Description

The MCP3425 is a single channel low-noise, high accuracy delta-sigma A/D converter with differential inputs and up to 16 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. The device uses a two-wire I²C? compatible serial interface and operates from a single power supply ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V.The MCP3425 device performs conversions at rates of 15, 60 or 240 samples per second with corresponding resolutions of 16, 14 and 12 bits. This is adjustable through the user controllable configuration bit settings using the two-wire I²C? compatible serial interface. This device has an onboard programmable gain amplifier (PGA). User can select the PGA gain of x1, x2, x4, or x8 before the analog-to-digital conversion takes place. This allows the MCP3425 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 MCP3425 device can be used for various high accuracy analog-to-digital data conversion applications where ease of use, low power consumption and small footprint are major considerations.
