SAR ADC

MS51688

  • New design recommended
16bit, 8 channel, 500kSPS, SAR ADC
Overview

MS51688N is an 8-channel, 16bit, charge redistribution successive approximation analog-to-digital converter, using a single power supply.

The MS51688N has all the components required for a multichannel, low-power data acquisition system, including: a true 16-bit SAR ADC with no code loss; An 8-channel low-crosstalk multiplexer for configuring inputs as single-ended inputs (with or without reference ground), differential inputs, or bipolar inputs; Internal low-drift reference source (4.096V) and buffer; Temperature sensor; Optional monopole filter; And a sequencer that is very useful for multi-channel sequential sampling.

MS51688N uses a simple SPI interface to write configuration registers and read conversion results. The SPI interface uses a separate power supply (VIO), which is set to the host logic level. Power consumption is proportional to the conversion rate.

The MS51688N comes in a small QFN20 package and operates from -40°C to +125°C.
