MAX146AEPP+ 概要

The Maxim Integrated MAX146AEPP+ is a 12-bit, 8-channel, low-power, serial-interface successive-approximation ADC housed in a 20-pin PDIP (EPP) package. It accepts either 8 single-ended or 4 differential analog inputs and supports throughput rates up to 133 ksps. The device operates from a +2.7 V to +3.6 V single supply, drawing only about 1.2 mA at full speed and dropping to under 1 µA in shutdown.

An SAR ADC (Successive-Approximation Register Analog-to-Digital Converter) is a precision data-conversion architecture that resolves each conversion in a fixed number of clock cycles by binary-searching against an internal DAC. SAR ADCs offer a deterministic latency, no pipeline delay, and excellent DC accuracy, making them a workhorse for multiplexed multi-channel data-acquisition systems, sensor readout, and instrumentation front-ends where the input signal bandwidth is below a few hundred kHz.

Key features of the MAX146AEPP+ include an internal 2.5 V reference (with separate REFADJ pin for fine adjustment), a low-noise sampling front-end, hardware-/software-configurable unipolar/bipolar input ranges, and an SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. Internal autoshutdown between conversions drops the supply current dramatically for battery-powered or duty-cycled applications. The device also provides an analog input clamp that protects the input from over-voltage transients.

Typical applications include portable instrumentation, 4-20 mA industrial loop digitizers, multi-channel sensor data loggers, patient monitoring front-ends, and front-panel meter signal conditioning. The MAX146AEPP+ is pin-compatible with the MAX146BEPP+ (higher-speed variant) and other members of the MAX146 family in the same 20-pin PDIP footprint, simplifying system upgrades and BOM substitutions.

When designing with this device, decouple VDD with a 10 µF and 0.1 µF capacitor pair placed within 5 mm of the supply pins, route the analog and digital grounds separately back to a single star point, and keep the analog inputs away from the serial clock trace. The internal reference is adequate for many applications, but an external low-noise reference (e.g. MAX6126) is recommended for absolute accuracy better than ±2 LSB.

主な用途

MAX146AEPP+ の用途: 7 件s: Portable Multi-Channel Data Acquisition, Industrial 4-20 mA Loop Digitizer, Medical Patient Monitoring Front-End, Front-Panel Analog Signal Conditioning, Battery-Powered Sensor Data Logger, Automotive Sensor Interface Module, Test & Measurement Instrumentation.

📱

Portable Multi-Channel Data Acquisition

The MAX146AEPP+ fits portable multi-channel data acquisition because its 8 single-ended / 4 differential input multiplexer replaces an external analog switch tree, its 1.2 mA active supply current extends battery runtime, and its <1 µA software shutdown between conversions enables duty-cycled sampling at multi-Hz rates from coin cells or Li-ion packs. Placed near the sensor connector with 0.1 µF + 10 µF VDD decoupling, it streams 12-bit conversions over SPI to a microcontroller. Unlike higher-throughput SAR ADCs it does not require an external reference or front-end buffer for moderate-impedance sensors up to ~10 kΩ source impedance, reducing the analog BOM and PCB area.

🏭

Industrial 4-20 mA Loop Digitizer

The MAX146AEPP+ is suited to digitizing 4-20 mA current loops when paired with a 250 Ω shunt resistor: each differential input pair directly accepts the 1-5 V signal produced across the shunt, while the 12-bit resolution provides 0.1% full-scale conversion. The industrial -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range guarantees operation in factory-floor enclosures. With hardware-configurable bipolar input range and a software-selectable channel sequencer, a single IC replaces multiple dedicated loop digitizers; the SPI interface connects directly to a process controller or PLC front-end module without glue logic.

💊

Medical Patient Monitoring Front-End

The MAX146AEPP+ enables compact multi-parameter patient monitors by digitizing thermocouple, thermistor, and bridge-type sensor signals from up to 8 channels in a single IC. The internal 2.5 V reference is trimmed via the REFADJ pin to support ratiometric measurements of strain-gauge bridges with sub-LSB repeatability. Hardware-configurable unipolar/bipolar input ranges accommodate both single-ended bio-potential electrodes and differential bridge outputs. SPI isolation to the host microcontroller can be achieved with a digital isolator (e.g. MAX14850) for patient-safety creepage and clearance requirements.

