ADC0832BCN

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADC0832BCN is an 8-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by National Semiconductor. It features a serial I/O interface compliant with the NSC MICROWIRE standard, facilitating direct connection to COPS family processors or standard microprocessors. The device includes configurable input multiplexers supporting up to eight channels, allowing for flexible single-ended or differential input configurations. Operating on a single 5V power supply, it provides a 0V to 5V input range without requiring zero or full-scale adjustments. Key electrical parameters include an 8-bit resolution and a sampling rate of 31 kS/s.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Serial I/O compatible with NSC MICROWIRE standard for easy processor interfacing
• Configurable input multiplexer supporting 2, 4, or 8 channels with address logic
• Operates ratiometrically or with a 5 V DC voltage reference
• TTL/MOS input/output compatible with 0.3" standard width DIP package

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Data acquisition systems requiring serial communication
• Industrial process control monitoring
• Battery-powered instrumentation due to low power operation

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Texas Instruments acquired National Semiconductor. Confirm the specific suffix 'BCN' corresponds to the MDIP8 package variant. Ensure compatibility with existing MICROWIRE protocol implementations in the target system design.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit resolution and serial interface are required. It is suitable for applications needing configurable channel multiplexing. Consider the 31 kS/s sampling rate against application bandwidth requirements. Verify voltage supply constraints match the 4.5V to 6.3V operating range.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

The ADC0832 series belongs to National Semiconductor's line of 8-bit A/D converters. It is part of a family that includes variants like the ADC0831 and ADC0838. The BCN suffix typically denotes the plastic dual-in-line package configuration used in through-hole mounting applications.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the ADC0831 and ADC0838. Check pinout compatibility and software interface requirements when replacing with other 8-bit serial ADCs from different manufacturers.
