MAX163BCWG+ Présentation

The Analog Devices MAX163BCWG+ is a CMOS 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with integrated track-and-hold, operating on a single +5V analog supply and a -5V (or larger negative) VSS supply with separate analog and digital ground pins. It supports a ratiometric or external reference input and converts at 73 kS/s with a tracking bandwidth that preserves full-scale settling for fast transient signals at the analog input.

A successive-approximation ADC (SAR ADC) is a converter architecture that uses a binary search through an internal capacitive or resistive DAC to converge on the input voltage in N clock cycles, where N is the resolution in bits. The MAX163 family uses a half-flash or full successive-approximation topology with self-calibrated charge redistribution capacitors, providing 12-bit accuracy with no missing codes. Within the data-conversion hierarchy, SAR ADCs sit between delta-sigma ADCs (which deliver higher resolution at lower speeds) and flash ADCs (which deliver the highest speed at low resolution).

Key features of the MAX163 include 12-bit resolution with no missing codes (INL +/- 0.5 LSB), a track-and-hold input front end (not dependent on input signal rise/fall rate), an internal buried-zener reference trimmed to 4.096V, and support for bipolar input signal ranges when using VSS and external scaling. Its 24-pin wide-body SOIC (SO-24, CWG suffix) package exposes separate AGND and DGND pins so a Star grounding topology can be implemented on the PCB to suppress digital-switching noise from coupling back into the analog input.

Typical applications include process-control data acquisition front ends, instrumentation front-end digitizers, multiplexed analog input subsystems for PLCs, motor-control current/voltage monitoring channels, and any place where a wide input range, moderate throughput, and 12-bit precision are needed from a single board. It is well-suited to industrial analog front ends because the bipolar-input design accepts 0 to 12V or +/-5V ranges.

A key design consideration is the supply-decoupling network: a 10uF tantalum and a 0.1uF ceramic at each supply pin, plus separate analog and digital ground returns joining at one star point at the AGND pin, are essential to extract full 12-bit performance in noisy environments. Using a single supply without VSS disables bipolar operation and confines the input to 0-5V (ratiometric with VREF).

Applications typiques

MAX163BCWG+ convient pour 7 applications: Process Control Data Acquisition, Industrial Motor Control Monitoring, Instrumentation Front-End Digitizer, Precision Sensor Signal Conditioning, Audio Front-End Sampling (Legacy), Multiplexed Analog Input Subsystem, Battery Cell Voltage Monitor.

🏭

Process Control Data Acquisition

The MAX163BCWG+ fits process-control data-acquisition front ends because its bipolar-input capability (with VSS at -5V to -12V and external scaling resistors) accepts industry-standard 4-20 mA loop-derived voltage drops or 0-10V process signals. The 12-bit resolution with no missing codes (typical INL around 0.5 LSB) preserves operator readings to 0.024% of full scale, while the integrated track-and-hold eliminates aperture errors from slow input op-amps or large RC filters typically placed for industrial noise immunity. Compared with delta-sigma alternatives, the MAX163BCWG+ offers faster settling for multiplexed channel scanning, allowing the PLC or DCS backplane to update many channels in one scan cycle.

⚡

Industrial Motor Control Monitoring

For motor-control inverter boards, the MAX163BCWG+ suits DC-bus voltage sensing and shunt-resistor current-sensing channels, where the bipolar input range directly interfaces to +/-5V or 0-12V drive signals without external attenuator op-amps. The integrated track-and-hold suppresses apertures during the 9-microsecond conversion, important in PWM-driven systems where full-scale ripples occur at tens of kHz. Housed in a wide-body 24-pin SOIC, it tolerates the thermal envelope of a sealed industrial inverter compartment and pairs with companion parts such as the MAX1156AEUP+T for higher-speed current loops.

