Description

The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP3550/1/3 devices are 2.7V to 5.5V low-power, 22-bit Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs). The devices offer output noise as low as 2.5 μVRMS, with a total unadjusted error of 10 ppm. The family exhibits 6 ppm Integral Non-Linearity (INL) error, 3 μV offset error and less than 2 ppm full-scale error. The MCP3550/1/3 devices provide high accuracy and low noise performance for applications where sensor measurements (such as pressure, temperature and humidity) are performed. With the internal oscillator and high oversampling rate, minimal external components are required for high-accuracy applications.
