The AD7864ASZ-3 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the AD7864 series of ADCs (Analog-to-Digital Converters). This IC is specifically designed to convert analog signals into digital data with high precision and accuracy. Here's an overview of the key features offered by the AD7864ASZ-3:
1. High Resolution: The AD7864ASZ-3 is a 14-bit ADC, which means it can provide digital output with a resolution of 14 bits. This high resolution allows for precise conversion of analog signals into digital form.
2. Multiplexed Input Channels: This IC offers four multiplexed input channels that can be used to convert multiple analog signals. The multiplexing capability enables the conversion of different input channels by sequentially scanning them.
3. Sample-and-Hold Function: The AD7864ASZ-3 integrates a sample-and-hold function that allows it to capture and hold the input voltage at a precise moment. This feature ensures accuracy by sampling the input signal before conversion, eliminating errors caused by varying input voltages during the conversion process.
4. Fast Conversion Speed: With a conversion time of just 3 microseconds, the AD7864ASZ-3 is capable of high-speed analog-to-digital conversion. This rapid conversion time is useful in applications where real-time data processing is required
