Microchip MCP3008 10-Bit ADC 8-Channel SPI 2.7V 16-DIP

The Microchip MCP3008 10-Bit ADC is a 10-bit analogue to digital converter with eight channels and an SPI-compatible serial interface, designed for converting analogue signals in microcontroller-based systems.

Overview

The MCP3008 uses successive approximation conversion and includes integrated sample and hold circuitry. It can be programmed to operate with either eight single-ended inputs or four pseudo-differential input pairs, providing flexibility across a range of measurement scenarios. Communication is handled through a straightforward serial interface that is fully compatible with the widely used SPI protocol, which supports integration into most microcontroller-based systems.

Built with low-power CMOS technology, the device suits power-sensitive applications. It has a maximum sampling rate of 200 kSPS and is specified with a maximum Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) and Integral Nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB, supporting accurate conversion for sensing and control tasks.
