8-Bit ADCs with Serial Interface and
Configurable Input Multiplexer
Description
WM0834 and WM0838 are 8-bit analogue to digital
converters (ADC) with configurable 4-input and 8-input
multiplexers respectively and a serial I/O interface.
Assignment of the multiplexer inputs is configured before
each conversion via the serial data input to give single-ended
or differential operation for the selected inputs. A mixture of
input configurations can be used in the same application.
WM0838 also has a pseudo-differential configuration where
all 8 inputs can be refered to a common input at an arbitrary
voltage.
Serial communcation with WM0834/8 is via Data In (DI) and
Data Out (DO) wires under the control of clock and chip
select inputs. A high output at the SARS pin indicates when
the conversion is in progress. To initiate a conversion chip
enable is held low and data is input to DI on the rising edge
of the clock, comprising, a start bit, and bits to set up the
input configuration and polarity. After a half clock cycle delay
conversion results appear at DO on the falling edge of the
clock, MSB first, concurrently with A-D conversion. This is
followed by the results LSB first, indicated by the falling edge
of SARS. WM0838 has a shift enable (SE) input used to
control the LSB first output on DO.
WM0834/8 operate on 5V and 3.3V supply voltages and
are available in small outline and DIP packages for com-
mercial (0 to 70
O
C) and industrial (-40 to 85
O
C) tempera-
ture ranges.
