About
The Micropower ADC is a sequential approximation analog-to-digital converter specifically designed for use in space systems. It features radiation resistance, making it suitable for the harsh space environment. The ADC offers a 10-bit capacity and can achieve performance up to 1 MS/s. It operates with an input voltage range of 3-5 V and has a low power consumption of less than 1 mA. Communication is handled via a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The device includes a 16-channel input multiplexer, allowing for multiple signal inputs. It is designed to operate across a wide temperature range from -60°C to +125°C. The product was released in 2014 and is currently a prototype, with no flight qualification. While it is not adaptable to customer requirements, its design is similar to commercial ADCs like AD7490 and AD7475.
