Overview
The MAX150BCWP+ is a high-speed, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) produced by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This component is designed for microprocessor compatibility and utilizes a half-flash conversion technique to achieve a fast conversion time of 1.34 μs. It operates on a single +5V supply and includes a built-in track-and-hold function, eliminating the need for an external track-and-hold circuit for input slew rates up to 100 mV/μs. The MAX150BCWP+ also features an on-chip 2.5 V reference output, making it a complete ADC solution.
