MAX196ACWI

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX196ACWI+ is a 12-bit, 100ksps data-acquisition system (DAS) in a 28-pin Wide SO package. It features six software-programmable analog input channels with ranges of ±10V, ±5V, 0V to +10V, and 0V to +5V. Operating on a single +5V supply, it includes an internal 4.096V reference, fault-protected inputs rated to ±16.5V, and a 12-bit parallel interface. The device supports internal or external clocking and offers two power-down modes for low-current shutdown.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Six independent analog input channels with software-selectable unipolar/bipolar ranges
• 12-bit resolution with ±0.5 LSB INL and ±1 LSB DNL accuracy
• Fault-protected input multiplexer tolerant to ±16.5V overvoltage
• Single +5V supply operation with internal 4.096V reference

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Applications

• Industrial-control systems
• Data-acquisition systems
• Automatic testing systems

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the component matches the specific Wide SOIC-28 package variant. Confirm the temperature range corresponds to the commercial grade (0°C to +70°C). Ensure the ordering suffix aligns with the required pin configuration and RoHS compliance status as defined by the manufacturer's current part numbering system.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this model when a 12-bit resolution and 100ksps throughput are required for multi-channel applications. Choose the ACWI+ variant for commercial temperature ranges and wide SOIC packaging. Consider the MAX197 if an 8+4 bus interface or eight channels are needed instead of the six channels provided here.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX196/MAX198 family of multirange DAS devices. The MAX196 variant specifically supports bipolar and unipolar input ranges scaled by a factor relative to the reference voltage. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX197 but differs in channel count and bus interface width.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include other members of the MAX196 family such as the MAX196BCAI+ (SSOP package) or MAX196AEAI+ (extended temperature SSOP). Verify package dimensions and pinout compatibility before substitution.
