The MAX11300 integrates a 12-bit, multichannel, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a 12-bit, multichannel, buffered digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in a single integrated circuit (IC). This device offers 20 mixed signal high-voltage, bipolar ports, which are configurable as an ADC analog input, a DAC analog output, a general purpose input port (GPI), a general-purpose output port (GPO), or an analog switch terminal. One internal and two external temperature sensors track junction and environmental temperature, respectively. Adjacent pairs of ports are configurable as a logic-level translator for open-drain devices or an analog switch. A key differentiator for PIXI technology is each port can be uniquely programmed not only for I/O type, but also for input/output voltages, ranging from -10 V up to +10 V. Each port is individually configurable as device type, but also for input/output voltages with up to four selectable voltage ranges within -10 V to +10 V. PIXI ports provide highly flexible hardware configurations for 12-bit mixed-signal applications making the MAX11300 ideal for applications that demand a mixture of several analog and digital functions such as: Power, control and monitoring, Thermal management, Calibration, drift and offset adjustment, Safety systems, and Low current precision point-of-load power sources.
