Single-Supply Operation: +2.7 to +5.25V
The AS1524/AS1525 are low-power, 12-bit analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs) designed to operate with a sin-
gle +2.7 to +5.25V supply. Excellent dynamic perfor-
mance, low power consumption, and simplicity make
these devices perfect for portable battery-powered data-
acquisition applications.

The devices feature a successive-approximation regis-
ter (SAR), automatic shutdown, fast wakeup (1.4µs),
and low-power consumption at the maximum sampling
rate of 150ksps.

Input Common Mode Range from GND to VDD
3-Wire SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-Compatible Serial
Interface
Automatic shutdown (0.2µA) between conversions
results in reduced power consumption (at slower
throughput rates).

Internal Conversion Clock
8-pin TDFN (3x3mm) Package
Data access are made via an external clock through the
SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire high-speed
serial interface.
3 Applications
The AS1525/AS1524 are available in a 8-pin TDFN
(3x3mm) package.
The devices are ideal for remote sensors, data-acquisi-
tion, data logging devices, lab instruments, or for any
other space-limited A/D devices with low power con-
sumption and single-supply requirements.
