## Description

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. Key Features 10-Bit Resolution – Successive approximation register (SAR) architecture 8 Input Channels – Eight single-ended analogue inputs SPI Interface – Industry-standard serial communication 200 ksps Sample Rate – At 5V supply Ultra-Low Power – 5nA typical standby, 425µA typical active Wide Temperature Range – -40°C to +85°C operating range Through-Hole Package – DIP format for easy breadboard and soldering use Ideal For Adding analogue inputs to Raspberry Pi projects Reading sensors, potentiometers, and analogue signals Battery-powered data logging Prototyping with breadboards Resources MCP3008 Datasheet (PDF)
