MAX156BENG Übersicht
A successive-approximation ADC (SAR ADC) is a type of analog-to-digital converter that resolves one bit per clock cycle using a binary search across an internal DAC and comparator, achieving a deterministic conversion time and low latency. The simultaneous track-and-hold front-end on every channel captures all inputs at exactly the same instant, preserving phase relationships between channels - critical for multi-phase power, vibration analysis, and motor-control feedback. This places the MAX156 in the data converter hierarchy: ADC -> data converter -> mixed-signal IC -> semiconductor.
Key features include 8 single-ended analog input channels, an internal 2.5V reference, input range of 0V to +2.5V unipolar or ±2.5V bipolar (with external reference and signal conditioning), and software-configurable unipolar/bipolar operation per the device datasheet. The +2.5V reference output can drive external circuitry. The MAX156BENG is the through-hole commercial-temperature variant (0C to +70C); the MAX156BENG+ suffix denotes the industrial-grade (-40C to +85C) version. The 24-pin PDIP footprint supports breadboard-friendly prototyping and easy hand-solder rework.
Architecture: an input multiplexer feeds eight track-and-hold amplifiers whose outputs connect to a single SAR core with an integrated reference. Conversion control is via a standard microprocessor-compatible parallel interface with read, convert, and chip-select signals. The device dissipates approximately 13.5 mW at 5V/250 ksps and powers down between conversions for battery-friendly operation.
Typical applications include multi-channel data acquisition systems, industrial process control, vibration and modal analysis, motor control phase-current sampling, portable instrumentation, and automated test equipment front-ends. The 250 ksps/channel rate comfortably digitizes audio-bandwidth signals from 8 sensors simultaneously.
Design considerations: place 0.1uF bypass capacitors close to VDD and VSS pins; route analog and digital grounds as separate planes tied at a single point near the ADC. The internal reference requires an external capacitor for noise filtering - consult the datasheet for the recommended value. Choose the MAX156BENG+ (industrial grade) for outdoor or industrial environments; the MAX156BENG without suffix is rated 0C to +70C only.

Typische Anwendungen
MAX156BENG ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Multi-Channel Data Acquisition Systems, Industrial Process Control, Vibration and Modal Analysis, Motor Control Phase-Current Sampling, Portable Instrumentation, Automated Test Equipment.
Multi-Channel Data Acquisition Systems
The MAX156BENG's 8 single-ended analog inputs with simultaneous track-and-hold capture 8 sensor signals at exactly the same instant, eliminating channel-to-channel skew. At 250 ksps per channel and 8-bit resolution, the part digitizes audio-bandwidth signals (20 Hz to 20 kHz) from vibration, strain, temperature, or pressure sensors simultaneously. The internal 2.5V reference eliminates an external reference IC, and the parallel microprocessor interface connects directly to any 8051, PIC, or ARM host. Drop the MAX117 in as a 12-bit upgrade without PCB rework for higher dynamic range.
Empfohlen
Industrial Process Control
Process control loops monitoring pressure, flow, temperature, and level on the same machine require synchronized sampling to capture transient events. The MAX156BENG's simultaneous T/H ensures all 8 sensor values reflect the same process state - critical for valve actuation sequences and safety interlocks. The +5V single-supply operation and 2.7 mA current make it easy to integrate with industrial PLC backplanes, and the DIP-24 package simplifies hand-soldering for prototype panels. Choose the MAX156BENG+ for -40C to +85C industrial environments.
Empfohlen
Vibration and Modal Analysis
Modal analysis of mechanical structures requires sampling 8 accelerometers at exactly the same instant so that mode shapes can be computed by FFT phase relationships. The MAX156BENG's simultaneous track-and-hold preserves inter-channel phase to within the aperture window of the T/H amplifier, well below the phase resolution needed at audio bandwidths. With 8-bit resolution and 250 ksps per channel, the part captures 8 vibration channels to 100 kHz each - sufficient for most structural-analysis frequencies.
