The ADS7828E/250 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that is designed to function as an 8-channel, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It is manufactured by Texas Instruments and is commonly used in various applications that require accurate and high-resolution analog-to-digital conversions.
The key features of the ADS7828E/250 include:
1. 8-channel ADC: The IC component offers eight independent analog input channels, allowing simultaneous conversion of multiple input signals with a high degree of accuracy.
2. 12-bit Resolution: This ADC provides a resolution of 12 bits, enabling it to convert analog signals into digital values with precision. The higher the resolution, the more accurate the representation of the input signal.
3. I2C Interface: The ADS7828E/250 communicates with the microcontroller or other digital devices using the standard inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface. This protocol simplifies the communication between the ADC and the controlling device, as it requires only two wires for data transfer.
4. Sampling Rate: It supports a maximum sampling rate of 200 kilosamples per second, ensuring fast conversion times for real-time applications.
5. Low Power Consumption: The IC is designed to operate with low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-operated devices or applications where power efficiency is crucial
