MAX174/MX574A/MX674A
Industry-Standard, Complete 12-Bit ADCs
General Description
The MAX174/MX574A/MX674A are complete 12-bit
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that combine high
speed, low-power consumption, and on-chip clock and
voltage reference. The maximum conversion times are
8µs (MAX174), 15µs (MX674A), and 25µs (MX574A).
Maxim’s BiCMOS construction reduces power dissipa-
tion 3 times (150mW) over comparable devices. The
internal buried zener reference provides low-drift and
low-noise performance. External component require-
ments are limited to only decoupling capacitors and fixed
resistors. The versatile analog input structure allows for
0 to +10V or 0 to +20V unipolar or ±5V or ±10V bipolar
input ranges with pin strapping.
The MAX174/MX574A/MX674A use standard micropro-
cessor interface architectures and can be interfaced to
8-, 12-, and 16-bit wide buses. Three-state data outputs
are controlled by
CS,
CE, and R/C logic inputs.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
