MAX178AEWG+T

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The MAX178AEWG+T is a calibrated 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It utilizes a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) architecture to achieve a sampling rate of 17 kS/s with a single-ended input configuration. The device integrates a track-and-hold circuit and an internal reference, supporting both external and internal reference types. Designed for operation within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, it features parallel data output and is housed in a 24-lead SOIC package.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX178A series of precision ADCs. It shares core specifications with variants such as the MAX178ACWG+ and MAX178AENG+, differing primarily in packaging (SOIC vs. PDIP) and commercial/industrial temperature ratings. The 'T' suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
