MAX161ACWI+T

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX161ACWI+T is a CMOS-based, 8-channel data acquisition system manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It features an 8-bit resolution with a sampling rate of 50 kS/s per channel. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and utilizes a parallel interface for data transfer. Housed in a 28-pin SOIC package, it supports single-ended inputs and includes internal multiplexing. The component is designed for applications requiring multi-channel signal conditioning and conversion within a compact surface-mount footprint.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging versus tube packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Check for obsolescence notices as this part may be discontinued or limited in availability. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability for industrial-grade components.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring multiple single-ended inputs with moderate speed and resolution. Compare against higher-resolution alternatives if precision is critical. Verify that the parallel interface timing requirements match the host microcontroller capabilities. Consider thermal dissipation limits within the SOIC-28 package for high-density PCB layouts.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX161C family of data acquisition systems. It serves as a cost-effective solution for multi-channel monitoring tasks. The WI suffix denotes the wide operating temperature range and SOIC package type. It is distinct from the MAX161AC-D variant which may have different packaging or testing specifications.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the MAX161 series. Evaluate newer ADCs with integrated interfaces if parallel bus resources are constrained. Verify electrical parameter compatibility before substituting with generic 8-bit SAR ADCs.
