The MCP3001-I/SN is a 10-bit successive approximation Analog-to-digital Converter (ADC) with SPI? serial interface and on board sample and hold circuitry. The device provides a single pseudo-differential input. Differential Nonlinearity and integral nonlinearity are both specified at ±1 LSB maximum communication with the device is done using a simple serial interface compatible with the SPI protocol. The device is capable of sample rates up to 200ksps at a clock rate of 2.8MHz. The ADC operates over a broad voltage range. Low current design permits operation with a typical standby current of only 5nA and a typical active current of 400μA.
