MAX180BEPL+

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX180BEPL+ is a precision analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It features a 12-bit resolution and an 8-channel multiplexer with a maximum sampling rate of 100 kSPS. The device utilizes a successive approximation architecture and operates within a dual supply configuration, typically requiring +5V and -12V rails. It supports bipolar input ranges from -2.5V to +2.5V. Packaged in a 40-pin plastic DIP, it offers low power consumption suitable for data acquisition systems.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• 12-bit resolution with 8 multiplexed analog input channels
• Maximum conversion speed of 100 kSPS using successive approximation architecture
• Bipolar input range capability (-2.5V to +2.5V)
• Low-power operation designed for battery-powered applications

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Applications

• Portable instrumentation
• Process control systems
• Data acquisition modules

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX180 family of low-power, 8-channel, serial 12-bit ADCs. The 'BEPL+' suffix indicates a specific temperature grade (Industrial), lead-free compliant packaging (RoHS), and a 40-pin PDIP package. It serves as a high-precision alternative to faster but higher-power counterparts like the MAX186.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Verify pin compatibility when substituting with other MAX180 variants such as MAX180CCPL or MAX180CEPL. Ensure the replacement part matches the required operating temperature range and voltage supply specifications.
