COP8SAC728M9

COP8SAC728M9 application field and working principle

The COP8SAC728M9 from Microchip is a 8-bit 8-channel Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) designed for embedded and automotive application. This device can be used in a variety of applications such as automotive, industrial and consumer electronics.

The COP8SAC728M9 operates with a maximum sample rate of 125KSPS with 8 inputs and a resolution of 8-bit. It has an integrated Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). In addition, it features a low-power low-noise architecture.

The COP8SAC728M9 also provides flexible analogue input path which includes a programmable integrated charge pump and an identical amplifier with adjustable gain from 1 to 8. This allows the user to troubleshoot a wide range of input signals from low-level signals to high-level ones.

The main application for the COP8SAC728M9 is to measure different types of an analog input, like temperature, pressure, current and voltage, and to convert it into a digital signal. The device also incorporates an integrated temperature sensor and low-voltage detectors.

The working principle of the COP8SAC728M9 is the conversion of an analog input signal into a digital signal. To do this, it uses a differential-input amplifier combined with a successive approximation technique. The voltage values of the input signal are compared to the reference volts and stored in the internal register of the COP8SAC728M9. The DAC then converts the stored values into a digital output.

The COP8SAC728M9 also provides an onboard user interface for flexible control. With its simple graphic user interface, the user can easily select a sample rate, configure the DAC and other parameters. The device also provides an I2C communication port for communication with other systems.

In conclusion, the COP8SAC728M9 is a very efficient device for embedded and automotive application. It has many advantages over other ADC/DAC devices, including a wide input range, low power consumption and low-noise architecture. Its application extends to various fields such as automotive, medical and industrial.
