Product details
Overview
MAX195BCWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit successive-approximation ADC with 85ksps throughput, 9.4µs conversion time, 90dB SINAD, and 10µA shutdown current. It features built-in track/hold, pin-selectable unipolar (0V to VREF) or bipolar (−VREF to +VREF) input range, and separate analog/digital supplies for noise isolation-used in portable instrumentation and medical signal acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX195BCWE+ datasheet, MAX195BCWE+ pinout, MAX195BCWE+ application, or MAX195BCWE+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its SAR architecture, ±0.004%FSR unipolar offset error, −90dB THD at 1kHz, 5MHz serial clock support, and compatibility with external references up to +5V.
Technical Context
The MAX195BCWE+ implements a capacitive-DAC SAR architecture with an integrated 16-capacitor array (including dummy LSB), enabling inherent track/hold functionality and eliminating external sample-and-hold requirements. Calibration DACs per MSB capacitor correct linearity and offset errors across temperature without external trimming.
Its digital interface supports two serial read modes: synchronous bit-by-bit output during conversion (at CLK rate) or asynchronous post-conversion readout (at SCLK up to 5MHz). The BP/UP/SHDN pin provides three-state logic control for bipolar/unipolar mode selection or 10µA shutdown-no external pull-ups required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16 bits - guarantees no missing codes over full operating range |
| Conversion Rate | 85ksps - maximum sustained sampling rate under specified conditions |
| Conversion Time | 9.4µs - fixed latency from CONV assertion to EOC assertion |
| SINAD | 90dB - signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio at 1kHz input, defining dynamic fidelity |
| Input Range | Selectable unipolar (0V to VREF) or bipolar (−VREF to +VREF) - configured via BP/UP/SHDN pin state |
| Shutdown Current | 10µA max - ultra-low power state preserving calibration data and enabling rapid wake-up |
| Supply Voltages | VDDA/VDDD = +4.75V to +5.25V; VSSA/VSSD = −5.25V to −4.75V - dual-supply operation with strict rail symmetry |
Pinout & Package
MAX195BCWE+ is housed in a 16-pin wide SO (Small Outline) package with 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant, and rated for 0°C to +70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BP/UP/SHDN) | Mode control input | Floating = bipolar input range; VDDD = unipolar; 0V = 10µA shutdown |
| 2 (CLK) | Conversion clock input | Drives internal SAR timing; 1.7MHz max, 25–75% duty cycle required |
| 3 (SCLK) | Serial clock input | Controls asynchronous data readout; up to 5MHz, independent of CLK |
| 4 (VDDD) | +5V digital supply | Power for digital logic and serial interface; decoupling critical for noise immunity |
| 5 (DOUT) | Serial data output | Three-state MSB-first output enabled by CS low; compatible with SPI/QSPI framing |
| 6 (DGND) | Digital ground reference | Isolated return path for digital circuitry; must be separated from AGND |
| 7 (EOC) | End-of-conversion indicator | Active-high pulse signals completion; usable as interrupt or auto-trigger for continuous mode |
| 8 (CS) | Chip select input | Active-low enables DOUT three-state driver and serial interface access |
| 9 (CONV) | Convert-start input | Falling-edge triggered; initiates acquisition and conversion sequence |
| 10 (RESET) | Calibration reset input | Rising edge triggers full internal calibration; halts operation when held low |
| 11 (VSSD) | −5V digital supply | Negative rail for digital logic; requires symmetric decoupling with VDDD |
| 12 (REF) | Reference voltage input | 0V to +5V range; drives DAC array continuously; low-impedance source required |
| 13 (AIN) | Analog input | Capacitive input (250pF unipolar); accepts ±VREF or 0V–VREF based on BP/UP/SHDN |
| 14 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Return for analog circuitry; must be star-connected and isolated from DGND |
| 15 (VSSA) | −5V analog supply | Negative rail for analog front-end; matched to VSSD for common-mode rejection |
| 16 (VDDA) | +5V analog supply | Power for comparator, DAC, and analog logic; decoupling essential for AC performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8505IPW | 5V single-supply operation; no negative rails required; 250ksps max; internal reference option | Eliminates dual-supply design complexity but lacks bipolar input flexibility | Preferred when system already uses 5V-only rails and unipolar sensing dominates |
| AD7606BSTZ | 8-channel simultaneous-sampling; ±10V/±5V input; 200ksps; integrated reference and antialiasing filter | Targets multi-sensor synchronized acquisition rather than single-channel high-fidelity use | Chosen for motor control or power quality analyzers needing phase-coherent channel sets |
Compared with ADS8505IPW and AD7606BSTZ, the MAX195BCWE+ delivers superior DC accuracy (±0.004%FSR offset) and lower power shutdown (10µA vs. >100µA), making it optimal for battery-operated precision instruments where dual-supply infrastructure is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX195BCWE+?
The MAX195BCWE+ is specified for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation. This commercial-grade temperature range aligns with its BC grade designation and is validated across all electrical parameters including INL (±3LSB), offset error (±0.004%FSR), and conversion time (9.4µs). Operation outside this range requires consultation of the MAX195BEWE or MAX195AEDE variants.
How does the MAX195BCWE+ achieve its 16-bit no-missing-codes performance?
The MAX195BCWE+ achieves guaranteed no-missing-codes performance through a combination of capacitor-array trimming during production and digitally stored per-capacitor calibration data. Its 16-bit SAR architecture with dummy LSB and ten calibration DACs corrects monotonicity errors across temperature, ensuring all 65,536 codes appear within the specified ±3LSB INL limit over 0°C to +70°C.
Can the MAX195BCWE+ operate with a single +5V supply?
No, the MAX195BCWE+ requires dual analog and digital supplies: VDDA/VDDD = +4.75V to +5.25V and VSSA/VSSD = −5.25V to −4.75V. Its internal comparator and capacitive DAC depend on symmetric ±5V rails to support the full ±VREF bipolar input range and maintain specified THD (−90dB) and SINAD (90dB). Single-supply operation is not supported.
What is the purpose of the BP/UP/SHDN pin on the MAX195BCWE+?
The BP/UP/SHDN pin on the MAX195BCWE+ serves three distinct functions: floating configures bipolar input range (−VREF to +VREF); driven to VDDD selects unipolar range (0V to VREF); pulled to 0V activates 10µA shutdown mode. This single-pin tri-state control eliminates external logic or firmware configuration overhead while preserving calibration data during low-power states.
Does the MAX195BCWE+ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the MAX195BCWE+ requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin, ranging from 0V to +5V. It does not include an internal reference. For optimal performance, the reference must drive >1000pF dynamic load at conversion clock frequency and present <1Ω impedance at REF-typically achieved using a buffered low-ESR capacitor network (e.g., 47µF + 0.1µF).
