Microchip Technology MCP3204 A/D Converters

Microchip Technology MCP3204 A/D Converters are 12-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters with onboard samples and hold-circuitry. These converters offer two pseudo-differential input pairs or four single-ended inputs. The MCP3204 converters communicate using a simple serial interface compatible with SPI protocol. The MCP3204 A/D converters feature a 2.7V to 5.5V supply voltage range, 500nA, and 300nA active currents. These A/D converters come in 14-pin PDIP, TSSOP, and 150mil SOIC packages. Typical applications include sensor interface, process control, data acquisition, and battery-operated systems.
