AD7608BSTZ-RL

AD7608BSTZ-RL is an 8‑channel, 16‑bit, simultaneous‑sampling ADC from Analog Devices. It provides eight analog inputs (configurable as 8 single‑ended or 4 differential) with a common front end and true simultaneous sampling across all channels. It uses a SPI‑like serial interface (DOUT/DIN with SCLK, CS) and a DRDY signal to indicate conversion completion. Features include programmable input ranges and an optional internal or external reference, making it adaptable to many front‑end configurations. The BSTZ package is RoHS compliant, and the RL suffix indicates tape‑and‑reel packaging for automated assembly. Typical applications: data acquisition, instrumentation, and industrial control systems requiring synchronized multi‑channel conversions. For exact electrical specs, input ranges, supply requirements, and timing, refer to the AD7608 datasheet.
