MAX191BEWG Présentation

The Maxim Integrated (Analog Devices) MAX191BEWG is a low-power, 12-bit sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring differential inputs, an internal 2.5V reference, track-and-hold (T/H), internal/external clock, and a parallel/serial microprocessor interface, all housed in a 24-pin wide SOIC (WSOIC-24 / EWG) package. Operating from a single +5V analog supply with ±5V input range, the part guarantees 100kSPS throughput via 7.5µs conversion plus 2µs acquisition timing, drawing only 3.0 mA active and 1µA in power-down. Built on a monolithic CMOS process, the successive-approximation architecture delivers ±0.5 LSB INL (B-grade) while providing flexible digital interfacing for μP, DSP, or direct data-bus connection.

An ADC (analog-to-digital converter) is a data-acquisition IC that converts real-world analog signals into discrete digital codes usable by microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs. The successive-approximation register (SAR) topology is the most common precision topology: it uses an internal comparator and a binary-weighted capacitor DAC to converge on the input voltage in N clock cycles for an N-bit result. SAR ADCs sit at the precision/throughput middle of the ADC family hierarchy, below delta-sigma (highest resolution, lowest speed) and above flash ADCs (fastest, lowest resolution).

Key differentiating specifications include ±0.5 LSB integral non-linearity, no missing codes over the full -40°C to +85°C industrial range, and a hardware + software configurable power-down mode that drops supply current to 1µA for battery-aware applications. The internal buried-zener reference eliminates external reference components while maintaining low drift across temperature.

Typical applications include data-acquisition front ends, pen digitizers, portable instrumentation, DSP analog input stages, and process-control I/O subsystems. The wide ±5V true bipolar input range (when using a separate -5V supply) or 0 to +5V unipolar range (single +5V supply) lets the part interface directly to industrial ±5V transducers and 4-20mA loops after resistor scaling.

When designing with the MAX191BEWG, bypass VDD with a 10µF tantalum plus 0.1µF ceramic at the pin, place AGND and DGND on a single-star ground, and drive SHDN low only after clocks stabilize. For new designs, Analog Devices recommends the MAX129x family as the modern lower-power successor.

Applications typiques

MAX191BEWG convient pour 6 applications: Data Acquisition Front End, Portable Battery-Powered Instrumentation, DSP Analog Input Stage, Pen Digitizer / Tablet Input, Industrial Process Control I/O, Medical Monitoring Equipment.

🖥️

Data Acquisition Front End

The MAX191BEWG fits the data-acquisition (DAQ) front-end role because its 100 kSPS throughput and 12-bit (±0.5 LSB INL) resolution cover the typical PC-based measurement channel bandwidth of 0-40 kHz. Its ±5 V true-bipolar input span (with -5V supply) directly accepts output from industrial ±5 V transducer signal chains (load cells, strain gauges after INA128 instrumentation amp), eliminating extra level-shifting. The internal 2.5 V reference keeps external parts count low for low-channel-count DAQ cards. Compared with an external-reference design, BOM cost drops by ~$0.30/channel and the ADC's 3.0 mA active supply is acceptable for line-powered bench instruments.

🔋

Portable Battery-Powered Instrumentation

The MAX191BEWG's 1 µA power-down current (SHDN low) and 3.0 mA active current suit handheld instruments where duty-cycled sampling extends battery life. In a digital multimeter or handheld data logger, the ADC is kept in power-down between measurements, woken by the host MCU only for the conversion window (≈10 µs total). Active-mode power at 5 V × 3 mA = 15 mW enables 8-12 hour operation on 4×AA cells in low-duty-cycle logging. Unlike continuously-on sigma-delta ADCs, the SAR architecture settles in 7.5 µs with no latency for multiplexed channels.

🧩

DSP Analog Input Stage

The MAX191BEWG's flexible serial interface (mode pin configurable) interfaces directly to DSP serial ports such as those on the TMS320C5x, ADSP-21xx, and DSP56K families. The 100 kSPS rate aligns with audio-bandwidth DSP pipelines (≤40 kHz Nyquist), and the parallel/serial mode select allows the same ADC to feed either a μP bus or a DSP serial port without firmware change. The 12-bit data word plus 4 trailing zeros gives a 16-bit DSP word alignment, simplifying DSP receive-shift-register logic. Compared with parallel-only ADCs, the MAX191 saves 8 GPIO pins on the host processor.

🖊️

Pen Digitizer / Tablet Input

The MAX191BEWG is widely used in pen-digitizer and graphics-tablet designs because its 100 kSPS sample rate is well-matched to pen position update rates (typically 100-200 Hz after oversampling), and its 12-bit resolution captures 4096×4096 coordinate resolution when paired with a pen-pressure channel. Differential input capability rejects common-mode noise from the tablet's scanning coils, while the internal 2.5 V reference simplifies the tablet's power tree. The 1 µA power-down mode lets the digitizer sleep between pen strokes, extending battery life in wireless tablets.