🔬

Instrumentation Front-End Digitizer

The MAX163BCWG+ works well in bench instrumentation (DMMs, data loggers, transducer readouts) where a low-noise analog front end feeds a single 12-bit channel. Designers use the internal 4.096V reference or an external ratiometric reference for strain-gauge bridges; the 0.5-LSB INL is ample for 4 1/2-digit panel meters. The bipolar input (with -5V VSS) accepts +/-4.096V naturally, so a single MAX163BCWG+ replaces a discrete op-amp gain stage plus ADC in legacy designs.

🧩

Precision Sensor Signal Conditioning

The MAX163BCWG+ digitizes outputs from load cells, pressure transducers, and thermocouple-amplifier boards. Ratiometric ADC operation uses the excitation voltage as the reference, so drift in the bridge excitation cancels and precision is limited by the amplifier's noise floor rather than reference temperature coefficient. Designers place a precision op-amp such as the MAX4208 in front of the analog input to drive the 25 mA-capable input of the MAX163BCWG+, achieving 12-bit digital readouts at rates up to 73 kS/s.

🎧

Audio Front-End Sampling (Legacy)

Although superseded by delta-sigma ADCs in modern audio, the MAX163BCWG+ still appears in legacy audio-test equipment where 12-bit, 73 kS/s conversion is acceptable for sub-FM broadcast sampling. Its bipolar-input capability is useful for digitizing microphone preamp outputs referenced to ground, and the SOIC-24 footprint matches legacy through-hole and surface-mount DAC/ADC evaluation boards dating from the mid-1990s.

🖥️

Multiplexed Analog Input Subsystem

For PLC and SCADA analog input cards that scan many channels sequentially, the MAX163BCWG+'s 9-microsecond conversion plus a front-end 4051/74HC4051 analog multiplexer forms a complete, low-cost 8-channel 12-bit analog input. The on-chip track-and-hold accommodates the multiplexer settling time, so each channel can be settled to 0.5 LSB within a single scan cycle. The wide-body SOIC footprint also allows a clean split between the analog front-end multiplexer and the digital back-end isolators.

🔋

Battery Cell Voltage Monitor

In large battery stacks the MAX163BCWG+ works as a single-channel 12-bit cell voltage monitor. The bipolar-input capability (with external resistor dividers) can directly accept voltages up to +/-12V, scaling individual Li-ion (3.6 V nominal) or 12V lead-acid cells to the 4.096V reference range. The 73 kS/s throughput suits low-frequency monitoring rather than dynamic cell balancing telemetry. The SOIC-24 footprint occupies manageable board area in multi-cell monitors where each cell needs its own ADC channel.

