19-5238; Rev 0; 4/10
16-Bit, Single-Channel, Ultra-Low Power,
Delta-Sigma ADC with 2-Wire Serial Interface
General Description
The MAX11205 is an ultra-low-power (< 300FA max
active current), high-resolution, serial-output ADC. This
device provides the highest resolution per unit power
in the industry, and is optimized for applications that
require very high dynamic range with low power such as
sensors on a 4mA to 20mA industrial control loop. The
MAX11205 provides a high-accuracy internal oscillator
that requires no external components.
When used with the specified data rates, the internal
digital filter provides more than 80dB rejection of 50Hz or
60Hz line noise. The MAX11205 provides a simple 2-wire
serial interface in the space-saving, 10-pin
FMAX
M
pack-
age. The MAX11205 operates over the -40NC to +85NC
temperature range.
