Product details
Overview
MAX195BCWE+T from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit successive-approximation ADC with 85ksps sampling rate, 9.4µs conversion time, ±3LSB integral nonlinearity, and 10µA shutdown current. It features pin-selectable unipolar (0V to VREF) or bipolar (–VREF to +VREF) input range, built-in track/hold, and separate analog/digital supplies for noise isolation-used in portable instrumentation and medical signal acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX195BCWE+T datasheet, MAX195BCWE+T pinout, MAX195BCWE+T application, or MAX195BCWE+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its SAR architecture, dual-supply operation (±5V), serial interface timing at up to 5Mbps, and calibration-corrected DC accuracy over 0°C to +70°C.
Technical Context
The MAX195BCWE+T implements a capacitive-DAC SAR architecture with 16 binary-weighted capacitors plus one dummy LSB capacitor. Calibration uses ten dedicated DACs to correct MSB array errors, storing compensation codes digitally for temperature-stable linearity without external trim.
Its digital interface supports two serial read modes: synchronous bit-by-bit output during conversion (CLK-driven) or asynchronous post-conversion readout (SCLK-driven, up to 5MHz). The BP/UP/SHDN pin configures input range or enables 10µA shutdown-floating = bipolar, high = unipolar, low = shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16 bits - guarantees no missing codes across full scale, enabling precise measurement of small signal changes. |
| Sampling Rate | 85ksps - supports real-time capture of audio-band and vibration signals without aliasing up to 42.5kHz. |
| SINAD | 90dB (typ) - delivers >14.9 effective number of bits (ENOB) for high-fidelity signal digitization. |
| Conversion Time | 9.4µs - defines minimum inter-conversion interval; enables continuous sampling at maximum throughput. |
| INL | ±3LSB (max) - limits absolute code error to <0.046% of full scale, critical for calibrated transducer systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 10µA (max) - reduces system power by >99% during idle periods, essential for battery-powered instruments. |
| Input Range | Pin-selectable unipolar (0V to VREF) or bipolar (–VREF to +VREF) - eliminates need for external level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
MAX195BCWE+T is housed in a 16-pin wide SO (Small Outline) package with 300mil body width and standard 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BP/UP/SHDN) | Bipolar/Unipolar/Shutdown control | Three-state logic input: floating = bipolar mode, VDDA = unipolar, 0V = 10µA shutdown. |
| 2 (CLK) | Conversion clock input | Drives internal SAR logic; 1.7MHz max frequency with 25–75% duty cycle required for full-spec operation. |
| 3 (SCLK) | Serial clock input | Asynchronous clock for post-conversion data readout; supports up to 5MHz for 16-bit transfer in ≤3.2µs. |
| 4 (VDDD) | +5V digital supply | Power for digital logic and serial interface; must be decoupled locally to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 5 (DOUT) | Serial data output | Three-state MSB-first output enabled only when CS is low; compatible with SPI/QSPI framing. |
| 6 (DGND) | Digital ground reference | Separate from AGND to prevent digital return currents from modulating analog reference paths. |
| 7 (EOC) | End-of-conversion indicator | Active-high pulse signals completion; used to trigger interrupts or auto-restart conversions via CONV tieback. |
| 8 (CS) | Chip select input | Active-low enable for DOUT three-state buffer and serial interface; allows multi-device bus sharing. |
| 9 (CONV) | Convert-start input | Falling-edge-triggered; initiates acquisition and conversion sequence synchronized to CLK edge. |
| 10 (RESET) | Calibration reset input | Rising edge triggers full internal calibration (8.2ms at 1.7MHz); halts operation when held low. |
| 11 (VSSD) | –5V digital supply | Negative rail for digital logic; requires symmetric decoupling with VDDD to maintain logic threshold stability. |
| 12 (REF) | Reference voltage input | Accepts 0V to +5V; drives 1000pF+ dynamic load during conversion; requires low-impedance buffering. |
