1. For microcontrollers without analog-to-digital converters or if you want an ADC with higher precision, provides 16-bit precision at 860 samples/second over I2C.
2. The chip can be configured as 4 unbalanced input channels or two differential channels.
3. As a nice bonus, it even includes an amplifier with programmable gain, up to x16 to amplify smaller single/difference signals to the full range.
4. We like this ADC because it can operate from 2V to 5V power/logic, can measure a wide range of signals and is super easy to use. It is a great all-purpose 16-bit converter.
5. The chip is quite small, so it comes on a breakout board with ferrites to keep AVDD and AGND quiet. The connection is via I2C. The address can be changed to one of four options (see datasheet Table 5), allowing you to have up to 4 connections
