The ADS8201 is a low-power, complete on-chip data
acquisition system optimized for portable applications
that require direct connections, wide dynamic range,
and automatic operation with very low power
consumption. The device includes
capacitor-based, successive approximation register
(SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC);
high-performance, continuous-time programmable
gain amplifier (PGA); and a fully automatic scan,
8-to-1 multiplexer (mux) with breakout to allow for
system design flexibility.

High Input Impedance
High-Performance PGA (Gain = 1/2/4/8)
PGA Breakout
Auto/Manual Channel Select with Gain
Auto/Manual Trigger
Many other features are included to further optimize
system operation. Conversion results may be saved
in an onboard first-in/first-out (FIFO) buffer and read
out at a later time. Each channel has a gain setting
that can be loaded automatically when it is selected.
To simplify the serial port design, the ADS8201 offers
a high-speed, wide-voltage serial interface. The
ADS8201 is ideal for sensor applications (for
example, bridge sensors, pressure sensors,
accelerometers, gyrosensors, temperature sensors,
etc.) as used in gaming and navigation.
