MAX166DCPP
MAX166DCPP - 5µs 8-Bit ADC with T/H, 20-PDIP | Maxim Integrated
The Maxim Integrated MAX166DCPP is a 5µs, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with an on-chip track-and-hold amplifier and 2.46V internal reference, housed in a 20-pin plastic DIP (PDIP-20) through-hole package. It is part of the MAX165/MAX166 family of CMOS, microprocessor-compatible ADCs that deliver successive-approximation conversions at up to 200 ksps, with the suffix codes (DC = commercial, D = -40°C to +85°C, C = 0°C to +70°C suffix variant) defining the operating-temperature window and grade.
An SAR (successive-approximation register) ADC is a type of analog-to-digital converter that uses a binary-search algorithm against an internal DAC to converge on the input voltage in N clock cycles for an N-bit result. In the broader IC hierarchy, an SAR ADC belongs to the data-converter family, which sits under mixed-signal ICs alongside DACs, comparators, and ADCs; this category is essential wherever analog transducers (sensors, audio, instrumentation) must interface to digital microcontrollers, processors, or DSPs. The MAX166's integrated track/hold allows it to acquire full-scale sine-wave inputs up to 50 kHz (386 mV/µs slew rate) without distortion, which is a key engineering advantage over ADCs without front-end T/H stages.
Key specifications include 5µs conversion time (200 ksps throughput), 8-bit resolution with single-ended analog input, on-chip 2.46V reference (stable to ±5% over temperature), parallel μP-compatible digital interface, and single +5V analog supply operation. The device also features low power dissipation of approximately 30 mW typical and a software-friendly RD/CS logic interface that connects directly to 8051, 68HC11, PIC and other common microcontroller buses.
Architecturally, the MAX166 combines a capacitive-charge-distribution DAC with a high-speed comparator and SAR control logic, plus a sample-and-hold gate that holds the input during conversion. This topology avoids the missing-code issues common to lower-cost 8-bit ADCs and gives true 8-bit linearity across the full -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Typical applications include portable instrumentation, data-acquisition front ends, process-control loops, audio metering, and microprocessor-based measurement systems. Because of its parallel interface and through-hole package, the MAX166DCPP is also widely used in legacy industrial designs, educational kits, and prototyping breadboard systems where SOIC would be impractical. The MAX166 is a recommended replacement for industry-standard AD7574 / AD670 in new and existing designs.
When designing with the MAX166DCPP, observe the analog/digital ground separation guidelines in the datasheet to avoid digital switching noise coupling into the reference or analog input. Decouple VDD with both a 10µF tantalum and a 0.1µF ceramic placed as close as practical to the supply pin, and keep the REF pin bypassed with a 4.7µF capacitor to preserve ADC linearity.
