MXL1062CN8

Overview

The MAX1062CN8 is a single-channel, 14-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It operates from a single +5V supply and supports sampling rates up to 200 kSPS. The device features an internal reference voltage of 4.096 V and accepts single-ended inputs. It communicates via a standard SPI interface and includes a shutdown mode with 10 uA current consumption. Key performance metrics include an SNR of 84 dB, DNL of +/- 1 LSB, and INL of +/- 3 LSB. Power dissipation is rated at 444 mW. It is housed in an MSOP-10 package and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated 14-bit SAR ADC architecture for high-resolution signal conversion
• Low power operation with dedicated shutdown mode reducing current to 10 uA
• Built-in 4.096 V reference eliminating need for external components
• SPI-compatible digital interface for straightforward microcontroller integration

Applications

• Portable instrumentation requiring low power consumption
• Industrial process control systems
• Battery-powered data acquisition devices
• Medical equipment signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against the manufacturer's official datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the CN8 variant matches the required package type and temperature rating for your specific design constraints. Check current availability status as distribution channels may list obsolete or limited stock items. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of resolution and speed is required for single-channel applications. Consider the internal reference capability if board space is limited. Evaluate the 200 kSPS rate against system bandwidth requirements. Compare power dissipation limits with thermal management capabilities of the target enclosure.
