16-bit Sibling for the ADC0831

Hi,

I'm newbie in need of a ADC with a better than 8 bit resolution (think I need 16 bits). The ADC mentioned in WAM
ADC0831 looks fine in every respect:

1. it's DIP8, great, 'cause there isn't much room·where I want to fit my circuit in, yet I want DIP it's SOO easy
2. it's serial synchronous which is very easy with a BS2
3. it's all laid out in the books, complete with source code and all, you've got to type it in and 'GO'

So, does anybody know of a 16bit sibling to the ADC0831?

Thx!

    Hello,

    ·· You can find the 16-bit siblings to the ADC0831 on the National Semiconductor website at:

    http://www.national.com/· By typing in ADC16 in the Part Number Search box to get the ADC16xxx listings.

    Look at the TI ADS1110. I paid $4 each for a couple of them. They come in a 6 pin SOT package so they are small. These were the least expensive 16 bit A/D converters I could find.

    Yeah,

    ·· I forgot to mention that I have never used one of the ADC16xxx chips, nor do I know if they're code compatible or what the prices are like.· I just knew about National's part numbering scheme.
