MAX150ACPP - 8-Bit 1.34μs Half-Flash ADC w/ 2.5V Ref | Maxim
MPN: MAX150ACPP ✗ انتهى عمره الإنتاجيMAX150ACPP نظرة عامة
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a mixed-signal integrated circuit that converts continuous-time, continuous-amplitude analog signals into discrete digital codes for processing by microprocessors, microcontrollers, or DSPs. Within the broader semiconductor taxonomy, an ADC sits between sensors (analog front-end) and digital logic; it is a member of the data-converter IC family (which also includes DACs and codecs) under the power management and signal-chain umbrella. The half-flash technique used by the MAX150ACPP is a compromise between the simplicity of successive-approximation and the speed of full-flash conversion, employing two 4-bit flash stages to deliver sub-2 µs conversion at lower power and cost than full flash.
Key features of the MAX150ACPP include 1.34 µs typical conversion time, an integrated 2.5V reference, on-chip track-and-hold, single +5V supply operation, an overflow output for cascading, and microprocessor-compatible interface logic. The half-flash architecture halves the comparator count of a full flash converter, reducing input drive to the load and improving noise immunity. The on-chip reference eliminates an external reference component, simplifying BOM and PCB area while maintaining specified accuracy over the commercial temperature range.
Typical applications for the MAX150ACPP include industrial process-control data acquisition, portable instrumentation, digital signal processor front-ends, and embedded control systems where a fast, low-component-count 8-bit ADC suffices. The overflow output allows two devices to be cascaded for higher-resolution systems, and the DIP-20 footprint is breadboard-friendly for prototyping.
When designing with this ADC, place 0.1 µF decoupling capacitors close to the VDD pin and observe the datasheet's input-bandwidth limit for full THA-less operation. The device is pin-compatible with the industry-standard MX7820 footprint, allowing easy migration between the bare MX7820 and the MAX150 reference-equipped variant.

التطبيقات النموذجية
MAX150ACPP مناسب لـ 6 التطبيقs: Industrial Process Control Data Acquisition, Portable Instrumentation and Test Equipment, DSP and Microprocessor Analog Front-Ends, Embedded Control and Sensor Readout, Cascaded Higher-Resolution ADC Systems, Legacy Industrial Board Repair and Maintenance.
Industrial Process Control Data Acquisition
The MAX150ACPP's 1.34 µs conversion time and 8-bit resolution suit industrial PLC analog input modules sampling 4-20 mA or 0-5V transducer signals at multi-kHz rates. The on-chip 2.5V reference eliminates the need for an external precision reference, reducing BOM cost in multi-channel systems where each channel would otherwise require its own reference. The built-in track-and-hold handles multiplexed inputs from industrial sensors without external THA circuitry, while the overflow output supports cascading two devices for 9-bit equivalent resolution in higher-precision control loops. The PDIP-20 package is well suited to industrial through-hole PCB designs and conformal-coated assemblies.

Portable Instrumentation and Test Equipment
Battery-powered portable instruments benefit from the MAX150ACPP's single +5V supply operation and integrated reference, which simplify power-tree design and reduce quiescent drain. The 1.34 µs conversion enables real-time waveform capture in handheld oscilloscope front-ends, digital multimeters, and portable data loggers sampling at hundreds of kSPS. The DIP-20 through-hole package is breadboard-friendly for prototype instrumentation, and the on-chip track-and-hold captures transient signals without external sampling amplifiers. The 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range covers most indoor and sheltered portable use cases.

DSP and Microprocessor Analog Front-Ends
The MAX150ACPP's microprocessor-compatible interface simplifies connection to legacy 8-bit microcontrollers and DSP analog input ports. The RD, CS, and INT signals align with standard memory-mapped peripheral timing, allowing direct bus attachment without glue logic. The 8-bit resolution and 1.34 µs conversion suit audio-bandwidth sampling (up to ~370 kSPS effective) for DSP-based audio analyzers, motor-control feedback loops, and closed-loop servo systems. The integrated 2.5V reference anchors ADC scaling to a stable on-chip voltage, simplifying software calibration routines in resource-constrained embedded firmware.

