MAX180BCPL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAX180BCPL is a 12-bit Data Acquisition System (DAS) integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This device features 8 channels, a 100 kHz sampling rate, and parallel data interface, housed in a 40-pin DIP package for through-hole mounting. The MAX180BCPL is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAX180BCPL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resolution: 12 bits (exact match required)
• Number of Channels: 8 (exact match required)
• Sampling Rate: 100 kHz (exact match required)
• Data Interface: Parallel (exact match required)
• Package Type: 40-DIP (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to 70°C (exact match required)

The MAX180BCPL+ qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction lies in product status and regulatory compliance, not functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX180BCPL+ is the direct functional equivalent of the MAX180BCPL. Both devices share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 12-bit resolution, 8-channel configuration, 100 kHz sampling rate, parallel interface, and 40-DIP through-hole package.

The MAX180BCPL+ is preferred for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The original MAX180BCPL, classified as obsolete, presents supply chain constraints and lacks modern regulatory compliance certifications.

For applications requiring the exact legacy part number, the MAX180BCPL remains available in limited inventory. However, direct substitution with MAX180BCPL+ is electrically and mechanically transparent, requiring no circuit modifications or design changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX180BCPL+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX180BCPL in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAX180BCPL+ is electrically and mechanically identical to the MAX180BCPL. Both devices feature 12-bit resolution, 8 channels, 100 kHz sampling rate, parallel data interface, and identical 40-DIP packaging. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between MAX180BCPL and MAX180BCPL+?

A: The MAX180BCPL+ is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance, while the MAX180BCPL is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Functional performance and pin compatibility are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the 40-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) package with identical through-hole mounting specifications. Pinout and mechanical dimensions are equivalent.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The MAX180BCPL+ should be selected for new designs. It offers active product status, improved regulatory compliance, and assured long-term availability compared to the obsolete MAX180BCPL.

Q: Is the operating temperature range identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the MAX180BCPL and MAX180BCPL+ operate across the 0°C to 70°C temperature range with identical performance characteristics.
