Product details
Overview
MX7572JCWG12 from Maxim Integrated is a complete high-speed CMOS 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with parallel interface, 12.5 MSPS sampling rate, ±0.5 LSB integral nonlinearity (INL), and SOIC-24 package rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. It serves as a precision data acquisition front-end in real-time signal digitization systems requiring low power and fast throughput.
For engineers reviewing the MX7572JCWG12 datasheet, MX7572JCWG12 pinout, MX7572JCWG12 application, or MX7572JCWG12 equivalent, this device is selected for embedded instrumentation, digital oscilloscope channels, and high-fidelity data loggers where resolution, speed, and single-supply compatibility are critical.
Technical Context
The MX7572JCWG12 implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with internal track-and-hold, enabling accurate conversion without external sample-hold circuitry. It features TTL/CMOS-compatible parallel output and operates from a single +5V supply.
Its input range is 0V to +5V (unipolar) with reference derived internally or externally via VREF pin; conversion time is fixed at 80 ns, supporting deterministic timing in synchronous digital systems. The device includes a BUSY output for handshaking and supports three-state output drivers for direct bus interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Pinout & Package
MX7572JCWG12 is housed in a 24-pin small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package with 300-mil body width and standard 0.050" lead pitch. Thermal resistance θJA is 110°C/W under JEDEC JESD51-7 conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND | Analog Ground | Reference return for analog input and internal reference; must be isolated from digital ground to minimize noise coupling. |
| DGND | Digital Ground | Return path for logic outputs and control inputs; connects to system digital ground plane. |
| VCC | Positive Supply | +5V power for both analog and digital sections; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling. |
| IN | Analog Input | Single-ended unipolar input (0V to +5V); accepts full-scale signal without external level-shifting. |
| VREF | Reference Input/Output | Accepts external 5V reference or provides internal 5V reference when left open or tied to VCC. |
| BUSY | Status Output | Active-high signal indicating conversion in progress; used for asynchronous read synchronization. |
| RD | Read Strobe | Active-low control that latches conversion result onto data bus when BUSY goes low. |
| D0–D11 | Parallel Data Outputs | 12-bit TTL/CMOS-compatible digital output bus; three-state controlled by RD and CS. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for output drivers; allows multiple converters on shared data bus. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, parallel-output ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7821JRZ | 10-bit resolution, 1.25 MSPS max sampling rate, SOIC-24, +5V supply | Limited to lower-speed, lower-resolution applications such as basic sensor readout or slow-control feedback. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs resolution/speed needs and 10-bit accuracy suffices. |
| MAX1186ECM+ | 12-bit, 40 MSPS, serial LVDS output, 40-pin QFN, +3.3V supply | Requires FPGA with LVDS receiver and clock-data recovery; not pin-compatible or bus-compatible. | Choose for higher-speed systems needing >12.5 MSPS or space-constrained layouts where serial interface is acceptable. |
Compared with AD7821JRZ and MAX1186ECM+, the MX7572JCWG12 uniquely balances 12-bit precision, 12.5 MSPS throughput, and TTL/CMOS parallel interface in a legacy-compatible SOIC-24 package-making it optimal for upgrading existing 12-bit data acquisition designs without PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the MX7572JCWG12?
The MX7572JCWG12 supports a maximum sampling rate of 12.5 million samples per second (MSPS). This rate is achievable with proper clock edge timing and stable VCC and reference conditions. At this rate, the MX7572JCWG12 maintains its specified ±0.5 LSB INL and 80 ns conversion time, making it suitable for real-time digitization in oscilloscopes and high-speed data loggers.
Does the MX7572JCWG12 require an external reference voltage?
No, the MX7572JCWG12 does not require an external reference voltage. It includes an internal 5V reference that activates automatically when the VREF pin is left open or tied to VCC. An external reference can be applied if tighter accuracy or temperature stability is needed, but the MX7572JCWG12 functions fully self-contained with internal reference enabled.
Is the MX7572JCWG12 RoHS-compliant?
The MX7572JCWG12 is not marked RoHS/lead-free in official Maxim ordering information. Its suffix "JCWG12" indicates a standard SOIC-24 package with leaded finish. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consider MX7572JCWG12+ or MX7572JCWG12+T variants, which carry the "+" or "+T" suffix denoting lead-free construction per Maxim's part numbering conventions.
Can the MX7572JCWG12 interface directly with a microcontroller's parallel port?
Yes, the MX7572JCWG12 interfaces directly with microcontrollers featuring a parallel I/O port. Its D0–D11 outputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible, and control signals (RD, CS, BUSY) align with standard memory-mapped or I/O-strobe protocols. No level shifters or bus transceivers are required when interfacing with 5V-tolerant MCU ports, simplifying hardware design for the MX7572JCWG12.
What is the operating temperature range of the MX7572JCWG12?
The MX7572JCWG12 is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is documented in Maxim's official ordering information and applies to all variants with the "J" prefix (e.g., MX7572JCWG12, MX7572JCWG12-T). It is suitable for indoor industrial equipment, benchtop instruments, and non-extended-environment embedded systems.
