5962-85127013A

Data Acquisition – Analog to Digital Converters (ADC)
5962-85127013A is an 8-pin low power monolithic Mixed-signal Converter. It is integrated in a single package that contains a 4-bit A/D converter, a 4-bit D/A converter, a voltage reference, and logic circuitry for controlling the conversion cycles. This combination of features makes the 5962-85127013A an ideal solution for applications that require high precision digital-to-analog or analog-to-digital conversion.

The 5962-85127013A is mainly used in digital servo motor control, data acquisition systems, as well as consumer electronic devices such as audio players and digital cameras. The high resolution and wide dynamic range of the A/D converter makes it suitable for process control in industrial applications where high accuracy is essential. It can also be used in medical equipment such as CT scanners and blood pressure detectors.

The 5962-85127013A features a dual-slope conversion method that is designed to ensure maximum accuracy and low noise. Its conversion process is initiated by injecting a known voltage into the selected channel. The unit then measures the voltage in 10ns resolution. The ADC computes the total integration time by subtracting the reference voltage from the measured voltage and subsequently reduces the comparator threshold voltage proportionally. The result is clocked off and the entire process is repeated for each digit until all the data are captured.

The 5962-85127013A is driven by an internal clock, which can be programmed from an external circuit. It works with a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C, allowing it to be used in hostile environments. The IC includes an integral voltage reference that eliminates the need for external voltage reference providing further flexibility. The device also supports low power operation and is compatible with low cost microcontrollers.

The 5962-85127013A is a cost-effective solution for applications that require high precision digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion. It is easy to program and supports low power operation, making it a suitable solution for various applications, such as process control, data acquisition systems, and consumer electronics.
