_______________General Description
The MAX197 multi-range, 12-bit data-acquisition system (DAS) requires only a single +5V supply for operation, yet accepts signals at its analog inputs that may
span both above the power-supply rail and below
ground. This system provides 8 analog input channels
that are independently software programmable for a
variety of ranges: ±10V, ±5V, 0V to +10V, or 0V to +5V.
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 overvoltage tolerant to
±16.5V; a fault condition on any channel will not affect
the conversion result of the selected channel. Other
features include a 5MHz bandwidth track/hold, a
100ksps throughput rate, software-selectable internal or
external clock and acquisition, 8+4 parallel interface,
and an internal 4.096V or an external reference.
A hardware SHDN pin and two programmable powerdown modes (STBYPD, FULLPD) are provided for lowcurrent shutdown between conversions. In STBYPD
mode, the reference buffer remains active, eliminating
start-up delays.
The MAX197 employs a standard microprocessor (µP)
interface. A three-state data I/O port is configured to
operate with 8-bit data buses, and data-access and
bus-release timing specifications are compatible with
most popular µPs. All logic inputs and outputs are
TTL/CMOS compatible.
The MAX197 is available in 28-pin DIP, wide SO, SSOP,
and ceramic SB packages.
For a different combination of ranges (±4V, ±2V, 0V to
4V, 0V to 2V), see the MAX199 data sheet. For 12-bit bus
interface, see the MAX196 and MAX198 data sheets.
