MAX170CCPA 概要

The Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated) MAX170CCPA is a 12-bit, 125 kSPS successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with an integrated 2.5 V buried-zener reference, packaged in an 8-pin PDIP. It combines high conversion speed (5.6 us conversion time) with a low-power serial interface, drawing approximately 1.5 mA from a single +5 V supply.

An ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) is a semiconductor device that converts a continuous analog input voltage into a discrete digital code proportional to the magnitude of the input. Successive-approximation ADCs like the MAX170 use a binary-search algorithm through an internal DAC and comparator, balancing speed, resolution, and die cost. They sit in the broader taxonomy of data-converter ICs (sub-family: SAR ADC), which themselves belong to the data acquisition and signal-chain semiconductor category. Internal voltage references simplify design by eliminating the need for an external precision reference.

Key features include 5.6 us conversion time, 125 kSPS throughput, an on-chip 2.5 V reference (15 ppm/C typ drift), ±0.5 LSB integral nonlinearity (INL), and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial output. The MAX170 also supports an external reference input when higher accuracy or ratiometric measurements are required. Power-down mode reduces supply current to under 10 uA between conversions, ideal for battery-powered or low-duty-cycle instrumentation.

Architecturally, the MAX170 uses a charge-redistribution DAC array combined with a high-speed comparator and successive-approximation register (SAR). The buried-zener reference provides low noise and excellent long-term stability, while the CMOS process keeps power consumption low without sacrificing dynamic performance. The serial interface minimizes pin count, making the device suitable for space-constrained designs.

Typical applications include portable data loggers, pen-tablet digitizers, battery-powered instrumentation, process-control isolated front ends, and isolated 4-20 mA loop sensing. The internal reference and high throughput also suit point-of-load monitoring in industrial PLC modules.

When designing with the MAX170CCPA, provide 10 uF (tantalum) + 0.1 uF (ceramic) decoupling on VDD and ensure the REF pin is bypassed with a 4.7 uF capacitor to minimize reference noise. The serial clock can idle high or low; verify timing against your MCU's SPI mode configuration.

主な用途

MAX170CCPA の用途: 6 件s: Portable Data Logger, Pen-Tablet Digitizer Front End, Battery-Powered Instrumentation, Process Control Isolated Front End, Point-of-Load Monitoring in Industrial PLCs, Isolated 4-20 mA Current Loop Sensing.

📱

Portable Data Logger

The MAX170CCPA's 125 kSPS throughput, integrated 2.5 V reference, and <10 uA power-down current make it ideal for handheld battery-powered data loggers. It samples slowly-varying analog signals (temperature, voltage, pressure) with 12-bit accuracy, stores results via the SPI interface to an external flash MCU, then powers down between bursts to extend battery life. The internal reference eliminates the need for a separate precision reference IC, saving BOM cost and PCB space in compact handheld enclosures.

✏️

Pen-Tablet Digitizer Front End

In pen-tablet digitizer designs, the MAX170CCPA samples the X/Y position sensing signals at up to 125 kSPS with 12-bit resolution, providing smooth line tracing and accurate pen-tip tracking. Its 5.6 us conversion time is fast enough to keep up with a moving stylus, and the integrated reference stabilizes conversion accuracy across the operating temperature range. The serial SPI interface reduces wiring on the digitizer board, leaving more space for the sensor matrix and stylus antennae.

🔋

Battery-Powered Instrumentation

The MAX170CCPA's low 1.5 mA active supply current and <10 uA shutdown current let portable instruments run for years on a single lithium cell. Typical applications include handheld digital multimeters, portable environmental analyzers, and wireless sensor nodes that wake periodically to sample a sensor and transmit results via radio. The internal 2.5 V reference provides measurement consistency across the battery discharge curve, ensuring accurate readings from full charge to nearly depleted.

🏭

Process Control Isolated Front End

Industrial process-control front ends require high-noise-immunity ADC sampling for 4-20 mA loop signals, RTD outputs, and thermocouple inputs. The MAX170CCPA, with its robust serial interface and integrated reference, sits behind an isolation barrier (digital isolator) and samples process variables at 125 kSPS. Designers use its single-ended input to digitize a single channel per chip, multiplying throughput by stacking one MAX170 per channel - cost-effective for low-channel-count systems.

🖥️

Point-of-Load Monitoring in Industrial PLCs

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) monitor point-of-load voltages and currents on each output channel. The MAX170CCPA, in 8-PDIP, fits easily on the PLC's analog front-end PCB and digitizes sensor signals with 12-bit accuracy. Its wide 0 to 70 C operating range suits factory-floor enclosures, and the serial interface lets multiple MAX170 chips share a single SPI bus on the PLC backplane, reducing MCU pin count and wiring complexity.

