Conversion Rate

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMP100

Looking at the "Conversion Rate" section of the datasheet for the TMP100, do the units (s/s) stand for samples/second?  If so, why does your sample rate decrease as you go from 9-Bit to 12-Bit?

    Hello Joshua,

    Yes, s/s here stands for samples per second- unit for Conversion Rate. TMP100 uses a 12 bit ADC and at a conversion rate of 25s/s (40ms-conversion time) we can only guarantee a stable 9-bit ADC output because the its prone to noise. Whereas as at 3s/s we have enough time to produce a full 12-bit stable output.

    Hope this helps!

    Best Regards,
