The maximum frequency of the ADC in PCF8598C-2P is 40 kHz. However, it's recommended to operate at a frequency below 20 kHz to ensure accurate conversions.
The PCF8598C-2P is configured for 4-channel mode by default. To configure it for 8-channel mode, you need to connect the A0 pin to VCC or GND. Connecting A0 to VCC enables 8-channel mode, while connecting it to GND enables 4-channel mode.
The EOC pin is an output pin that goes low when the ADC conversion is complete. It can be used to interrupt the microcontroller to read the converted data, ensuring that the data is read only after the conversion is complete.
Yes, the PCF8598C-2P can be used with a 5V microcontroller. The device is compatible with 5V logic levels, and its output voltage is also 5V tolerant. However, ensure that the microcontroller's input voltage is within the recommended range of the PCF8598C-2P.
To handle noise and interference in the analog input signals, use a low-pass filter or a capacitor to filter out high-frequency noise. Additionally, ensure that the analog input signals are properly shielded and routed to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
