♦ 12-Bit Resolution
The MAX187/MAX189 serial 12-bit analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) operate from a single +5V supply
and accept a 0V to 5V analog input. Both parts feature
a n 8.5µs s uc c e s s ive -a p p roxima tion ADC, a fa s t
track/hold (1.5µs), an on-chip clock, and a high-speed
3-wire serial interface.

♦ Low Power: 2µA Shutdown Current
1.5mA Operating Current
The MAX187/MAX189 d ig itize s ig na ls a t a 75ks p s
throughput rate. An external clock accesses data from
the interface, which communicates without external
hardware to most digital signal processors and micro-
c ontrolle rs . The inte rfa c e is c omp a tib le with SPI™,
QSPI™, and Microwire™.

♦ Small-Footprint 8-Pin DIP and 16-Pin SO
_________________Ord e rin g In fo rm a t io n
The MAX187 has an on-chip buffered reference, and
the MAX189 requires an external reference. Both the
MAX187 and MAX189 save space with 8-pin DIP and
16-pin SO packages. Power consumption is 7.5mW
and reduces to only 10µW in shutdown.

Excellent AC characteristics and very low power con-
sumption combined with ease of use and small pack-
age size make these converters ideal for remote DSP
and sensor applications, or for circuits where power
consumption and space are crucial.
