The MCP3301 is a 13-bit A/D converter from Microchip Technology Inc. that features full differential inputs and low power consumption. It is ideal for battery powered systems and remote data acquisition applications. The device uses a serial interface and can be added to any PICmicro microcontroller.
The MCP3301 13‑bit A/D converter from Microchip features full differential inputs and a low‑power design suitable for battery‑operated and remote‑sensor applications. It uses a successive‑approximation architecture with an SPI™ serial interface, allowing easy integration with PICmicro® microcontrollers.
The device operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, draws as little as 50 nA standby current, and can achieve 100 ksps sampling at 5 V (50 ksps at 2.7 V). It is offered in 8‑pin MSOP, PDIP, and SOIC packages and is rated for an industrial temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C.