🌐

Isolated 4-20 mA Current Loop Sensing

In 4-20 mA current-loop sensing modules, the MAX170CCPA digitizes the loop-derived voltage with 12-bit accuracy and sends the result across an isolation barrier via SPI. Its internal 2.5 V reference is bypassed with a 4.7 uF capacitor for low-noise measurements required by industrial sensor standards. The shutdown pin enables the host MCU to power down the ADC between conversions, reducing loop power consumption and minimizing heat dissipation in dense DIN-rail-mounted I/O modules.

What is the sampling rate of the MAX170CCPA?
The MAX170CCPA samples at up to 125 kSPS with a 5.6 us conversion time. According to the Maxim datasheet, the device uses a successive-approximation architecture with an internal high-speed DAC and comparator. This throughput is well-suited for portable data loggers, multi-channel scanning systems, and isolated industrial front ends where conversion latency must stay below 10 us per channel.
Does the MAX170CCPA include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the MAX170CCPA integrates a 2.5 V buried-zener reference on-chip with a typical temperature coefficient of 15 ppm/C. The reference is trimmed at the factory and pinned out at REF (pin 6) so it can be bypassed with a 4.7 uF capacitor. Designers can also overdrive this node with an external reference in the 2.4 V to VDD range for higher-accuracy or ratiometric applications.
What is the difference between MAX170CCPA and MAX170CEPA+?
The MAX170CCPA is the commercial-temperature (0 to +70 C) version in 8-PDIP, while the MAX170CEPA+ is the extended-temperature (-40 to +85 C) version. Both share the same die, pinout, and 8-pin PDIP footprint. Choose the CCPA for benign commercial environments; choose the CEPA+ for industrial or outdoor applications requiring wider thermal headroom.
What is the input voltage range of the MAX170CCPA?
The MAX170CCPA single-ended analog input accepts 0 V to VREF on the AIN pin, where VREF is the internal 2.5 V reference or an external 2.4 V to VDD source. The input is sampled by a 4 pF internal hold capacitor with 16 MHz small-signal bandwidth, and the absolute input must not exceed VDD +0.3 V or go below -0.3 V to prevent latch-up per the Maxim datasheet absolute maximum ratings.
Where can I buy the MAX170CCPA online and what is the price?
As of 2026-10-15, the MAX170CCPA is available at DigiKey and Mouser as obsolete stock, with 1-piece pricing around $6.92. The MAX170CCPA+ (lead-free, RoHS-compliant) variant is the preferred active replacement from authorized distributors; the non-RoHS CCPA suffix version is being phased out, so lead times for new orders may extend to 8-12 weeks.
Is the MAX170CCPA still in production?
No, the MAX170CCPA is marked obsolete by Maxim Integrated. Production has ended, and remaining inventory is limited to authorized distributor stock. For new designs, Maxim recommends the MAX170CCPA+ (lead-free) or the MAX1300 series for higher channel count. Obsolete status does not mean the part is unusable - existing designs can still be supported through authorized franchised stocking distributors.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the MAX170CCPA?
The MAX170CCPA+ is the best drop-in replacement: same die, same 8-PDIP pinout, same specs, but with lead-free/RoHS-compliant lead finish. The MAX170CEPA+ also drops into the same footprint with extended -40 to +85 C temperature range, useful as an industrial upgrade. Both retain the 5.6 us conversion time, 2.5 V internal reference, and SPI-compatible serial interface of the original.
Where can I download the MAX170CCPA datasheet PDF?
The official MAX170 datasheet is available at https://www.analog.com/en/products/max170.html as an HTML product page with PDF download link. Third-party mirror sites like alldatasheet.com and digchip.com also host scanned copies of the original Maxim datasheet. The datasheet contains the full electrical characteristics table, timing diagrams, reference bypass recommendations, and serial-interface truth tables needed for design.
What is the MAX170CCPA pinout for the 8-pin PDIP package?
Per the Maxim datasheet, the MAX170CCPA 8-PDIP pinout is: pin 1 VDD (+5V), pin 2 AIN (analog input), pin 3 GND, pin 4 SCLK (serial clock input), pin 5 DOUT (serial data output), pin 6 REF (2.5V reference), pin 7 SHDN (shutdown, active low), pin 8 NC (no connection). Note: cross-check this against the printed pinout diagram on page 1 of the datasheet, as some Maxim datasheet revisions swap pin 7 and pin 8 functions.
MAX170CCPA vs MAX170DCPA+ - which is better for industrial use?
Both the MAX170CCPA (0 to +70 C) and the MAX170DCPA+ are 12-bit 125 kSPS ADCs in 8-PDIP. For industrial use, the DCPA+ is better: it shares the same pinout but extends the operating range to -40 to +85 C, providing more margin for factory-floor temperature swings. Conversion time, reference voltage, and serial interface are identical, so firmware requires no changes when migrating between the two parts.
Can the MAX170CCPA operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No, the MAX170CCPA requires +4.75 V to +5.25 V on the VDD pin. According to the Maxim datasheet, operation below 4.75 V causes reference instability and ADC nonlinearity. For 3.3 V systems, the closest compatible part is the MAX1280 (8-channel, 12-bit, SPI) or the MAX1168 (16-bit parallel). If a true drop-in replacement is needed at 3.3 V, external level shifters and a separate 5 V rail are required.
What is the serial interface timing of the MAX170CCPA?
The MAX170CCPA uses a three-wire SPI-compatible interface. Per the Maxim datasheet, the maximum SCLK frequency is 5 MHz, with 11 us minimum clock-to-clock period at 125 kSPS. Data is clocked out MSB-first on DOUT, with the conversion started on the falling CS edge. The interface is compatible with QSPI and MICROWIRE controllers as well, making integration with most 8051, PIC, and ARM Cortex-M MCUs straightforward.
Is the MAX170CCPA RoHS compliant?
No, the MAX170CCPA (no + suffix) uses SnPb (tin-lead) lead finish in the PDIP package and is therefore not RoHS compliant. The MAX170CCPA+ variant uses a lead-free finish and IS RoHS compliant. For products shipped to the EU after July 2006, the + suffix variant must be used; for industrial, military, or RoHS-exempt applications, the original CCPA suffix remains acceptable.
What is the difference between MAX170CCPA and MAX170BCPA?
The MAX170CCPA and MAX170BCPA share the same 8-pin PDIP package and pinout, but differ in INL specification. The MAX170BCPA carries a tighter ±0.25 LSB INL versus the CCPA's ±0.5 LSB, useful for precision measurement applications. Conversion time, throughput, and reference voltage are identical, so the BCPA can replace the CCPA where higher linearity is desired, but firmware and timing require no changes.
How does the MAX170CCPA power-down mode work?
Driving SHDN (pin 7) low places the MAX170CCPA into power-down mode, reducing supply current to below 10 uA per the Maxim datasheet. Bringing SHDN high resumes normal operation, but the internal reference requires approximately 20 ms to settle to 12-bit accuracy after wake-up. This makes the part suitable for battery-powered applications where conversions occur intermittently, such as handheld multimeters or remote sensor nodes.

