They are costly like 400rs for one IC. http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10464.html 2009-01-07T18:09:59-08:00 BJ OK, is there any option for it? or I just use parallel 122 bit ADC. If yes please suggest IC.thanks. http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10464.html 2009-01-07T18:09:59-08:00 pdi33 A common parallel 12 bit ADC is the ICL7109. U may get it for around rs.100.(it doesnot come any cheaper than that. ). If u r using the 89s52 uC than another option is to interface the ICL7135 which is a 20,000 count ADC but the interfacing is a bit tricky if u can handle it. download the datasheet of 7135 and read the 'uC interfacing using two wires' note in it.I specifically mentioned 89s52 as it has a special feature to output a 50% duty cycle high frequency output @ p1.0 which can be used as the clock for 7135.good luck http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10464.html 2009-01-07T18:09:59-08:00 shyam hi BJ if u wud not mind SPI instead of I2C , u will get adc's of even more resolution and higher bits.try googling for CS5460A it can operate as 24 bit but DElta-sigma.the cost be as high as 60 INR http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10464.html 2009-01-07T18:09:59-08:00 pdi33 nice one shyam bhai. will check that one out. if it works, it will solve a lot of my problems, thanks a lot. btw, is it available commonly in india? hopefully will find a sample peice here in mumbai. http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10464.html 2009-01-07T18:09:59-08:00 Arun Kumar V isn't the CS5460A a energy meter IC, its called a 24 bit ADC but one can get 12-14 bits with good input filtering.to get 24 bit resolution the input has to be very stable and should use very good filtering even then 24 bit is doubtful at the most 20-22 bit is what you getbetter alternative can be AD7991 which is a 4 ch 12 bit ADC with I2C interfacethere are N number of 12 bit ADCs from various companiesArun http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10464.html 2009-01-07T18:09:59-08:00 pdi33 no doubt there are many chips for 12 bit ADCs available arun, but what impressed me about the IC suggested by shyam was the price which is more than a value for money as compared to its features. .It is neverreally hard to find an IC which can fit ur specs (just google for it) but the real challenge is knowing whether it is available in ur local market and whether it fits ur pocket or budget. .Recently one of ur members (residing out of india) had a doubt of interfacing the AD7896 12 bit ADC so i checked its availabilty/price here and found that it cost around 1,150 INR!!!. http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10464.html 2009-01-07T18:09:59-08:00 shyam hi PDI33Arun is right it is an energy meter.easily available in Mumbai. by the way i already have some 20+ numbers with me if u require it . one thing to note. u will find similar notes as what Arun said @ 8052.comit is usually used to measure RMS voltages so a little bit of extra programming is required to make the data usefull .. and that shud be done considering the so low price .60 INR is the maximum price one wud offer u for the IC. http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10464.html 2009-01-07T18:09:59-08:00 pdi33 yep shyam, the first thing i did when i read ur prev post , i downloaded the datasheet and came to know that it is a energy meter IC. still i feel no harm in using it as a general purpose ADC i think.well, we do use the nokia graphical LCD for our own fancy projects though it is not meant for it don't we? http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10464.html 2009-01-07T18:09:59-08:00 BJ hello all, I studied datasheets of CS5460A and I would like to do project with it.but it is not available in our market in Pune!!!any solution?????? http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10464.html 2009-01-07T18:09:59-08:00 shyam u can contact me if u want...i have enough of it!
