MAX196AENI

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The MAX196AENI is a multirange, single-supply, 12-bit data-acquisition system (DAS) housed in a 28-pin narrow plastic DIP package. It operates on a +5V supply and supports analog input ranges of ±10V, ±5V, 0V to +10V, and 0V to +5V. The device features six independently software-programmable analog input channels with fault protection up to ±16.5V. Key electrical specifications include a 100ksps throughput rate, 6µs conversion time, and 5MHz track/hold bandwidth. Integral nonlinearity is specified at ±0.5 LSB, and differential nonlinearity at ±1 LSB. The internal reference provides 4.096V, and the unit functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Software-selectable input ranges for flexible sensor interfacing
• Integrated 12-bit parallel interface compatible with standard microprocessors
• Dual power-down modes for optimized energy consumption
• Overvoltage-protected input multiplexer

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

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

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ENI' against current manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Ensure the narrow plastic DIP form factor matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating aligns with environmental requirements before finalizing component selection.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is required for high-voltage signal acquisition. The integrated track/hold and programmable gain allow direct connection to sensors without external conditioning. Consider the 12-bit resolution and 100ksps speed for moderate-frequency applications. Verify that the parallel bus interface timing meets the host microcontroller's constraints.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX196/MAX198 family of multirange DAS devices. The MAX196 variant specifically supports wider voltage ranges compared to the MAX198. The 'A' suffix typically denotes industrial temperature grading, while 'ENI' specifies the narrow plastic DIP package and lead-free construction. This series serves as a consolidated solution for multi-channel data acquisition tasks.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and specification set should be verified via official cross-reference lists. Note that the MAX197 offers 8 channels but differs in pin configuration. Ensure any substitute maintains the 12-bit resolution and 100ksps throughput rate.
