ADC0838CIWM

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADC0838CIWM is an 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with an integrated multiplexer supporting up to eight single-ended, pseudo-differential, or differential input channels. The device operates on a single power supply ranging from 4.5 V to 6.3 V and communicates via a serial interface compatible with standard SPI protocols. Key electrical specifications include a maximum sampling rate of 31.2 kSPS, a typical power consumption of 15 mW, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 20-pin SOIC surface-mount package.
