Analog to Digital Converters

MCP3008T-I/SLVAO Description

The MCP3008T-I/SLVAO from Microchip Technology is a high-performance 10-bit SAR (Successive Approximation Register) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for precision measurement in automotive and industrial applications. Packaged in a 16-SOIC and supplied via Tape & Reel (TR), this ADC integrates a single-channel A/D converter with an SPI interface, enabling seamless communication with microcontrollers. It operates across a 2.7V to 5.5V supply range (both analog and digital), making it versatile for low-power and battery-operated systems. With a 200k samples/second sampling rate and 1:1 sample-and-hold (S/H) to ADC ratio, it ensures accurate and rapid signal conversion. Its automotive-grade qualification ensures reliability in harsh environments.
