MAX196BCAI+

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX196BCAI+ is a multirange, single +5V, 12-bit data-acquisition system (DAS) with a 12-bit parallel bus interface. It features six independently software-programmable analog input channels and fault-protected inputs rated to ±16.5V. The device operates on a single +5V supply while accepting input signals up to ±10V. Key electrical parameters include a 100ksps throughput rate, 6µs conversion time, and 1/2LSB integral nonlinearity. It supports software-selectable input ranges of ±10V, ±5V, 0V to +10V, and 0V to +5V. The component is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package and functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Six analog input channels with software-selectable input ranges: ±10V, ±5V, 0V to +10V, and 0V to +5V.
• 12-bit resolution with 1/2LSB linearity and 100ksps sampling rate.
• Fault-protected input multiplexer tolerant to ±16.5V overvoltage conditions.
• Single +5V supply operation with internal or external reference options.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Applications

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

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix '+T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging rather than tube packaging. Confirm the 'I' suffix corresponds to the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Ensure the manufacturer designation matches Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated specifications for the MAX196 series.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-supply +5V DAS is required for interfacing sensors with bipolar or unipolar outputs. The MAX196 is suitable for applications needing software-programmable input ranges to accommodate various sensor voltages without external scaling circuitry. Consider the 28-pin SSOP package constraints for board space limitations.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

The MAX196 belongs to a family of multirange data acquisition systems that includes the MAX197, MAX198, and MAX199. While the MAX196 offers a 12-bit parallel interface, other variants in the series provide different interface types such as 8+4 bus configurations. The MAX198 shares similar architecture but differs in specific input range programming capabilities relative to its reference voltage.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. The MAX199 and MAX197 share the same family but utilize different bus interfaces (8+4 bus). Verify pinout compatibility if considering alternative packages like DIP or Wide SO from the same series.
