Product details
Overview
MX574AJCWI+ from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with on-chip buried-zener reference (10V ±2mV), internal clock, and BiCMOS construction. It delivers 25μs max conversion time, ±1/2 LSB integral nonlinearity at +25°C, and supports ±5V/±10V bipolar or 0–+10V/0–+20V unipolar input ranges via pin strapping. It is used in high-accuracy process control systems requiring stable analog-to-digital conversion under industrial temperature conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MX574AJCWI+ datasheet, MX574AJCWI+ pinout, MX574AJCWI+ application, or MX574AJCWI+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world interface timing, package-specific layout guidance, and validated alternative options for embedded data acquisition and DSP subsystems.
Technical Context
The MX574AJCWI+ employs a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with a 2.5kΩ-output DAC and zero-crossing comparator. Its internal 10V reference exhibits 10ppm/°C drift and supplies up to 2mA for external REFIN/BIPOFF loads when operated from ±15V supplies.
It supports three operational modes: full microprocessor interface (using CS, CE, R/C, A0, 12/8), 8-bit bus interleave (left-justified, MSB/LSB split), and stand-alone mode (R/C-controlled). Conversion start and data read are decoupled, with STS indicating busy status and enabling interrupt-driven polling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes with no missing codes over temperature. |
| Max Conversion Time | 25μs - defines minimum sampling interval for continuous acquisition at ≤40kSPS. |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±1/2 LSB (TA = +25°C, K/L/T/U grade) - ensures monotonicity and <0.012% full-scale linearity error. |
| Reference Output | 10.00V ±2mV (no load) - precision low-drift source enabling self-contained calibration without external voltage references. |
| Power Dissipation | 150mW (VCC = +15V, VEE = –15V) - enables operation in thermally constrained industrial enclosures without forced cooling. |
| Analog Input Range | Selectable ±5V or ±10V bipolar / 0–+10V or 0–+20V unipolar - accommodates standard sensor outputs and industrial signal levels without external scaling. |
| Digital Interface | Three-state parallel outputs (D0–D11), 12/8 and A0 configurable for 8-bit bus interleave or 12-bit word - eliminates need for external latches or glue logic in 8-bit microcontroller systems. |
Pinout & Package
MX574AJCWI+ is housed in a 28-pin wide-body SOIC (SOIC-W) package with 0.300" body width and standard JEDEC MO-013AC footprint. Pin spacing is 0.050", lead finish is matte tin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VL | Logic supply input (+4.5V to +5.5V) - powers digital core and output buffers; must be decoupled locally to DGND. |
| 2 | 12/8 | Data format select - low enables 8-bit bus interleave (MSB byte at even address, LSB nibble + zeros at odd); high enables 12-bit word output. |
| 3 | CS | Chip-select input - active-low enable; must be asserted with CE and R/C for valid control sequencing. |
| 4 | A0 | Byte address/short-cycle input - low initiates 12-bit conversion; high initiates 8-bit conversion; also selects MSB/LSB byte during read. |
| 5 | R/C | Read/Convert control - low starts conversion; high enables data read; determines mode (full control vs. stand-alone). |
| 6 | CE | Chip-enable input - active-high; faster propagation than CS; primary signal for initiating conversions and reads. |
| 7 | VCC | Positive analog supply (+11.4V to +16.5V) - powers SAR, DAC, and reference; requires 4.7μF + 0.1μF decoupling to AGND. |
| 8 | REFOUT | +10V reference output - low-noise, low-drift zener source; drives REFIN and BIPOFF; can supply 2mA total load. |
| 9 | AGND | Analog ground - reference point for REFOUT, REFIN, BIPOFF, and analog inputs; must be tied to system analog star ground. |
| 10 | REFIN | Reference input - accepts external reference or connects to REFOUT for internal reference use; 50Ω resistor required for bipolar offset calibration. |
| 11 | VEE | Negative analog supply (–11.4V to –16.5V) - powers analog circuitry; requires same decoupling as VCC to AGND. |
| 12 | BIPOFF | Bipolar offset input - connects to REFOUT for ±5V/±10V operation; enables offset trimming via external 50Ω resistor. |
| 13 | 10VIN | 10V-span analog input - 5kΩ input impedance; used with AGND for 0–+10V or ±5V ranges. |
| 14 | 20VIN | 20V-span analog input - 10kΩ input impedance; used with AGND for 0–+20V or ±10V ranges; requires minimal capacitance on 10VIN. |
