MAX196BENI+

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX196BENI+ is a multirange, 12-bit data-acquisition system (DAS) from Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. It operates on a single +5V supply and converts analog signals up to ±10V using successive approximation architecture. The device features six independently programmable analog input channels with software-selectable ranges: ±10V, ±5V, 0V to +10V, and 0V to +5V. It provides a 12-bit parallel interface, 100ksps throughput rate, and fault-protected inputs rated to ±16.5V. The unit includes an internal 4.096V reference or supports external references, with two power-down modes for low-current shutdown.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type associated with the 'NI' suffix in the ordering information, as datasheets list DIP, SO, SSOP, and Ceramic SB packages for the MAX196 family. Confirm RoHS compliance status (+ suffix) and temperature range specifications against current manufacturer documentation before procurement.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a single-supply 12-bit ADC with multiple input ranges. Ensure the microprocessor interface timing matches the 12-bit parallel bus requirements. Consider the 100ksps sampling rate and 5MHz bandwidth for signal integrity. Verify that the required input voltage ranges align with the MAX196's specific bipolar and unipolar configurations.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Part Context

The MAX196/MAX198 series are multirange, 12-bit data-acquisition systems designed for industrial automation. They integrate a track/hold amplifier, programmable gain amplifier, and 12-bit ADC into a single chip. The MAX196 variant specifically supports input ranges of ±10V, ±5V, 0V to +10V, and 0V to +5V, making it suitable for interfacing with various sensor types without external scaling circuitry.

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include MAX196ACNI+, MAX196BCNI+, MAX196ACWI+, and MAX196BCWI+. These variants share identical electrical characteristics but differ in package type (Narrow Plastic DIP vs. Wide SO) and temperature grade. Verify pin compatibility and thermal derating requirements when substituting.
