MAXREFDES74#: 18-BIT PRECISION DATA
ACQUISITION SYSTEM
MAXREFDES74# System Board
Introduction
The MAXREFDES74# reference design performs high-speed, 18-bit, precision data
acquisition based on Maxim’s leading-edge, high-accuracy, low-power data converters.
The MAXREFDES74# design works as a building block for a high-speed, low-power,
high-accuracy data acquisition and control system for industrial process control and
automation, and high-speed protection systems for power distribution and automation.
By changing the ADC and DAC to pin-compatible 16-bit devices such as the MAX11166
and the MAX5316, a 16-bit data acquisition system can also be tested.
