MAX196AENI+

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX196AENI+ is a 12-bit, 100ksps data-acquisition system (DAS) in a 28-pin narrow plastic DIP package. It features six software-selectable 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 or supports external references. The device offers fault-protected inputs up to ±16.5V, a 5MHz bandwidth track/hold, and a 12-bit parallel interface compatible with standard microprocessors.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ENI corresponds to the 28-pin narrow plastic DIP package and the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing batch. Ensure the source document explicitly lists this exact part number variant to avoid confusion with other package types like SO or SSOP.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select the MAX196AENI+ when a 28-pin through-hole DIP package is required for the MAX196 family. This variant provides the extended -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range compared to commercial grade parts. Ensure the design supports a 12-bit parallel interface and single +5V power supply constraints.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX196/MAX198 multirange DAS family. The 'A' suffix denotes the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). The 'E' indicates the specific package type, while 'NI' specifies the narrow plastic DIP form factor. It shares core architecture with the MAX196ACNI+ and MAX196BCNI+ but differs in temperature rating and packaging.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same package include MAX196ACNI+ and MAX196BCNI+. Note that these variants operate in the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range, which is narrower than the MAX196AENI+'s industrial specification.
