Maxim MAX1253/MAX1254 Datasheet
The MAX1253 and MAX1254 are stand‑alone, 10‑channel (8 external, 2 internal) 12‑bit system‑monitor ADCs that operate without a microprocessor. They feature an internal reference, programmable single‑ended/differential multiplexers, and an internal temperature sensor. The devices can generate interrupts when measured values exceed user‑defined limits and support recursive averaging for noise reduction.
Typical applications include system supervision, remote telecom networks, server farms, and handheld or battery‑powered devices. The parts are supplied in a 16‑pin TSSOP package and consume as little as 5 mW (1.7 mA at 3 V) at the maximum 94 ksps sampling rate.
