Analog to Digital Converters

ADC0848CCN Description

The ADC0848CCN is an 8-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. Designed for precision signal acquisition, it features 4 or 8 multiplexed analog inputs, enabling flexible multi-channel data acquisition. Operating within a 4.5V to 6V supply range for both analog and digital domains, it delivers a 25k samples per second (ksps) conversion rate, making it suitable for moderate-speed applications. The device employs an external reference voltage, allowing users to optimize accuracy for specific use cases. Packaged in a 24-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), it supports through-hole mounting, ensuring robust integration in legacy systems.

ADC0848CCN Features

• 8-Bit Resolution: Provides sufficient accuracy for industrial control and instrumentation.
• Multi-Channel Input (4/8): Configurable as 4 single-ended or 8 pseudo-differential inputs.
• Parallel Data Interface: Simplifies direct interfacing with microcontrollers or logic circuits.
• Wide Supply Range (4.5V–6V): Compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic levels.
• External Reference Voltage: Enhances flexibility in precision-critical designs.
• 25ksps Sampling Rate: Balances speed and power efficiency for real-time systems.
• Through-Hole Package (24-DIP): Ideal for prototyping and industrial applications requiring durability.
• Operating Temperature (0°C–70°C): Suitable for commercial and industrial environments.

ADC0848CCN Applications

The ADC0848CCN excels in systems requiring moderate-speed analog signal digitization, such as:

• Industrial Control Systems: Process monitoring, sensor interfacing, and data logging.
• Consumer Electronics: Legacy audio equipment, instrumentation panels, and display drivers.
• Automotive Diagnostics: Low-speed signal acquisition for diagnostics and testing.
• Embedded Systems: Integration with microcontrollers for analog signal processing.
• Medical Devices: Portable monitoring equipment where 8-bit resolution suffices.

Conclusion of ADC0848CCN

Though obsolete, the ADC0848CCN remains a reliable choice for low-to-moderate-speed ADC applications due to its simple parallel interface, multi-channel support, and robust through-hole packaging. Its external reference capability and wide voltage compatibility make it adaptable to diverse designs. While newer ADCs offer higher resolution or speed, this device is well-suited for cost-sensitive, legacy, or educational projects where 8-bit precision is adequate. Engineers seeking a straightforward, durable ADC for industrial or prototyping use may still find value in this classic TI component.
