MAX176BCPA+ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX176BCPA+ is a 12-bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, designed for single-ended input data acquisition applications. This SAR (Successive Approximation Register) architecture device operates with an internal reference and communicates via SPI interface. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable analog signal conversion.

Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX176BCPA+ is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• 12-bit resolution
• 250 kSPS sampling rate
• Single-ended input configuration
• SPI digital interface
• SAR architecture with internal reference
• Dual supply voltage range (5V and -12V ~ 15V for both analog and digital)
• 0°C ~ 70°C operating temperature range
• 8-DIP through-hole package format
• ROHS3 compliance status

The MAX176ACPA+ meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters and qualifies as a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical base product designation (MAX176) and are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring functional interchangeability within the defined parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MAX176BCPA+ and MAX176ACPA+ are active production parts with identical ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and procurement lead times, as they are functionally equivalent across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts meet the same regulatory requirements (REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification) and are suitable for equivalent system integration without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX176ACPA+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX176BCPA+ in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical 12-bit resolution, 250 kSPS sampling rate, SPI interface, internal reference configuration, and 8-DIP through-hole package. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there any differences in supply voltage requirements between these parts?

A: No. Both parts support identical dual supply voltage ranges: 5V and -12V ~ 15V for analog and digital supplies.

Q: Do both parts operate within the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both MAX176BCPA+ and MAX176ACPA+ are rated for 0°C ~ 70°C operating temperature range.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix difference (B vs. A)?

A: The suffix indicates manufacturing grade or revision level within the MAX176 product family. Both B and A grade variants meet identical electrical specifications and are interchangeable for applications within the specified parameter set.

Q: Are there any package or mounting differences?

A: No. Both parts use identical 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole packages with the same pinout and mounting requirements.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes.
