MAX127AEAI

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX127AEAI is a monolithic, multirange data acquisition system (DAS) featuring a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and an internal reference. Manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, it operates on a single +5V supply and supports sampling rates up to 8 kS/s. The device integrates a track-and-hold amplifier and utilizes a serial interface compatible with standard microprocessor protocols. It is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package and is designed for applications requiring low power consumption and high accuracy in industrial control systems.
