The MAX1246ACPE is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) applications. It is manufactured by Maxim Integrated, a renowned company in the field of mixed-signal integrated circuits. The MAX1246ACPE offers a variety of key features that make it suitable for various precision measurement systems and sensor interface applications.
One of the most noteworthy features of the MAX1246ACPE is its high-resolution ADC capability. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture, which enables it to achieve a resolution of up to 12 bits. This high resolution ensures accurate and reliable conversion of analog signals into digital data.
The MAX1246ACPE operates over a wide analog input voltage range, starting from 0V and extending up to the positive supply voltage. This range allows for the handling of a diverse set of analog input signals without the need for additional signal conditioning circuits.
Another important feature of the MAX1246ACPE is its low power consumption. With a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.25V and a low current consumption of only 360µA (typical), this IC component is efficient and suitable for battery-powered applications where power efficiency is crucial.
The MAX1246ACPE incorporates an internal sample-and-hold (S/H) function, which eliminates the need for an external S/H circuitry. This reduces system complexity and cost, making it an attractive choice for applications with space constraints
