Product details
Overview
MX7824KN+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed, 4-channel, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 2.5 µs conversion time, single +5V supply operation, and built-in track/hold. It features a 0V to +5V analog input range and interfaces directly to microprocessor data buses via latched three-state outputs - used in real-time data acquisition systems requiring deterministic timing and minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the MX7824KN+ datasheet, MX7824KN+ pinout, MX7824KN+ application, or MX7824KN+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.5 µs conversion time, ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error, 24-pin narrow plastic DIP package, Mode 0/Mode 1 digital interface flexibility, and compatibility with AD7824 for legacy system upgrades.
Technical Context
The MX7824KN+ employs a half-flash architecture with two 4-bit flash ADC sections and an internal DAC to generate the lower 4 bits from the residue voltage. Its analog front-end includes integrated sampling switches and comparator networks optimized for 1 µs tracking followed by 1.5 µs conversion completion.
Digital control relies solely on CS and RD inputs, supporting two modes: Mode 0 (WAIT-state compatible, INT- and RDY-driven handshaking) and Mode 1 (non-WAIT, overlapping conversion/read). The device uses no external clock and delivers latched, three-state DB0–DB7 outputs compatible with standard 8-bit microprocessor buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - provides 256 discrete output codes for digitizing analog signals within 0V to +5V range. |
| Conversion Time | 2.5 µs - enables up to 400 kHz maximum sampling rate per channel, sufficient for 10 kHz sinusoidal inputs without external track/hold. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1/2 LSB - guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes across full temperature range (0°C to +70°C). |
| Analog Input Range | 0V to +5V - referenced to VREF− (GND) and VREF+ (up to VDD), enabling direct connection to +5V-sourced sensors or op-amp outputs. |
| Supply Voltage | +5V only - eliminates need for dual supplies or voltage regulators; power dissipation is 25–75 mW depending on activity. |
| Digital Interface | CS + RD control only - no address decoding logic required; supports memory-mapped or I/O-mapped microprocessor access with no glue logic. |
| Track/Hold | Built-in - removes requirement for external sample-and-hold circuitry in most medium-bandwidth applications. |
Pinout & Package
MX7824KN+ is housed in a 24-pin narrow plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package) with 0.3-inch body width and 0.1-inch pin pitch, suitable for through-hole prototyping and industrial PCB assembly.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | AIN1 | Analog input channel 1 - accepts 0V to +5V signal; multiplexed with AIN2–AIN4 under A0/A1 control. |
| 2 | AIN2 | Analog input channel 2 - shares same internal sampling network and track/hold as AIN1–AIN4. |
| 3 | AIN3 | Analog input channel 3 - selected when A0=1, A1=0; input capacitance is 45 pF, requiring ≤100Ω source impedance for full accuracy. |
| 4 | AIN4 | Analog input channel 4 - final channel in 4-channel mux; settling time is internally fixed at ~1 µs before conversion begins. |
| 5 | A0 | Multiplexer address bit 0 - TTL-compatible input determining which of four analog channels is sampled during next conversion. |
| 6 | A1 | Multiplexer address bit 1 - used with A0 to select AIN1–AIN4; no internal pull-up/pull-down; must be driven. |
| 7 | NC | No connect - pin 7 is unconnected internally; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
| 8 | VDD | +5V power supply - bypass with 47 µF electrolytic + 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor close to pin to suppress switching noise. |
| 9 | DB0 | Data bus bit 0 (LSB) - three-state CMOS output; sinks 2.6 mA or sources 1.6 mA; high-impedance when CS high. |
| 10 | DB1 | Data bus bit 1 - latched output reflecting conversion result; timing referenced to RD/CS edges per Mode 0 or Mode 1 spec. |
| 11 | DB2 | Data bus bit 2 - valid after tACC1 (85 ns after RD low in Mode 0); compatible with 80Cxx, Z80, and 68000-family buses. |
