Maxim Integrated Products has released the MAX1336/MAX1337 (8bit), MAX1334/MAX1335 (10bit), and MAX1332/MAX1333 (12bit) family of high-speed, analogue-to-digital convertors.

Maxim Integrated Products has released the MAX1336/MAX1337 (8bit), MAX1334/MAX1335 (10bit), and MAX1332/MAX1333 (12bit) family of high-speed, analogue-to-digital convertors (ADCs) These ADCs feature two true-differential inputs, 3 or 5V single-supply operation, and a SPI-/QSPI-/Microwire-compatible interface

Their small, 9mm2 footprint saves 85% board space and the low 67mW power dissipation consumes 40% less power than the closest competitor (ADS7881).

With a high conversion rate and DC accuracy (+/-1LSB INL), these ICs are ideal for applications ranging from industrial process control and motor control to battery-powered wireless applications.

These ADCs all operate from either a 4.75-5.25 or 2.7-3.6V single supply.

The MAX1336/MAX1337 have a 6.5Msample/s (maximum) sampling rate, whereas the MAX1334/MAX1335 have 4.5Msample/s sampling rates, and the MAX1332/MAX1333 devices have a 4Msample/s (maximum) sampling rate.

These devices consume only 12mA at the maximum conversion rate and feature partial and full power-down modes that reduce the supply current to 3.3mA and 0.2uA, respectively.

A separate DVDD pin allows direct interfacing to 1.8 to 3.6V digital logic.

The MAX1336/MAX1337, MAX1334/MAX1335 and MAX1332/MAX1333 are available in space-saving 9mm2 16-pin TQFN packages in the extended (-40 to +85C) temperature range.

Prices start at $1.85 (1000-up, FOB USA).
