The MAX1270AENG+ is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component developed by Maxim Integrated. This high-performance, 12-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is designed for precision measurement applications. It offers various key features that make it suitable for a wide range of industrial and instrumentation applications.
The MAX1270AENG+ provides 12-bit resolution, offering a total of 4096 possible output values. This high resolution ensures accurate and precise data conversion. It also operates with a sampling rate of up to 500 kilosamples per second, enabling fast and real-time data acquisition.
One of the key features of the MAX1270AENG+ is its excellent linearity, achieving a maximum integral nonlinearity (INL) of only ± 2 LSB (Least Significant Bit). This ensures minimal distortion and accuracy loss during data conversion. Additionally, it offers a low offset error of ± 0.5 LSB, providing an accurate representation of input signals.
The ADC includes a configurable input range, allowing users to select between unipolar and bipolar input signals. It supports various input voltage ranges, such as ±2.5V, ±5V, and ±10V, making it compatible with a wide range of sensor and signal conditioning circuits.
To facilitate easy and reliable interfacing with microcontrollers or digital signal processors, the MAX1270AENG+ features a serial interface with a high-speed SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol
