+2.7V, Low-Power, 2-Channel, 108ksps, Serial 12-Bit ADCs in 8-Pin µMAX
General Description
The MAX144/MAX145 low-power, 12-bit analog-todigital converters (ADCs) are available in 8-pin µMAX and DIP packages. Both devices operate with a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply and feature a 7.4µs successive-approximation ADC, automatic power-down, fast wake-up (2.5µs), an on-chip clock, and a high-speed, 3-wire serial interface. Power consumption is only 3.2mW (VDD = +3.6V) at the maximum sampling rate of 108ksps. At slower throughput rates, the automatic shutdown (0.2µA) further reduces power consumption. The MAX144 provides 2-channel, single-ended operation and accepts input signals from 0 to VREF. The MAX145 accepts pseudo-differential inputs ranging from 0 to V REF .
