ADC0808/ADC0809
8-Bit µP Compatible A/D Converters with 8-Channel
Multiplexer
General Description
The ADC0808, ADC0809 data acquisition component is a
monolithic CMOS device with an 8-bit analog-to-digital con-
verter, 8-channel multiplexer and microprocessor compatible
control logic. The 8-bit A/D converter uses successive ap-
proximation as the conversion technique. The converter fea-
tures a high impedance chopper stabilized comparator, a
256R voltage divider with analog switch tree and a succes-
sive approximation register. The 8-channel multiplexer can
directly access any of 8-single-ended analog signals.
The device eliminates the need for external zero and
full-scale adjustments. Easy interfacing to microprocessors
is provided by the latched and decoded multiplexer address
inputs and latched TTL TRI-STATE
®
outputs.
The design of the ADC0808, ADC0809 has been optimized
by incorporating the most desirable aspects of several A/D
conversion techniques. The ADC0808, ADC0809 offers high
speed, high accuracy, minimal temperature dependence, ex-
cellent long-term accuracy and repeatability, and consumes
minimal power. These features make this device ideally
suited to applications from process and machine control to
consumer and automotive applications. For 16-channel mul-
