MICROCHIP MCP3422A2T-E/MC

The MCP3422, MCP3423 and MCP3424 devices (MCP3422/3/4) are low noise and high accuracy 18-Bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital (△≥ A/D) converters. These devices can convert analog inputs to digital codes with up to 18 bits of resolution. The on-board 2.048V reference voltage enables an input range of ± 2.048V differentially (fullscale range = 4.096V/PGA). These devices can output analog-to-digital conversion results at rates of 3.75, 15, 60, or 240 samples per second depending on the user controllable configuration bit settings using the two-wire I²C serial interface. During each conversion, the device calibrates offset and gain errors automatically. This provides accurate conversion results from conversion to conversion over variations in temperature and power supply fluctuation. The user can select the PGA gain of x1, x2, x4, or x8 before the analog-to-digital conversion takes place. This allows the MCP3422/3/4 devices to convert a very weak input signal with high resolution. The MCP3422/3/4 devices have two conversion modes: (a) One-Shot Conversion mode and (b) Continuous Conversion mode. In One-Shot conversion mode, the device performs a single conversion and enters a low current standby mode automatically until it receives another conversion command. This reduces current consumption greatly during idle periods. In Continuous conversion mode, the conversion takes place continuously at the set conversion speed. The device updates its output buffer with the most recent conversion data. The devices operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V power supply and have a two-wire I²C compatible serial interface for a standard (100 kHz), fast (400 kHz), or high-speed (3.4 MHz) mode. The I²C address bits for the MCP3423 and MCP3424 are selected by using two external I²C address selection pins (Adro and Adr1). The user can configure the device to one of eight available addresses by connecting these two address selection pins to VDD, VSS or float. The I²C address bits of the MCP3422 are programmed at the factory during production. The MCP3422 and MCP3423 devices have two differential input channels and the MCP3424 has four differential input channels. All electrical properties of these three devices are the same except the differences in the number of input channels and I²C address bit selection options. The MCP3422 is available in 8-pin SOIC, DFN, and MSOP packages. The MCP3423 is available in 10-pin DFN, and MSOP packages. The MCP3424 is available in 14-pin SOIC and TSSOP packages.
