Parallel interface and channel count — BOM fit
The parallel data interface connects directly to an MCU or DSP bus without a serial bridge. Eight analog input channels cover multi-sensor front-ends without an external mux. Single-supply operation uses one 5V rail for the ADC core and analog front-end.
Lifecycle and compliance
The MAX197BEAI+ is listed as Active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs, the part is still a valid selection — no forced migration risk.
