The MAX1101CWG is an integrated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) IC component designed for precision data acquisition systems. It is manufactured by Maxim Integrated, a renowned semiconductor company. The MAX1101CWG offers versatile functionality coupled with high-performance features, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The ADC chip employs a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture, enabling high resolution with excellent accuracy. It has a resolution of 12 bits, meaning it can convert the analog input into a digital output with a resolution of up to 4096 discrete levels. This allows for precise measurement and improved signal processing.
One of the key features of the MAX1101CWG is its wide input voltage range. It operates from a single power supply of 2.7V to 3.6V, making it compatible with various power sources and reducing the need for additional voltage regulators. The internal reference voltage of 2.048V ensures accurate conversions across the input voltage range.
Furthermore, the MAX1101CWG offers a high sampling rate of up to 150 kilosamples per second (ksps). This fast conversion rate enables real-time data acquisition and minimizes signal lag. The chip also incorporates a built-in track-and-hold circuit that maintains a stable voltage during the conversion process, thus improving the overall accuracy.
To facilitate ease of use, the MAX1101CWG includes a flexible input multiplexer with eight analog input channels
