Microchip announces a family of compact Analogue-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) that offer high programmable data rates of up to 153.6 kilosamples per second (kSPS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 24-bit MCP356x and 16-bit MCP346x delta-sigma ADC families<\/a><\/strong> offer faster programmable data rates over similar devices on the market while providing high accuracy and lower noise performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in a tiny 3 mm x 3mm UQFN-20 package, these highly integrated ADCs meet increasing demand for small packaging in space-constrained applications such as portable instrumentation devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most high-resolution delta-sigma ADCs on the market have slower programmable data rates of a few kSPS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MCP356x and MCP346x families offer a much faster data rate, making the devices ideal for a variety of precision applications that require different data speeds, including industrial process control, factory automation and sensor transducers and transmitters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ADCs also offer integrated features to eliminate the need for external components and reduce the overall cost of a system, including an internal oscillator, temperature sensor and burnout current source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new families provide 24-bit or 16-bit resolution, two\/four\/eight single-ended or one\/two\/four differential channel options, allowing developers to choose the most suitable ADC for their designs. The devices join Microchip\u2019s extensive portfolio of versatile ADCs that meet the needs of a variety of speed, accuracy and power consumption requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MCP3564 ADC evaluation kit (ADM00583) is available to demonstrate the performance of the MCP356x family. The kit includes the following components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
