JAJSEC1C November 2019 – July 2020 ADS8686S
PRODUCTION DATA
The ADS8686S is a fully integrated data acquisition system (DAQ) based on a 16-bit, 8 x 2 channel successive approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with dual simultaneous sampling. The dual ADC architecture enables the ADS8686S to sample two analog channels simultaneously. This feature is important for voltage and current measurement in power automation applications. The device includes an integrated analog front-end for each input channel and an integrated voltage reference with a precision reference buffer. As such, this device does not require any additional active circuits for driving the reference analog input pins of the ADC. The ADS8686S also offers features such as higher throughput, burst mode, and a flexible channel sequencer, making the device an excellent choice for protection and measurement applications in power automation systems.
