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.
