MAX196BCNI

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX196BCNI is a multirange, 12-bit data-acquisition system (DAS) housed in a 28-pin narrow plastic DIP package. It operates from a single +5V supply and supports six analog input channels with software-selectable ranges including ±10V, ±5V, 0V to +10V, and 0V to +5V. The device features a 100ksps throughput rate, 1/2LSB linearity, and fault-protected inputs rated to ±16.5V. It utilizes a 12-bit parallel interface compatible with standard microprocessors and includes internal or external clock and reference options.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NI' corresponds to the 28-pin Narrow Plastic DIP package and the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Confirm that the component meets RoHS3 compliance requirements if applicable to the procurement specifications. Ensure the ordering information matches the manufacturer's current datasheet revision for accurate pinout and electrical characteristics.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-bit resolution and 100ksps sampling rate are required for multi-channel acquisition. The MAX196BCNI is suitable for applications needing flexible input ranges from a single +5V supply. Consider the 28-pin DIP package for through-hole mounting requirements. Verify that the 12-bit parallel interface timing is compatible with the target microprocessor system.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

The MAX196BCNI belongs to the MAX196/MAX198 family of multirange data-acquisition systems. While the MAX196 supports bipolar and unipolar ranges up to ±10V, the MAX198 variant offers different range configurations based on the reference voltage. Both devices share similar architectures but differ in input scaling factors and available channel counts in related models like the MAX199.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the MAX196 family such as the MAX196ACNI or MAX196BCAI, provided the package type and temperature range match the design requirements. Cross-model replacements like the MAX198 require verification of input range compatibility.
