MCP3008 8-Channel 10-Bit A/D Converter

The MCP3008 is an 8-channel, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that communicates via the SPI serial interface. This component allows you to easily connect multiple analog sensors to microcontrollers or single-board computers that lack native analog inputs, such as the Raspberry Pi.

Featuring a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) architecture and a sampling rate of up to 200 ksps, it delivers fast and accurate conversions. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, making it compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels.
