ADC08831/ADC08832
8-Bit Serial I/O CMOS A/D Converters with Multiplexer
and Sample/Hold Function
General Description
The ADC08831/ADC08832 are 8-bit successive approxima-
tion Analog to Digital converters with 3-wire serial interfaces
and a configurable input multiplexer for 2 channels. The se-
rial I/O will interface to COPS
family, PLD’s, microproces-
sors, DSP’s, or shift registers. The serial I/O is configured to
comply with the NSC MICROWIRE
serial data exchange
standard.
To minimize total power consumption, the
ADC08831/ADC08832 automatically go into low power
mode whenever they are not performing conversions.
A track/hold function allows the analog voltage at the positive
input to vary during the actual A/D conversion.
The analog inputs can be configured to operate in various
combination of single-ended, differential, or
pseudo-differential modes. The voltage reference input can
be adjusted to allow encoding of small analog voltage spans
to the full 8-bits of resolution.
