MAX145ACUA Présentation

The Maxim Integrated MAX145ACUA (now part of Analog Devices) is a 12-bit, 108 ksps, low-power, pseudo-differential, 2-channel successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) in an 8-pin µMAX/uSOP surface-mount package. It operates from a single +2.7 V to +5.25 V supply and features an internal track/hold, on-chip clock, automatic power-down, fast 2.5 µs wake-up, and a high-speed 3-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. The MAX145ACUA also includes the "A" temperature grade variant specified for commercial 0 °C to +70 °C operation.

A SAR (successive-approximation-register) ADC is a type of analog-to-digital converter that uses a binary search through an internal DAC to convert an analog input to a digital code one bit per clock cycle. SAR ADCs combine very low latency (one conversion cycle, no pipeline delay), excellent DC accuracy, and simple serial interfaces. They sit within the broader category of data converters (ADC/DAC) under signal-chain ICs and are typically the right choice when a system needs deterministic single-shot sampling at moderate speeds, low power, and small footprint - as opposed to high-speed pipeline ADCs or integrating ADCs optimized for very low noise at slow rates.

The MAX145 family delivers 108 ksps sampling at 0.9 mA (with VDD = +3 V) and drops to just 100 µA at 10 ksps and 10 µA at 1 ksps. Power-down current is 0.2 µA, making the part ideal for battery-powered and portable data-acquisition systems. The internal 2.5 MHz typ oscillator and the integrated track/hold eliminate the need for an external precision clock and a front-end sample-and-hold amplifier.

Typical applications include pen-digitizers, portable instrumentation, data loggers, isolated measurement front-ends, and 4–20 mA loop-powered sensors. The MAX145 is also well suited for medical monitoring accessories and industrial process control modules that must operate for long periods from a small battery.

When designing with the MAX145ACUA, ensure the analog input remains within the pseudo-differential common-mode range and that REF+ / REF- decoupling is placed as close as possible to the pins. For systems that require true bipolar or fully differential inputs, prefer the MAX144 (single-ended) or a dedicated delta-sigma ADC instead.

This page consolidates distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives, and engineering notes that supplement the manufacturer datasheet, including selection guidance versus the MAX144 and competitor 8-pin SAR ADCs.

Applications typiques

MAX145ACUA convient pour 6 applications: Portable Data-Acquisition Modules, Pen Digitizers and Touch Panels, Industrial Process-Control Isolated Front-Ends, Medical Monitoring Accessories, Battery-Powered Sensor Hubs and IoT Nodes, Handheld Test and Measurement Instruments.

🖥️

Portable Data-Acquisition Modules

The MAX145ACUA fits portable data-acquisition modules because of its 108 ksps throughput and ultra-low power profile: 0.9 mA at full speed and just 10 µA at 1 ksps. Its pseudo-differential input rejects common-mode noise from long sensor cables, while the internal 2.5 MHz clock and track/hold eliminate external analog components. Placed between a sensor bridge and a low-power MCU, it provides deterministic single-shot latency that pipeline or sigma-delta ADCs cannot match, and the 0.2 µA power-down current extends battery life when the host sleeps between conversions.

📱

Pen Digitizers and Touch Panels

The MAX145ACUA is well suited to pen-digitizer and touch-panel front ends because of its 108 ksps sampling and 7.4 µs conversion time, which captures stylus position updates at rates above the human-perceptible latency threshold. The pseudo-differential input rejects electrical noise injected from the LCD backlight and panel drivers, while the 3-wire SPI interface connects directly to common microcontroller serial ports. Compared with integrating ADCs, the SAR architecture provides immediate conversions without digital averaging delay, which is critical for real-time coordinate tracking.

🏭

Industrial Process-Control Isolated Front-Ends

The MAX145ACUA's 12-bit resolution and pseudo-differential input make it ideal for isolated industrial process-control front ends reading 4-20 mA loop-powered sensors and thermocouple pre-amplifier outputs. The +2.7 V to +5.25 V single-supply operation simplifies isolated DC-DC design, while automatic power-down (0.2 µA) limits loop current draw during idle. Combined with a digital isolator on the SPI lines, the result is a compact, low-noise isolated ADC channel with deterministic latency for safety and instrumentation loops.

💊

Medical Monitoring Accessories

The MAX145ACUA serves medical monitoring accessories such as handheld pulse oximeters, blood-pressure cuffs, and personal ECG event recorders that require low power, small size, and reliable DC accuracy. The 12-bit SAR architecture gives instantaneous single-conversion latency, which simplifies R-wave detection and event-trigger algorithms, and the 0.9 mA active current extends battery life across multi-day monitoring sessions. Its pseudo-differential input also suppresses common-mode interference from mains-powered bedside equipment.

🧩

Battery-Powered Sensor Hubs and IoT Nodes

IoT sensor hubs and remote wireless nodes benefit from the MAX145ACUA's tiered power profile - 0.9 mA at 108 ksps, 100 µA at 10 ksps, 10 µA at 1 ksps, and 0.2 µA in power-down - which scales automatically with throughput demand. Combined with a low-power MCU that wakes the ADC only for scheduled samples, average current stays well below 50 µA, supporting multi-year coin-cell operation for HVAC, leak, and occupancy sensors. The SPI-compatible serial interface shares bus pins with most low-power MCUs.

🔧

Handheld Test and Measurement Instruments

Handheld digital multimeters and field service instruments benefit from the MAX145ACUA's combination of 12-bit resolution and low supply current when measuring analog signals from sensors and transducers in the field. The internal track/hold eliminates an external sample-and-hold stage, simplifying the analog front end, while the 8-pin µMAX package saves board space in compact handheld enclosures. The pseudo-differential input improves common-mode rejection when measuring across long test leads in noisy environments.

What is the MAX145ACUA?
The MAX145ACUA is a 12-bit, 108 ksps, low-power successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) from Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). According to the MAX144/MAX145 datasheet, it offers a single pseudo-differential input channel, an internal track/hold, on-chip 2.5 MHz clock, automatic power-down (0.2 µA), and a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface in an 8-pin µMAX package.
What is the supply voltage range of MAX145ACUA?
The MAX145ACUA operates from a single +2.7 V to +5.25 V supply. According to the MAX144/MAX145 datasheet, this wide single-rail range lets a single design accept 3.3 V, 3.6 V, or 5 V analog rails, simplifying battery- and line-powered designs. The supply pin is VDD and the ground reference is GND, with no separate analog/digital supply required.
What is the sampling rate of MAX145ACUA?
The MAX145ACUA samples at up to 108 ksps through its 7.4 µs successive-approximation conversion stage. Per the datasheet, throughput is reduced automatically by internal duty cycling at lower rates, dropping supply current to 100 µA at 10 ksps and 10 µA at 1 ksps, which is the key to its low-power positioning for battery applications.
How many input channels does MAX145ACUA have?
The MAX145ACUA exposes two input pins but is configured as one pseudo-differential channel (AIN0–AIN1 paired to GND through software), per the MAX144/MAX145 datasheet. For two true single-ended channels, choose the pin-compatible MAX144AEUA / MAX144ACUA in the same 8-pin µMAX package and pinout.
What is the operating temperature range of MAX145ACUA?
The MAX145ACUA is the "A" commercial-temperature grade, rated 0 °C to +70 °C. Per Maxim's part-number convention, the "E" suffix (MAX145AEUA) covers -40 °C to +85 °C, and the "M" suffix covers -55 °C to +125 °C; both share the same µMAX-8 footprint and serial interface.
Where to download the MAX145ACUA datasheet PDF?
The official MAX144/MAX145 datasheet is published on analog.com at https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX144-MAX145.pdf. The document covers functional description, electrical characteristics, pin description, timing diagrams, and application information for both the MAX144 and MAX145, including the MAX145ACUA variant.
Where can I buy MAX145ACUA online and what is the price?
The MAX145ACUA (and the lead-free MAX145ACUA+) is in stock at DigiKey, Mouser, and authorized Maxim/Analog Devices distributors. As of 2026-10-14, the 1-piece unit price is approximately $9.88 at 1ku volume per the Maxim product page, with distributor single-piece pricing typically higher; bulk pricing falls to roughly $5.10 at 1000 pieces.
What is the lead time for MAX145ACUA?
Lead time for the MAX145ACUA+ at franchised distributors is typically 6–10 weeks from Maxim/Analog Devices as of 2026-10-14. Authorized stock is usually available immediately for sample quantities; large production orders should be confirmed with the distributor at the time of RFQ because Maxim/ADI allocation rules apply.
Is the MAX145ACUA in stock at distributors?
Yes, the MAX145ACUA+ (lead-free) is generally in stock at DigiKey and Mouser as of 2026-10-14. The non-lead-free MAX145ACUA (without "+") is more limited; engineers designing new products should specify the "+" suffix for RoHS-compliant assemblies.
MAX145ACUA vs MAX144ACUA - which is better for single-ended inputs?
The MAX144ACUA has two true single-ended channels, while the MAX145ACUA has one pseudo-differential channel. According to the MAX144/MAX145 datasheet, the two parts share the same 8-pin µMAX pinout, the same serial interface, and the same electrical characteristics, so the MAX144 is the better choice when you need two independent single-ended inputs and the MAX145 when you need pseudo-differential rejection of common-mode noise.
Can MAX144ACUA replace MAX145ACUA on the same PCB?
Yes, the MAX144ACUA is a pin-compatible drop-in replacement for the MAX145ACUA on the same 8-pin µMAX footprint. Per the MAX144/MAX145 datasheet, software must be changed to address two single-ended channels instead of one pseudo-differential channel, but no PCB rework is required.
When should I choose MAX145ACUA over a sigma-delta ADC?
Choose the MAX145ACUA when your system needs deterministic single-shot latency (no digital filter group delay), low power at moderate speeds, and a simple SPI interface - for example in pen digitizers, sensor readouts, and multiplexed data-acquisition front-ends. Sigma-delta ADCs win for very high resolution (16-24 bits) at low bandwidth, where averaging filters suppress noise.
What is the best drop-in replacement for MAX145ACUA?
The closest drop-in replacement is the MAX144ACUA (same 8-pin µMAX package, pin-to-pin compatible, 12-bit, 108 ksps SAR, but with two single-ended channels instead of one pseudo-differential channel). For higher-temperature ranges, the MAX145AEUA (E grade, -40 °C to +85 °C) and MAX145AMUA (M grade, -55 °C to +125 °C) are direct drop-in alternatives in the same package.
What is the best cross-brand equivalent for MAX145ACUA?
Cross-brand drop-in equivalents in 8-pin µMAX/MSOP with 12-bit, 100-200 ksps SAR and SPI-compatible serial interface include the Texas Instruments ADS7822 (MSOP-8) and the Linear Technology / Analog Devices LTC1290 (DIP-8 / SO-8). Both share the SPI interface and supply voltage range, but pinout and software must be verified against the target datasheet before substituting.
What key specifications of MAX145ACUA should engineers know?
The MAX145ACUA's most important specifications are: 12-bit resolution, 108 ksps sampling rate, +2.7 V to +5.25 V single-supply operation, 0.9 mA supply current at 108 ksps, 0.2 µA power-down current, 8-pin µMAX package, 7.4 µs conversion time, internal 2.5 MHz clock, and a 3-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE serial interface. Pseudo-differential input configuration distinguishes the MAX145 from the dual single-ended MAX144.

