General Description

The MCP3301 13-bit A/D converter features full differential inputs and low power consumption in a small package that is ideal for battery-powered systems and remote data acquisition applications. Incorporating a successive approximation architecture with on-board sample and hold circuitry, the 13-bit A/D converter is specified to have ±1 LSB Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) and ±1 LSB Integral Nonlinearity (INL) for B-grade devices and ±2 LSB for C-grade devices.

The industry-standard SPI serial interface enables 13-bit A/D converter capability to be added to any PIC® microcontroller.
