MAX11046 - ADC’s high-impedance input eliminates external components and reduces system costs
The MAX11046 is the industry’s first true 16-bit, 8-channel simultaneous-sampling ADC. The device’s proprietary architecture provides an ultra-low-noise, on-chip, negative supply voltage. This innovative technology achieves true 16-bit performance from a high impedance bipolar input using only a single positive external supply. Performance exceeds the regulatory requirements for Class 0,2 precision (0,2% of 220V) mandated by IEC 62053.
Benefits
- High-impedance input eliminates external buffers for precision designs
- Bipolar input eliminates a level shifter
- 5V single–supply operation
- Integrated 20mA surge protection
- High-impedance input eliminates external buffers for precision designs
Provides the highest precision:
- Industry-leading SNR and THD
- True 16-bit performance exceeds the EN 50160 and IEC 62053 requirements for class 0,2 power-grid equipment
Simplifies design and shortens time to market
- Simultaneous sampling simplifies phase-adjust firmware requirements.
