Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP3221 is a succes-
sive approximation A/D converter with 12-bit resolu-
tion. Available in the SOT-23 package, this device
provides one single-ended input with very low power
consumption. Based on an advanced CMOS technol-
ogy, the MCP3221 provides a low maximum conver-
sion current and standby current of 250 µA and 1 µA,
respectively. Low current consumption, combined with
the small SOT-23 package, make this device ideal for
battery-powered and remote data acquisition
applications.
Communication to the MCP3221 is performed using a
2-wire, I²C compatible interface. Standard (100 kHz)
and Fast (400 kHz) I²C modes are available with the
device. An on-chip conversion clock enables indepen-
dent timing for the I²C and conversion clocks. The
device is also addressable, allowing up to eight devices
on a single 2-wire bus.
The MCP3221 runs on a single supply voltage that
operates over a broad range of 2.7V to 5.5V. This
device also provides excellent linearity of ±1 LSB differ-
ential non-linearity and ±2 LSB integral non-linearity,
maximum.