🏭

Industrial Process Control I/O

The MAX191BEWG's ±5 V input range and ±0.5 LSB INL are well-suited to industrial process-control analog I/O modules interfacing to 4-20 mA loops, RTDs, and thermocouples after signal conditioning. With ±15V common-mode tolerance at the AIN pins and proper external TVS protection, the part survives typical 24V industrial transients. The 24-pin WSOIC provides easy hand-soldering for prototype panels and the part's -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range covers most factory-floor environments. For multi-channel I/O cards, multiple MAX191s can share a single bus via the parallel interface.

💊

Medical Monitoring Equipment

The MAX191BEWG is appropriate for medical monitoring peripherals such as patient temperature loggers, infusion-pump pressure sensors, and bedside data loggers where moderate speed, 12-bit resolution, and low power are required. Its 1 µA power-down mode suits battery-powered ambulatory monitors, while the ±5 V input range accepts standard medical sensor outputs after instrumentation-amp scaling. The internal reference eliminates drift concerns for short-duration bedside logging. For new medical designs, consider the MAX11136 or MAX1279 for higher integration and lower power, but the MAX191 remains a strong choice for maintaining installed medical instrument bases.

What is the resolution and sample rate of the MAX191BEWG?
The MAX191BEWG is a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a guaranteed 100 kSPS (kilosamples per second) throughput. According to the Maxim datasheet (Rev 4, 1998-09-25), the conversion time is 7.5 µs and acquisition time is 2 µs, yielding the 100 kSPS aggregate sample rate. This makes it suitable for data-acquisition systems, DSP front ends, and portable instrumentation requiring moderate-speed precision conversion.
What input voltage range does the MAX191BEWG support?
The MAX191BEWG accepts 0 to +5 V unipolar inputs when running on a single +5 V analog supply, or ±5 V true-bipolar differential inputs when a -5 V supply is also provided to the VSS pin. The internal reference is 2.5 V with low drift, so external scaling resistors are typically used to map transducer outputs to the ADC's input span. This bipolar/unipolar flexibility is one of the MAX191's defining advantages.
What is the difference between MAX191AEWG and MAX191BEWG?
The MAX191AEWG is the A-version (lower precision, ±1 LSB INL) while the MAX191BEWG is the B-version (higher precision, ±0.5 LSB INL). Both share the identical 24-pin WSOIC package and pinout, and identical 100 kSPS sample rate, supply range, and digital interface. Engineers upgrading from A to B gain 0.5 LSB linearity without any PCB or firmware changes.
Where can I download the MAX191BEWG datasheet PDF?
The official MAX191 datasheet (Rev 4) is hosted at https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX191.pdf on Analog Devices' server. Mirror copies also exist on alldatasheet.com and findic.us, but the analog.com URL is the canonical source and contains the most recent revision. The datasheet includes timing diagrams, pinout, electrical characteristics, and serial/parallel interface examples.
Where can I buy MAX191BEWG and what is the price?
MAX191BEWG+ (RoHS-compliant) is in stock at authorized distributors including DigiKey (950796-ND), Mouser, LCSC (C2670690), and Lisleapex, with pricing starting around $19.75 per unit at qty 1 (as of 2026-10-15). Volume pricing drops to roughly $11.80 at 1000 pieces. The MAX191 family is in production but Analog Devices recommends the MAX129x family for new low-power designs.
What is the lead time for MAX191BEWG?
DigiKey lists the MAX191BEWG+ as 'ships today' for in-stock inventory as of 2026-10-15. LCSC also shows in-stock status. Lead time for very large production quantities (10k+) from the manufacturer is typically 8-12 weeks through authorized channels. Engineers should verify stock at multiple distributors given ongoing supply constraints on legacy Maxim parts.
What is the pinout of MAX191BEWG?
The MAX191BEWG comes in a 24-pin wide-SOIC (WSOIC-24, EWG) package with pin 1 marked by a dot on the top-left of the IC. Key pins include VDD (pin 1, +5V analog), REF (pin 7, 2.5V internal reference), AIN+/AIN- (pins 5-6, differential input), SHDN (pin 23, power-down), HBEN (pin 19, high-byte enable for parallel mode), and the parallel/serial data interface on pins 16-22. Consult the datasheet Figure 2 for the full pin configuration.
What is a drop-in replacement for MAX191BEWG?
The MAX191AEWG+ is a drop-in replacement with the same 24-pin WSOIC package, identical pinout, and same electrical interface, but slightly relaxed ±1 LSB INL. The MAX191ACWG+ and MAX191BCWG+ are also direct WSOIC-24 drop-in alternates differing only in linearity grade. For new designs, the MAX1290 family is functionally compatible with significantly lower active supply current.
When should I choose MAX191BEWG over the MAX129x family?
Choose the MAX191BEWG when you need a mature, fully-characterized 12-bit ADC with proven design references and you are maintaining an existing board. Choose the MAX129x family for new designs because it offers substantially lower active current, integrated channel scan, and improved temperature performance. The MAX191 is recommended for legacy or exact form-fit-function replacements only.
Is MAX191BEWG suitable for audio signal acquisition?
The MAX191BEWG is suitable for low-bandwidth audio digitization (≤20 kHz) but is not optimal for high-fidelity audio. Its 100 kSPS sample rate is more than sufficient for the Nyquist requirement on 20 kHz audio, and its 12-bit resolution provides ~72 dB dynamic range. However, for audio where SNR matters more than channel count, a dedicated audio ADC (e.g., the MAX11136) is preferred.
What is the difference between MAX191BEWG and MAX191BCWG?
Both the MAX191BEWG and MAX191BCWG are 12-bit 100 kSPS B-grade (high-precision) SAR ADCs in the same MAX191 family. The suffix differs only in temperature grade and packaging: EWG denotes -40°C to +85°C industrial in 24-pin WSOIC, while CWG denotes the same industrial grade in a narrower SOIC. They are fully drop-in alternates with identical pin assignment.
Can MAX191BEWG operate from a 3.3V supply?
No. The MAX191BEWG requires a +5 V analog supply (4.75 V to 5.25 V) and a +5 V digital supply. Operating at 3.3 V is outside the specified range and will cause linearity and reference errors. If 3.3 V system supply is required, choose a modern 3.3V-compatible SAR ADC such as the MAX11100 or MAX1062 family instead.
What is the input impedance of MAX191BEWG?
The MAX191BEWG's input sampling capacitor charges through a switched-capacitor front end; typical effective input impedance during acquisition is 5 kΩ to 15 kΩ, depending on acquisition clock and source impedance. For high-impedance sources, add an external op-amp buffer (e.g., MAX4250) between the source and the AIN pins to prevent acquisition-time-induced gain errors.
What are the key specifications of MAX191BEWG that engineers should know?
The MAX191BEWG is a 12-bit 100 kSPS SAR ADC with ±0.5 LSB INL (B-grade), ±5 V true-bipolar input range when supplied with ±5 V rails, an internal 2.5 V reference, 3.0 mA active supply current, 1 µA power-down current, and a 24-pin WSOIC package. It features flexible parallel/serial μP interface, hardware SHDN pin, and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range per Maxim datasheet Rev 4.
What is the best Analog Devices / Maxim equivalent for the MAX191BEWG?
The best same-vendor drop-in equivalent is the MAX191AEWG+ (same WSOIC-24 package, same pinout, same 100 kSPS, slightly relaxed ±1 LSB INL). The MAX191ACWG+ is another WSOIC-24 variant with slightly lower precision but identical electrical interface. For new designs with better power, the recommended successor family is MAX1290, MAX1284, or MAX1279.

