Hello,

Can someone help me find a good A/D converter. I am looking for one that can go
down to 1mV, and interfaces with the stamp.

Thanks
AC

    The TLC2543 is an excellent converter. Easy to program and has a 12-bit
    output. If you need programming help let me know. Samples are available
    from TI if you want to go to the trouble.

    How hard is it to program?

    You need a Linear Tech LTC2400, a 24 bit chip, to get in the mv range. On
    their web site they have a BASIC Stamp connection example.

    Not hard. Here's a sample.

    Adread:
    low cs
    pause 10
    shiftout SDATA, clk, msbfirst, [noparse][[/noparse]ADch<<8\12]
    pause 10
    shiftin sdi, clk, msbpre, [noparse][[/noparse]result\12]
    high cs
    goto counter
    return

    I think it has 7 channels, and you have to address each channel. If you get
    one and are in need of help let me know off-line.

    I'm using the AD7730 from analog devices with the BS2,it accepts low level
    signals directly from a transducer and outputs a serial digital word.A
    recommended layout is important for the PCB that houses the AD7730.
