Product details
Overview
MX574AKP+ from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with integrated 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 - used in high-accuracy process control and industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MX574AKP+ datasheet, MX574AKP+ pinout, MX574AKP+ application, or MX574AKP+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150mW power dissipation at ±15V supplies, 150ns max data access time, 10ppm/°C reference TC, and compatibility with 8-/12-/16-bit microprocessor buses using CS/CE/R/C control logic.
Technical Context
The MX574AKP+ employs a SAR architecture with a 2.5kΩ-output DAC and zero-crossing comparator. Conversion is initiated by R/C low pulse in stand-alone mode or CE/CS-controlled full bus interface, with STS indicating busy status. Input settling is managed via external 5kΩ (10VIN) or 10kΩ (20VIN) series resistors and internal reference routing to REFIN/BIPOFF.
It operates across three supply domains: VCC (+12V/+15V), VEE (−12V/−15V), and VL (+5V), with separate AGND and DGND pins requiring single-point connection per layout guidelines. Analog input impedance is 3–7kΩ (10VIN) or 6–14kΩ (20VIN); digital outputs are three-state with 0.4V VOL (1.6mA sink) and 4V VOH (500μA source).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees 1 LSB = 2.44mV (0–10V) or 4.88mV (0–20V/±10V) quantization step size |
| Max Conversion Time | 25 μs - defines minimum sampling period for 40 kSPS continuous acquisition |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±1/2 LSB (TA = +25°C, K/L/T/U grade) - ensures monotonicity and no missing codes over temperature |
| Reference Output | 10.00 V ±2 mV (no load) - provides stable, low-drift excitation for precision analog front-ends |
| Power Dissipation | 150 mW (VCC = +15V, VEE = −15V) - enables operation without forced cooling in compact industrial enclosures |
| Analog Input Range | Selectable ±5V, ±10V, 0–10V, or 0–20V via pin strapping - eliminates external level-shifting circuitry |
| Data Access Time | 150 ns (CL = 100pF) - supports direct interfacing to 8-MHz microprocessor buses without wait states |
Pinout & Package
MX574AKP+ is supplied in a 28-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with 0.6-inch width, compliant with JEDEC MS-001. Pin spacing is 0.1 inch; body dimensions are 1.375 × 0.600 × 0.220 inches.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VL | Logic supply input - powers digital core and output buffers at +5V; must be decoupled locally |
| 2 | 12/8 | Data format select - low = 8-bit bus mode (two-byte read), high = 12-bit word output |
| 3 | CS | Chip-select input - active-low enable; ignored unless CE is also asserted |
| 4 | A0 | Byte address/short-cycle control - sets 12-bit (low) or 8-bit (high) conversion length during start |
| 5 | R/C | Read/Convert control - low = initiate conversion, high = enable data read |
| 6 | CE | Chip-enable input - active-high primary control; faster than CS for timing-critical applications |
| 7 | VCC | Positive analog supply - +12V or +15V; requires 4.7μF + 0.1μF decoupling to AGND |
| 8 | REFOUT | +10V reference output - drives REFIN and BIPOFF; can source up to 2mA with ±15V supplies |
| 9 | AGND | Analog ground reference - must connect directly to system analog ground point |
| 10 | REFIN | Reference input - tied to REFOUT for internal reference use; accepts external 10V sources |
| 11 | VEE | Negative analog supply - −12V or −15V; decoupled separately to AGND |
| 12 | BIPOFF | Bipolar offset input - connected to REFOUT to configure ±5V/±10V input range |
| 13 | 10VIN | 10V-span analog input - used with 5kΩ series resistor for 0–10V or ±5V operation |
| 14 | 20VIN | 20V-span analog input - used with 10kΩ series resistor for 0–20V or ±10V operation |
| 15 | DGND | Digital ground - bonded to AGND at single point under IC to minimize noise coupling |
| 16–27 | D0–D11 | Three-state data outputs - latched 12-bit result; output format controlled by A0 and 12/8 |
| 28 | STS | Status output - high during conversion, low when data is valid and ready to read |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7874KNZ | 12-bit SAR ADC with 10μs conversion time, external reference required, 24-pin SOIC package | Requires external 10V reference and clock; lacks pin-strappable input ranges | Choose when faster conversion (100 kSPS) is needed and board space permits extra components |
| MAX1167BCAP+ | 16-bit SAR ADC, 10μs conversion, internal reference, 20-pin TSSOP, lower power (12mW) | Higher resolution but slower effective throughput due to longer conversion; no ±10V input support | Choose for higher precision in low-noise DC measurements where ±10V range is not required |
Compared with AD7874KNZ and MAX1167BCAP+, the MX574AKP+ uniquely integrates reference, clock, and input-range configuration in a single PDIP package - reducing BOM count and layout complexity for industrial DAQ systems needing ±10V or 0–20V inputs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MX574AKP+?
The MX574AKP+ 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 suffixes, which match the K-grade designation in the MX574AKP+ ordering code.
Does the MX574AKP+ require external passive components for basic operation?
Yes - the MX574AKP+ requires external decoupling capacitors (4.7μF tantalum + 0.1μF ceramic per supply rail) and fixed resistors (50Ω between REFOUT and REFIN/BIPOFF for bipolar operation). No external clock or reference IC is needed, as both are integrated.
How does the MX574AKP+ handle bipolar versus unipolar input configurations?
The MX574AKP+ selects input range via pin strapping: connecting BIPOFF to REFOUT enables ±5V or ±10V bipolar mode; leaving BIPOFF open or grounded configures 0–10V or 0–20V unipolar mode. The 10VIN/20VIN pins determine span, and coding is offset binary (bipolar) or straight binary (unipolar).
Can the MX574AKP+ interface directly with an 8-bit microcontroller bus?
Yes - setting the 12/8 pin low configures the MX574AKP+ for 8-bit bus operation. Data is split into two bytes: A0 low reads the 8 MSBs at even addresses; A0 high reads the 4 LSBs followed by four zeros at odd addresses - no software masking required.
What is the purpose of the STS pin on the MX574AKP+?
The STS (Status) pin on the MX574AKP+ is an open-drain output that goes high during conversion and returns low when the 12-bit result is latched and ready for readout. It enables interrupt-driven or polled data acquisition without timing guesswork.
