MAX172BCNG 概要

The Maxim Integrated MAX172BCNG (now part of Analog Devices) is a complete 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) that combines high-speed conversion, low power consumption, and an integrated buried-zener voltage reference in a single 24-pin PDIP (NG) through-hole package. It delivers 10us conversion time (100 kSPS throughput), single +5V supply operation, and parallel data output for direct microprocessor interfacing.

An SAR ADC is a type of analog-to-digital converter that uses a binary search algorithm across an internal capacitive DAC to digitize an analog input in N clock cycles for N-bit resolution. The MAX172 sits in the broader hierarchy of ADC architectures: it is a SAR ADC, which itself is a sub-type of medium-speed, medium-resolution data converter (12 bits, 100 kSPS) sitting between slower integrating ADCs (e.g., dual-slope) and faster flash or pipelined ADCs. SAR ADCs are favored when designers need deterministic latency, zero pipeline delay, and a small external component count - making the MAX172 a typical choice for embedded instrumentation front-ends.

Key features include a built-in buried-zener reference for low drift and low noise, ±5V input range (unipolar 0 to 5V or bipolar ±5V via external scaling), three-state outputs for direct bus connection, and an on-chip clock. The buried-zener reference topology provides better long-term stability and lower temperature drift than bandgap references common in CMOS ADCs of this era, which directly improves absolute-accuracy and gain-drift performance across -40C to +85C commercial operating temperatures.

Typical applications include process control, data acquisition boards, panel meters, weigh scales, digital signal processor front-ends, and any 12-bit measurement channel where simple parallel-readback from a microcontroller or FPGA is preferred over a serial interface.

When designing with this part, note that 12-bit absolute accuracy requires careful analog front-end design (input amplifier settling, charge-kickback filtering) and that the through-hole PDIP package is preferred for hand-soldered prototypes and industrial control modules rather than high-density SMT boards.

主な用途

MAX172BCNG の用途: 6 件s: Industrial Data Acquisition Board, Process Control Analog Front-End, Panel Meter and Weigh-Scale Design, Embedded DSP / Microcontroller Sensor Input, Rack-Mount Instrumentation Module, Legacy Replacement in Maintenance / Repair Operations.

🏭

Industrial Data Acquisition Board

The MAX172BCNG's 12-bit resolution at 100 kSPS and parallel data bus are well-matched to multi-channel industrial data-acquisition cards that read sensors at moderate speeds. The internal buried-zener reference eliminates the cost of an external REF02/ADR01 chip, while the 24-pin PDIP package is preferred for ruggedized through-hole industrial PCBs. Designers typically pair the ADC with an input op-amp front-end, then latch D0-D11 into an FPGA or 8051 family microcontroller using CS and RD control lines.

🏭

Process Control Analog Front-End

The MAX172BCNG converts a 0-5V or ±5V analog process variable (temperature, pressure, flow) into a 12-bit parallel word read directly by a PLC or DSP controller. With 10us conversion time and single +5V supply, it suits 4-20mA loop-powered or panel-mount instrumentation. The internal buried-zener reference provides low drift over the commercial 0-70C operating range, which is important for stable process measurements in factory-floor environments.

⚡

Panel Meter and Weigh-Scale Design

Weigh scales and digital panel meters require stable 12-bit accuracy and an internal reference to keep the BOM small. The MAX172BCNG's buried-zener reference, parallel interface, and easy through-hole DIP-24 package suit handheld bench instruments and through-hole production modules. With one ADC per scale channel, the device pairs with a load-cell op-amp (e.g., MAX145 series instrumentation front-end) and a display driver for a complete weigh-scale bill of materials.

🖥️

Embedded DSP / Microcontroller Sensor Input

Embedded DSP and 8/16-bit microcontroller boards use the MAX172BCNG to digitize analog sensors at 100 kSPS while the CPU performs the read in a single bus cycle. The MAX172's three-state output buffers prevent bus contention on shared data buses, and the BUSY/EOC pin allows the CPU to wait or interrupt on conversion-complete. Common pairings include an 8051 or HC11 reading motor-control sensor signals, with D0-D11 directly captured on a single MOV instruction.

🖥️

Rack-Mount Instrumentation Module

Rack-mount test and measurement modules use the MAX172BCNG because its parallel interface eliminates the latency of serial ADC protocols. The 24-pin DIP package is well suited to hand-soldered prototype instrumentation and through-hole backplanes that require industrial robustness. Combined with the buried-zener reference, the MAX172 delivers stable 12-bit absolute accuracy across the 0-70C commercial temperature range, which is important for laboratory and production-line test gear.

🔧

Legacy Replacement in Maintenance / Repair Operations

Many production-line test fixtures and military/aerospace subsystems designed in the 1990s still use the MAX172BCNG on their analog input boards. With the part in NRND status, MRO operations rely on remaining distributor stock plus drop-in replacements such as the MAX172BCNG+ (RoHS version) or the MAX172AENG (extended-temperature grade) to keep equipment running. The shared 24-pin PDIP footprint means a repair technician can swap the chip without modifying the surrounding analog front-end or microcontroller interface logic.

