ADS7816UC/2K5

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS7816UC/2K5 is a 12-bit high-speed micro-power sampling analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with a single differential or single-ended input channel. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.25 V for both analog and digital domains, consuming only 1.9 mW of power. It supports a maximum sampling rate of 200 kS/s and utilizes a 3-wire serial interface compatible with standard SPI protocols. The component is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package and is rated for operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
