Analog-input circuit serves any microcontroller


Posted on May 31, 2012

The simple ADC in Figure 1 is perfect for getting analog signals into a purely digital microcontroller. Using just five surface-mount parts, you can assemble it for less than 50 cents (1000), which is approximately half the cost of a single-chip-ADC approach in the same volume. Moreover, this design takes only one pin from the microcontroller to operate. Although you can purchase many microcontrollers with built-in ADCs, in some circumstances, this solution is impractical. For example, you might have an all-digital microcontroller already designed in.
