MCP3204-CI

Microchip Tech · Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) · PDIP-14

MCP3204-CI from Microchip Tech, in a PDIP-14. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CH0 input Analog input channel 0, which can be used as a single-ended input or as one side of a pseudo-differential pair.
2 CH1 input Analog input channel 1, which can be used as a single-ended input or as one side of a pseudo-differential pair.
3 CH2 input Analog input channel 2, which can be used as a single-ended input or as one side of a pseudo-differential pair.
4 CH3 input Analog input channel 3, which can be used as a single-ended input or as one side of a pseudo-differential pair.
5 NC unconnected No connection on the MCP3204 PDIP package.
6 NC unconnected No connection on the MCP3204 PDIP package.
7 DGND power_in Digital ground connection to the internal digital circuitry.
8 CS/SHDN input Chip select/shutdown input that is pulled low to start communication and pulled high to end a conversion and enter low-power standby, and must be pulled high between conversions.
9 DIN input SPI serial data input used to load channel configuration data into the device.
10 DOUT output SPI serial data output that shifts out the A/D conversion results; data changes on the falling edge of each clock.
11 CLK input SPI serial clock that initiates a conversion and clocks out each bit of the conversion; clock speed is constrained as described in Section 6.2.
12 AGND power_in Analog ground connection to the internal analog circuitry.
13 VREF power_in Reference voltage input for the A/D converter.
14 VDD power_in Power supply input, +2.7V to 5.5V.
