Block Diagram

Description

The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP3550/1/3 devices are 2.7V to 5.5V low-power, 22-bit Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs). The devices offer output noise as low as 2.5 µV

, with a total

RMS

unadjusted error of 10 ppm. The family exhibits 6ppm Integral Non-Linearity (INL) error, 3 µV offset error and less than 2 ppm full-scale error. The MCP3550/1/3 devices provide high accuracy and low noise performance for applications where sensor measurements (such as pressure, temperature and humidity) are performed. With the internal oscillator and high oversampling rate, minimal external components are required for high-accuracy applications.

This product line has fully differential analog inputs, making it compatible with a wide variety of sensor, industrial control or process co ntrol applications.

The MCP3550/1/3 devices operate from -40°C to +125°C and are available in the space-saving 8-pin MSOP and SOIC packages.
