MAX180AEQH+D

Data Acquisition - ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose

MAX180AEQH+D is a high-performance, low-power, low-cost 8-bit 1-channel successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This device is designed to be interfaced directly to a microprocessor (MPU) with minimum external components. Its excellent acquisition rate and sampling features eliminates the need for external glue logic components, making it suitable for cost-sensitive applications.

The device has a high-speed, 8-bit, 1-channel successive approximation analog-to-digital conversion and three independent input channels. It includes an 8-bit Latency Clock (LTC) and a Programmable Settling Time option (PST). The Latency Clock can be used to trigger the next conversion cycle, while the PST allows the user to customize the conversion rate.

The device includes a digital phase-locking loop (PLL) to maintain the accuracy of the converted data. The device also supports a programmable data acquisition rate and a programmable sampling per conversion setting. In addition, the device has a power-saving mode to preserve battery life.

The MAX180AEQH+D is designed for use in a wide range of applications. It is ideal for medical, industrial and consumer/audio applications, including medical diagnostic instrumentation, portable medical monitors, patient monitoring systems and factory automation systems. In addition, its low-power consumption and excellent signal-tonoise ratio make it an ideal choice for audio systems and portable consumer devices.

The device is a monolithic integrated circuit (IC). It includes an 8-channel analog-to-digital conversion and a digital PLL. The analog stage is composed of an 8-channel multiplexer, which is connected to an 8-bit successive approximation register (SAR) and an analog-to-digital converter. The analog input signals are multiplexed and then digitized by the SAR and the ADC.

The digital section includes an 8-bit latency clock and a programmable settling time option. It also contains a controllable oscillator, which is used to control the speed of the conversion process. The device also contains internal logic for data storage and transmission.

In operation, the input signal is first multiplexed and digitized. Then, the digitized data is compared to a reference voltage to determine the 8-bit conversion result. This is then stored in an 8-bit register. Finally, the data is outputted to the MPU or other peripheral.

The MAX180AEQH+D is a low-power, low-cost device that provides a high-speed, 8-bit, 1-channel successive approximation analog-to-digital conversion with three independent input channels. It is suitable for a variety of applications, including medical devices, industrial systems, consumer/audio systems and portable consumer devices. Its low-power consumption and excellent signal-to-noise ratio make it an ideal choice for audio and consumer applications.