What is the resolution and sample rate of the MAX172BCNG?
The MAX172BCNG is a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with 10us conversion time, supporting up to 100 kSPS throughput. According to the Maxim/Analog Devices MAX172 datasheet, it provides one single-ended analog input channel, parallel 12-bit data output, and operates from a single +5V supply. This combination of 12-bit resolution and 100 kSPS speed makes it well-suited for industrial data acquisition, panel meters, and embedded control systems.
What package does the MAX172BCNG come in?
The MAX172BCNG is supplied in a 24-pin PDIP (Plastic DIP, NG suffix) through-hole package. The 'N' in 'CNG' denotes the PDIP package family and 'G' indicates gold or matte-tin lead finish, depending on the production date. Through-hole DIP packaging is convenient for breadboarding, hand-soldered prototypes, and industrial-control modules but is larger than equivalent SMD alternatives and not suitable for high-density SMT designs.
What is the difference between MAX172BCNG and MAX172BCNG+?
The MAX172BCNG+ is the RoHS-compliant (lead-free) version of the legacy MAX172BCNG. According to distributor listings from Mouser and DigiKey, the '+' suffix indicates that the part complies with current RoHS/lead-free directive requirements, while the bare MAX172BCNG without '+' is the older lead-finish variant. Both share the same 24-pin PDIP form factor, identical 12-bit / 10us / 100 kSPS electrical specifications, and the same internal buried-zener reference - they are functionally drop-in compatible.
Does MAX172BCNG require an external voltage reference?
No, the MAX172BCNG integrates an on-chip buried-zener voltage reference, which is one of its main advantages. According to the MAX172 datasheet, the internal reference provides low drift and low noise performance and limits external component count to decoupling capacitors and a few support resistors. Designers do not need to add an external ADR or REF02 reference, which simplifies the BOM and reduces board area for cost-sensitive industrial designs.
What is the input voltage range of the MAX172BCNG?
The MAX172BCNG accepts a 0V to 5V unipolar input range by default and supports bipolar ±5V operation when driven through an external input scaling network. According to the datasheet, the ADC uses a +5V single supply, and the analog input must remain within the supply rails. For ±10V or higher industrial signal ranges, an external op-amp front-end (e.g., a unity-gain difference amplifier or instrumentation amplifier) is required to attenuate and level-shift the signal to the ADC's input range.
Is MAX172BCNG suitable for precision measurement applications?
Yes, the MAX172BCNG's internal buried-zener reference and 12-bit SAR architecture deliver adequate precision for industrial-grade process control and weigh-scale applications. According to the datasheet, the buried-zener reference provides lower drift than typical CMOS bandgap references used in competing ADCs. However, for true 16-bit precision or higher accuracy in instrumentation, a newer SAR or sigma-delta ADC such as the MAX1300 series or AD7192 may be more appropriate.
What is the operating temperature range of MAX172BCNG?
The MAX172BCNG operates over the commercial 0C to +70C temperature range, indicated by the 'B' temperature grade in the part number. For extended industrial -40C to +85C operation, designers should look at the MAX172AEWG, MAX172AEAG, or MAX172BEWG variants, which carry an 'E' extended temperature grade. Industrial users must verify the operating-temperature suffix before deploying the part in non-controlled environments.
Where can I download the MAX172BCNG datasheet PDF?
The official MAX172 datasheet PDF is hosted by Analog Devices at https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX172.pdf. The document covers electrical characteristics, timing diagrams, pinout, application circuits, and ordering information for the entire MAX172 family (A/B grades, NG/ WG packages). Third-party mirrors such as alldatasheet.com also host archived copies, but the manufacturer URL is the authoritative source for the latest revision.
What is the pinout of the MAX172BCNG?
The MAX172BCNG pinout in the 24-pin PDIP package is fully documented in the MAX172 datasheet. Standard signals include the analog input (AIN), VDD (+5V), GND, parallel 12-bit data outputs (D0-D11), chip-select, read, write, conversion-start, and busy/end-of-conversion. According to the datasheet pin description table, the on-chip reference is buffered out for external use, and unused data-output lines can be left floating thanks to three-state output buffers that drive the bus only when CS and RD are asserted.
What are common drop-in replacements for the MAX172BCNG?
Same-brand drop-in alternatives in the 24-pin PDIP package include the MAX172AENG (lower-grade A temperature spec), the MAX173CNG (similar 12-bit SAR with different reference topology), and the MAX191ACNG (12-bit, higher accuracy). Cross-brand equivalents in the same through-hole 24-pin DIP package are harder to source, because the parallel-output 12-bit 100 kSPS segment is dominated by Maxim's MAX172/MAX173/MAX174 family and compatible Analog Devices legacy parts. All of the listed same-brand alternatives share the 24-pin PDIP footprint and parallel data interface.
Is the MAX172BCNG still in production?
The MAX172BCNG is currently in NRNR (Not Recommended for New Designs) status at Analog Devices, meaning the part is still available from existing stock but is being phased out in favor of newer SAR ADCs. According to the Analog Devices product page and Octopart distributor listings, the part remains purchasable from authorized distributors while inventory lasts. For new designs with longer production horizons, designers should evaluate the MAX1300 or AD7091 series instead.
How does the MAX172BCNG compare to the AD7192 or ADS1115?
The MAX172BCNG is a parallel-output 12-bit 100 kSPS SAR ADC, while the AD7192 (Analog Devices) and ADS1115 (Texas Instruments) are 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs with serial I2C or SPI interfaces. According to their respective datasheets, the MAX172BCNG is dramatically faster (100 kSPS vs tens of samples per second) and provides true 12-bit absolute accuracy on each conversion, while the sigma-delta parts trade speed for 24-bit resolution and integrated PGAs. The right choice depends on whether you need speed and parallel readout (MAX172) or ultra-high resolution and channel integration (AD7192 / ADS1115).
What are the best uses of MAX172BCNG in modern designs?
The MAX172BCNG remains well suited for legacy parallel-bus data-acquisition boards, hand-soldered industrial control modules, weigh-scale and panel-meter designs, and process-control analog front-ends where a microcontroller or FPGA reads 12 bits in a single read cycle. According to the datasheet, the 24-pin DIP package simplifies prototyping on through-hole PCBs. The internal buried-zener reference removes the need for an external ADR or REF02, which lowers BOM cost for cost-sensitive industrial designs.
What is the power consumption of MAX172BCNG?
According to the MAX172 datasheet, the MAX172BCNG typically consumes low power suitable for 5V industrial systems, but a specific numeric value is not present in the verified data supplied for this product. Designers needing a guaranteed power figure should consult the Electrical Characteristics table of the manufacturer datasheet or contact Analog Devices technical support. As an SAR ADC with 10us conversion time and CMOS logic, its active power is modest, and its standby current is low when CS is held high.
Can the MAX172BCNG interface directly to an 8051 or FPGA?
Yes, the MAX172BCNG's parallel 12-bit data bus, three-state outputs, and standard CS/RD/WR control signals are designed for direct connection to microprocessors and FPGAs. According to the datasheet, the three-state output buffers drive the bus only when CS and RD are both active, which prevents bus contention when the ADC is not selected. The 100 kSPS throughput is compatible with most 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers of the same era, and modern FPGAs can easily latch the parallel data on a single clock edge.

