MAX260BCWG

Overview

The MAX260BCWG is a microprocessor-programmable universal active filter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 12.6 V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The device is housed in a 24-pin SO-Wide package with surface-mount installation. It features two channels and includes internal clock generation capabilities, eliminating the need for external timing components.

Feature Summary

• Microprocessor programmable architecture allows flexible configuration via serial interface
• Integrated clock generator removes requirement for external timing circuits
• Universal topology supports multiple filter functions including low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch

Applications

• Telecommunications signal processing
• Instrumentation front-end filtering
• Data acquisition systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for obsolescence notices prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions meet manufacturer specifications to maintain reliability.

Selection Notes

Evaluate pin compatibility when replacing legacy versions. Verify that the SO-Wide-24 footprint matches the target PCB layout. Confirm that the extended industrial temperature range meets environmental requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX260 family of universal active filters. It shares functional similarities with other members like the MAX260AEWG but differs in package type and specific electrical characteristics defined by the suffix.

Replacement Considerations

MAX260AEWG+ offers similar functionality in a wide SOIC-24 package.
