MICROCHIP MCP3421A0T-E/CH

A single channel low-noise, high accuracy ΔΣ A/D converter with differential inputs and up to 18 bits of resolution in a small SOT-23-6 package. The on-board precision 2.048V reference voltage enables an input range of ±2.048 V differentially (Δvoltage = 4.096 V). The device uses a two-wire I²C compatible serial interface and operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V power supply. The device performs conversion at rates of 3.75, 15, 60, or 240 samples per second (SPS) depending on the user controllable configuration bit settings using the two-wire I²C serial interface. It has an on-board programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The user can select the PGA gain of ×1, ×2, ×4, or ×8 before the analog-to-digital conversion takes place. This allows the device to convert a smaller input signal with high resolution. The device has two conversion modes: (a) Continuous mode and (b) One-Shot mode. In One-Shot mode, the device enters a low current standby mode automatically after one conversion. This reduces current consumption greatly during idle periods. The device can be used for various high accuracy analog-to-digital data conversion applications where design simplicity, low power, and small footprint are major considerations.
