Description

The ZADCS08x2 family is a set of low power, 8-bit, suc-

cessive approximation analog-to-digital (A/D) converters

with up to 300ksps conversion rate, two up to eight input

channels, high-bandwidth track/hold and synchronous

serial interface.

The ADCs operate from a single + 2.7V to + 5.25V supply.

Their analog inputs are software configurable for unipo-

lar/bipolar and single-ended/differential operation.

The 4-wire serial interface connects directly to SPI™/

(QSPI™ and MICROWIRE™) devices without external

logic.

All family devices can use either the external serial-

interface clock or an internal clock to perform successive-

approximation analog-to-digital conversions. The internal

clock can be used to run independent conversions on

more than one device in parallel.

The ZADCS08x2V versions are equipped with a highly

accurate internal 2.5V reference with an additional external

±1.5% voltage adjustment range.

All members of the ZADCS08x2 family provide a hard-

wired shut-down pin (nSHDN) pin and software-selectable

power-down modes that can be programmed to automati-

cally shut down the IC at the end of a conversion. Access-

ing the serial interface automatically powers up the IC. A

quick turn-on time allows the device to be shut down be-

tween all conversions.
