MAX11200 ADC Overview Slide 3

The MAX11200 achieves excellent effective number of bits (ENOB) while drawing just 300 microamps maximum supply current. The MAX11200s higher ENOB eliminates power-hungry gain stages while achieving the highest precision possible with a direct connection to the sensor. Applications such as portable sensors and 4 - 20 mA loop sensors put a premium on power dissipation. In the 4 - 20 mA loops, ADCs are typically given a maximum power budget of 500 microamps. Therefore, it can be challenging to find an ADC that meets the power budget while also offering enough resolution to resolve minute changes from sensors measuring signals such as temperature, pressure, and mass flow rate.
