MAX1136EUA+T

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The MAX1136EUA+T is a low-power, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring four analog input channels. It operates from a single supply of 4.5V to 5.5V and includes an internal track/hold circuit, voltage reference, clock, and an I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface. The device consumes 670µA at the maximum sampling rate of 94.4ksps and utilizes AutoShutdown technology to reduce current to less than 1µA between conversions. It is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package and is guaranteed to operate over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
