The MAX1241BEPA is a highly accurate, low-power, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) integrated circuit (IC) component. It is part of Maxim Integrated's MAX1241 family of ADCs, offering a range of features and excellent performance for various applications.
One of the key features of the MAX1241BEPA is its impressive precision. It achieves a resolution of 12 bits, meaning it can convert analog signals into 4096 discrete digital levels. This high level of accuracy enables the IC to provide precise measurements in a wide variety of applications.
Furthermore, the MAX1241BEPA operates using a single-supply voltage, typically ranging from 2.7V to 5.25V. This makes it suitable for low-power applications and ensures compatibility with common power supplies.
The ADC is designed to convert analog signals from various sources, including sensors, industrial equipment, and medical instruments. It has a high sampling rate of up to 200 kilosamples per second (ksps), allowing for quick and responsive data acquisition. The IC also features a flexible input voltage range, which can be adjusted from zero to Vref, making it versatile for a wide range of measurement scenarios.
To enhance measurement accuracy, the MAX1241BEPA incorporates a built-in programmable gain amplifier (PGA). This enables the IC to amplify low-level analog signals before converting them to digital values, improving signal conditioning capabilities
