The MAX5195 is a 14bit 260Msample/s DAC claimed to provide the world's best dynamic performance in spurious-free dynamic range, intermodulation distortion and signal to noise ratio.
Low-power serial ADC runs up to 200Ksample/s
New from Maxim Integrated Products, the MAX1162 serial-interface 16bit A/D convertor connects directly to SPI, QSPI and Microwire devices without additional interface logic.
Six of the input channels are dedicated to the three-phase voltages and three currents.
One channel is dedicated for the neutral line current monitoring, and the eighth channel is for on-chip temperature monitoring.
With this high level integration, the MAXQ3180 makes it easy to monitor the power grid and load status.
