MCP3208T-CI

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

MCP3208T-CI 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 a single-ended input or as the IN+ or IN- side of a pseudo-differential pair.
2 CH1 input Analog input channel 1, programmable as a single-ended input or as the IN+ or IN- side of a pseudo-differential pair.
3 CH2 input Analog input channel 2, programmable as a single-ended input or as the IN+ or IN- side of a pseudo-differential pair.
4 CH3 input Analog input channel 3, programmable as a single-ended input or as the IN+ or IN- side of a pseudo-differential pair.
5 CH4 input Analog input channel 4 (MCP3208 only), programmable as a single-ended input or as one side of a pseudo-differential pair.
6 CH5 input Analog input channel 5 (MCP3208 only), programmable as a single-ended input or as one side of a pseudo-differential pair.
7 CH6 input Analog input channel 6 (MCP3208 only), programmable as a single-ended input or as one side of a pseudo-differential pair.
8 CH7 input Analog input channel 7 (MCP3208 only), programmable as a single-ended input or as one side of a pseudo-differential pair.
9 DGND power_in Digital ground connection to the internal digital circuitry; the datasheet states it should be connected to the analog ground plane when a ground plane is available.
10 CS/SHDN input Pulled low to initiate communication with the device, and pulled high to end a conversion and place the device in low-power standby; it must be pulled 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 conversion; minimum clock speed constraints are given in 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.
16 VDD power_in Power supply input, +2.7V to 5.5V.