Embedded Control and Sensor Readout
The MAX150ACPP integrates cleanly into embedded microcontroller boards reading analog sensors (temperature, pressure, position) at moderate rates. The on-chip reference and track-and-hold eliminate two external ICs, reducing BOM count on space-constrained sensor hub boards. The half-flash conversion at 1.34 µs supports multi-channel scanning via external multiplexers with sample rates adequate for thermal management, HVAC control, and appliance electronics. The DIP-20 package suits hand-soldered prototyping and low-volume industrial embedded products.

Cascaded Higher-Resolution ADC Systems
The MAX150ACPP's overflow (OFL) output enables cascading two devices to achieve 9-bit equivalent resolution, a rare feature in low-cost 8-bit ADCs. In a cascaded configuration, the second MAX150 measures the overflow residue of the first, extending dynamic range for precision weighing scales, digital potentiometer read-backs, and low-resolution instrumentation. The built-in track-and-hold and shared reference voltage simplify synchronization between cascaded devices. Designers can also cascade with the MX7820 family for mixed-resolution architectures, though matching propagation delays is critical for accurate residue measurement.

Legacy Industrial Board Repair and Maintenance
The MAX150ACPP remains in service across thousands of legacy industrial controllers, programmable logic peripherals, and factory-floor test fixtures deployed in the 1990s and early 2000s. Maintenance engineers rely on the obsolete MAX150ACPP and its active MAX150ACPP+ successor to repair aging equipment where PCB redesign is cost-prohibitive. The DIP-20 through-hole package is straightforward to hand-solder or socket for field replacement. Cross-brand equivalents like the ADC0820CCN+ and AD7820KNZ provide second-source options when Maxim stock is constrained, ensuring continued support for long-lifecycle industrial assets.

ملاحظات التصميم
Decouple VDD with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the supply pin, and add a 10 µF tantalum or aluminum bulk capacitor on the supply rail. The MAX150ACPP draws transient current during conversion (typically 5-10 mA peaks); insufficient decoupling causes digital output corruption and reference instability. For cascaded configurations, provide local bulk capacitance at each device's VDD pin to prevent supply droop during simultaneous conversions.
Separate analog and digital ground planes, joining at a single point beneath the AGND pin to avoid digital switching noise coupling into the analog input or reference. Route analog input traces away from digital output bus lines (DB0-DB7) and clock/control lines (CS, RD, WR). Use a ground ring around the analog input pin and place the 0.1 µF VDD decoupling cap adjacent to the supply pin with short, wide traces. For cascaded designs, route overflow and clock traces with matched lengths to maintain synchronization.
Do not exceed the analog input voltage range of 0V to +5V; signals beyond this range cause input stage saturation and possible device damage. For bipolar inputs, add external signal-conditioning circuitry (op-amp level shifter) before the VIN pin. Note that the MAX150ACPP (without '+' suffix) is obsolete; for new designs use the MAX150ACPP+ lead-free variant to ensure long-term availability. Verify reference decoupling with a 0.1 µF cap on VREF if driving external loads.
The on-chip track-and-hold handles input slew rates up to the datasheet-specified limit (typically 100 mV/µs or higher), eliminating external sampling for most audio-bandwidth signals. For higher slew-rate inputs (video edges, fast transients), add an external buffer amplifier to drive the VIN pin. The reference output (VREF) can source limited current; if sharing the reference with external circuitry, buffer it with an op-amp to prevent loading-induced voltage drift.
معلومات الامتثال
MAX150ACPP (without '+' suffix) is non-RoHS lead-bearing product, marked obsolete by Maxim Integrated. The MAX150ACPP+ lead-free variant is RoHS-compliant and is the recommended active alternative for new designs. AEC-Q100 not applicable for commercial-grade PDIP-20 ADC.
