systems; better for low-pin-count, higher-resolution SPI-based designs | Select if resolution >8-bit is required and serial interface acceptable; avoid if parallel bus or integrated MUX needed. |
| MAX11131ETE+ | 8-bit, 8-channel, SPI interface, 1.5 µs conversion, internal reference, but –40°C to +125°C grade and TQFN-16 package | Smaller footprint and faster conversion, but lacks parallel bus interface and RDY/INT handshaking for µP WAIT integration | Choose for compact, high-density PCBs with SPI host; not drop-in for legacy 8-bit data bus µP systems using MAX158BEWI+. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11131ETE+, the MAX158BEWI+ uniquely combines 8-channel multiplexing, parallel 8-bit bus interface, RDY/INT handshaking, and industrial temperature rating in a single SOIC-W package-making it optimal for legacy µP-based data acquisition where board space and interface compatibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate achievable with the MAX158BEWI+?
The MAX158BEWI+ achieves a maximum aggregate sampling rate of 400 kHz, calculated as 1/(tCRD + tp) = 1/(2.5 µs + 0.5 µs). This allows up to 50 kHz per channel when all eight inputs are cycled, satisfying Nyquist requirements for 10 kHz bandwidth signals. The MAX158BEWI+ does not require external clocking-the conversion timing is internally generated upon CS/RD assertion.
Does the MAX158BEWI+ require an external track/hold circuit?
No, the MAX158BEWI+ integrates a complete track/hold function, eliminating the need for external components. Its internal track/hold supports input slew rates up to 0.157 V/µs, enabling accurate sampling of signals up to 10 kHz without external hold capacitors or amplifiers-directly reducing system cost and board area.
How does the MAX158BEWI+ interface with a microprocessor that lacks WAIT-state capability?
The MAX158BEWI+ supports Mode 1 operation for non-WAIT µPs: a single CS/RD assertion simultaneously initiates conversion and reads the previous result from DB0–DB7. A second READ is required to retrieve the new result, with ≥2.5 µs delay between operations. This pipelined behavior makes the MAX158BEWI+ compatible with modern microcontrollers lacking dedicated WAIT inputs.
What is the purpose of the RDY and INT pins on the MAX158BEWI+?
RDY is an open-drain ready signal tied to the µP's WAIT input-it pulls low when CS falls and goes high-impedance at conversion completion, extending instruction cycles automatically. INT is an active-low interrupt indicating conversion finish (~600 ns after start); it resets on rising edges of CS or RD. Both signals enable deterministic timing control in real-time systems using the MAX158BEWI+.
Can the MAX158BEWI+ operate with an external reference instead of the internal 2.5V source?
Yes-the MAX158BEWI+ accepts external references via VREF+ and VREF− pins. When using an external reference, the internal 2.5V REF OUT is disabled. The device maintains full 8-bit performance with external references spanning VREF− to VDD (up to +5V), allowing flexible scaling-for example, 0V to +4.096V full-scale for direct match to 12-bit DACs or digital logic thresholds.
