12-bit serial A/D converter, 4-channel, 2.7V, SPI, DIP-14

MCP3204
2.7V 4-Channel 12-Bit A/D Converter with SPI Serial Interface

Description:
The MCP3204/3208 devices are successive approximation 12-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converters with on-board sample and hold circuitry. The MCP3204 is programmable to provide two pseudo-differential input pairs or four single-ended inputs. The MCP3208 is programmable to provide four pseudo-differential input pairs or eight single-ended inputs. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) is specified at ±1 LSB, while Integral Nonlinearity (INL) is offered in ±1 LSB (MCP3204/3208-B) and ±2 LSB (MCP3204/3208-C) versions. Communication with the devices is accomplished using a simple serial interface compatible with the SPI protocol. The devices are capable of conversion rates of up to 100 ksps. The MCP3204/3208 devices operate over a broad voltage range (2.7V - 5.5V). Low current design permits operation with typical standby and active currents of only 500 nA and 320 µA, respectively. The MCP3204 is offered in 14-pin PDIP, 150 mil SOIC and TSSOP packages. The MCP3208 is offered in 16-pin PDIP and SOIC packages.
