The MAX1240AESA is an IC component manufactured by Maxim Integrated, which is a low-power, 12-bit, successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It offers high performance and accuracy for a wide range of applications. Here are some key features of the MAX1240AESA:
1. Resolution and Accuracy: The ADC offers a 12-bit resolution, which means it can convert analog signals into a digital value ranging from 0 to 4095. It provides excellent accuracy with a maximum integral nonlinear error of ±2 LSB and differential nonlinear error of ±1 LSB, ensuring reliable and precise measurements.
2. Sampling Rate: The MAX1240AESA has a maximum sampling rate of 200 kilosamples per second (ksps). It provides fast and efficient conversion of analog signals into digital form, making it suitable for applications requiring real-time data acquisition.
3. Low Power Consumption: With a low power supply voltage requirement (2.7V to 5.25V) and low power consumption (4.5mA typ at 200ksps), the MAX1240AESA is designed to be energy-efficient. It is ideal for battery-powered or low-power applications, where power consumption must be minimized.
4. Input Voltage Range: The ADC can accept analog input voltages in the range of 0V to Vref. Vref is the reference voltage, and it can be externally set between 1V and Vcc
