Sorry that's a duel MCP3421 is the single $1.8 /100's -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On Behalf Of Marc Nicholas Sent: 08 October 2013 21:25 To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Subject: Re: [EE} MCP3221 Thanks, Steve. They're a bit pricey for my application (they appear to be about $2.50), but look like a nice chip. -m On 2013-10-08, at 4:09 PM, "Steve Smith" wrote: > Try an MCp3422 we have use on 2 projects as shunt amplifiers slow but=20 > very accurate... >=20 > Steve >=20 > -----Original Message----- > From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On=20 > Behalf Of Marc Nicholas > Sent: 08 October 2013 19:14 > To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. > Subject: [EE} MCP3221 >=20 > Howdy. >=20 > I'm in the market for an ADC.=20 >=20 > - Definitely want I2C as the device already has several devices on the 'bus' > and we have good, stable I2C code (this is an ARM device) > - 12-bits (or at least 10 'real' bits) would be preferred > - Power consumption well below 1mA when converting > - A standby/shutdown mode that has virtually no quiescent current > - Small (< 10 mm^2 is preferable) > - Around a buck in quantity 250 > - Neither sampling latency (I2C sees to that) or maximum samples per=20 > second are terribly important -- 1Hz updates would be just fine >=20 > The MCP3221 scores well (I2C, comes in a variety of addresses, is=20 > 12-bit(-ish), <250uA current, <1uA standby, SOT23-5, ~$1.40).
