Rochester Electronics Data Acquisition - Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) MAX188CCAP

The MAX188 is a low-power, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for data acquisition applications. It features an 8-channel multiplexer with the capability for single-ended or differential inputs, and operates with a single +5V or dual ¬±5V power supply. The device consumes only 1.5mA in operating mode and as low as 2¬µA in power-down mode, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. The MAX188 supports a sampling rate of 133kHz and includes an internal track/hold circuit. It utilizes a 4-wire serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols, allowing for direct connection to various digital signal processors. The ADC can be configured for unipolar or bipolar input modes, enhancing its versatility in different applications. The device is available in multiple package options, including 20-pin PDIP, SO, and SSOP, and is rated for operation over a temperature range of 0¬8C to +70¬8C. The MAX188 is ideal for applications such as portable data logging, high-accuracy process control, and medical instruments, where low power consumption and high performance are critical.
