Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAX167CENG is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Resolution: 12 bits (matching data precision requirements)
  • Sampling Rate: 100 kSPS (matching conversion speed)
  • Input Configuration: 1 single-ended input (matching signal acquisition topology)
  • Data Interface: Parallel (matching system integration requirements)
  • Architecture: SAR (matching conversion methodology)
  • Reference Type: Internal (matching reference implementation)
  • Supply Voltages: 5V and -12V to 15V for both analog and digital domains (matching power distribution)
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C (matching environmental specifications)
  • Package: 24-DIP through-hole (matching PCB layout and assembly requirements)

The MAX163CENG+ meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing a direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete MAX167CENG.
