The ADS8320E/250 is a 16-bit sampling Analog-to-digital Converter (ADC) with ensured specifications over a 2.7 to 5.25V supply range. It requires very little power even when operating at the full 100kHz data rate. At lower data rates, the high speed of the device enables it to spend most of its time in the power-down mode - the average power dissipation is less than 100μW at 10kHz data rate. The ADC also features operation from 2 to 5.25V, a synchronous serial (SPI/SSI compatible) interface and a differential input. The reference voltage can be set to any level within the range of 500mV to VCC. Ultra-low power and small size make the ADC ideal for portable and battery-operated systems. It is also a perfect fit for remote data acquisition modules, simultaneous multi-channel systems and isolated data acquisition.
