Description:
For micro-controllers without an analog-to-digital converter or when you
want a higher-precision ADC, provides 16-bit precision at
860 samples/second over I2C.
The chip can be configured as 4
single-ended input channels, or two differential channels.
As a nice
bonus, it even includes a programmable gain amplifier, up to x16, to
help boost up smaller single/differential signals to the full range.
We
like this ADC because it can run from 2V to 5V power/logic, can measure a
large range of signals and its super easy to use. It is a great general
purpose 16 bit converter.
The chip's fairly small so it comes
on a breakout board with ferrites to keep the AVDD and AGND quiet. Interfacing is done via I2C. The address can be changed to one of four
options (see the data-sheet table 5) so you can have up to 4 connected on a single 2-wire I2C bus for 16 single ended inputs.
Four single-ended or two differential
inputs. Programmable comparator; internal low-drift
voltage reference; internal oscillator; internal PGA.
This board/chip uses I2C 7-bit addresses between 0x48-0x4B, selectable with jumpers.
