MAX176BCWE+T

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The MAX176BCWE+T is a high-speed, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture and features a single-ended input configuration. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 5V to 15V for both analog and digital sections. It supports serial communication via an SPI-compatible interface and achieves a sampling rate of 250ksps. The component is housed in a 16-lead SOIC package and is rated for operation within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.
