Overview
The ADS7816UB/2K5G4 is a 12-bit, single-channel, successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) produced by Texas Instruments. This device is designed for high-speed, micro-power applications and is particularly suited for industrial and portable instrumentation. It features a synchronous serial interface, low power operation with automatic power down, and a differential input. The ADC operates with a sampling rate of up to 200 kHz and requires an external reference voltage that can range from 100 mV to 5 V. Its compact design and low power consumption make it ideal for battery-operated systems and remote or isolated data acquisition applications.
