MCP3208T-BI

Microchip Tech · Analog To Digital Converters (ADCs) · SOIC-16

MCP3208T-BI from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-16. 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, programmable as single-ended or as one input of a pseudo-differential pair.
2 CH1 input Analog input channel 1, programmable as single-ended or as one input of a pseudo-differential pair.
3 CH2 input Analog input channel 2, programmable as single-ended or as one input of a pseudo-differential pair.
4 CH3 input Analog input channel 3, programmable as single-ended or as one input of a pseudo-differential pair.
5 CH4 input Analog input channel 4 (MCP3208 only), programmable as single-ended or as one input of a pseudo-differential pair.
6 CH5 input Analog input channel 5 (MCP3208 only), programmable as single-ended or as one input of a pseudo-differential pair.
7 CH6 input Analog input channel 6 (MCP3208 only), programmable as single-ended or as one input of a pseudo-differential pair.
8 CH7 input Analog input channel 7 (MCP3208 only), programmable as single-ended or as one input of a pseudo-differential pair.
9 DGND power_in Digital ground connection to the internal digital circuitry, to be connected to VSS or the analog ground plane as described in section 6.5.
10 CS/SHDN input Chip select/shutdown: pulled low to start communication, pulled high to end a conversion and enter low-power standby; must be high between conversions.
11 DIN input SPI serial data input used to load channel configuration data into the device.
12 DOUT output SPI serial data output that shifts out the A/D conversion results; data changes on the falling edge of each clock.
13 CLK input SPI serial clock that initiates a conversion and clocks out each bit of the result; clock speed constraints apply per section 6.2.
14 AGND power_in Analog ground connection to the internal analog circuitry.
15 VREF power_in Reference voltage input for the A/D converter; the valid voltage range is not stated in this pin table.
16 VDD power_in Power supply input, +2.7V to 5.5V.
