Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP3001 is a successive approximation 10-bit A/D converter (ADC) with onboard sample and hold circuitry. T he dev ic e p rov id es a
single pseudo-differential input. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) and Integral N onlin earity (INL) are bo th spe cified at ±1 LSB max. Communication with the device is
done using a simple serial interface compa tible with the
SPI protocol. The de vi ce is capable of sample rates u p
to 200 ksps at a clock rat e of 2.8 MHz. The MCP3001
operates over a broad voltage range (2.7V - 5.5V).
Low current design permits operation with a typical
standby current of only 5 nA and a typical active c urrent
of 400 µA. The device is offered in 8-pin PDIP, MSOP,
TSSOP and 150 mil SOIC packages.
Storage temperature ..........................-65°C to +150°C
Ambient temp. with power applied.....-65°C to +125°C
ESD protection on all pins (HBM)........................> 4kV
*Notice: Stresses above those listed under “Maximum ratings”
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only and functional operation of the device at those or
any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability.
