The MCP3008-I/SL is an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) comprising 10-bit, SPI 8-Channel, industrial temperature, SOIC16 manufactured by Microchip. It offers 5V tolerant input channels that can connect directly to a variety of sensors. Other features include 8 single-ended or 4 differential inputs, on-chip sample-and-hold, wide supply range, programmable data rate, and SPI interface with 10-bit resolution. The outputs are easily interfaced to most microcontrollers and DSPs, providing high accuracy and resolution for remote sensor applications. This device also features a temperature sensor, allowing it to detect and adjust temperature-induced errors in its application. The MCP3008-I/SL is optimized for low-cost and low-power applications, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