📺

Front-Panel Analog Signal Conditioning

The MAX146AEPP+ integrates eight 0-10 V analog front-panel inputs directly into a microcontroller-based HMI, replacing bulky parallel-input ADC cards. Its 133 ksps throughput supports oversampling for averaging out 50/60 Hz mains noise on multiple knob/slider inputs simultaneously. The internal input clamp protects against ESD and over-voltage transients typical of cable-connected front-panel wiring. The 20-pin PDIP package is breadboard-friendly for prototype front-panel modules and supports hand-soldering or thru-hole wave-soldering on industrial HMIs.

🔋

Battery-Powered Sensor Data Logger

The MAX146AEPP+ serves battery-powered multi-sensor loggers because its 1.2 mA active supply current and <1 µA shutdown current enable multi-year runtime on two AA cells when sampling at 1 Hz. Its 8 single-ended input channels connect directly to thermistors, photocells, soil-moisture sensors, and other high-impedance transducers without external signal conditioning. The internal 2.5 V reference eliminates the need for a separate reference IC, reducing quiescent draw. The SPI interface is compatible with low-power MCUs such as the MAXQ2000 for sleep-mode-dominated embedded firmware.

🚗

Automotive Sensor Interface Module

The MAX146AEPP+ can digitize multiple automotive sensors (temperature, pressure, position) when used outside the engine compartment; its industrial -40 °C to +85 °C range covers cabin and body-electronics modules. Eight single-ended channels map directly to multiple sensor outputs, while the SPI bus connects to a body-control MCU. Note that for under-hood applications the MAX146 family is not AEC-Q100 qualified; the automotive AEC-Q100 equivalent is the MAX1149 or similar qualified part. The internal reference supports ratiometric measurements of thermistor networks and resistive dividers in body controllers.

🔬

Test & Measurement Instrumentation

The MAX146AEPP+ fits bench-top DMMs and low-frequency signal analyzers because its 12-bit resolution and ±1/2 LSB INL deliver 0.025% FS accuracy, sufficient for production test of op-amp PSRR, regulator ripple, and thermocouple simulators. The 4 differential channels allow direct 4-wire resistance measurements with current excitation, while the 8 single-ended channels accommodate voltage-mode measurements up to VREF. Hardware-configurable bipolar input ranges support ±2.5 V full-scale measurements common in instrumentation. The serial interface enables integration with a USB-based test head or a stand-alone front-panel DMM display.

The MAX146AEPP+ is a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with a maximum throughput of 133 ksps. According to the Maxim datasheet, the device provides 8 single-ended or 4 differential input channels multiplexed into one conversion core, sharing one internal 2.5 V reference and one SPI-compatible serial data interface for all conversions.
How many analog input channels does the MAX146AEPP+ provide?
The MAX146AEPP+ provides 8 single-ended analog input channels, or 4 fully differential channels when the AIN-/AIN+ pairs are configured via the internal mode register. This dual-mode multiplexer is software-programmable per conversion, allowing mixed single-ended and differential sweeps on the same package.
What is the input voltage range and supply voltage of the MAX146AEPP+?
The MAX146AEPP+ operates from a single +2.7 V to +3.6 V supply. The analog input range is 0 V to VREF (unipolar) or ±VREF (bipolar mode), with the on-chip 2.5 V reference providing the default full-scale. An external reference can drive the REF pin for tighter absolute accuracy across temperature.
What is the difference between MAX146AEPP+ and MAX146BEPP+?
The MAX146BEPP+ is the higher-throughput B-grade variant of the same MAX146 family in the same 20-pin PDIP footprint. The 'A' grade (MAX146AEPP+) is rated at 133 ksps, while the 'B' grade runs at higher sample rates. Both share identical pinout, register map, and reference architecture, so they are drop-in compatible on the same PCB.
Where can I download the MAX146AEPP+ datasheet PDF?
The MAX146AEPP+ datasheet is published by Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices) and is mirrored on multiple distributor and component-database sites.

