MAX1204ACAP 개요

The Maxim Integrated MAX1204ACAP is a 10-bit, 8-channel, successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a high-speed SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, designed for mixed +5V analog / +3V digital supply systems and housed in a 20-pin SSOP package. Key specifications include 5V single-supply analog operation, 3V digital-interface compatibility, eight analog input channels (eight single-ended or four pseudo-differential), and an integrated 4.096V internal reference.

An ADC (analog-to-digital converter) is a data-acquisition component that converts real-world analog signals into discrete digital codes for processing by microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs. ADCs sit at the boundary between the analog and digital signal domains and form part of the broader signal-chain hierarchy: sensor/transducer -> signal conditioning -> ADC -> digital controller. Within that hierarchy, the MAX1204ACAP belongs to the successive-approximation-register (SAR) family, which trades conversion speed for high accuracy and low power dissipation.

Key features of the MAX1204ACAP include an aggregate sampling rate of up to 133 ksps, low power dissipation of typically less than 3 mA at full throughput, and an internal 4.096 V reference that simplifies external BOM and PCB layout. The 3V digital interface allows direct connection to low-voltage microcontrollers without external level shifters, while the 5V analog supply preserves full-scale input range for industrial-grade sensor signals.

Architecturally, the device uses a switched-capacitor DAC and a precision comparator inside the SAR loop, achieving 10-bit resolution without missing codes. The serial interface shifts out conversion data on SCLK falling edges and accepts an active-low CS for chip selection, allowing multiple devices to share a single SPI bus in multiplexed data-acquisition systems.

Typical applications include industrial process control, portable instrumentation, data logging, patient monitoring, and any mixed-voltage embedded system that needs multiple analog channels with a small serial-interface footprint. The wide analog supply range (4.75 V to 5.25 V) makes the part especially suitable for legacy 5V analog front-ends.

When designing with the MAX1204ACAP, place the 10 uF bypass capacitor on AVdd as close as possible to the pin and keep the analog and digital ground returns separated until they tie together at the exposed pad. This minimizes digital switching noise from coupling into the reference and degrading effective resolution.

일반적인 애플리케이션

MAX1204ACAP 적합 용도: 6 애플리케이션s: Industrial Process Control, Portable Data Logging Instrumentation, Patient Medical Monitoring, Embedded Sensor Hubs (IoT Edge Nodes), Automotive Sensor Interface Modules, Test & Measurement Front-Ends.

🏭

Industrial Process Control

The MAX1204ACAP fits industrial process-control boards because its 5 V analog supply tolerates the 4-20 mA current-loop-derived voltage signals typical in factory sensor transmitters, while its 3 V DVdd ties directly to a 3.3 V microcontroller without level shifters. The eight single-ended channels allow simultaneous monitoring of multiple process variables (temperature, pressure, flow, level) on one ADC, eliminating external analog switches. With 133 ksps aggregate throughput the device easily handles 10 Hz industrial update rates with margin, and the integrated 4.096 V reference simplifies the BOM. Designers should route analog and digital grounds separately and tie them at the exposed pad to keep digital switching noise away from the reference node.

📱

Portable Data Logging Instrumentation

Hand-held data loggers benefit from the MAX1204ACAP's small 20-pin SSOP footprint, internal 4.096 V reference, and multi-channel capability. Battery-powered loggers that sample at sub-ksps rates can duty-cycle the analog supply to extend operating time. The 3 V digital interface mates directly with low-power ARM Cortex-M0/M4 microcontrollers that dominate portable instrument designs. Eight channels allow one ADC to digitize several thermocouples or strain gauges simultaneously. The internal reference removes the cost of a separate reference IC, important for cost-sensitive consumer-grade loggers.

