The MAX144/MAX145 low-p owe r, 12-b it a na log -to-
digital converters (ADCs) are available in 8-pin µMAX
and DIP packages. Both devices operate with a single
+2.7V to +5.25V supply and feature a 7.4µs succes-
sive-approximation ADC, automatic power-down, fast
wake-up (2.5µs), an on-chip clock, and a high-speed,
3-wire serial interface.
♦ Single-Supply Operation (+2.7V to +5.25V)
♦ Two Single-Ended Channels (MAX144)
One Pseudo-Differential Channel (MAX145)
♦ Low Power
0.9mA (108ksps, +3V Supply)
100µA (10ksps, +3V Supply)
10µA (1ksps, +3V Supply)
0.2µA (Power-Down Mode)
Power consumption is only 3.2mW (V = +3.6V) at the
DD
maximum sampling rate of 108ksps. At slower through-
p ut ra te s , the a utoma tic s hutd own (0.2µA) furthe r
reduces power consumption.
