MAX196BEAI+T

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX196BEAI+T is a multirange, single +5V, 12-bit data-acquisition system (DAS) featuring six analog input channels. It employs successive approximation architecture with a 5MHz bandwidth track/hold and supports throughput rates up to 100ksps. The device accepts software-selectable input ranges including ±10V, ±5V, 0V to +10V, and 0V to +5V for the MAX196 variant. It integrates an internal 4.096V reference or allows external reference configuration via the REFADJ pin. The component utilizes a 12-bit parallel three-state digital interface compatible with standard microprocessors and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C in a 28-pin SSOP package.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Six independently programmable analog input channels with fault protection to ±16.5V
• Software-selectable input ranges: ±10V, ±5V, 0V to +10V, and 0V to +5V
• Internal 4.096V bandgap reference with adjustable output via REFADJ pin
• Two power-down modes (STBYPD and FULLPD) for low-current shutdown

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Applications

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

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'T' corresponds to tape-and-reel packaging as indicated by distributor listings. Confirm the specific grade 'E' aligns with the required operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Ensure the '+ ' suffix denotes lead-free and RoHS compliance status before procurement.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply operation is required for multichannel acquisition. The MAX196 is appropriate for interfacing sensors with ±12V, ±15V, or 4mA to 20mA outputs due to its wide input range flexibility. Consider the internal clock mode if microprocessor clock generation resources are limited.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX196/MAX198 family of multirange DAS devices. The MAX196 supports unipolar/bipolar ranges scaled from the reference voltage, whereas the MAX198 ranges correspond directly to the reference voltage. Both share identical pinouts and core ADC functionality but differ in input scaling factors.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include other parts within the MAX196 series such as MAX196ACAI or MAX196BCAI, provided the temperature grade and packaging match the design requirements.
