DESCRIPTION
The ADC101C021 is a low-power, monolithic, 10-bit,
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a
+2.7 to 5.5V supply. The converter is based on a
successive approximation register architecture with
an internal track-and-hold circuit that can handle input
frequencies up to 11MHz. The ADC101C021
operates from a single supply which also serves as
the reference. The device features an I²C-compatible
serial interface that operates in all three speed
modes, including high speed mode (3.4MHz).
The ADC's Alert feature provides an interrupt that is
activated when the analog input violates a
programmable upper or lower limit value. The device
features an automatic conversion mode, which frees
up the controller and I²C interface. In this mode, the
ADC continuously monitors the analog input for an
"out-of-range" condition and provides an interrupt if
the measured voltage goes out-of-range.
The ADC101C021 comes in two packages: a small
SOT-6 package with an alert output, and an VSSOP-
8 package with an alert output and two address
selection inputs. The ADC101C027 comes in a small
SOT-6 package with an address selection input. The
ADC101C027 provides three pin-selectable
addresses while the VSSOP-8 version of the
ADC101C021 provides nine pin-selectable
addresses. Pin-compatible alternatives to the SOT-6
options are available with additional address options.
Normal power consumption using a +3V or +5V
supply is 0.26mW or 0.78mW, respectively. The
automatic power-down feature reduces the power
consumption to less than 1µW while not converting.
Operation over the industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +105°C is guaranteed. Their low power
consumption and small packages make this family of
ADCs an excellent choice for use in battery operated
equipment.
The ADC101C021 and ADC101C027 are part of a
family of pin-compatible ADCs that also provide 12
and 8 bit resolution. For 12-bit ADCs see the
ADC121C021 and ADC121C027. For 8-bit ADCs see
the ADC081C021 and ADC081C027.
