Microchip Technology, Inc. Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) MCP3462T-E/NC

The MCP3462T-E/NC is a dual-channel, 16-bit Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) designed for precision data acquisition applications. It supports a programmable data rate of up to 153.6 ksps and offers a wide input voltage range from 0V to AVDD. The device features programmable gain settings ranging from 0.33x to 64x, ensuring flexibility for various sensor types. With a low noise level of 3.2 ¬µV RMS at a gain of 16x and a minimum effective resolution of 15.5 bits across all gain settings, the MCP3462T-E/NC is suitable for high-accuracy measurements. It includes an internal oscillator, temperature sensor, and burnout current sources for sensor detection, which help reduce the overall component count in a system. The ADC operates over an extended temperature range of -40¬8C to +125¬8C and is available in both a 20-lead UQFN package and a 20-lead TSSOP package. Advanced security features, including a 16-bit CRC for secure SPI communications and configuration locking, enhance its reliability in secure environments. The device is ideal for applications such as precision sensor transducers, factory automation, and portable instrumentation.
