The MAX1438BETK+T is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a high-speed, low-power, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a built-in track-and-hold (T/H) circuit.
One of the key features of the MAX1438BETK+T is its fast conversion speed. It is capable of performing conversions at a rate of up to 81 megasamples per second (MSPS), making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require high acquisition rates.
The IC component operates from a single 3.3V power supply and offers excellent power efficiency, consuming only 111mW of power during normal operation. This low power consumption makes it an ideal choice for battery-powered devices or applications where power efficiency is vital.
Furthermore, the MAX1438BETK+T offers a flexible analog input range. It supports both single-ended and differential inputs, allowing for versatile signal conditioning options. The input voltage range can be configured to either ±0.5V or ±1V, depending on the application requirements.
To ensure accurate conversion, the MAX1438BETK+T incorporates a high-performance T/H circuit. The integrated T/H circuitry features excellent linearity and low distortion, enabling precise and faithful analog-to-digital conversion