Guide de sélection

Choose the MAX145ACUA when you need a 12-bit, 108 ksps SAR ADC with pseudo-differential input, ultra-low power (0.9 mA active / 0.2 µA power-down), and a tiny 8-pin µMAX footprint for battery-powered or portable designs. Pick the MAX144ACUA instead if you need two true single-ended channels rather than pseudo-differential. Pick the MAX145AEUA / MAX145AMUA for industrial or military temperature grades; pick the MAX145ACUA+ for RoHS-compliant lead-free assembly. Cross-brand alternatives such as the TI ADS7822 (MSOP-8) or the LTC1290 (SOIC-8) may suit different supply rails or interfaces, but verify pinout and protocol before substituting - the MAX145ACUA's 8-pin µMAX pinout is Maxim-specific.

Notes de conception

Use the MAX145ACUA's automatic power-down mode aggressively in battery applications: drive SCLK/static low between conversions so the internal oscillator and bias circuitry shut down. At 1 ksps the part draws only 10 µA typ, and power-down current is 0.2 µA typ, so average system current can drop by two orders of magnitude versus always-on operation. Decouple VDD with a 0.1 µF ceramic placed within 5 mm of the VDD pin, plus a 1 µF bulk capacitor if the source impedance is high.

Keep the analog input traces (AIN0, AIN1) and reference traces (REF+, REF-) short and surrounded by a grounded copper pour to minimize coupled digital noise. The REF+ pin sets full scale; for best DNL/INL use a low-noise reference such as the MAX6126 or MAX6129 with a 0.1 µF + 10 µF decoupling pair. Avoid running SCLK or DOUT traces parallel to AIN traces to prevent digital coupling into the analog front end.

Do not exceed VDD on the analog inputs; with VDD = 5.25 V and REF = 2.5 V, AIN0 must remain within 0 V to REF. For pseudo-differential operation, ensure AIN1 stays within the part's common-mode range to avoid linearity errors. The MAX145 has one pseudo-differential channel - if two true single-ended inputs are needed, use the MAX144 family, not a second MAX145. Finally, the 'A' temperature grade is commercial (0 °C to +70 °C); for industrial environments specify the 'E' suffix part (MAX145AEUA) which is pin-compatible.