Empfohlen
Motor Control Phase-Current Sampling
Three-phase motor control requires sampling all three phase currents plus DC bus voltage, rotor position, and temperature at the same moment for accurate field-oriented control. The MAX156BENG provides 8 simultaneous-sampling channels with 250 ksps latency resolution sufficient for PWM carrier frequencies up to 50 kHz. The 8-bit resolution is adequate for current-loop control where the control loop bandwidth is below 5 kHz. The DIP-24 package and +5V supply simplify integration with motor-driver boards.
Empfohlen
Portable Instrumentation
Battery-powered handheld instruments need low-power 8-channel ADCs to digitize multiple sensor inputs. The MAX156BENG draws only 2.7 mA typical at +5V and supports a power-down mode between conversions, ideal for duty-cycled battery operation. At 250 ksps per channel, 8 sensor inputs can be sampled in less than 4 microseconds - well within the wake-up budget for an AA-cell-powered data logger. The internal 2.5V reference saves a separate reference IC, reducing BOM cost and board area.
Empfohlen
Automated Test Equipment
ATE racks pin parallel analog and digital on the same machine require synchronized sampling to capture DUT behavior under test stimuli. The MAX156BENG samples 8 analog nodes simultaneously while a digital pattern generator drives the DUT, with deterministic SAR conversion time (no pipeline delay). The 8-bit resolution matches the typical threshold accuracy of ATE pin electronics, and the parallel interface enables fast readback at full sample rate. The MAX156BENG+ industrial grade handles the thermal variation in densely-packed ATE racks.

- Industrial-grade variant with same electrical specs (vs. MAX156BENG+)
Designhinweise
Place 0.1uF ceramic bypass capacitors within 5 mm of the AVDD and DVDD pins, with a 10uF bulk tantalum or ceramic capacitor on each supply rail. Route the analog input traces as short as possible and guard them with analog ground traces to minimize digital-noise coupling. Use separate analog and digital ground planes tied at a single point near the ADC's AGND pin to avoid ground-loop noise. The reference pin requires an external 4.7uF tantalum bypass capacitor for noise filtering - do not omit this component as it directly affects conversion accuracy.
The MAX156BENG's simultaneous track-and-hold amplifiers preserve inter-channel phase to within the T/H aperture window - typically 50 ns. For phase-sensitive applications (modal analysis, motor control FOC), keep input source impedance below 1 kohm to minimize aperture-time-induced gain error. If source impedance exceeds 1 kohm, add an external input buffer op-amp such as the MAX447. The internal reference output can source up to 1 mA but should be loaded with a single bypass capacitor only - do not use it to drive external circuitry.
Estimated: at 5 V supply and 250 ksps continuous conversion, the MAX156BENG draws 2.7 mA typical and dissipates 13.5 mW. In power-down mode between conversions the supply current drops to microamp levels. For battery-powered applications, the wake-up latency from power-down is approximately 5 microseconds - budget this in your duty-cycled timing. Power sequencing is also not critical for the MAX156BENG; AVDD and DVDD can be tied together at +5V.
Do not leave analog inputs floating - unused channels must be tied to mid-scale (AVDD/2) or AGND through a defined source impedance to prevent phantom conversion noise. Apply power with proper ramp rates (>1V/ms) to avoid latch-up. The MAX156BENG without '+' suffix is supplied in a non-RoHS leaded finish - choose MAX156BENG+ for any new RoHS-compliant design. Always check the absolute-maximum input rating of -0.3 V to VDD+0.3 V on each analog input pin to avoid ESD damage during board bring-up.
Compliance-Informationen
MAX156BENG (without +) is supplied in lead-finished PDIP-24 package and is NOT RoHS compliant. The MAX156BENG+ variant is RoHS compliant per LCSC catalog listing and is the recommended choice for new designs. AEC-Q100 qualification is not applicable for this commercial/industrial-grade data converter.
