The MAX132 is a CMOS, 18-bit plus sign, serial-output,
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Multi-slope integration provides high-resolution conversions in less time
than standard integrating ADCs, allowing operation up
to 100 conversions per second. Low conversion noise
provides guaranteed operation with ±512mV full-scale
input range (2µV/LSB). A simple 4-wire serial interface
connects easily to all common microprocessors, and
twos-complement output coding simplifies bipolar measurements. Typical supply current is only 60µA and is
reduced to 1µA in sleep mode. Four serially programmed digital outputs can be used to control an
external multiplexer or programmable-gain amplifier.
The MAX132 comes in 24-pin narrow DIP and wide SO
packages, and is available in commercial and extended temperature grades.
High resolution, compact size, and low power make this
device ideal for data loggers, weigh scales, data-acquisition systems, and panel meters.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation 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.

Note 4: Difference in reading for equal positive and negative inputs near full scale.
CHIP SELECT Input has 3 functions: 1) When low, selects IC for communication; 2) on rising edge, loads
CS1
input shift register data into one of the command registers; 3) on falling edge, loads data from one of the
output registers into the output shift register. When CS is high, DOUT is high impedance.
Serial Data In, D7 first bit in. Data is clocked into the register on the rising edge of SCLK.DIN2
Serial Data Out, D7 first bit out. Data is clocked out at the falling edge of SCLK. High impedance when CSis high.DOUT3
SCLK4
Serial Clock Input. On SCLK’s rising edge, data is shifted into the internal shift register through DIN. On
SCLK’s falling edge, data is clocked out of DOUT.
