The MC14490DWG is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MC14000 series, designed by Motorola. It is a versatile MOS-based logic device known as an "Expandable 4-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter" or "Hex Analog-to-Digital Converter."
The IC is capable of converting an analog input voltage into a 4-bit digital representation. It offers several important features that make it suitable for various applications. Here is an overview of key features:
1. Hex Analog-to-Digital Conversion: The MC14490DWG has six independent converters, allowing it to simultaneously convert six different analog input voltages into corresponding 4-bit digital outputs.
2. Wide Analog Input Range: The IC supports a broad range of analog input voltages, spanning from 0V to Vcc (the supply voltage), making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
3. Resolution and Accuracy: The MC14490DWG provides a 4-bit digital output, resulting in a maximum of 16 different possible digital codes. This provides reasonably accurate digitization of analog signals.
4. Expandability: The IC is designed to be easily expandable and can be cascaded with additional MC14490DWG devices to increase the number of analog inputs and converters.
5. Low Power Consumption: The IC operates at low power, making it energy-efficient and suitable for battery-powered applications where power conservation is crucial
