The MCP3008 is a 10-bit analogue-to-digital converter with eight single-ended input channels, communicating via SPI. It's a popular choice for adding analogue inputs to the Raspberry Pi and other digital-only boards — simply wire it up over SPI and start reading sensor data, potentiometers, or any analogue signal.

With a 200 ksps sample rate at 5V and ultra-low power consumption (5nA standby, 425µA active), the MCP3008 is well suited to both battery-powered and always-on projects. The through-hole DIP package makes it easy to use on breadboards and perfboard.