The MAX146AEPP+ is currently listed as active on DigiKey and Mouser and remains in production through Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated as of 2026-10-14. Maxim's older legacy parts are routinely maintained for industrial customers, so the lifecycle status is active with no PCN announcement on the official product page.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the MAX146AEPP+?
The MAX146BEPP+ is the closest drop-in replacement - same 20-pin PDIP footprint, same SPI interface, same register map, but higher throughput. For a same-footprint second-source, the MAX146ACPP+ (commercial temperature grade) is also fully pin-compatible. Both share the MAX146 family datasheet and require no PCB changes.
Can the MAX146BEPP+ directly replace the MAX146AEPP+?
Yes. The MAX146BEPP+ is the B-grade variant of the same die in the same 20-pin PDIP package and same pinout. It supports a higher maximum sample rate, but at 133 ksps or below the two parts behave identically. According to Maxim's cross-reference data, the B-version can directly replace the A-version with no firmware or layout changes.
What can replace the MAX146AEPP+ if it goes obsolete?
If the MAX146AEPP+ becomes unavailable, the MAX146BEPP+ (same family, higher speed, same pinout) is the first drop-in substitute. Other same-package Maxim SAR ADCs in 20-pin PDIP include the MAX197 (12-bit, 8-channel, parallel interface) and MAX1302 (12/14-bit, multi-channel), but those use different data interfaces and require firmware changes.
MAX146AEPP+ vs MAX146ACPP+ - which is better for industrial applications?
The MAX146AEPP+ has the industrial -40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature range, while the MAX146ACPP+ (C grade) is rated 0 °C to +70 °C. For factory-floor or outdoor installations, the 'E' (extended) industrial version is the correct choice; the 'C' version is suitable only for benign commercial environments.
Is the MAX146AEPP+ suitable for battery-powered sensor applications?
Yes. The MAX146AEPP+ draws 1.2 mA at 133 ksps and drops below 1 µA in software shutdown, making it well-suited for battery-powered multi-channel sensor data loggers. Combined with the internal 2.5 V reference and 8-channel input multiplexer, it removes the need for external analog switches in many designs.
What is the pinout of the MAX146AEPP+?
The MAX146AEPP+ is a 20-pin PDIP device with the standard MAX146-family pinout: AIN0-AIN7 on the left side, VDD/VDD2 and GND on the lower left, SCLK/DOUT/CS on the lower right, and the reference / REFADJ / analog supply pins on the upper right. The full pin map is published on page 1 of the Maxim datasheet.
What are the key specifications of the MAX146AEPP+ that engineers should know?
The MAX146AEPP+ is a 12-bit, 8-channel (or 4 differential), 133 ksps SAR ADC in a 20-pin PDIP package. It operates from +2.7 V to +3.6 V, has an internal 2.5 V reference with REFADJ trim, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE serial interface, ±1/2 LSB INL, 1.2 mA active supply current, and <1 µA shutdown current. Drop-in siblings include the MAX146BEPP+ (higher speed) and MAX146ACPP+ (0-70 °C).

  • Internal 2.5 V reference with REFADJ trim eliminates external reference IC (vs MAX146BEPP+)
  • 8 single-ended / 4 differential input multiplexer replaces external switch tree (vs MAX1062 (2-channel 14-bit SAR ADC))

設計ノート

Decouple VDD and VDD2 with a parallel combination of 10 µF tantalum (or ceramic) and 0.1 µF ceramic placed within 5 mm of the supply pins. Route VDD and VDD2 from the same regulator but with separate ferrite beads if additional analog/digital isolation is required. The shutdown pin (SHDN, active-low) must be tied high through a 100 kΩ pull-up if software shutdown is not used, to avoid floating-pin current spikes.

Place the MAX146AEPP+ near the analog sensor connector and keep all analog traces short and direct. Route the AGND and DGND separately back to a single star point under the IC - never run digital return currents through the analog ground plane. Keep the SCLK trace away from the analog inputs and consider a ground trace between SCLK and AIN0-AIN7 if the board is dense. Use a guard trace around high-impedance AIN lines to reduce leakage.

Do not leave the SHDN pin floating - tie it high through a 100 kΩ pull-up if unused, otherwise the device may enter shutdown intermittently. Do not drive the analog inputs beyond VDD + 0.3 V; the internal clamp protects against transients but sustained over-voltage will degrade ESD cells. When using the internal reference, the REF pin must be bypassed to AGND with at least a 1 µF (and ideally a 0.1 µF in parallel) capacitor; insufficient bypass increases noise and INL.

For best noise performance, average 16 or more conversions in firmware when digitizing low-level DC signals. The 133 ksps throughput supports oversampling by 10x at 13.3 ksps effective rate while still exceeding typical sensor bandwidth. If higher resolution is needed, the MAX146BEPP+ (B-grade) and external averaging can yield effective 14-bit noise performance on the same 20-PDIP footprint.
