ADS7953: 20 channel ADC issue

Part Number: ADS7953
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS8343, , ADS1112, ADS1118, ADS1115

hello 

   we have a new project that need 20channel ADC,because this project need modify on the exisiting project and ,that project has used ADS7953 which is 16 channel,so i need to find a other ADC which has 4 channel,in our library,we have ADS1112,and ADS8343.

  which one is more suitalbe for us,i think the analog input(measuring range) ,precision  and speed must be as same as ADS7953,please give me your advice,thanks  

  • Hi,

    What device that we recommend depends a little on what specification is important. First what data rate do you need? The ADS7953 has a data rate of 1MSPS but all the other devices that you suggested ADS1112 and ADS8343 are much lower in data rate (128SPS and 100kSPS vs 1MSPS).

    If a lower data rate is OK, I would probably use the ADS1115 (I2C communication) or the ADS1118 (SPI communication). Both devices are four multiplexed single-ended channels and have on-board references. Note that these devices can be run as single ended, but the data is reported as differential (with the single-ended measurement, the data is basically 15-bits).

    Again, it would help to know what specifications are important, and what the application is.
