The AD7821KRZ is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the AD7821 family of 8-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). It offers a high level of accuracy and precision in converting analog signals into digital data. Here is an overview and key features of the AD7821KRZ:
1. Resolution: The AD7821KRZ is an 8-bit ADC, providing 256 possible digital output values for the analog input voltage range.
2. Successive Approximation Conversion: This ADC uses the successive approximation technique, which involves a series of approximation steps to determine the digital output corresponding to the analog input.
3. Single-Ended Input Channels: The AD7821KRZ features eight single-ended input channels, allowing it to measure and convert up to eight different analog input signals.
4. Input Voltage Range: The ADC accepts analog input voltages within a range of 0V to Vref, where Vref is the reference voltage provided to the ADC.
5. Conversion Rate: The AD7821KRZ supports a maximum conversion rate of 100 kilosamples per second (ksps), enabling fast and efficient analog-to-digital conversions.
6. No External Components: Unlike some other ADCs, the AD7821KRZ doesn't require any external components for operation, simplifying the design and implementation process
