Texas Instruments has added a 12bit A/D convertor to its Burr-Brown product line featuring an I2C interface and a combination of high resolution, small packaging and low power consumption.

Texas Instruments has added a 12bit analogue-to-digital convertor (ADC) to its Burr-Brown product line featuring an I2C serial interface and a combination of high resolution, small packaging (MSOP-8) and low power consumption (350uA in high-speed mode) The high-performance ADS7823 is specifically designed for voltage supply monitoring, remote data acquisition, supervisory circuitry, and transducer interface applications found in personal computers, network servers, and industrial process control

"Customers that use the I2C protocol will now have the ability to upgrade the precision and performance of their system to 12bit with the miniature ADS7823", said Wayne Talley, product marketing engineer for TI's Data Acquisition products.

The industry-standard I2C control bus simplifies circuit design and maximises hardware efficiency in modern electronic systems where a number of peripheral ICs communicate with each other and the outside world on a single serial port.

The ADS7823 supports all three I2C serial bus and data transmission protocols: standard (up to 100kbit/s), fast (up to 400kbit/s) and high-speed (up to 3.4Mbit/s).

The ADS7823 offers a sample-and-hold amplifier and an internal asynchronous clock.

Key features include 50kHz sampling rate, guaranteed no missing codes to 12bit, 2.7 to 5V operation, and an internal four-word FILO.

An eight-channel version, the ADS7828, will be available in 3Q01.

The ADS7823 is available in an MSOP-8 package.

Suggested resale pricing starts at $2.98 in 1000 piece quantities.
