ADC0831/ADC0832/ADC0834 and ADC0838
8-Bit Serial I/O A/D Converters with Multiplexer Options
General Description
The ADC0831 series are 8-bit successive approximation
A/D converters with a serial I/O and configurable input mul-
tiplexers with up to 8 channels. The serial I/O is configured
to comply with the NSC MICROWIRE
TM
serial data ex-
change standard for easy interface to the COPS
TM
family of
processors, and can interface with standard shift registers
or mPs.
The 2-, 4- or 8-channel multiplexers are software configured
for single-ended or differential inputs as well as channel as-
signment.
The differential analog voltage input allows increasing the
common-mode rejection and offsetting the analog zero in-
put voltage value. In addition, the voltage reference input
can be adjusted to allow encoding any smaller analog volt-
age span to the full 8 bits of resolution.
