ADC0804LCN datasheet by Texas Instruments

ADC0804LCN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency for the ADC0804LCN?
  The maximum clock frequency for the ADC0804LCN is 640 kHz. However, it's recommended to operate at a clock frequency of 640 kHz or less to ensure accurate conversions.
• How do I handle the output data from the ADC0804LCN?
  The ADC0804LCN outputs an 8-bit digital code in a serial format. You'll need to use a microcontroller or a digital logic circuit to latch and decode the output data. Make sure to use a suitable clock signal to synchronize the data transfer.
• What is the conversion time for the ADC0804LCN?
  The conversion time for the ADC0804LCN is approximately 100 μs. This is the time it takes for the ADC to complete one conversion cycle.
• Can I use the ADC0804LCN for single-ended or differential input signals?
  The ADC0804LCN is designed for single-ended input signals. If you need to convert differential input signals, you'll need to use an external instrumentation amplifier or a differential-to-single-ended converter before connecting to the ADC.
• How do I ensure accurate conversions with the ADC0804LCN?
  To ensure accurate conversions, make sure to follow proper PCB layout and grounding techniques, use a stable clock signal, and maintain a stable power supply voltage. Additionally, ensure that the input signal is within the specified voltage range and that the ADC is properly calibrated.
