Maxim MAX1437 Octal 12‑Bit ADC Datasheet
The MAX1437 is an octal, 12‑bit analog‑to‑digital converter optimized for low‑power and high‑dynamic‑performance applications such as medical imaging and multichannel communications. It operates from a single 1.8 V supply, consumes only 768 mW total (96 mW per channel) and delivers a typical 69.9 dB SNR at 5.3 MHz.
The device features fully differential inputs, an on‑chip 1.24 V precision band‑gap reference, selectable LVDS or SLVS serial output formats, and a compact 100‑pin TQFP package. Detailed electrical characteristics, timing diagrams and performance graphs are provided for design verification.
