The AD7873BCP is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the family of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) manufactured by Analog Devices. This particular IC is a high-accuracy, 12-bit, successive-approximation ADC, designed specifically for data acquisition systems that require high performance at a low cost.
Key features of the AD7873BCP ADC IC include:
1. High-Resolution Conversion: The AD7873BCP offers 12-bit resolution, enabling it to convert analog signals into digital values with excellent accuracy and precision.
2. Simultaneous Sampling: This IC is capable of simultaneous sampling of multiple channels, allowing for parallel conversion of signals from different sources simultaneously. It can accommodate up to eight single-ended inputs or four fully differential inputs.
3. Low Power Consumption: The AD7873BCP is designed to operate with low power consumption, making it suitable for applications where energy efficiency is desired.
4. Flexible Conversion Speed: The device offers a flexible conversion speed that can be adjusted to match the specific requirements of the application. It supports conversion rates up to 100 kilosamples per second (ksps), allowing for fast and efficient processing of analog signals.
5. On-Chip Reference: The ADC incorporates an on-chip reference voltage generator, eliminating the need for an external reference source. This simplifies the circuit design and reduces system costs
