GENERAL DESCRIPTION

SNAD01C is a low cost serial 8-bits ADC with 8 individual input channels. Each channel can be independently programmed to a digital or analog input mode. In the analog input mode, this single-ended channel accepts an analog input signal from 0 to VREF and converts the signal into 12-bit digital codes (with 8-bit accuracy guaranteed). In the digital input mode, the channel can be treated as digital input port and the logic level appears at the channel can be acquired. SNAD01C has a synchronous 3-wires serial interface. Through this interface, the host CPU can easily control SNAD01C.
