Analog to Digital Converters

MCP3204-BI/P Description

The MCP3204-BI/P is a high-performance 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Microchip Technology. Designed for precision measurement applications, it features a single ADC with 2 or 4 input channels, offering flexibility for multi-sensor systems. The device operates over a wide analog and digital supply range (2.7V to 5.5V), making it suitable for both low-power and standard voltage environments. With a sampling rate of 100k samples per second (ksps) and an external reference voltage, it ensures accurate and reliable data acquisition. Packaged in a 14-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), it is ideal for through-hole mounting in industrial and embedded systems.
