Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP3201 device is a
successive approximation 12-bit Analog-to-Digital
(A/D) Converter with on-board sample and hold
circuitry. The device provides a single pseudo-differen-
tial input. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) is specified at
±1 LSB, and Integral Nonlinearity (INL) is offered in
±1 LSB (MCP3201-B) and ±2 LSB (MCP3201-C)
versions. Communication with the device is done using
a simple serial interface compatible with the SPI
protocol. The device is capable of sample rates of up to
100 ksps at a clock rate of 1.6 MHz. The MCP3201
device operates over a broad voltage range (2.7V-
5.5V). Low-current design permits operation with
typical standby and active currents of only 500 nA and
300 µA, respectively. The device is offered in 8-pin
MSOP, PDIP, TSSOP and 150 mil SOIC packages.

This parameter is established by characterization and not 100% tested.

Because the sample cap will eventually lose charge, effective clock rates below 10 kHz can affect linearity performance,
especially at elevated temperatures. See
Section 6.2 “Maintaining Minimum Clock Speed”
for more information.
