Multi-Range (±4V, ±2V, +4V, +2V), +5V Supply, 12-Bit DAS with 8+4 Bus Interface
_______________General Description
The MAX199 multi-range, 12-bit data-acquisition system (DAS) requires only a single +5V supply for operation, and converts analog signals up to ±4V at its inputs. This system provides eight analog input channels that are independently software programmable for a variety of ranges: ±VREF, ±VREF/2, 0V to VREF, or 0V to VREF/2. This increases effective dynamic range to 14 bits, and provides the user flexibility to interface 4mA-to-20mA, ±12V, and ±15V powered sensors to a single +5V system. In addition, the converter is fault-protected to ±16.5V; a fault condition on any channel will not affect the conversion result of the selected channel.
