MAX161AEWI+

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX161AEWI+ is a specialized data acquisition system manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It integrates an 8-bit analog-to-digital converter with eight single-ended input channels and an internal multiplexer, housed in a 28-pin SOIC-Wide package. The device operates on a single 5V supply within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical specifications include a sampling rate of 50 kS/s, a maximum power dissipation of 762 mW, and an integral nonlinearity (INL) of +/- 0.5 LSB. The component utilizes a parallel interface for digital communication.
