General Description


The ADC081C021 is a low-power, monolithic, 8-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a +2.7 to 5.5V supply. The converter is based on a successive approximation register architecture with an internal track-and-hold circuit that can handle input frequencies up to 11MHz. The ADC081C021 operates from a single supply which also serves as the reference. The device features an I 2C-compatible serial interface that operates in all three speed modes, including high speed mode (3.4MHz).

The ADC's Alert feature provides an interrupt that is activated when the analog input violates a programmable upper or lower limit value. The device features an automatic conversion mode, which frees up the controller and I 2C interface. In this mode, the ADC continuously monitors the analog input for an "out-of-range" condition and provides an interrupt if the measured voltage goes out-of-range.

The ADC081C021 comes in two packages: a small TSOT-6 package with an alert output, and an MSOP-8 package with an alert output and two address selection inputs. The ADC081C027 comes in a small TSOT-6 package with an address selection input. The ADC081C027 provides three pin-selectable addresses while the MSOP-8 version of the ADC081C021 provides nine pin-selectable addresses. Pin-compatible alternatives to the TSOT-6 options are available with additional address options.

Normal power consumption using a +3V or +5V supply is 0.26mW or 0.78mW, respectively. The automatic power-down feature reduces the power consumption to less than 1µW while not converting. Operation over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +105°C is guaranteed. Their low power consumption and small packages make this family of ADCs an excellent choice for use in battery operated equipment.

The ADC081C021 and ADC081C027 are part of a family of pin-compatible ADCs that also provide 10- and 12-bit resolution. For 10-bit ADCs see the ADC101C021 and ADC101C027. For 12-bit ADCs see the ADC121C021 and ADC121C027.

Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