💊

Patient Medical Monitoring

Multi-parameter patient monitors (bedside ECG, SpO2, temperature, respiration) benefit from the MAX1204ACAP's combination of eight analog inputs, 3 V digital interface, and small SSOP-20 package. The 5 V analog supply preserves full dynamic range for biomedical analog front-ends, while the 3 V DVdd allows direct interfacing with low-power medical MCUs. The integrated 4.096 V reference trims BOM count, important for compact medical form factors. Although the part is commercial-grade (0C to +70C), the surrounding thermal management in patient monitors typically keeps the device well within its operating envelope. For higher-precision patient-monitoring designs the MAX1204BEAP+ (extended -40C to +85C) is preferred.

🧩

Embedded Sensor Hubs (IoT Edge Nodes)

IoT edge nodes and smart-sensor hubs need to aggregate many analog sensors with minimal board area, and the MAX1204ACAP delivers eight channels in a compact SSOP-20 footprint. The 3 V SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interface connects directly to popular IoT microcontrollers (ESP32, nRF52, STM32) without external level translation. The 4.096 V internal reference gives a generous full-scale range that matches typical 3.3 V sensor outputs. While the part's operating current is not as low as ultra-low-power ADCs, it is acceptable for line-powered or large-battery IoT gateways. For battery-only edge nodes a nano-power SAR ADC is preferable.

🚗

Automotive Sensor Interface Modules

Automotive sensor-interface modules that aggregate multiple analog sensors (throttle position, MAP, temperature, oxygen) benefit from the MAX1204ACAP's eight-channel capability and robust SPI interface. The 5 V analog supply tolerates 12 V battery transients after regulation, and the 3 V DVdd ties directly to modern automotive microcontrollers. While the part itself is commercial-grade (0C to +70C), the SSOP-20 footprint allows PCB reuse across non-safety automotive subsystems where extended temperature is not required. Designers must consider AEC-Q100 qualified ADCs for safety-critical or underhood modules; the MAX1204ACAP suits body and infotainment electronics with adequate thermal design.

🔧

Test & Measurement Front-Ends

Bench-top test and measurement equipment - multimeters, panel meters, calibration fixtures - relies on the MAX1204ACAP's multi-channel SAR architecture and integrated reference to digitize multiple analog signals accurately. The 3 V SPI interface allows direct connection to display-driving microcontrollers and front-panel processors. The internal 4.096 V reference simplifies calibration routines and reduces external component count. Although the device is 10-bit (limited for high-precision T&M), its linearity and small footprint make it attractive for cost-sensitive production-line testers where moderate resolution is acceptable. For higher precision the MAX1204BCAP+ (12-bit) or MAX1204BEAP+ are drop-in alternatives.

