Product details
Overview
MAXQ7667AACM/V+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit RISC microcontroller-based ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) distance-measuring SoC optimized for large-range, weak-signal, and multi-target applications. It integrates a programmable burst generator (25–100 kHz), echo reception path (LNA + 16-bit sigma-delta ADC), digital signal processing (bandpass/lowpass filters, envelope demodulation), and an embedded MAXQ20 core-all operating across –40°C to +125°C in automotive-grade 48-pin LQFP.
For engineers reviewing the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ datasheet, MAXQ7667AACM/V+ pinout, MAXQ7667AACM/V+ application, or MAXQ7667AACM/V+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its input-referred noise (0.7 µVRMS), programmable gain LNA (0.1–1.55 µVP-P/LSB), 5-channel 12-bit SAR ADC (250 ksps), triple-supply operation (+2.5V/+3.3V/+5V), and integrated LIN/UART interfaces for vehicle proximity sensing.
Technical Context
The MAXQ7667AACM/V+ implements a closed-loop smart sensing architecture: its embedded 16-bit MAXQ20 microcontroller dynamically adjusts burst frequency and echo reception parameters-including PLL-synthesized reference clock, VGA gain, and bandpass center frequency-in real time based on environmental and target conditions. This eliminates CPU intervention for digital filtering and burst synthesis, reserving full MCU resources for optimization, diagnostics, and communication.
Its analog front-end features dual ADC paths: a 16-bit sigma-delta ADC (80 × fBPF sampling rate) for high-resolution echo digitization and a 12-bit SAR ADC (250 ksps) with internal bandgap reference for auxiliary sensor monitoring. The device supports three independent supply domains (DVDD, AVDD, DVDDIO), each with dedicated linear regulators and brownout supervision.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrasonic distance-measuring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDC1000IPWR | Separate analog front-end (no integrated MCU); requires external processor for echo processing and control logic. | Lacks embedded RISC core and LIN/UART-suitable only when host MCU handles DSP, communication, and calibration. | Select when system already includes a capable host processor and maximum flexibility in algorithm implementation is required. |

The MAXQ7667AACM/V+ serves as a complete time-of-flight ultrasonic distance-measuring SoC. It integrates a programmable burst generator, echo reception chain (LNA + 16-bit sigma-delta ADC), digital signal processor (bandpass/lowpass filters, envelope demodulation), and an embedded 16-bit MAXQ20 microcontroller. Its core function is autonomous, adaptive echo acquisition and distance calculation-without requiring external processing for fundamental ToF operations. The MAXQ7667AACM/V+ enables robust large-range measurements even with weak input signals or multiple targets.
Does the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ support automotive-grade temperature operation?
Yes, the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ is explicitly qualified for automotive use with the '/V' suffix indicating AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance. It operates reliably from –40°C to +125°C across all electrical specifications, including echo input noise (0.7 µVRMS), burst frequency stability, and regulator output accuracy. Its internal supply supervisors feature temperature-compensated thresholds, and the device includes automotive-specific interfaces such as LIN 2.0-making the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ suitable for parking assist, blind-spot detection, and other under-hood or exterior vehicle applications.
How does the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ handle power supply flexibility for automotive battery inputs?
The MAXQ7667AACM/V+ supports wide-input automotive battery operation through its GATE5 terminal, which controls an external NPN or nMOS pass transistor to regulate DVDDIO from +8V to +65V. Internally, it integrates +2.5V (REG2P5) and +3.3V (REG3P3) linear regulators-enabling full functionality from a single +5V supply when external rails are unavailable. This dual-path architecture allows the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ to operate directly from raw vehicle battery while maintaining clean, isolated analog and digital domains-critical for noise-sensitive ultrasonic measurements.
What interfaces does the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ provide for system communication?
The MAXQ7667AACM/V+ provides hardware-supported LIN 2.0 and UART interfaces on dedicated pins (UTX/URX/TXEN), enabling direct connection to automotive networks without external transceivers in many cases. It also includes a full SPI master/slave interface (MOSI/MISO/SCLK/SS) and JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO) for programming and debugging. All digital I/Os are configurable with programmable pull-ups/pull-downs and hysteresis. These interfaces allow the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ to serve as a standalone node or integrate seamlessly into larger systems-whether reporting distance over LIN or streaming raw echo data via SPI.
Can the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ process multiple ultrasonic echoes from different targets?
Yes, the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ is explicitly optimized for multiple target identification. Its digital signal processing pipeline-including programmable bandpass filtering (25–100 kHz center), lowpass filtering, and envelope demodulation-preserves echo timing and amplitude fidelity across overlapping returns. Combined with the embedded MAXQ20 microcontroller's ability to execute custom echo analysis algorithms (e.g., peak detection, time-windowed amplitude tracking), the MAXQ7667AACM/V+ can distinguish and resolve discrete echoes from multiple objects at varying distances-making it suitable for complex environments like cluttered parking lots or industrial bins with layered materials.
