Overview
The MAX150BCWP+T, produced by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, is a high-speed, microprocessor-compatible, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This component utilizes a half-flash technique to achieve a conversion time of 1.34 μs, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid analog-to-digital conversions. The MAX150BCWP+T is part of the MAX150/MX7820 family 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. It also features an on-chip 2.5 V reference output, enhancing its functionality as a complete ADC solution.
