μPD7002 12-bit binary A/D converter

12-bit binary A/D converter

The μPD7002 is a high performance, low power monolithic CMOS A/D converter designed for microprocessor applications. The Analogue input voltage is applied to one of the 4 analog inputs.

By loading the input register with the multiplexer channel & the desired resolution of 8 or 12 bits, the integrating A/D conversion sequence is started.

At the end of the conversion the EOC signal goes low and if connected to the interrupt line of a microprocessor will cause an interrupt. At this point the digital data can be read in two bytes from the output registers.

The μPD7002 also features a status register that can be read at any time.

The μPD7002 is the A/D converter used by the BBC Microcomputer.
