Description
The MCP3421 is a single channel low-noise, high
accuracy
ΔΣ
A/D converter with differential inputs and
up to 18 bits of resolution in a small SOT-23-6 package.
The on-board precision 2.048V reference voltage
enables an input range of ±2.048V differentially
(Δ voltage = 4.096V). The device uses a two-wire I
2
C
compatible serial interface and operates from a single
2.7V to 5.5V power supply.
The MCP3421 device performs conversion at rates of
3.75, 15, 60, or 240 samples per second (SPS)
depending on the user controllable configuration bit
settings using the two-wire I
2
C serial interface. This
device has an on-board programmable gain amplifier
(PGA). The user can select the PGA gain of x1, x2, x4,
or x8 before the analog-to-digital conversion takes
place. This allows the MCP3421 device to convert a
smaller input signal with high resolution. The device
has two conversion modes: (a) Continuous mode and
(b) One-Shot mode. In One-Shot mode, the device
enters a low current standby mode automatically after
one conversion. This reduces current consumption
greatly during idle periods.
The MCP3421 device can be used for various high
accuracy analog-to-digital data conversion applications
where design simplicity, low power, and small footprint
are major considerations.
