LHA8960C

The LHA8960 is a 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter operating from a single VDD supply rail. It integrates a low-power high-speed 16-bit sampling ADC and a multi-function serial interface port. On the rising edge of the CNV conversion signal, the LHA8960 samples the differential voltage between IN+ and IN− pins; the IN+ pin swings from 0 V to VREF, while IN− is tied to ground. The reference voltage (REF) is supplied externally and can operate independently of the main VDD supply. Device power consumption varies linearly with sampling throughput. The SPI-compatible serial interface allows multiple ADCs to be daisy-chained onto a single 3-wire bus via the SDI input pin, with an optional conversion busy status indicator. A separate VIO I/O supply rail enables direct compatibility with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V and 5 V microcontroller logic voltages. The LHA8960 is available in 10-lead MSOP and compact 10-lead QFN packages, specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