| 15 | DGND | Digital ground - reference for VL, D0–D11, and logic inputs; connected to AGND at single point near package. |
| 16–27 | D0–D11 | Three-state data outputs - CMOS-compatible, 150ns max access time; driven only when CE and R/C are high and CS is low. |
| 28 | STS | Status output - open-drain, active-high during conversion; used for polling or interrupt generation; transitions low at conversion completion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 10V buried-zener reference | 10ppm/°C tempco and ±2mV initial accuracy eliminate need for external reference ICs and reduce BOM count by one component. |
| Pin-strappable input ranges | Hardware-selectable ±5V, ±10V, 0–+10V, or 0–+20V operation avoids firmware configuration overhead and ensures deterministic analog interface behavior. |
| BiCMOS process technology | Reduces power dissipation to 150mW - 3× lower than comparable bipolar ADCs - enabling higher channel density in space-constrained PLC modules. |
| 8-bit bus interleave mode | Native left-justified 12-bit output split across two 8-bit cycles (MSB byte, then LSB nibble + zeros) removes requirement for external data latches in 8051/AVR-based designs. |
| Stand-alone R/C control mode | Enables direct microcontroller GPIO connection without address decoding logic - simplifies integration into FPGA- or CPLD-based data loggers. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7892BRZ-1 | 2µs conversion time, 5V-only supply, no internal reference - requires external 10V ref and level-shifting for ±15V analog front-end. | Optimized for low-voltage, high-speed portable systems; lacks bipolar input support and industrial temp range. | Select when speed >25μs is critical and system already uses 5V analog rails and external reference infrastructure. |
| ADS7800U | 10μs conversion, ±12V analog supply compatible, internal 2.5V ref - needs external gain/level-shift for ±10V inputs; no buried-zener stability. | Targets precision data logging with lower power (100mW), but requires external op-amps for full-scale range adaptation. | Select when cost-sensitive industrial designs prioritize lower power and accept added analog conditioning complexity. |
Compared with MX574AJCWI+, AD7892BRZ-1 offers faster throughput but demands redesign of reference and supply architecture, while ADS7800U reduces power at the expense of input flexibility and long-term drift performance - making MX574AJCWI+ optimal for drop-in replacement in legacy ±15V industrial systems requiring proven 10ppm/°C stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MX574AJCWI+?
The MX574AJCWI+ is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C (commercial grade). This is confirmed by the "J" suffix in the part number per Maxim's ordering guide, which maps to the 0°C to +70°C temperature range. The device maintains specified INL, conversion time, and reference accuracy across this full range.
Does the MX574AJCWI+ require external clock circuitry?
No, the MX574AJCWI+ does not require external clock circuitry. It integrates a complete clock generator internally, enabling autonomous conversion operation. The typical internal clock frequency is approximately 600kHz, supporting the specified 25μs maximum conversion time without any external timing components.
Can the MX574AJCWI+ interface directly with an 8-bit microcontroller bus?
Yes, the MX574AJCWI+ supports direct 8-bit bus interfacing via its 12/8 and A0 pins. When 12/8 is low, it outputs the 8 MSBs on the first read cycle (A0 = 0) and the 4 LSBs followed by four zeros on the second (A0 = 1), eliminating the need for external latches or data alignment logic in 8051 or PIC-based systems.
What analog input ranges does the MX574AJCWI+ support, and how are they selected?
The MX574AJCWI+ supports ±5V, ±10V, 0–+10V, and 0–+20V input ranges. Selection is achieved via pin strapping: connecting BIPOFF to REFOUT enables bipolar mode; choosing 10VIN or 20VIN as the signal input terminal sets the span. No software configuration is needed - the range is determined solely by external connections.
Is the internal reference of the MX574AJCWI+ suitable for driving external circuitry?
Yes, the internal 10V reference (REFOUT) of the MX574AJCWI+ can supply up to 2mA total current for external loads, including the REFIN and BIPOFF inputs. However, this capability is guaranteed only when operating from ±15V supplies; with ±12V supplies, REFOUT can drive only REFIN and BIPOFF, not additional external circuitry.