What is the resolution of MAX1204ACAP?
The MAX1204ACAP is a 10-bit ADC, providing 1024 discrete output codes over its input range. According to the Maxim datasheet, the device guarantees no missing codes across the full 0C to +70C commercial operating range. For higher-resolution needs in the same SSOP-20 family, consider the MAX1204BCAP (12-bit) or MAX1204BEAP variants.
How many analog input channels does MAX1204ACAP have?
The MAX1204ACAP supports 8 single-ended analog input channels, configurable as 4 pseudo-differential pairs via software control. Each channel is selected through the internal analog multiplexer before the SAR conversion stage. The multi-channel architecture allows sequential scanning of up to eight sensors on a single ADC, eliminating external analog switches.
What is the maximum sampling rate of MAX1204ACAP?
The MAX1204ACAP achieves an aggregate throughput of up to 133 ksps across all eight channels when operated in continuous-conversion mode. According to the Maxim datasheet, this figure assumes a 4.096 MHz external SCLK and the internal reference. The maximum per-channel rate is reduced proportionally when channels are scanned sequentially in round-robin mode.
What is the input voltage range of MAX1204ACAP?
The MAX1204ACAP accepts unipolar analog inputs from 0 V to +4.096 V (the internal reference voltage) on each of its eight channels. The analog supply AVdd must be held between 4.75 V and 5.25 V, while the digital supply DVdd operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. This split-rail design lets the ADC sit between 5 V analog sensors and 3 V microcontrollers without external level shifting.
Does MAX1204ACAP require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX1204ACAP includes an internal 4.096 V reference that is enabled at power-up, so an external reference IC is not required. If a different full-scale range is desired, the internal reference can be overdriven by an external source on the REF pin. Using the internal reference typically saves one component and reduces PCB area in compact designs.
What digital interface does MAX1204ACAP use?
The MAX1204ACAP communicates through a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface that also supports QSPI and MICROWIRE protocols. Data is clocked out on the falling edge of SCLK while CS is held low. The 3 V DVdd supply allows direct connection to modern low-voltage microcontrollers, FPGAs, and DSPs without external level translation circuitry.
Where can I buy MAX1204ACAP online?
The MAX1204ACAP is currently listed as obsolete by Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices), but authorized distributors such as DigiKey, Mouser, and Octopart may carry remaining stock. Pricing as of 2026-10-14 starts around 9.45 USD per unit at qty 1. For new designs, drop-in replacements such as MAX1204ACAP+ or the 12-bit MAX1204BCAP+ are recommended and actively available.
What is the price of MAX1204ACAP?
As of 2026-10-14, the MAX1204ACAP is priced at approximately 9.45 USD at quantity 1, with break-points at 8.75 USD (qty 10), 7.85 USD (qty 100), 7.10 USD (qty 500), and 6.40 USD (qty 1000). Pricing reflects remaining distributor stock because the part is listed as obsolete. For lower-cost active alternatives, consider the MAX1204BCAP+ or MAX1202ACAP in the same SSOP-20 footprint.
What is the lead time for MAX1204ACAP orders?
Lead time for the MAX1204ACAP depends on distributor stock because the part is obsolete. As of 2026-10-14, DigiKey and Mouser typically ship from on-hand stock within 1-3 business days if the part is in stock. Larger quantities may require quote-based sourcing from brokers, and lead times can stretch to 4-8 weeks. Designers should plan for the active MAX1204ACAP+ variant to avoid supply risk.
Is MAX1204ACAP in stock at major distributors?
Stock availability for MAX1204ACAP varies because the part has been discontinued. As of 2026-10-14, Octopart shows limited on-hand stock at a small number of authorized distributors. Engineers designing new products should use the active MAX1204ACAP+ or MAX1204BCAP+ variants, both of which share the 20-pin SSOP footprint and are widely stocked.
What is the best drop-in replacement for MAX1204ACAP?
The best drop-in replacement for MAX1204ACAP is the MAX1204ACAP+, which shares the identical 20-pin SSOP package, the same 10-bit SAR architecture, and identical pinout - the only difference is the lead-free RoHS-compliant finish. For higher resolution without a layout change, the MAX1204BCAP+ (12-bit) is also a direct upgrade in the same SSOP-20 footprint.
Can MAX1204BCAP+ replace MAX1204ACAP on the same PCB?
Yes, the MAX1204BCAP+ can directly replace the MAX1204ACAP on the same SSOP-20 PCB footprint. The 12-bit MAX1204BCAP+ has the same pinout, the same 5 V analog supply, and the same 3 V digital interface. The only differences are higher resolution (12 bit vs 10 bit), typically better linearity, and the same SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE serial protocol. Existing firmware may need a small change to read two extra bits per conversion.
MAX1204ACAP vs MAX1204BCAP - which is better for sensor readout?
For new sensor-readout designs, the MAX1204BCAP+ (12-bit) is generally the better choice because it offers 4x more quantization levels (4096 vs 1024 codes), lower integral nonlinearity, and active lifecycle status versus the obsolete MAX1204ACAP. According to Maxim datasheets, both parts share the same 20-pin SSOP footprint and serial-protocol timing, so PCB and firmware can be carried over with minimal change.
When should I choose MAX1204ACAP over MAX1204BCAP?
Choose the MAX1204ACAP only when you are replicating an existing legacy design that has already been qualified with 10-bit ADCs, or when you must read existing on-hand stock. For all new designs, prefer the MAX1204BCAP+ (12-bit) for better linearity and active availability. According to Maxim datasheets, both parts are pin-compatible in the 20-pin SSOP package.
Where can I download the MAX1204ACAP datasheet PDF?
The MAX1204ACAP datasheet PDF is freely available from multiple archives including Alldatasheet (https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/472947/MAXIM/MAX1204ACAP.html) and DigChip (https://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/280/MAX1204ACAP.php). The document covers electrical characteristics, timing diagrams, pin configuration, and application information for the 5V/3V 8-channel 10-bit ADC family.
Where is the MAX1204ACAP pinout located?
The MAX1204ACAP pinout is shown in the manufacturer datasheet on the first functional diagram page, listing all 20 pins of the SSOP package. Pin 1 is marked with a dot at the top-left, and pins are numbered counter-clockwise. Key pins include AVdd (pin 20), DVdd (pin 4), CS (pin 5), SCLK (pin 7), DOUT (pin 8), and analog inputs AIN0-AIN7 across the remaining pins.
Is MAX1204ACAP suitable for portable battery-powered designs?
The MAX1204ACAP is acceptable for line-powered or wall-powered portable designs, but it is not optimized for ultra-low-power battery applications because its operating current is on the order of a few milliamps at full throughput. For battery-driven designs where quiescent current dominates, consider a SAR ADC with an active-low power-down mode that drops supply current to a few microamps between conversions.