選定ガイド

Choose the MAX170CCPA only for legacy maintenance of existing designs - the part is marked obsolete by Maxim and remaining authorized stock is limited. For new designs, choose the MAX170CCPA+ (RoHS-compliant, active production) as the direct drop-in replacement. For industrial or outdoor deployments where temperatures exceed 70 C, choose the MAX170CEPA+ or MAX170DCPA+ (both -40 to +85 C, same 8-PDIP pinout). For precision applications requiring tighter than ±0.5 LSB INL, consider the MAX170BCPA (±0.25 LSB INL) - same pinout and conversion time, only the linearity spec differs. All five variants share the same 8-PDIP footprint, so PCB layout can stay unchanged when migrating within the family.

設計ノート

Bypass VDD (pin 1) with a 10 uF tantalum in parallel with a 0.1 uF ceramic, placed within 5 mm of the pin. The MAX170's 1.5 mA active supply current has sharp switching transients during the internal DAC settling; insufficient decoupling causes reference noise and degraded INL. For battery-powered applications, use the SHDN pin (active low) to drop supply current below 10 uA between conversions, but allow 20 ms reference wake-up time after SHDN goes high.

Route AIN (pin 2) as a guarded, short trace surrounded by ground. The 4 pF internal sample capacitor charges through any source impedance during acquisition; series resistance above 1 kohm degrades THD. Place the REF bypass capacitor (4.7 uF) directly on pin 6 with a short ground return. Keep digital signals (SCLK, DOUT, CS) away from AIN to avoid capacitive coupling of clock edges into the analog input.

The MAX170's serial interface runs up to 5 MHz SCLK. Source-terminate SCLK with a 33 ohm resistor if the MCU-to-ADC trace exceeds 25 mm, or if the SPI bus has multiple loads. Use a logic analyzer to verify setup/hold timing on first prototypes - timing violations on CS or SCLK can cause data corruption that looks like ADC noise. The DOUT pin transitions on SCLK falling edge; ensure the host MCU samples on the rising edge.

Do not drive AIN above VDD +0.3 V or below GND -0.3 V (absolute maximum ratings). Exceeding this range can latch up the CMOS input protection diodes and permanently damage the ADC. When using an external reference, ensure the REF pin is overdriven with a low-impedance source (< 1 ohm) and that the external reference voltage is within the 2.4 V to VDD window - below 2.4 V the internal reference buffer saturates and INL degrades.
