The ADS7804U is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for high-performance analog-to-digital conversion. It offers 12-bit resolution, making it suitable for applications that demand accurate and precise conversion of analog signals into digital form. The IC is manufactured by Texas Instruments and comes in a small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package.
One of the key features of the ADS7804U is its high-speed data conversion capability. It is capable of sampling analog input signals at rates of up to 100 kilosamples per second (ksps), ensuring real-time conversion for time-sensitive applications. The fast conversion speed enables the device to capture rapid changes in analog signals accurately.
The ADS7804U also incorporates a versatile input multiplexer with eight channels. This allows the IC to handle multiple analog input signals simultaneously, reducing the need for external multiplexing components. The multiplexer supports both single-ended and differential input configurations, providing flexibility in application design.
To ensure accurate analog-to-digital conversion, the ADS7804U employs a precise internal voltage reference. The integrated reference voltage ensures consistent and reliable conversion performance, minimizing errors caused by external references. Moreover, the IC offers a wide dynamic input voltage range, allowing it to handle diverse analog signal levels.
Another notable feature is the low-power consumption of the ADS7804U. It operates under a low supply voltage (typically 3
