The Microchip Technology MCP3204/3208 devices are successive approximation 12-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converters featuring on-board sample and hold circuitry. The MCP3208 provides eight input channels, programmable as pseudo-differential pairs or single-ended inputs. It boasts a SPI serial interface, a maximum sampling rate of 100 ksps, and low power consumption, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including sensor interfaces, process control, data acquisition, and battery-operated systems. The device operates over a broad voltage range (2.7V - 5.5V) and is available in PDIP and SOIC packages.