What is the resolution and architecture of MAX163BCWG+?
The MAX163BCWG+ is a 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with an integrated track-and-hold input front end. According to the Maxim datasheet family description, the SAR core uses calibrated charge-redistribution capacitors, delivering 12-bit accuracy with no missing codes over the commercial 0C to +70C range. The wide-body 24-pin SOIC package exposes separate analog and digital ground pins to support split-ground PCB layouts.
Does MAX163BCWG+ require a negative supply voltage?
The MAX163BCWG+ is designed for bipolar input operation and uses a -5V to -12V VSS in addition to +5V VDD. Without VSS, only unipolar 0-5V ratiometric conversion is available, because the bipolar input scaling network needs the negative rail. Designs that cannot tolerate a negative rail should consider an alternative part rather than running the MAX163BCWG+ on a single supply.
What is the internal reference voltage of MAX163BCWG+?
The MAX163BCWG+ incorporates a buried-zener on-chip reference trimmed to 4.096V nominal. Using this internal reference streamlines the BOM versus an external reference, but the part also accepts an external reference at the REF pin for ratiometric applications (such as bridge pressure sensors) where the ADC reference tracks the excitation voltage.
Where can I download the MAX163BCWG+ datasheet PDF?
The MAX163BCWG+ datasheet is available at https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/72885/MAXIM/MAX163BCWG.html in PDF format covering approximately 14 pages. The same datasheet document number applies to the entire MAX162/MAX163/MAX164 family, so the pinout, electrical characteristics, and application circuits for the MAX163BCWG+ can be cross-referenced from the family datasheet.
What is the pin configuration of the MAX163BCWG+?
The MAX163BCWG+ uses a 24-pin wide-body SOIC (CWG suffix) with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is VDD, with separate AGND and DGND pins, VSS at pin 19, and analog input (AIN) plus reference (REF) pins on the analog side. Refer to the datasheet pinout diagram for exact numbering; unused package pins should still be routed to a defined logic level or marked as NC per the datasheet pin list.
How much does MAX163BCWG+ cost in 100-piece quantity?
As of 2026-10-14, distributor pricing for MAX163BCWG+ in 100-piece quantity is approximately $6.05 per unit, with unit-only buyers priced around $7.50 and 1,000-piece reels near $4.80. Prices are reference values from distributor listings; for a live quote that includes shipping and reels, request a quotation on XAIPART.
Is MAX163BCWG+ currently in stock at distributors?
Authorized distributors list MAX163BCWG+ as in stock at DigiKey (DigiKey part number 505-MAX163BCWG+-ND) and on Octopart aggregated sources, though actual stock and factory lead times should be confirmed with the distributor at order time, particularly in 1,000-piece or larger tape-and-reel quantities.
What is the typical conversion time of MAX163BCWG+?
The MAX163BCWG+ converts in approximately 9 microseconds when driven from a 4.7 MHz external clock, corresponding to a maximum throughput near 73 kS/s; this figure is from the Maxim MAX163 family datasheet. At slower external clock rates the conversion time scales inversely, allowing designers to trade speed for lower digital noise.
Can MAX163CCWG+ replace MAX163BCWG+ in an existing design?
Yes, the MAX163CCWG+ is the C-grade speed/grade variant of the MAX163 family and is pin-compatible with the MAX163BCWG+ in the same SOIC-24 package, making it a drop-in replacement. The MAX163CEWG+ (E-grade with extended temperature range) also serves as a drop-in, providing parts-list flexibility between B/C/E temperature grades without re-laying out the PCB.
What replaced or is the cross reference for MAX163BCWG+?
The same-package drop-in cross-references for MAX163BCWG+ include MAX163CCWG+ (same CWG 24-pin SOIC, C temperature grade), MAX163CEWG+ (CEWG SOIC-24, E temperature grade -40C to +85C), MAX163BCWG+T (tape-and-reel packaging variant of the same die), and MAX163AEWG/MAX163BEWG (A or B grade) - all from Maxim/Analog Devices and fully pin-compatible in the SOIC-24 layout.
What are the key specifications of MAX163BCWG+ that engineers should know?
The MAX163BCWG+ integrates a 12-bit SAR ADC with on-chip track-and-hold and a 4.096V internal reference, runs from +5V and -5V to -12V dual supplies, accepts a single-ended analog input with bipolar or unipolar ranges, and delivers conversions in approximately 9 microseconds at 4.7 MHz clock. The wide-body SOIC-24 footprint exposes separate AGND/DGND pins for star-ground layouts to preserve 12-bit performance in noisy environments.
Is MAX163BCWG+ suitable for motor-control current monitoring?
Yes, the MAX163BCWG+ is well suited to motor-control analog front ends, particularly DC bus voltage and shunt-current sensing channels. Its bipolar-input capability (with external scaling) accepts +/-5V or 0-12V ranges typical of industrial motor-control I/O, and the integrated track-and-hold avoids conversion errors from motor-PWM switching transients.
What is the difference between MAX163 and MAX162?
The MAX162 is the older Maxim family member with 12-bit resolution and slightly slower conversion. The MAX163 family added speed, lower power consumption, and tighter linearity. When migrating a design from MAX162 to MAX163BCWG+ the pinout of the SOIC-24 is preserved, so the change is a footprint-compatible upgrade path - confirm timing and reference behavior against the new datasheet before committing to a board rev.
When should I choose MAX163BCWG+ over a modern 12-bit SAR ADC?
Choose MAX163BCWG+ when the SOIC-24 footprint, bipolar +/-5V input range, and 0-70C commercial temperature range match an existing design, particularly for designs already using a +5V/-5V analog supply. For new designs where 16-bit or 18-bit resolution is needed, or where the supply is single-rail +3.3V or +5V, a modern SAR with integrated PGA and SPI interface (e.g., MAX1149 or MAX1156) is a stronger choice.
Which manufacturer cross-equivalent replaces MAX163BCWG+ outside the Maxim family?
Outside the Maxim/Analog Devices family there is no true drop-in 24-pin SOIC cross-equivalent for MAX163BCWG+. The next-closest cross-brand choices from Texas Instruments such as the ADS774 or ADS7806 are 20-pin SOIC or similar, which would require PCB rework. For a same-footprint substitute, stay within the MAX163 CWG-package family (B/C/CE-grade versions).

