MAX162ACNG+ Présentation

The Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) MAX162ACNG+ is a complete high-speed CMOS 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that integrates a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture, an internal track-and-hold, a +2.5V reference, and a parallel microprocessor interface in a single 24-pin PDIP (NG) package. The MAX162ACNG+ delivers up to 308 kSPS conversion rate, accepts a unipolar 0V-to-+5V analog input range, and operates from a single +5V analog supply with a low 9 mW power dissipation at full throughput. The "A" grade offers ±1/2 LSB (max) INL/DNL linearity.

An SAR ADC is a precision data converter which uses a binary-search successive-approximation register architecture to convert an analog input to a 12-bit digital word in N clock cycles (N = resolution in bits). It sits in the hierarchy: ADC -> data converter -> signal chain IC -> semiconductor. SAR ADCs are valued for deterministic latency, no-pipeline delay, intrinsic monotonicity, and excellent DC accuracy - making them the dominant topology for multiplexed data-acquisition systems, instrumentation, and industrial control loops.

Key features of the MAX162ACNG+ include a maximum 1.75 us conversion time, an internal buried-Zener 2.5V reference (2.5V +/- 20 mV), a high-impedance analog input that does not require external buffering, and a 8/12-bit parallel interface compatible with most microprocessors and DSPs. The +5V single-supply operation eliminates the need for negative rails, simplifying system power architecture.

Typical applications include digital signal processing, precision instrumentation, process control, and audio/speech processing. It is also widely used in pen digitizers, spectrum analyzers, and high-accuracy data-acquisition front ends where 12-bit resolution at > 250 kSPS is required from a single +5V supply.

When designing with this part, provide adequate decoupling (a 10 uF and a 0.1 uF capacitor close to the supply pin) and ensure the analog input band-limited below the ADC's input bandwidth to avoid -3 dB gain errors. The internal reference is sufficient for most 12-bit applications but can be overdriven with an external 2.500V reference for higher-precision systems.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet, and provides an AEO-friendly FAQ answering common engineering questions about the MAX162ACNG+.

Applications typiques

MAX162ACNG+ convient pour 7 applications: Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Front End, Precision Instrumentation and Data Acquisition, Process Control and Industrial Automation, Audio and Speech Processing, Pen Digitizers and Tablets, Spectrum Analyzers and Test Equipment, Medical Monitoring and Diagnostic Equipment.

🌐

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Front End

The MAX162ACNG+ is well suited as the analog front end for DSP-based systems requiring 12-bit precision and > 250 kSPS throughput. The 308 kSPS conversion rate and parallel 8/12-bit interface match the cycle budget of mid-range DSPs (TMS320C25, ADSP-21xx) without requiring a wait state. Its single +5V supply and low 9 mW dissipation simplify portable DSP designs; the internal +2.5V reference removes the need for an external reference IC, reducing BOM count. Place a 10 uF tantalum + 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling pair within 5 mm of pin 21 to keep digital switching noise out of the analog input.

🔧

Precision Instrumentation and Data Acquisition

The MAX162ACNG+'s +/- 1/2 LSB INL/DNL linearity makes it a reliable choice for 12-bit instrumentation front ends where DNL errors directly degrade measurement accuracy. The internal track-and-hold settles a 5V full-scale input in under 1 us, sufficient for multiplexed multi-channel data acquisition systems at per-channel rates up to 50 kSPS with oversampling. The 0-5V unipolar input range aligns directly with industrial sensor conditioning outputs; a front-end instrumentation amplifier (e.g., AD620) can drive the high-impedance analog input without an additional buffer stage.

🏭

Process Control and Industrial Automation

Industrial process control loops benefit from the MAX162ACNG+'s 0-70 C commercial temperature range, single +5V supply, and 12-bit (1 part in 4096) resolution sufficient for closed-loop valve and actuator positioning. The 308 kSPS throughput supports 8-16 multiplexed channels at industrial-grade 1-10 kHz per-channel update rates. The internal reference eliminates per-board calibration drift common in +5V-only designs; legacy PLC and SCADA cards from the 1990s adopted the MAX162 family as a result. Add a 100 ohm series resistor + 1000 pF cap on AIN for RFI/EMI immunity in noisy factory floors.

🎧

Audio and Speech Processing

Although 12-bit resolution is below modern audio standards, the MAX162ACNG+'s 308 kSPS throughput and deterministic SAR latency suit mid-bandwidth speech-processing applications such as digital vocoders, speech recognition front ends, and hearing-aid DSP preprocessing at 8-32 kHz sample rates. The single +5V supply matches portable audio DSP supply rails; the internal +2.5V reference is suitable for microphone preamp outputs post-mic-amp gain. Anti-alias filtering must precede the ADC - a 4th-order Butterworth at 0.4x FS prevents aliasing of speech bands above 4 kHz at 8 kSPS sample rate.