| 13 (AIN) | Analog input | Capacitive input (250pF unipolar); accepts ±5V bipolar or 0–5V unipolar range depending on BP/UP/SHDN state. |
| 14 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Star-point ground for analog section; must be isolated from DGND except at single-point system ground. |
| 15 (VSSA) | –5V analog supply | Negative rail for analog front-end; matched to VSSD to preserve common-mode rejection in differential paths. |
| 16 (VDDA) | +5V analog supply | Positive rail for analog circuitry; powers internal DAC and comparator; requires ultra-low-noise regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in track/hold | Capacitive-DAC architecture inherently samples and holds input during acquisition-no external THS required. |
| Auto-calibration | Digitally stores per-capacitor correction codes at power-up or RESET; maintains ±3LSB INL over 0°C to +70°C. |
| Separate analog/digital supplies | VDDA/VSSA and VDDD/VSSD rails isolate noise-sensitive analog core from digital switching transients. |
| Three-state serial output | DOUT tri-states when CS is high, enabling direct connection to shared microcontroller SPI buses without buffers. |
| Pin-selectable input range | Single BP/UP/SHDN pin configures bipolar (±VREF), unipolar (0–VREF), or shutdown-reducing BOM count. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1MSPS, single-supply (2.5–5V), no internal reference, 1.5µA shutdown. | Higher speed but lacks bipolar input and auto-calibration; requires external reference and precision op-amps. | Choose for high-throughput, single-supply systems where board space is constrained and calibration is managed externally. |
| AD7606BSTZ | 16-bit, 200kSPS, simultaneous sampling, integrated reference, ±10V input range, 25mW active power. | Multi-channel (8-ch), oversampling-capable, but larger footprint and higher power; no shutdown mode. | Choose for multi-sensor data loggers needing channel synchronization and factory-trimmed reference stability. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX195BCWE+T?
The MAX195BCWE+T is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table, where MAX195BCWE denotes the "C" grade (0°C to +70°C) in a 16-pin wide SO package. Performance parameters including INL (±3LSB), SINAD (90dB), and conversion time (9.4µs) are guaranteed across this full range after internal calibration.
Does the MAX195BCWE+T require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the MAX195BCWE+T requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin. It accepts 0V to +5V (up to VDDA), and performance specifications assume a stable, low-impedance reference-such as a buffered MAX6241 or MAX874 with 1µF low-ESR + 0.1µF ceramic bypass. The device does not include an internal reference; REF directly sets full-scale range for both unipolar and bipolar modes.
How does the BP/UP/SHDN pin configure input range and shutdown on the MAX195BCWE+T?
On the MAX195BCWE+T, Pin 1 (BP/UP/SHDN) is a three-level control: left floating → bipolar input range (–VREF to +VREF); tied to VDDA → unipolar range (0V to VREF); pulled to 0V → 10µA shutdown mode. This single pin eliminates external logic or jumpers, enabling hardware-configurable signal conditioning and ultra-low-power standby in portable systems.
What serial interface protocols does the MAX195BCWE+T support?
The MAX195BCWE+T supports SPI-compatible serial communication using two independent clocks: CLK for synchronous bit-read during conversion, and SCLK for asynchronous post-conversion readout (up to 5MHz). It is explicitly documented as compatible with SPI™ and QSPI™ interfaces, with configurable CPOL/CPHA modes (Figures 6 and 7), and requires only CS, DOUT, CLK/SCLK, and EOC for full functionality.
Is calibration required before first use of the MAX195BCWE+T?
Yes, the MAX195BCWE+T performs automatic calibration on power-up, completing in ~8.2ms at 1.7MHz CLK. If supply voltages settle slowly (>500ns), calibration may be incomplete-requiring a manual RESET pulse to reinitialize. Recalibration is recommended after significant ambient temperature shifts (>10°C) or reference voltage changes, as stored digital correction codes compensate for analog drift in the capacitor DAC array.
