MAX118EPI+ - 8-Channel 8-Bit 1MSPS ADC | Maxim Integrated
The Maxim Integrated MAX118EPI+ is an 8-channel, 8-bit, 1MSPS parallel-output flash analog-to-digital converter housed in a 28-pin PDIP package. It operates from a single +5V supply, accepts eight analog inputs, and supports microprocessor-compatible data acquisition. Its half-flash conversion architecture achieves a 660ns conversion time, while active-low power-down reduces supply current typically to 1µA.
An analog-to-digital converter, or ADC, converts continuously varying analog voltages into digital values for processing, measurement, or control. The MAX118 belongs to the parallel-interface ADC hierarchy within data-converter and mixed-signal semiconductors. Unlike serial-interface converters, its eight-bit digital result is presented through parallel output lines, allowing direct connection to compatible microprocessor, microcontroller, or logic interfaces without a serial protocol.
The MAX118EPI+ provides one million conversions per second, an eight-bit resolution, and eight analog input channels. Its single +5V operation simplifies power-supply design in legacy and industrial equipment. The half-flash architecture is specifically intended to combine rapid conversion performance with microprocessor-compatible operation. An active-low power-down input permits the converter to remain at approximately 1µA when it is not needed and supports recovery to normal operation in less than 200ns.
The MAX118 family is offered in four-channel and eight-channel versions. The MAX118EPI+ is the eight-channel industrial-grade version in a 28-pin PDIP package. Its through-hole package supports legacy control boards and systems assembled with socketed or perforated-board construction. The parallel architecture makes the device particularly relevant to older industrial controllers, data acquisition instruments, and embedded systems that use direct digital input lines rather than SPI, I2C, or other serial ADC interfaces.
Typical uses include eight-channel sensor acquisition, process monitoring, laboratory measurement, industrial control, and legacy data logging. Eight analog channels can be sampled for temperature, pressure, position, or analog instrumentation signals, provided each signal remains within the device's supported input range and the system provides suitable conditioning. The 1MSPS conversion rate supports faster-changing events than a slow general-purpose system ADC while retaining a simple eight-bit parallel data path.
Designers should verify the complete pinout, input ranges, acquisition timing, and digital interface behavior against the manufacturer datasheet before layout or firmware work. Analog signal routing should minimize noise and crosstalk, while adequate bypassing should be placed close to the supply pins. Because this is a legacy parallel-interface converter, replacement decisions must consider not only resolution, speed, and channel count but also exact pin compatibility, logic levels, and timing.
This page combines manufacturer specifications, distributor pricing and availability data, same-family replacement information, and practical migration guidance. It distinguishes verified drop-in candidates from broader functional similarities so engineers can evaluate MAX118EPI+ replacements without confusing package compatibility with complete electrical equivalence.