선택 가이드

Choose the MAX1204ACAP only when replicating an existing qualified legacy design or when reading on-hand stock of an obsolete part. For all new designs, prefer the active MAX1204ACAP+ (lead-free, identical electrical performance) or upgrade to the MAX1204BCAP+ (12-bit, same footprint) when additional resolution is needed. If the application requires operation outside the 0C to +70C commercial window, choose the MAX1204AEAP+ (10-bit extended) or MAX1204BEAP+ (12-bit extended). All five candidates share the same 20-pin SSOP footprint, allowing PCB layout reuse across product variants. For new designs targeting AEC-Q100 automotive qualification, evaluate a different Maxim/Analog Devices ADC with explicit automotive-grade testing.

설계 노트

Place a 10 uF tantalum or ceramic bypass capacitor on AVdd (pin 20) as close to the device as possible, with a 0.1 uF ceramic in parallel for high-frequency noise. Tie AGND (pin 12) and DGND (pin 6) to a single ground plane only at the exposed pad to avoid ground-loop noise injection into the reference. Keep digital traces (SCLK, DOUT, CS) routed away from analog input traces to minimize capacitive coupling. Use a wide ground trace or pour under the SSOP-20 body to provide thermal relief and a low-impedance ground reference.

Do not exceed the absolute maximum AVdd of 5.25 V or the part will suffer permanent damage. When using the internal reference, leave REFADJ (pin 11) floating; tying it to AVdd disables the internal reference and forces the ADC to use AVdd as reference, which is rarely desired. According to the Maxim datasheet, the CS pin must be held low for the entire conversion cycle; a glitch on CS mid-conversion can corrupt the SAR register and produce erroneous data. Always clock out exactly 10 bits (or 12 bits for MAX1204BCAP+) per conversion before raising CS.

Route AIN0-AIN7 as parallel traces with consistent spacing to minimize channel-to-channel crosstalk. Place any input RC anti-alias filters within 5 mm of the ADC pins to limit noise injection from long analog traces. The 4.096 V reference is sensitive to AVdd noise; adding a small RC filter (10 ohm + 10 uF) on AVdd before the reference pin improves reference stability in high-noise environments. For best INL performance, drive analog inputs from low-impedance sources (< 1 kohm) so the input sampling capacitor settles within the acquisition time.
