MAX186ACAP Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX186ACAP is a high-performance, 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) designed for low-power applications. It features 8-channel single-ended or 4-channel differential inputs, configurable for unipolar or bipolar operation. The device supports a single +5V or dual ±5V supply, with low operating current of 1.5mA and a power-down current of just 2µA.

Connectivity is facilitated by a 4-wire serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE standards, allowing direct connection to microcontrollers and DSPs. The MAX186ACAP includes an internal track/hold circuit and an internal 4.096V reference, simplifying system design. It operates with an internal clock or an external serial interface clock, achieving sampling rates up to 133kHz.

Available in 20-pin PDIP, SO, and SSOP packages, the MAX186ACAP is suitable for various data acquisition systems, including portable data logging, battery-powered instruments, and high-accuracy process control.

Key electrical specifications include a 12-bit resolution, 8-channel input capability, and a sampling rate of 133kHz. The device operates from a single +5V supply or dual ±5V supplies, consuming minimal power in both operating and power-down modes.