選定ガイド

Choose MAX172BCNG when you need a 12-bit, 100 kSPS SAR ADC with an integrated low-drift buried-zener reference and a parallel 12-bit data bus in a 24-pin PDIP package, and your application runs in commercial 0-70C environments. Choose MAX172BCNG+ (RoHS) for new compliant designs, MAX172AENG for slightly different linearity specs in the same package, or MAX173CNG if you need a similar 12-bit SAR with a slightly different feature mix - both are drop-in in the same 24-pin PDIP footprint. For higher channel counts, consider the MAX128BCNG/MAX156BCNG same-brand alternatives (still 24-pin PDIP) but verify channel count and pinout first. For new high-volume or SMT designs, consider migrating to a modern SOIC/TDFN SAR ADC from the MAX1300 or MAX1113x family, since the MAX172BCNG is in NRND status.

設計ノート

Decouple VDD (pin 7) with a 10uF electrolytic bulk capacitor and a 100nF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the supply pin. According to the MAX172 datasheet, clean analog supply decoupling is required to keep the internal buried-zener reference free from digital switching noise. Avoid running high-current digital return currents under the AGND/DGND pins - use separate analog and digital ground returns that meet only at the ADC's GND pins. Estimated: assuming VDD = 5V and typical quiescent current per the datasheet, the device draws modest active power; for absolute quiescent/active numbers consult the datasheet Electrical Characteristics table.

For through-hole DIP-24 designs, route the 12 parallel data lines (D0-D11) as a clean bus with matched lengths, and keep the analog input trace short and guarded by ground copper on both sides. According to the MAX172 datasheet application section, the AIN trace should be isolated from digital bus lines to avoid capacitive coupling. Place the analog input RC filter (typically 1kohm + 10nF) within 5 mm of pin 4 to provide charge-kickback absorption between conversions.

Do not leave unused digital output pins floating if they share a bus - tie them to VDD through 100 kohm resistors or enable the HBEN/three-state control per the datasheet timing diagram. Avoid driving the analog input above VDD or below AGND; if bipolar ±10V signals are needed, use an external op-amp front-end to scale into the 0-5V input range. According to the datasheet, exceeding the input range permanently damages the ADC. CS must be held high (de-selected) when not reading to keep BUSY/CNT in the correct state.
