Maxim Integrated MAX1258EVKIT

Description

The MAX1220/MAX1257/MAX1258 integrate a 12-bit, multichannel, analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a 12-
bit, octal, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in a single IC. These devices also include a temperature sensor and
configurable general-purpose I/O ports (GPIOs) with a 25MHz SPI-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE®-compatible serial
interface. The ADC is available in 8 and 16 input-channel versions. The octal DAC outputs settle within 2.0µs and
the ADC has a 225ksps conversion rate.
