The ADC0808, ADC0809 data acquisition component is a
monolithic CMOS device with an 8-bit analog-to-digital converter,
8-channel multiplexer and microprocessor compatible
control logic. The 8-bit A/D converter uses successive approximation
as the conversion technique. The converter features
a high impedance chopper stabilized comparator, a
256R voltage divider with analog switch tree and a successive
approximation register. The 8-channel multiplexer can
directly access any of 8-single-ended analog signals.
The device eliminates the need for external zero and
full-scale adjustments. Easy interfacing to microprocessors
is provided by the latched and decoded multiplexer address
inputs and latched TTL TRI-STATE? outputs.
The design of the ADC0808, ADC0809 has been optimized
by incorporating the most desirable aspects of several A/D
conversion techniques. The ADC0808, ADC0809 offers high
speed, high accuracy, minimal temperature dependence, excellent
long-term accuracy and repeatability, and consumes
minimal power. These features make this device ideally
suited to applications from process and machine control to
consumer and automotive applications. For 16-channel multiplexer
with common output (sample/hold port) see
