The MAX1118EKA+T is an integrated circuit (IC) component developed by Maxim Integrated. It is a 12-bit, low-power, and serial interface analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for precision data acquisition applications. The IC features a versatile and flexible architecture that makes it suitable for various measurement and signal processing systems.
One of the key features of the MAX1118EKA+T is its high-resolution ADC, offering a 12-bit resolution with a maximum sampling rate of 200 ksps (thousand samples per second). This enables accurate and detailed measurement of analog signals, allowing users to capture subtle variations in the input data. The IC also provides excellent linearity, achieving a low integral non-linearity (INL) of ±0.5 LSB (least significant bit) maximum.
The MAX1118EKA+T operates on a low supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 3.6V, making it compatible with a wide range of power sources. It incorporates an internal reference voltage source, eliminating the need for external voltage references. This internal reference voltage can be adjusted to different values to suit specific applications, offering added flexibility.
Moreover, the IC features a 4-wire SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) serial interface, enabling easy communication with microcontrollers or other digital devices. It utilizes this interface to transmit the converted analog data while maintaining high-speed and reliable data transfer
