The MAX176BCWE is an integrated circuit (IC) component produced by Maxim Integrated, a leading provider of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products. The MAX176BCWE is a high-precision, low-power, wide-supply-range, dual-output voltage reference.
The key features of the MAX176BCWE are as follows:
1. Wide Supply Voltage Range: The IC operates on a wide supply voltage range of 2.7V to 36V, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
2. High-Precision Output: The MAX176BCWE offers exceptional output voltage accuracy with a typical temperature coefficient of only 10ppm/°C. This precision is essential in applications that require high accuracy, such as data acquisition systems and calibration equipment.
3. Dual-Output: The IC provides two independent voltage references, VOUT1 and VOUT2, allowing for greater flexibility in designing complex systems. Each reference can be programmed to any voltage within the operating range.
4. Low Quiescent Current: The MAX176BCWE features low quiescent current consumption of only 70µA (typical) and 250µA (maximum). This low power consumption is essential in battery-powered applications where power efficiency is crucial.
5. Low Dropout Voltage: The IC has a low dropout voltage of only 100mV at a 100mA load. This enables stable and efficient operation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage
