The MAX135CPI is an integrated circuit (IC) component that offers high-performance, low-power, 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion capabilities. It is manufactured by Maxim Integrated, a leading provider of analog and mixed-signal ICs.
The MAX135CPI is equipped with a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture, allowing it to deliver accurate and fast conversion of analog signals into digital data. It is capable of converting analog signals at speeds up to 100 kilosamples per second (ksps), making it suitable for applications that require real-time data acquisition.
One of the key features of the MAX135CPI is its wide input voltage range, which extends from -5V to +5V. This makes it versatile and compatible with various analog signal sources. Additionally, the IC supports both single-ended and differential input modes, providing flexibility in acquiring different types of signals.
The MAX135CPI offers excellent linearity and low total harmonic distortion (THD), ensuring the accuracy and integrity of converted data. It also incorporates an internal sample-and-hold circuit that maintains signal integrity during the conversion process, eliminating the need for an external sample-and-hold amplifier.
To ensure power efficiency, the IC features a power-down mode that significantly reduces power consumption when not in use. It also includes a conversion start input pin, enabling precise control of the conversion process in synchronous applications