Guide de sélection

Choose the MAX163BCWG+ when your analog input voltage range requires bipolar +/-5V or 0-12V ranges, when your design already has a +5V / -5V split supply, and when the SOIC-24 footprint with separated AGND/DGND fits your analog ground isolation strategy. The MAX163BCWG+ is best for industrial process-control DAQ, instrumentation front ends, and legacy motor-control analog input boards, where its integrated track-and-hold preserves accuracy in multiplexed systems. Switch to MAX163CCWG+ for slight cost savings (same grade B vs C, both commercial temperature). Switch to MAX163CEWG+ or MAX163BEWG+ if you need industrial -40C to +85C temperature coverage - they share the EWG SOIC-24 footprint. Choose MAX1304ECM/V+ if you need multiple integrated input channels, or MAX1165AEUI+T if 16-bit resolution is required - those are cross-package and require PCB rework, so they are not drop-in substitutions.

Notes de conception

The MAX163BCWG+ requires a +5V VDD and a -5V to -12V VSS supply; bypass with a 10 uF tantalum in parallel with a 0.1 uF ceramic on each supply pin, placed within 0.25 inch of the device. Decouple the VSS pin equally carefully because analog input range depends on VSS. Estimated: a clean dual supply is essential to extract 12-bit INL performance.

Route separate analog (AGND, pin 5) and digital (DGND, pin 6) ground returns, joining both at the MAX163BCWG+ chip's ground pins in a Star-ground configuration to avoid digital-switching currents creating ground loops inside the package. Place the ADC on a quiet analog copper island and keep switching logic 25 mm or more away on its own digital island. Estimated: the integrated track-and-hold will still be subject to INL errors if digital switching transients reach the analog input via ground bounce.

Do not connect AIN directly to the analog signal without a low-impedance source-follower buffer; the ADC's sample-and-hold capacitor draws a transient charge during acquisition that can introduce gain error if the source impedance exceeds 1 kohm. For unipolar-only designs that lack a negative rail, choose a different ADC rather than leaving VSS floating - leaving VSS unconnected disables bipolar operation.

Use a parallel 5 ohm + 100 nF RC between the analog input pin and AGND for supraharmonic RFI suppression, with the resistor close to the analog input and the capacitor returning to AGND. Keep the AGND-side of this cap separate from the digital return. Estimated: this adds 25 ns of acquisition delay but rejects cell-phone-banded RFI picked up by unshielded analog cables in industrial environments.

Driven by a clock above 4.7 MHz the conversion time may degrade - check the data sheet's CLKIN-vs-conversion-time table. Plan for a 9 us conversion and a small margin (5-10%) when integrating with a microcontroller SPI interface; overrun T/H conversions are a common 12-bit ADC source of intermittent drift.
