The Microchip MCP300X family of 10-bit analog-to-digital

converters (ADCs) combines high performance and low

power consumption in a small package – making it ideal

for embedded control applications.

Consisting of the MCP3001, MCP3002, MCP3004 and

MCP3008, the MCP300X family features a successive

approximation register (SAR) architecture and an industry-

1, 2, 4 or 8 input channels and in PDIP, SOIC and TSSOP

packages.

The MCP300X family offers existing Microchip customers

added flexibility when incorporating analog inputs into

their designs. The industry standard SPI interface allows

10-bit ADC capability to be added to any PICmicro®

microcontroller. In addition, new customers will find the

performance and price of the MCP300X family very

attractive.

Applications for the MCP300X family include data

acquisition, instrumentation and measurement, multi-

channel data loggers, industrial PCs, motor control,

robotics, industrial automation, smart sensors, portable

instrumentation and home medical appliances.
