MAX6362PUT46

Overview

The MAX6362PUT46+ is a low-power, 10-bit, 4-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring a digitally programmable window comparator with an interrupt output for automatic system-monitoring applications. It operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply and integrates an internal voltage reference, clock, and a high-speed I2C-compatible serial interface. The device supports configurable single-ended or fully differential inputs and utilizes on-chip RAM for scan modes. It includes AutoShutdown technology to reduce supply current significantly when idle.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a digitally programmable window comparator that automatically asserts an interrupt when analog inputs exceed programmed thresholds without host interaction.
• Features an optimized I2C-compatible serial interface allowing maximum conversion rates while reading back results efficiently.
• Includes AutoShutdown technology that powers down the device between conversions to minimize power consumption during idle periods.

Applications

• Automatic system monitoring in industrial environments
• Battery-powered instruments requiring low quiescent current
• Process control systems utilizing SMBus alert responses

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PUT46' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm the exact threshold voltage and package configuration. Ensure compatibility with 4.5V to 5.5V supply rails and I2C bus levels before integration. Check for RoHS compliance status and lead times as availability may vary by region.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring multi-channel monitoring with minimal host CPU intervention. It is suitable where low power consumption is critical due to AutoShutdown features. Ensure the input signal range fits within the specified limits and that the I2C interface aligns with the system architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX1361/MAX1362 family of low-power, 10-bit, 4-channel ADCs. These devices are designed for system-monitoring applications, offering programmable trip windows and SMBus alert responses. The family integrates necessary references and clocks, simplifying design complexity compared to discrete solutions.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX1361 is a compatible alternative operating from a lower 2.7V to 3.6V supply. Verify supply voltage requirements and pin compatibility before substitution. Both parts share similar functionality but differ in operating voltage ranges.