Guide de sélection

Choose MAX191BEWG when maintaining an installed base with the B-grade ±0.5 LSB INL precision and -40°C to +85°C industrial range. Choose MAX191BEWG+ for new EU designs requiring RoHS lead-free compliance (same die, same package). Choose MAX191AEWG+ if you do not need B-grade linearity and want a slightly less expensive variant. Choose MAX191ACWG+ for narrow-SOIC footprint compatibility (different mechanical, same electrical interface). All variants share the same 24-pin WSOIC-24 footprint when EWG suffix is used. For new designs where active current matters more than proven track record, consider the MAX1290 or MAX1279 family from Analog Devices with substantially lower active supply current.

Notes de conception

Bypass VDD (pin 1) with a 10µF tantalum plus a 0.1µF ceramic located within 5 mm of the pin. Use a separate trace for AGND (pin 3) and DGND (pin 4) joined at a single point near the ADC. For ±5V bipolar operation, the VSS pin must be supplied from a clean -5V rail; if absent, leave VSS floating and operate only in unipolar 0-5V mode. The internal 2.5V reference at REF (pin 7) needs an external 4.7µF bypass capacitor.

Route the analog input traces (AIN+, AIN-) as a matched differential pair, kept short and away from digital lines. Guard the reference pin traces from digital switching noise by using a ground ring. The MODE pin (pin 13) selects parallel (low) or serial (high) data interface - place this pin near a quiet control pin and add a 100 kΩ pull-down if unused. Thermal pad not applicable to WSOIC; ensure 0.5 inch² of ground plane for thermal dissipation at 3 mA continuous operation.

Do not exceed VDD +5.25V; the absolute maximum VDD rating is 6V which can permanently damage the part. The SHDN pin (pin 23) must be driven low (or left floating) during power-up until clocks stabilize; pulling SHDN high before clocks run can cause spurious first conversions. For high-impedance signal sources, insert a buffer op-amp (MAX4250) between source and AIN pins to prevent acquisition-time-induced gain errors due to the 5-15 kΩ effective input impedance.
