The MAX1246ACPE+ is a high-speed, low-power, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It offers a range of key features that make it suitable for various applications that require fast and accurate conversion of analog signals into digital data.
The MAX1246ACPE+ is built with a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture, which allows it to achieve conversion rates of up to 250 kilosamples per second (ksps). This high-speed capability makes it ideal for applications that require real-time signal processing and rapid data acquisition.
One of the prominent features of MAX1246ACPE+ is its excellent dynamic performance. It provides a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 73.5 decibels (dB) and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of -88 dB. This ensures accurate and high-resolution digital representation of analog signals, making it suitable for demanding audio, instrumentation, and measurement applications.
The ADC component operates over a wide power supply range of 2.7 to 5.25 volts, making it versatile and compatible with a variety of devices and power sources. Additionally, it consumes low power, with a typical supply current of 500 microamperes (μA) during active operation and only 10 μA in standby mode
