ADS8344EB/2K5 – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The Texas Instruments ADS8344EB/2K5 is a 16-bit, low-power, successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) packaged in a 20-pin TSSOP. It boasts a maximum sampling rate of 2.5 MSPS, directly addressing the need for high-speed, precise data acquisition in applications demanding minimal power consumption. Operating from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply, the ADS8344EB/2K5 features an input voltage range of 0V to VREF, with VREF typically set between 2.5V and 5V. Its internal reference ensures high accuracy and simplifies circuit design._x000D_

This device utilizes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for data communication, offering flexible integration with various microcontrollers. Key features include an integrated input buffer, enabling direct connection to sensor outputs, and a power-down mode significantly reducing current draw. The device’s low noise performance (typical 100nV RMS) and high linearity make it suitable for precision measurement applications like industrial process control, high-resolution data acquisition systems, and medical instrumentation where accurate, low-power analog signal conversion is critical. The 2.5 MSPS sampling rate makes it particularly advantageous in applications requiring real-time signal processing with high fidelity. Its small TSSOP package optimizes board space in compact designs.
