TC7109ACPL

The TC7109A is a 12-bit plus sign, CMOS low power Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). Only eight passive components and a crystal are required to form a complete dual slope integrating ADC. The improved VO H source current and other TC7109A features make it an attractive per-channel alternative to analog multiplexing for many data acquisition applications. These features include typical input bias current of 1pA, drift of less than 1 μV/°C, input noise typically 15μVP - P, and auto-zero. True differential input and reference allow measurement of bridge type transducers, such as load cells, strain gauges and temperature transducers. The TC7109A provides a versatile digital interface. In the Direct mode, Chip Select and HIGH/LOW byte enable control parallel bus interface. In the Handshake mode, the TC7109A will operate with industry standard UARTs in controlling serial data transmission – ideal for remote data logging. Control and monitoring of conversion timing is provided by the RUN/HOLD input and Status output. The TC7109A has improved over range recovery performance and higher output drive capability than the original TC7109.
