The MCP3201 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) combines high performance and low power consumption in a small package, making it ideal for embedded control applications. The MCP3201 features a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture and an industry-standard SPI serial interface, allowing 12-bit ADC capability to be added to any PIC® microcontroller. The MCP3201 features 100k samples/second, 1 input channel, low power consumption (5nA typical standby, 400μA max. active), and is available in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC and TSSOP packages. Applications for the MCP3201 include data acquisition, instrumentation and measurement, multi-channel data loggers, industrial PCs, motor control, robotics, industrial automation, smart sensors, portable instrumentation and home medical appliances.
