Product details
Overview
MX574AKEWI+ from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with integrated buried-zener reference (10V ±2mV), internal clock, and BiCMOS process. 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 industrial data acquisition systems requiring stable on-chip reference and microprocessor-compatible 8-/12-/16-bit bus interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the MX574AKEWI+ datasheet, MX574AKEWI+ pinout, MX574AKEWI+ application, or MX574AKEWI+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25μs conversion time, ±1/2 LSB INL over temperature, 10ppm/°C reference drift, 150mW power dissipation, and compatibility with ±12V/±15V dual supplies and +5V logic interface.
Technical Context
The MX574AKEWI+ implements a 12-bit SAR architecture with an internal 2.5kΩ-output-impedance DAC and zero-crossing comparator. Conversion is initiated by R/C low pulse in stand-alone mode or CE/CS-controlled full-control mode, with status indicated by STS output. The internal 10V reference provides low-noise, low-drift performance without external trimming for most applications.
It supports flexible digital interfacing: 12/8 pin selects 12-bit word or split 8-bit byte output; A0 controls MSB/LSB byte selection during reads and 12-/8-bit conversion length during starts. Input range configuration is achieved solely through external pin strapping-no register programming required-making it suitable for fixed-function embedded measurement nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - delivers 4096 discrete codes with no missing codes over full operating temperature range. |
| Max Conversion Time | 25 μs - defines minimum sampling period for real-time control loops with ≤40 kSPS throughput. |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±1/2 LSB (typ.) - ensures end-point accuracy within ±0.012% of full scale, critical for calibration-grade instrumentation. |
| Reference Output | 10.00 V ±2 mV (no load) - precision internal zener reference eliminates need for external voltage reference ICs. |
| Power Dissipation | 150 mW at ±15V supplies - enables operation in thermally constrained industrial enclosures without forced cooling. |
| Analog Input Range | Selectable ±5V, ±10V, 0–+10V, or 0–+20V - accommodates diverse sensor outputs (e.g., strain gauges, RTDs, LVDTs) without signal conditioning. |
| Digital Interface | Three-state parallel outputs (D0–D11), CS/CE/R/C/12/8/A0 control - directly interfaces to 8-bit microcontrollers (byte mode) or 16-bit processors (word mode). |
Pinout & Package
MX574AKEWI+ is supplied in a 28-pin wide-body SOIC (SOIC-W) package with 0.300-inch body width and standard JEDEC MO-013AC outline. Pin spacing is 0.050 inch, and the package is RoHS-compliant and Pb-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VL) | Logic supply input | +5V digital interface supply; must be decoupled locally to DGND to prevent digital noise coupling into analog section. |
| 3 (CS), 6 (CE) | Chip select / chip enable | CS enables device when low; CE enables read/convert when high - both required active for full bus control; CE preferred for faster timing. |
| 5 (R/C) | Read/Convert control | Low = start conversion; high = enable data read - also serves as primary control in stand-alone mode. |
| 8 (REFOUT) | Internal reference output | 10V ±2mV source for BIPOFF and REFIN; capable of driving 2mA total load including external circuitry. |
| 9 (AGND), 15 (DGND) | Analog/digital ground | Must be connected at single point near package; AGND is reference for internal DAC and comparator - separation prevents ground bounce errors. |
| 12 (BIPOFF) | Bipolar offset input | Connected to REFOUT for ±5V/±10V operation; sets midpoint of bipolar transfer function; adjustable via external resistor network. |
| 13 (10VIN), 14 (20VIN) | Analog input terminals | 10VIN accepts 0–+10V or ±5V; 20VIN accepts 0–+20V or ±10V - input impedance is 5kΩ (10VIN) or 10kΩ (20VIN); unused pin must be left open. |
| 16–27 (D0–D11) | Three-state data outputs | 12-bit parallel output; latched after conversion; controlled by CE/R/C to avoid bus contention during conversion. |
| 28 (STS) | Status output | Active-high open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; used for polling or interrupt generation - transitions low at conversion completion. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7892BRZ-1 | 2µs conversion time, 5V single supply, no internal reference - requires external 2.5V ref; 12-bit, ±1 LSB INL. | Optimized for low-latency, battery-powered portable instruments; lacks bipolar input support and on-chip clock. | Select when ultra-fast sampling (>400 kSPS) and single-supply operation outweigh need for integrated reference and bipolar range. |
| ADS7822U | 2.5μs conversion, SPI interface, 5V supply, internal reference - 12-bit, ±0.5 LSB INL, but only unipolar 0–VREF input. | Suited for microcontroller-based systems with limited GPIO; no parallel bus or bipolar capability. | Choose for space-constrained designs needing serial interface and lower power (12mW), accepting loss of ±V input and parallel throughput. |
Compared with AD7892BRZ-1 and ADS7822U, MX574AKEWI+ offers unique integration of bipolar input support, on-chip 10V reference, and parallel microprocessor interface - making it optimal for industrial rack-mounted DAQ where reliability, calibration stability, and bus compatibility are prioritized over raw speed or footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MX574AKEWI+?
The MX574AKEWI+ is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade). This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Operating Temperature Ranges" for MX_74AJE/KE/LE variants, which includes the KE suffix in MX574AKEWI+. The device maintains ±1/2 LSB INL and 10ppm/°C reference stability across this full range, enabling deployment in harsh factory-floor environments without derating.
Does the MX574AKEWI+ require external components for basic operation?
Yes, but minimally: only decoupling capacitors (0.1µF ceramic + 4.7µF tantalum per supply rail) and fixed resistors (50Ω between REFOUT and REFIN/BIPOFF for bipolar operation) are required. The MX574AKEWI+ integrates clock, 10V reference, and SAR core - eliminating need for external oscillator, reference IC, or timing logic. No trimming potentiometers are needed for standard ±5V or 0–+10V use.
How does the MX574AKEWI+ handle bipolar versus unipolar input configurations?
The MX574AKEWI+ uses pin strapping - not registers - to configure input range. For bipolar (±5V/±10V), connect BIPOFF to REFOUT and apply signal to 10VIN or 20VIN. For unipolar (0–+10V/0–+20V), tie BIPOFF to AGND and apply signal to same input pin. Coding is offset binary for bipolar, straight binary for unipolar - both defined in Table 3 of the datasheet with exact transition voltages.
Can the MX574AKEWI+ interface directly with an 8-bit microcontroller bus?
Yes. With 12/8 pin low, the MX574AKEWI+ outputs data in two 8-bit bytes: A0 low enables the high byte (D11–D4), A0 high enables the low byte (D3–D0 padded with four zeros). This eliminates need for external latches or bus transceivers. The 150ns access time and three-state outputs ensure clean timing with common 8-bit MCUs like the 8051 or PIC18F without wait states.
What is the purpose of the STS pin on the MX574AKEWI+?
The STS (Status) pin is an active-high, open-drain output that goes high at conversion start and returns low upon completion. It provides hardware handshaking for microprocessors - enabling either polling (checking STS before reading data) or interrupt-driven operation (using STS edge to trigger ISR). Its timing is guaranteed to 320ns max delay from CE assertion, ensuring deterministic synchronization in real-time systems.