| 12 | DB3 | Data bus bit 3 - shares same enable timing and loading characteristics as DB0–DB7; requires 50 pF max capacitive load for guaranteed timing. |
| 13 | RD | Read control input - falling edge initiates conversion in Mode 0; in Mode 1, it simultaneously reads prior result and starts new conversion. |
| 14 | DB4 | Data bus bit 4 - output remains in high-Z until conversion completes and RD/CS conditions are met per selected mode. |
| 15 | DB5 | Data bus bit 5 - driven only when CS is low and RD transitions appropriately; VOL = 0.4 V max at 2.6 mA sink. |
| 16 | DB6 | Data bus bit 6 - VOH = 4.0 V min at 1.6 mA source; compatible with TTL and CMOS logic families. |
| 17 | DB7 | Data bus bit 7 (MSB) - completes 8-bit parallel word; timing skew between DB0–DB7 is <5 ns over temperature. |
| 18 | CS | Chip-select input - active-low enable; must be stable before RD edge; controls output enable and internal state machine reset. |
| 19 | INT | Interrupt output - open-drain, active-low signal indicating conversion completion; requires external pull-up to VDD. |
| 20 | RDY | Ready output - open-drain status signal tied to microprocessor WAIT input; goes high-Z at end of conversion. |
| 21 | VREF− | Reference lower bound - sets zero-code point; connected to GND for standard 0V–5V operation. |
| 22 | VREF+ | Reference upper bound - sets full-scale code point; typically tied to VDD (+5V) unless external reference used. |
| 23 | GND | Analog/digital ground - single ground pin; recommended to tie AGND and DGND together at single point near VDD bypass. |
| 24 | TP (REF OUT) | Test point only - not connected internally on MX7824KN+; do not route or load; reserved for MAX154/MAX158 reference output. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate achievable with the MX7824KN+?
The MX7824KN+ achieves a maximum sampling rate of 100 kHz per channel, calculated from its 2.5 µs conversion time plus minimum 500 ns delay between conversions (tP). This allows full utilization of its 4-channel multiplexer in time-interleaved acquisition without aliasing for input bandwidths up to 10 kHz. The MX7824KN+ does not require external clocking to sustain this rate.
Does the MX7824KN+ include an internal voltage reference?
No, the MX7824KN+ does not include an internal voltage reference. Unlike the MAX154/MAX158 family, the MX7824KN+ requires external reference connections at VREF+ and VREF− pins. It is specified for operation with VREF+ tied to VDD (+5V) and VREF− tied to GND, establishing a 0V to +5V input range. The REF OUT pin (pin 24) is a test point only and is not connected internally on the MX7824KN+.
Can the MX7824KN+ operate with a 3.3V microprocessor interface?
Yes, the MX7824KN+ can interface with 3.3V microprocessors, but only in Mode 0 with appropriate level translation. Its DB0–DB7 outputs are CMOS-compatible with VOH ≥ 4.0 V (min) and VOL ≤ 0.4 V (max) at rated loads, so direct connection to 3.3V inputs risks overvoltage. Use resistor-divider networks or dual-supply level translators on data lines; control inputs (CS, RD, A0, A1) accept TTL thresholds and may connect directly if 3.3V logic high exceeds 2.4V.
What is the purpose of the RDY and INT pins on the MX7824KN+?
The RDY pin is an open-drain ready signal intended for connection to a microprocessor's WAIT input - it goes low when CS falls and returns to high-impedance when conversion completes, enabling hardware wait-state insertion. The INT pin is also open-drain and asserts low upon conversion completion, providing interrupt-driven data read capability. Both require external pull-up resistors to VDD; RDY supports Mode 0 timing, while INT works in both Mode 0 and Mode 1.
Is the MX7824KN+ pin-compatible with the AD7824?
Yes, the MX7824KN+ is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible replacement for Analog Devices' AD7824. Pin functions, ordering codes (e.g., BNZ vs. KN+), and electrical timing parameters match closely enough to permit drop-in substitution in existing PCBs. However, MX7824KN+ offers improved specifications including ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error versus AD7824's ±1 LSB, and guaranteed built-in track/hold performance.