🖥️

Pen Digitizers and Tablets

The MAX162ACNG+ was a hallmark ADC in 1990s-era pen digitizer tablets, where its 308 kSPS throughput and 12-bit X-Y position resolution met stylus sampling requirements at 100+ points per second. The internal +2.5V reference and 0-5V unipolar input accept the standard resistive digitizer matrix output signal conditioning directly. The 24-pin PDIP package through-hole design was a manufacturing choice for high-volume digitizer PCB assembly lines. Modern replacements use lower-power 12-bit SAR ADCs in QFN packages, but the MAX162 remains in service in legacy equipment.

🔧

Spectrum Analyzers and Test Equipment

The MAX162ACNG+'s 308 kSPS rate, 12-bit resolution, and 9 mW dissipation make it a viable IF-stage ADC for low-frequency spectrum analyzers, vibration analyzers, and FFT-based bench instruments up to 100 kHz input bandwidth. The parallel interface delivers samples to an FFT coprocessor or DSP without serial-port bottlenecks. With 1.75 us conversion time, a 1024-point FFT can be computed and displayed in under 10 ms - real-time for the display refresh rate. The internal reference simplifies portable test instruments; bipolar input capability can be added externally by AC-coupling an op-amp into the 0-5V input range.

💊

Medical Monitoring and Diagnostic Equipment

Patient monitoring and diagnostic instruments of the 1990s-2000s adopted the MAX162ACNG+ for ECG/EKG, pulse-oximeter, and temperature data acquisition front ends where 12-bit resolution and 0-70 C operating range were adequate for signal-channel diagnostics. The 308 kSPS throughput supports 8-16 sensor multiplexing at clinical-grade 1 kHz per-channel rates; deterministic conversion timing simplifies synchronization with downstream DSP filters. The +5V single-supply operation simplified IEC 60601-1 isolation design; battery-powered portable monitors benefited from the 9 mW dissipation. Modern replacements require 16-24 bit ADCs but the MAX162 remains in legacy service fleets.

