The MAX1203ACAP is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MAX1203 family of low-power, 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is designed for precision measurement applications that require high accuracy and low power consumption.
The key features of the MAX1203ACAP include:
1. High-resolution ADC: The IC provides a 12-bit resolution, allowing for precise measurement of analog signals with a wide dynamic range.
2. Low power consumption: The MAX1203ACAP is optimized for low power operation, consuming just 300µA of supply current during active mode. This makes it suitable for battery-powered applications or energy-efficient systems.
3. High sampling rate: The IC supports a maximum sampling rate of 250 kilosamples per second (ksps), allowing for fast and accurate data conversion.
4. Flexible input range: The MAX1203ACAP offers a programmable input range, enabling the conversion of both unipolar and bipolar analog signals. The input range can be set between 0V and VREF, where VREF is the reference voltage.
5. Internal voltage reference: It incorporates an internal 2.048V voltage reference, which eliminates the need for an external reference source. This simplifies the design and reduces the overall component count
