Product Details

The MAX115/MAX116 are high-speed, multichannel, 12-bit data-acquisition systems (DAS) with simultaneous track/holds (T/Hs). These devices contain a 12-bit, 2µs, successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a +2.5V reference, a buffered reference input, and a bank of four simultaneous-sampling T/H amplifiers that preserve the relative phase information of the sampled inputs. The MAX115/MAX116 have two multiplexed inputs for each T/H, allowing a total of eight inputs. In addition, the converter is overvoltage tolerant to ±17V. A fault condition on any channel will not damage the IC. Available input ranges are ±5V (MAX115) and ±2.5V (MAX116).

The parallel interface's data access and bus release timing specifications are compatible with most popular digital signal processors and 16-bit/32-bit microprocessors. The MAX115/MAX116 conversion results can be accessed without resorting to wait-states.

Evaluation Board

MAX115EVKIT

Description

The MAX115 evaluation system (EV system) is a complete, eight channel data-acquisition system consisting of a MAX115 evaluation kit (EV kit) and a Maxim 68HC16MOD-16WIDE microcontroller (µC) module. The MAX115 is a high speed, multichannel, 12-bit data acquisition system with simultaneous track/holds. Windows® 3.1/Windows 95 software provides a handy user interface to exercise the MAX115's features.

Order the complete EV System (MAX115EVB16) for comprehensive evaluation of the MAX115 using a personal computer. Order the EV kit (MAX115EVKIT) if the 68HC16MOD-16WIDE Module has already been purchased with a previous Maxim EV system or for custom use in other µC-based systems.