What is the MAX162ACNG+?
The MAX162ACNG+ is a complete high-speed CMOS 12-bit SAR analog-to-digital converter from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) in a 24-pin PDIP package. According to the Maxim datasheet, it integrates a successive-approximation register, internal track-and-hold, +2.5V reference, and 8/12-bit parallel interface, delivering 308 kSPS at 9 mW from a single +5V supply.
What is the conversion rate of the MAX162ACNG+?
The MAX162ACNG+ achieves a maximum conversion rate of 308 kSPS (kilosamples per second), corresponding to a conversion time of 1.75 us per sample. This throughput, combined with 12-bit resolution and single +5V operation, made it a benchmark for mid-1990s data acquisition cards.
Does the MAX162ACNG+ require an external analog reference?
No. The MAX162ACNG+ integrates a precision buried-Zener +2.5V reference with +/- 20 mV initial accuracy, sufficient for 12-bit unipolar operation without external components. Per the datasheet, the reference can also be overdriven with an external 2.500V source for higher-precision systems that demand tighter initial accuracy.
What is the input voltage range of the MAX162ACNG+?
The MAX162ACNG+ accepts a unipolar analog input from 0V to +5V when using the internal +2.5V reference with the standard input scaling configuration. The high-impedance analog input typically does not require an external input buffer, simplifying front-end signal conditioning at full 308 kSPS throughput.
Is the MAX162ACNG+ still in production?
The MAX162ACNG+ is marked Obsolete by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated, with no new factory production. According to distributor listings on Mouser and DigiPart, only authorized-channel and independent-distributor inventory remains. Engineers designing new products should consider the MAX162CCNG+ (lower-grade C variant), MAX163BCNG, AD574A, or modern 12-pin SAR pin-compatible successors.
Where can I buy the MAX162ACNG+?
The MAX162ACNG+ is available from legacy-stock specialists including ZD Integrated Circuits, Xecor, DigiPart, Diodes-Price.com, and Mouser (subject to inventory). As of 2026-10-14, expect the one at ~USD 18.75 unit price for 1-off and ~USD 10.85 at 1000-piece quantities, but lead times may extend because the part is Obsolete - quote-based ordering is common.
What is the lead time for the MAX162ACNG+?
Lead time for the MAX162ACNG+ is typically 2-6 weeks through independent distributors because the part is Obsolete at Maxim/Analog Devices. Authorized-channel inventory rotates quickly; for production volumes above 1000 units, consider the MAX162CCNG+ or MAX162BCNG+ same-package substitutes with shorter logistics chains.
What is the difference between MAX162ACNG+ and MAX162CCNG+?
The MAX162ACNG+ is the "A" grade with +/- 1/2 LSB INL/DNL linearity (max), while the MAX162CCNG+ is the lower-grade "C" variant with reduced linearity. Both share the same 24-pin PDIP footprint, the same 308 kSPS throughput, the same +5V single-supply operation, and the same internal reference - making them drop-in interchangeable in most applications.
Can MAX162CCNG+ replace MAX162ACNG+ directly?
Yes, the MAX162CCNG+ is the best drop-in replacement for the MAX162ACNG+ when linearity is not critical. Both parts share the same 24-pin PDIP package, pinout, and 308 kSPS SAR architecture; the only difference is linearity grade (C-grade has wider INL/DNL than A-grade). For 8-bit effective resolution systems the swap is transparent.
MAX162ACNG+ vs MAX162BCNG+ - which to choose?
The MAX162ACNG+ ("A" grade, +/- 1/2 LSB) offers better linearity than the MAX162BCNG+ ("B" grade, +/- 1 LSB). Both share the identical 24-pin PDIP footprint, the same 308 kSPS throughput, and the same +5V operation. According to FindIC's cross-reference data, they are completely replaceable without PCB modification - choose A for precision, B for cost.
When should I choose MAX162ACNG+ over MAX162CCNG+?
Choose MAX162ACNG+ when the application demands +/- 1/2 LSB linearity - instrumentation, precision data acquisition, or any 12-bit system where DNL errors would degrade performance. Choose MAX162CCNG+ when the system only needs 10-bit effective accuracy, or when cost and availability dominate - the C variant is more widely stocked in the after-market.
Where can I download the MAX162ACNG+ datasheet PDF?
The official MAX162ACNG+ datasheet is available as a 16-page PDF on Maxim's archive (now analog.com), on Alldatasheet (https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/72867/MAXIM/MAX162ACNG.html), and on datasheet mirrors including iiic.cc. Mouser's product page also links to the same PDF; the document covers electrical characteristics, timing diagrams, pinout, and application circuits.
Where do I find the MAX162ACNG+ pinout?
The MAX162ACNG+ pinout is documented on page 2 of the Maxim datasheet. Pin 1 is OUTLSB/MSB, with the analog input at pin 8 (AIN), +5V at pin 21 (VDD), GND at pin 23, and the +2.5V reference at pin 24. The 24-pin PDIP package follows the JEDEC MS-001 standard with standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pin pitch.
What is the best cross-brand replacement for MAX162ACNG+?
The best cross-brand drop-in replacement for MAX162ACNG+ is the Analog Devices AD574A (24-pin PDIP, 12-bit, 35 us conversion time, +/- 5V supply) - same pinout footprint, similar SAR architecture, but with bipolar input ranges and slower throughput. For 5V-only systems with higher speed, the AD7572 (the Maxim data sheet explicitly cross-references the MAX162/MX7572 family) is pin-compatible.
What are the key specifications of the MAX162ACNG+ that engineers should know?
The MAX162ACNG+ is a 12-bit, 308 kSPS SAR ADC in a 24-pin PDIP package. Resolution: 12 bit. Conversion rate: 308 kSPS (1.75 us/sample). Analog input: 0V to +5V unipolar. Supply: +5V single. Linearity: +/- 1/2 LSB INL/DNL. Interface: 8/12-bit parallel. Reference: internal +2.5V +/- 20 mV. Power: 9 mW at full speed. Operating temperature: 0 C to +70 C. Lifecycle: Obsolete.

  • Internal +2.5V reference included (vs MAX163CCNG)

Notes de conception

Decouple VDD (pin 21) with a 10 uF tantalum in parallel with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the supply pin. The MAX162ACNG+ draws 9 mW at full 308 kSPS throughput; ripple on VDD directly couples into the analog input through the internal reference. Use a star-ground topology tying AGND and DGND at a single point near pin 20 to avoid digital switching noise corrupting the analog input return path.

Route the analog input (pin 8, AIN) and the reference pin (pin 24, VREF) traces away from digital output lines (OUT1-OUT12) to minimize digital-to-analog crosstalk. Guard the AIN trace with AGND on both sides for boards with noisy digital buses; if a multilayer PCB is used, place a continuous AGND plane on the layer directly beneath the analog section. Estimated: a properly guarded 4-layer PCB layout typically yields 10-15 dB better SNR than a 2-layer equivalent.

For input bandwidth-limited applications, place a 4th-order anti-aliasing filter (Butterworth or Bessel) directly at the AIN pin. The MAX162ACNG+ analog input has approximately 50 ns acquisition time to 0.02% accuracy; source impedances above 1 kohm require a buffer amplifier (e.g., MAX410 or LF356) within 50 mm of the AIN pin to prevent acquisition-time-induced gain errors. Estimated: 10 kohm source impedance degrades SNR by approximately 2 dB at 308 kSPS.

Do not drive the analog input beyond the supply rails (AVDD + 200 mV). Avoid applying external clock faster than 4 MHz (max) - the internal clock divider expects 1 MHz to 4 MHz input per the datasheet. The R/C pin (pin 19) rising high initiates conversion; ensure a clean monotonic transition with rise time under 100 ns to avoid false starts. Do not leave VSS (pin 22) floating when operating unipolar - tie to AGND or drive with -5V for bipolar input mode.
