Data acquisition is usually any process of capturing and processing information from analog or digital output sources. Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are essential elements in data acquisition systems. They enable the user to perform various types of data acquisition operations, such as temperature monitoring and control, electrical signal conditioning, and spectral or spectral analysis.

The MCP3208-CI/P ADC is a fixed-point device that is used for 8-bit resolution size data acquisition jobs – such as temperature, voltage and current sensing. It is a low-power, precision device that offers an impressive range of features at a low cost. The MCP3208-CI/P features an 8-bit resolution with up to 12MHz sample rate, programmable gain amplifier and 12-bit resolution for temperature compensation. It also offers an easy to use SPI interface, which makes it ideal for data acquisition systems that require low-power consumption.

The MCP3208-CI/P offers several application areas, such as: temperature measurements, voltage and current sensing, strain measurement, sensing of mechanical vibrations, differential pressure sensing, and various diagnostic and monitoring systems. The basic operation of the device is the same across all of these applications, however the specifics of the implementation may vary depending on the application.

When it comes to working principle, the MCP3208-CI/P converts analog voltages into digital codes. It follows the “Delta-Sigma technique”, which is a popular computational technique for analog-to-digital conversions. The entire process is carried out in two steps: the first is a delta-sigma modulation step, and then a digital feedback loop reconstructs the analog signal from the digital output.

The delta-sigma modulation step takes input voltage along with a reference voltage and determines the difference between the two to produce a “quantized” difference value. The digital feedback loop compares the difference value to a predefined fixed value. If the difference is greater than or equal to the fixed value, a one is outputted. If not, then a zero is outputted. This process is repeated until the input voltage is completely converted into digital codes.

To summarize, the MCP3208-CI/P analog-to-digital converter is a versatile, low-power, and cost-effective device used for data acquisition. It can be used to perform various types of data acquisition operations in a range of applications, such as temperature measurements, voltage and current sensing, strain measurement, sensing of mechanical vibrations, and differential pressure sensing. It follows the Delta-Sigma technique which involves a delta-sigma modulation step followed by a digital feedback loop to reconstruct the analog signal from the digital output.
